stud length is a problem, but id imagin that its wheels fowling on the drive members thats your problem. which alloys do you have? easyest fix (for both these problems) is putting on wheel spacers on, not cheep though. o

To start with if your 89 defender has the origanal axles, then the studs are not designed for alloy wheel nuts. easy way to tell is if there is a line on the end of each stud the are sutible for alloy wheel nuts. if not and they are just plain ends then they are to short! Next asuming it is the...

Can any one tell me how to steal there defender. I can get past the simple locks but I'm struggling with the electrics, they keep stopping me? I only ask as due to all the snow I what to steal some landrovers to sell while the price is high.

that 90 on ebay, is certainly a project! need a chassis and bulk head. looks like a fantstic bace though for a rebuild, if you like the nuts and bolts side of a landrover.

since when was a old disco body a good body shell? apart from the rotten frount & rear arches, rotten sills, hole that was once a boot floor and foot wells you can stamp through. there is the huge rear overhang and a lot of car infrount of the frount wheels. Then theres all the problems with...

if it not leaking you had best to it up!

After read through what you said, I would say they haven't reconnected the earth cable from the battery. Would explain starting problems. And they would have never of need to go near the starter if they took the box out. Crunching gears in more than lightly down to a clutch problem, as they...

R380, As far as I know same box as disco but you will need defender linkage

please dont tell me this is for a road car. i can just imagin you explaning to a judge that you were trialing an experimental brake system, and you ment to stop befor you hit the bus stop. let alone what any insutrance company would have to say. That said if your doing it for a off road racer...

My 90 failed its mot today, needs new down pipe, new trackrod ends. And 4 spots on the rear crossmember need welding, I am happy that my welding is ok to put on a new x member but my little migmate 105 which i have been learning on is not. Can any one tell me how powerfull a mig i will need to...

contaminated by oil, is often caused by the wheel bearing being lose and the hub seal leaking.

the only ajustment in the tracking on a defender is the track rod, which from memory should be 1230mm between the centers of the ball joints. the only other thing to ajust is the drag link and that will just change were the steering whell faces.

will fit no problem, prity much the same axle, but will they be load rated for a 110?

As the tile suggests I'm selling up, after nearly 10 years of various landrover i can no longer justify owner shop. I know there a a lot of new owner all ways on here so though i would ask what maked you pick your 90? I am i right in thinking most perople buying a 20 yr old 90 would expect to...

what kind of noise and when, do they bind when staionary?

I changed from pick up to hard top a year or so ago, roof side and door were total of £100 plus a few little bit didnt get with them say £30. Sold the truck cab with a ****ed head lining for £320! and was the best thing i ever did, now i can put the seat back and be in relative comfort. Good...

that transfer box look like it is leaking from the front out put seal, as the oil is thrown round as far as the chassis. Also looks to be a small leak from the rear out put and its hard to tell wether its the other leaks or maybe from the inspection cover as well. All easy jobs there is a "how...

not all stainless is the same, the cheeper stuff with less/more? carbon will corode after a time.

If you jack the front wheels off the ground them wobble them top to bottom and side to side, do you get any play. you may need to push quite hard. I only say this as as from what you decribe, it sound a lot like a losses wheel bearing, i apreciate you have cheaked the torque but it may well have...

you have 2 options that i know of 1) try and tap them round with a punch or the like. 2) and the way i do them, 1mm cutting disk, to make a slot across the head and undo with a flat screw driver. it dosce meen you have a cut across the clamp but i fid it stll works fine. if you feel you need...
