Thank you both for your advice. Does it matter what metal coating I go for, the gold passavate or the PSU Zinc, is it just a colour preferrence or does one give better metal rust protection than the other? Thank you Chris

Hi What do people think of this one from Rebel4x4 Steering Guards, Diff Guards & Jate Rings for Land Rover Defender / 90 / 110 / Series II / Series III Its the 3rd one down the Reinforced Rebel guard, it has a 5mm plate behind to add strength. I won't be doing hugely serious offroading as this...

Thanks. What do you think of this one from Rebel4x4 Steering Guards, Diff Guards & Jate Rings for Land Rover Defender / 90 / 110 / Series II / Series III Its the 3rd one down the Reinforced Rebel guard, this one is a bit more expensive and has a 5mm plate behind to add strength. Somebody on...

Thank you to everyone thats replied. I've got a couple of other questions: If I was to fit a steel one, how much of a hit will it have on the performance, or will you not really notice anything? - my 90 does quite a bit of duel carridge way driving & overtaking etc you see. Last question, I've...

Thank you everybody for your advice. I think I'll go for a steel one then, I'll have a look round for the best prices. Regards Chris

Thank you for the help MrJC. I was going to get some diff guards aswell, i was just a bit confused over the steering/sump guard thing because some online shops call the steering guard a sump guard. What type of steering guard do you recommend, an aluminum or steel one & a 1 pcs or 3 pcs one...

Hi Sorry to sound like an idiot here, but I'll be getting around soon to putting some offroad protection on my 90 and would like to know if a steering guard and sump guard are the same thing? Do steering guards also cover the sump on Defenders? Thanks for the help Chris

Hi I've been trying to find the tracking information for my 1993 Defender 90 to no avail. I'm getting new tyres put on today, so would like to know the measurements to tell the tyre place, just incase they don't have them, if anyone knows them? Thank you Chris

Hi What do people recommend as the tyre pressures front & back for 235/70/r16 All terrains on my 1993 200TDi Defender 90 please?. 95% of my driving is on the roads, round town/dual carriageways/motorways etc. Thank you Chris

Does anybody know a rough price a Land Rover specialists garage will charge to replace the footwell behind the pedals in a 90, as its rotting away at the bottom. The base (straight part) of the footwell is fine, but the small strip of metal in between the base and pedal section has a hole and...

Hi I've heard conflicting views on the oil to use. I'll go for the 15W40, but somebody said that sticky oil (like Castrol Magnatec) is no good, but somebody else recommended it. Also what type would be best: mineral, fully synthetic or part synthetic etc? Thank you Chris

Hi What engine oil would people recommend to use on a Defender 200TDi? Thank you Chris

thanks for the replies. i've got it booked in to a Landy specialist called Keith Gott in hampshire to do, I've been there a few times for work in the past few years. I asked was it worth just patching it, but their mechanic said no way it needs replacing. They said £225 in total to weld the...

Hi I'm wondering how much the average Land Rover specialists garage would charge for a passenger side outrigger replacement for my 1993 Defender? Could anyone give me a rough price I'll be looking at? Thank you Chris

Hiya I've been trying to find a downloadable owners manual for my Defender. I've searched through the forums but all the links are out of date. I've also searched google, but only seem to find manuals for 1983-1990 models. Any help is much appreciated. Chris

Thanks guys for letting me know its a 300TDi conversion, appreciate it.

Yes my question is, is this the original engine. Because i've read the other day that only H reg Defenders registered September onwards have the 200TDi, so if this is from 1st August it shouldn't have the 200TDi.

Here's the link 1990 LAND ROVER 90 4C SW DT DIESEL BLUE on eBay (end time 12-Apr-10 14:30:32 BST) So it is a 200TDi, but is it meant to have one being registered on 1st Aug

Here is the pic of the engine. But I need to know if a Defender being registered on the 1 August 1990 is meant to have or not meant to have a 200TDi. The pic maybe a 200TDi, but if this Defender is not meant to have it, it means I can't buy it because i'm only 23 and the insurance on an engine...

Hi Can somebody please help. I've just seen a Defender on ebay that is an H reg and on his description it says it was registered on 1st August 1990. Does this mean it has a 200TDi or the old 2.5TD because I've searched on google and found a place saying only Defenders from September onwards had...
