    Gave some local 'Corsa' boys something to think about at the 'Traffic Light Grand Prix'. :) Can't beat a V8. PS £60.00 lighter due to the above :eek:

    Money well spent methinks? My wife thinks I'm mad spending money on a 23 year old 90, but she had a drive last weekend - loved it :D PS Dan I have sent you a PM about my old seats, but I cannot see the message in my 'sent box'. Hope it got to you?

    1989 Landy 90 heater issue

    OK Chaps - progress of sorts! Spent a few hours in the garage with Landy and checked the hot air cable (working perfectly) and the 2 x rubber hoses on the left hand side of the heater box (both nice and warm) so I think it must be the heater matrix? It is 23 years old after all...

    1989 Landy 90 heater issue

    I have done the usual searches on the forum (brilliant by the way) and t'internet, but would be grateful for some more help. The fan blower in my 90 has excellent air flow, problem is the air is always cold. I know the 90s aren't equipped with the best heaters, but some hot should come...

    Last weekend I took INSAs off my 90 and refitted with BFG ATs to see if road driving was any better - results much better road manners, but yet to do off road stuff.

    Had a fantastic blast through the puddles around Much Wenlock and let my wife have a drive (first time she has driven a Defender, and come to think of it, first time she has driven a manual gear box since 2004). She chuffing loved it - another Landy convert:
