Did her make-up look a **** when she'd done hitting ya? Did she end up with lipstick up her nose?

Identity crisis?! The badge does look vaguely familiar though...?

You're really selling it to us at this rate! :D

I had some right problems with my TD5 90 not long after I bought it... There was a whine from the rear end and I figured it was the fuel pump as it got louder if I took the filler cap off. It got to the stage where it would cut out every 5 miles or so and I had to turn the engine off for 5...

If you think about it, when you get into the Defender you would typically open the door with your right hand, holding your keys in the left. Then you don't have to swap hands back! God, we're a lazy bunch!

Poor fookers were probably after a bit a wood to rebuild their homes that the yanks blew up earlier that day

I called them to get a price on a ground anchor - they said they'd call me back but never did. Maybe if they advertised their prices... Ah, screw 'em I say!

You tried the air flow meter? I had a similar problem on a car years ago where it went totally flat if you put your foot down - turned out that's all it was in the end.

Hi Guys, I've just noticed something on my Defender 90 - it's wonky! The passenger's side is about an inch lower than the driver's side, and it's bugging the hell out of me... I'd never noticed it before, but it caught my eye as I looked at it parked outside the office. I've dug out a few...

You mean pre 2007 models came fitted with leg room?! ;)

Here are some pics of my 90 with wheel spacers on. Hope they help! I've not had any bother with them at all, though one thing which may be worth noting (on these in particular) is that the studs pattern is different to the originals - as in, your wheels might not fit (I've got 18" Range Rover...

I fitted a Tmax 11000lb winch to the back of my 90 hard top and haven't done anything fancy with the batteries... I considered it but from what I could gather there's no real need to go for anything other than the standard stuff unless you're really going to be giving it some hammer. Mine's had...

Haha, some guy at Kirton washed the wheel and plates with the pressure washer - but I like the 'spray on mud' idea... Maybe they should sell it for the soft-roaders?!

I've got some 265/65R18 BFG All Terrains on mine (on 18" Range Rover alloys) but I've also got wheel spacers on. I wouldn't like to go any bigger with the wheels though until I get the lift sorted out as you can see from the pics! Also, if you do fit wheel spacers, I would definitely recommend...

Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience tinkering with the gear ratios on a TD5, specifically the upgrade from Ashcroft Transmissions (details here). At £646 fitted, it's not cheap - so I would expect a considerable differences in fuel consumption, drivability and decreased...

I haven't tried these, but I found a Mountney quick-detatchable steering wheel online from Scorpion - check out Scorpion Racing - Suppliers of Fast, Extreme On and Off Road Road Products. Is some scum-bag sees a steering lock, there's a chance they can get it off. If they see no steering...

I've got a chipped 52 plate TD5 van with an uprated intercooler and some fat road tyres. I've taken it to 110mph, before running out of road! It was screaming like f**k though and I cringed to think how much juice it was drinking! I don't usually take it above 70 though for the same reasons (I...

Nice one, thanks a lot for the advice. Clutchless-shifting on my motorbike gives me a good idea of the engine speeds etc, but understanding the vehicle helps a lot.

If I take it *really* steady, and let the revs drop off, it shifts fine. But if I try and get it into the next gear before that, that's when it grates. It's my first Landy so I'm not sure what is and isn't the norm (knowing they're not renowned for the refinement!)

Hi Guys, I got my beloved 90 a couple of weeks ago from a decent, reputable 4x4 specialist, but now I've got used to driving it have noticed that the gears seem to grate a little when shifting up into second, and more so into third. It happens when I press the clutch but don't let the revs drop...
