Gents, Thanks for the info, you are probably right about the space and not having things out like a Walmart, I mean Halfords. I too cant tell the diference between a good and bad seal but the larger, stronger, heavier things like tub and tree sliders seem to range from 100-300 pounds so I...

All, I live in Suffox and would like to go to a shop that sells Land Rover bits off the shelf. Most of the places I see are on line and I cant get a feel for quality, ect. Is there anywhere around that you can walk throught an isle and fill your basket with bits for your project? The...

Hey all, I was using the local pay and play this weekend and my Landy spent some time in the water/mud. Now she is making what sounds to me like a brake noise (sticking/draging) when I turn to the right. The noise increases/decreases with road speed. When I apply brakes it goes away. I dont...

Thanks for the advice, I probably dont realy need a new chassis as mine is very solid. I do however have OCD when it comes to the unknown condition of the chassis from the inside. The galvanised chassis will give me peace of mind that the inside looks like the outside. Once the Land is back...

All, I took my 90 out to the local pay n play this weekend after some long awaited rain. As a beginner i shortly found myself in the deep mud and had to be pulled out. I knew my landy was tough but I am so proud and happy with her. Once I checked the oil to make sure she was good I started...

Thank you all for the information, I will sell whats left and turn the V5 back into DVLA. The truck was modified a little anyway so I didnt think it could be rebuilt legaly. The motor mounts were moved forward to allow for the longer Disco (I think) transmission. It has a 200TDi but based off...

I have a rolling chassis with motor and trans that I will need rid of soon. I bought it as a parts car and took the good bits off. I have a V5 but I reciently made it SORN as the tax was coming due. There is also no MOT on the vehicle. My questions is, should I sell it with the V5 or should...

Very nice Landy but it is too clean and looks to be dent free which is a faul. Your landy should look like it got into a fight with Chuck Norris. Now talk real nice to the better half (if applicable) so you can start bolting on the required toyz

The steel cross bars are riveted to the floor but all but a few are easy to get to with a drill bit. There are a few welds along the sides and back that can be drilled out and then the floor can be removed with the laterial ali braces. If you have corrosion comming throught the floor then you...

Use Dextron III for the LT77 and 80/90W for the transfer box and axles (make sure it is GL4 and not GL5). I bought two sprayers and put extension hoses on the end to help fill the boxes. takes a little time but easy and relaxing (just watch for the spillage). The engine oil I used was a...

yes it has a V5 and it is a B reg 1985ish if I did the conversion right. I think as the truck bacame older and started to rot things were changed to keep it going. I guess the nice thing is that old 90s/110s and fairly newer Defenders can share a lot of the same parts. Makes shopping around...

Yea, I think Bitsa sounds better (cool old video). Sorry for the Fanatic, the truck is a Land Rover 90 but the sticker on the grill says Land Rover 110 so that is why it is funny to me. The guy before me didnt remove the sticker (decal). Just a 90 fram that looks new (brand new). If you buy...

Hey all, I have a 1985 B reg Land rover 90. The front has a 110 sticker and the tub has galvanised end caps. The fenders seem to be newer because they have the side markers. The bulkhead seems very new (zero rust). The front wind screen is also not the fold down type lik my 1986 (c reg)...

Thank you Mr. Martin, that is what I was hoping but I wasnt for sure. My luck I would have cut the wire and it would lock the brakes up. Thanks again for the help. Doug

Good morning all, I have a set of near new axles off a newer defender (with ABS). Can I just swap them for the axles that are under my 1985 Land Rover 90 and just disconnect the ABS line or will I need to replace or modify the caliper. It looks like plug and play for the most part but I...

All, I just bought some replacement hard top side panels with windows. They are in good condition minus the side panel to tub seal (thick spongy seal). Does anyone know where I can find this part (both sides)? Also do I need anything for the hard top to windscreen. From the outside I can...

Afternoon everyone, I am in the need of a new (another) steering box but I think I might have the wrong one currently. I have the 3 bolt version with the three bolts in a triangle pattern and one bolt in the middle. The ones I have been looking at on ebay call it a range rover steering box...

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for helping me learn more about my Land Rover. The folks here are awesome and dont care that I am a FNG to the scene. I think Busters write ups are great, I used his wead sprayer pump idea to change the ATF fluid and it worked a treat. I have to do the...

Afternoon all, I am getting ready to do some work on my 90 and am having trouble with what type of gear oil and auto trans fluid I need. The manual says to use ATF for the gear box but not what kind. I went to my local auto store and they have several kinds (ford, chevy, Ect). Also the...

Good on you for wanting a LR 90. I too am American and am living here in the UK for 3 more years. I am a long time Jeep guy and I had a 01 TJ that I sold to buy an A reg Ex RAF 90. Everything that I have seen on this thread is spot on to what I have been seeing across the board. I have been...
