    sun roof seal help.....

    I've got to do the same thing at some point as just bought me 90 and it leaks into the roof lining. The only thing I can think is what sealant/glue are you using? Maybe a strong sealant might help it to stick in place. But I haven't tried so just a guess, let us know how it gets on.

    what is this cream stuff under the oil cap?

I do only usually travel short distances but I don't know what counts as a small or large amount of this stuff to count as condensation...

    Looking for a 90 2.5 petrol

    I have recently got a 2.5 and I am sure that when I have got it fully working and the way I want it I will be happy. But if I could go back I would have got a diesel.

    Hello again! I have since had the mix and idle adjusted on the carb and when it is warmed up it seems to idle nicely. However it seemed fine for about 30 miles and it then started stalling again. It does this by first jolting then the accelerator only responds intermitently and it slowly...

    Help! Carb issues on Defender 90 2.5 petrol 1991

    Thanks for the help, been lazy and got it booked in. Because I have only ever had this I can't compare it to a diesel. I have found that when it is working it drives well and fun to drive. However due to the problems (I hope) it is only getting around 13mpg. It is supposed to get between 16...
