Hi all, Just been outside swearing a bit! I see the logic but I reckon I need to get down the gym a bit as can't get the tensioner to budge even a bit. I'm only using a spanner though so could be time to buy a breaker bar? I have tried a fairly big socket and ratchet too but space is limited...

Guys, this is great thank you - I'll go give it a go now!

Hi Dave, Do you mean prying the belt or persuading the tension itself? I don't see how the tensioner works to be honest, its not car exactly how it keeps the belt tight (The previous belt was quite slack hence the reason I have tried to replace it) Cheers again for the help guys...

Hi guys, My belt was proclaimed as knackered by my auto electrician so today I started fitting the new one. I looked at a guide online and started work - Got the old one off by loosening the pulled on the tensioner and routed the new belt through after checking that both the old and the...

Hey guys, thanks so much for the steers - I'll get some bits ordered tomorrow for it :) o :)

Hi Guys, Have searched the forum and cannot find an answer to this one - Assistance appreciated! Sorry if this is a stupid question but can you adjust the tension of the fan belt if it has a tensioner fitted? My fan belt is very slack and now kippered so need to get a new one, just want to...

Sounds good! Do you have any pictures? o :)

Hi all! Having a bit of a challenge trying to find two parts that should be simples! I'm trying to find a pair of headlight surrounds that are either proper Nas units or ones that have not had the lower holes drilled for the indicators; can anyone advise? Have tried to glass the existing ones...

Hey all, Its been quite a weekend of fettling and i'm enjoying seeing the progress. Nas rear lights were on the agenda and I've taken time to ensure spacing and execution is as it should be. First up was taking out the reverse light and marking out for the first plinth to go on. I had...

Hey guys! The Defender NAS was initially a soft-top but they later launched 90 estate and 110 versions and i'm modeling mine on the White USA 3.9 V8 Press car from 1993 (As tested against the Jeep Warngler 4.0 in Car & Driver magazine). More parts have been arriving today and I have got online...

Hi all, Thought i'd provide an update on progress. Its all been happening of late, with various discussions ref roll cages, tyres and the like but last weekend I really knuckled down and got some jobs on the to-do list done. First up for me was sorting the temp sender which was registering way...

Hi all, The dashboard top on my car has cracks in it so was going to replace it with a good used one, but this got me thinking; what other used dashboard would drop straight in into its place? Was wondering if later dash types had different interfaces for fitting or if some later dashes were...

Hahaha! Think i'll avoid that mod :D

Great tips Steve! I'm sorta going for the standard look inside so was hoping to fit a good used or even new dash. Those seats look great, what are they from? Again, I'm looking to stay standard inside but dont as yet know what the standard fit was for Nas. o :)

Hey all, cheers for the responses. Steering wheel - Cheers for the advice red the leather wheel, I may well go this route but I want to see if I can a way to convert to more splines so I can get the correct Nas wheel to fit on. Bulkhead - Cheers for the comments, yea I guess i'l be taking out...

Ok, here's the plan so far. I'm planning to fix some minor faults whilst I modify & improve. First up is the dashboard - Its got some age-related cracks that i'd like to get sorted; Is it hard to replace? The interior is looking its age so i'm on a mission to get it looking sharper and...

Oops my bad, Here's a list of whats been done so far - I've probably forgotten a few things which i'll add later. 1. Full 300TDI engine conversion inc auto gearbox & intercooler 2. Chassis overhaul 3. Full repaint in Frozen White including wheels 4. New bumpers 5. New lights all round 6. New...

First pics she's off-roading already! Will post up my plans shortly! o :)

Hi all, Just yesterday I realized a long term ambition and bought my first Landy. I've wanted one ever since I say a group test of a a Jeep Wrangler vs a white Nas Defender in a 1993 edition of Car & Driver that I bought whilst I was on holiday in Canada when I was a kid. I've usually gone...

Ah yes, Your thinking along the same lines as me with modding/pimping my ride! Want it to learn how to off road but don't want to splash out on a winch or cage quite yet. Will get some spot lamps, steering guard, NAS lights, Freestyle wheels and rear work lamp first me thinks.. o :D
