    Fuel level problems

    I’ve had my 90 for about five years but the fuel gauge has never worked. to try and cut a long story short and eliminate any wiring faults I’ve made a test rig out of the 90. Trouble is I can still only get the gauge to work in reverse when it works at all. I have a new level sender and the...

    Defender front screen size

    hi folks. I’m on my third heated screen because water/condensation sits in the bottom rubber and rots out the contacts. Is the glass parallel so I could flip it and have the contacts at the top?

    Head bolts

    I’m about to change the 300tdi in my defender for a known good discovery 300tdi. The only snag I can see I’m going to face is the air cleaner housing needs to be bolted through the head bolts and isn’t on the discovery engine. What’s the opinion on here?

    Rear wheel bearing adjustment

    i'm wondering if the stub is bent myself. i pressed the races in firmly and they are nice and tight in the hub. i've crack tested the stub with NDT paint and it passed. for the sake of £20 i might just order a stub and a wheel bearing kit
