Thank you, I rigged up a makeshift boost gauge on my last defender with odds and sods from work, so I'll be able to do that once I get the new downpipe fitted. Just out of interest how powerful do you think my engine should be? I'm defiantly not looking for speed, after all it's a defender...

Hi guys, I know I'm not a massive poster on the forum but you guys have got me out of a few sticky situations with fault finding multiple temporary breakdowns over the last few years! Oh and also helping find my old 90 when it was stolen - twice! So, I've now got my dream defender, I've...

I need to measure mine up and see if it would fit. Mines a 90 you see. Looks great and a bargain at less than 50 smackers.

Looks great that mate. Which model of tent is that? I'm looking g to buy one to fit ontop of my rack like yours! Looks brilliant and is a good alternative to spending a small fortune.

This is next on my tinkering list. I did the same to my front bumper last weekend and what a difference. As you say subtle but makes all the difference. Yesterday I made up a wooden seat box for my rear tub on top of the wheels arches. So I can finally hide some of my crap!

Great news! Hope it just needs a wash.

Hi guys. Was just wondering (and hopefully this is the right thread to wonder in) whether anyone has put up any racks or storage units in the back of their defender? I am looking to make some racks or some sort of straps to hold fly fishing gear. All I'm really after is a nice looking DIY set...

This happened to me, I've just bought some new UJ's for the rear prop as there was lots of play in one of them, so decided to replace both as I'll have it off anyway. I'll report back after next weekend with the difference. I wasn't aware I was to grease the prop shafts! I'll do it religiously...

Sounds brilliant, that would even give me an excuse to buy the spotlights I've been lusting after!

Thanks Westwood will check it out just now.

Thanks DavidSally. I understand it's a touchy subject! So apologies for asking. Will keep an eye out and register my interest for a day out, if some one would be kind enough to let me tag along. Weekdays are pretty much impossible for me due to work commitments. Evenings however are perfect, as...

Just read through the thread, seriously jealous. Sounds like a great day out. If I had read this before I would have tried to tag along. I've recently bought my 90 (well six months ago) and doing a daily commute from Sheffield to Buxton getting to know some lanes would be great for a bit of...

I had the same problem and it was bugging me for ages. I thought it was some insa turbo tyres I'd put on however thinking back the problem started a few days before that. I started with what has been suggested, testing all air pipes on air intake and turbo side. Also the pipes for the...

No problem - I understand. You don't know who goes on these forums! I'd rather be too cautious myself. If in the future you would like to share with me, I would be very grateful. Aye, it looks like they just smashed the old lock with a hammer - straight off. Are the pedal lock boxes...

Thanks for the replies. Thankfully this time the police found it and I managed to get it back last night. Allbeit a bit wrecked inside (steering wheel, steering trim, dash a bit ripped apart, driver door a bit smashed in). At least it's back though. I've taken it to a secure garage untill I...

With fristration, anger, dissapointment and hope I regret to inform you guys of another theft. My Grey defender 90 registration L145 BEL was stolen last night (03/04/14) from right outside our house in the S6 Wisewood area of Sheffield. This must have happened between half ten in the evening...

Cheers for the help and the pictures. I've had a play around today. The wiring to the motor is as it should be. Also the relay is brand new and working as it should. The wiring to the wiper stalk is also as it should be. Still no intermittent wipers though :S As far as I'm aware the...

Cheers mate, the park sensor.... Is this the little connector like thing that is on the side of the wiper motor housing?

After a trawl around, and many evening spent head scratching and pulling the dash out (and my hair) I found this thread. Thought I would tag on here to save starting a new one. If that's wrong just let me know and I'll start a new one. Problem is my intermittent and parking of my windscreen...

Sorry to hear about another thieving scum bag. On the bright side mine was stolen from just down the road from you (S6) and I got it back two days later. It was found in a retail car park (rather worse for wear) near Ecclesfield. So far since owning mine for around 6 months, it's disappeared...
