Don't love it that much!!!! I will get it looked at by a proper welder I have a number for a local metal fabricator who is very reasonable but looking under it looks like a lot of work whoever does it. I bought a welder this year but with two other projects already taking up my time and...

I know I should Ian my dream would be to get the new chassis delivered then gradually build up the car around it taking my time. However it's space and money I need! Anyone know what kind of cost having a new chassis fitted is?

Well today was the dreaded day! My 1991 Defender 90 went for its MOT I knew it would need welding and some other bits but wanted to know how bad it was so I figured stick it through the MOT and see what comes up. Once up on the ramp we noticed the Battery box which I knew needed replacing...

Gave it a good clean today then drove it home from work and it rewarded me by then not starting five minutes later. I fitted a new stereo last week and think it must be taking a drain on the battery!!

Thanks for that, I will have to have a look at the bank first!! Strangly it has not been too bad since.

Got up nice and early to change the Hub cap on my 90 in the hope it would stop the leak. After a drive to work discovered it had not worked so now planning changing the hub bearings and seals

So on Rimmer Bros website and looking at the kits 90-110 & Defender Rear Hub & Stub Axle at www.rimmerbros.co.uk In a nut shell below is the quick copy and paste. You say go for the better ones which I would normally do. However can there be that much difference in quality to make over £100...

Thanks for that. I replaced the breathers when I did the initial work, so hopefully they are still clear. I thought I would try the cap again on that wheel this morning so I removed the old one and replaced with a new one and used some sealant to be really sure! By the time I got to work it had...

Morning all, I'm after some advice. I was getting some lovely patterns on my rear tyres caused by diff oil leaking from the hub and spraying around the tyre as I drove. As much as I love the pretty pattern it's probably time I got it sorted! It was on both wheels originally so first thing I...

Thanks James it was the engine oil I was after, I have a few bottles of Diff oil from my when I changed it. Just removed the speedo cable and speedo to try and work out the issue. It had been pulled from the dash end and so was not attached at the gear box end. I have ordered a new cable I...

I completely blanked another Defender today:5bredface: Driving along my normal route to work A128 Brentwood and passed a 110? I think but I was very busy tying my shoelace or listening for a noise/playing with the radio and putting stuff in my newly fitted cubby box!! Completely missed it until...

What oil is best to use for the change? I'm guessing the thicker the better?

With my broken speedo it's hard to say how many miles since its last oil change but it was end of last year so it's probably done 4000ish the leak from the rear diff/hub is off putting with regards to the light as you can smell the hot oil from the leak at the same time as you see the light...

I am in two minds at the moment Albert. Been looking around at 90's for sale with new chassis etc.. And thinking the difference between what mine is worth as it is and a completed one. Looks less than the cost of doing mine. If I spend all the money on mine it will still not be my perfect 90, I...

Just about to pop out and have a look at the speedo and fit a radio. Tomorrows drive to work could be luxury!!

Thanks for that I will get that checked out first then.

Just been having a look on the Internet for chassis replacment found these guys in Nottinghamshire Chassis Replacements | Customisation from Tonks4x4 To supply and fit a galvanised chassis incl Vat £2600 I know once you start swapping the whole thing you will need to do a few other jobs but...

Well I think that's all that needs doing!! I spent a fair bit last year having a service and the brakes overhauled, I would like to get it all sorted chassis wise before the winter kicks in. Number for your man would be great Thanks

A fair few jobs. It's running fine in general I use it pretty much every day so nothing that's stopping it from going!! It has a bit of rust on the chassis, mainly just general surface stuff however it does have one whole in one of the front arms. This obviously needs doing, I also have a...

Decided I would crack on with fitting my new battery box. Removed the seat and inspection panel Removed the battery Looked and the mess of rusty jagged metal that was once my battery box. Looked at the shiny new battery box Decided I had no idea how I was going to even start riveting the new...
