Forgot to mention. Its a 2.5n/a LR90. If that make any odds!

I used to have a 2.5n/a. I used to say the same thing. Untill I grew up and fitted a 200TDI!! They are the bollox!! **** loads more power 111bhp as opposed to 68bhp of the n/a (i think). Because of this extra power the engine isnt working its tits off trying to kep up with mopeds. Therefore...

Alright everyone! A good friend of mine has a problem... about 6 months ago he had black stuff dripping from his bell. :eek: The verdict from the doctor was that he had been wading through **** without wading plugs and this had nackered his rear main oil seal. So, he bit the bullet...

Noticed my rear shock was angin off yesterday. Probly since my transferbox popped out of gear while decending a steep hill at the quarry. Sending me hurtalin down the fooker and smacking the **** out of me landy! Anyhow, bought and fitted some new bushes to it last night. Oh and a nice new...

Well. Ive taken it to the garage, and all i know is it drives in a fookin straight line now! Job done!

Nice work Trewy!

I put me some heavy duty steering arms on the other day. Cus I bent to fook out of the standard ones. Not easy driving home up the motorway with one wheel pointing NE and the other pointing NW!! :eek: Took it today to have the tracking sorted (many thanks to MHM for the info!) Had to go to...

Thanks MHM. Do you know what that is in degrees/minutes?

I am having to take my landy to a commercial vehical garage to get the trackin sorted after bending the fook out of my steering arms last week. Can anyone tell me what the toe should be for the tracking on my 1986 LR90? Thanks in advance!

sounds like a plan!

the cp on the bonnet was painted black when i first got her. But the paint didnt seem to stick so well to the stainless. so it was very patchy and flaky. Looked terrable so I wirebrushed it all off!

Camo is the way to go. Either that or matt black!! IMO Here is my ex-mod defender after her last paint job. Not quite so clean now though!

Not like a diesel can! without hassle!

With regards to speakers. Ive got two sealed boat speakers mounted at the back of the footwell behind ya feet. They sound pretty good as they are in their own case and produce a bit of bass. But you still gotta crank em up to drown out the noise of the landy!

200 is the way to go... but i would disagree with Ian and say keep the defender transfer box!

Yeeeahhhh get your self a V8......... Then you can go really fast down the road and as soon as you get off road you can drive around all the water that everyone in a diesel is going straight through!!! :rolleyes: V8 my arse!

Nice Disco mate!! What are those boggers like on the road? Do they make a lot of noise?

Hrrrmm, I can see the tool, but cant see how the fook it works! Anyway, I have just come to turn mine over after fitting a new belt and my starter is fooked! So I wouldnt, at this point advise trying to undo the crank bolt using your starter!! Seems to have burnt mine out!

I have re-fitted my head, rocker arm and set all the tappets. Fitted the new cam belt and tentioned it all up. Came to turn it over last night to see if i have got the fuel pump sprocket in the right place, and...... click click click. My fookin starter motor is fooked! Probly burnt it out...

50cm is whats in the handbook. But, my mate has had water over his bonnet with no snorkel on many occations, with no issues. Thats more like 70cm! Plus he wasnt complaining about his alternator or ECU!! Plug? Gearbox? If you are missing a plug from the gearbox then your gunna have a lot of...
