    Bull Bars - MoD Surplus?

    I don't know sorry, don't like them either. Does the towing pin work on that ? If it dose how thick is the bumper 5 or 6 mm ?

    110 tipper conversion

    Trailing arm bushes is my guess unless your sure they are all OK . When they get worn the back axel starts to help steer the landy and the more weight on that axel the more pronounced it becomes. I had this with mine a few years ago, its horrible feeling.

    My land rover 90

    Looks good, very tidy job in the back. When its freezing out mine suffers from condensation dripping from the roof (on the inside), would that using that stuff stop it happening ?

    Thinking of buying a land rover 90 need advice

    Add £1000 to your buying limit will make a huge difference, Nobody sells a defender for less than 2000 unless its beyond repair or he is clueless(that's rare) but it happens. :tea:

    Driven off with Hand brake slightly on?!

    It won't help any but it won't break anything either. I drove for 7 miles with it on pulling 3.5 ton, I never noticed because of the extra weight behind me (I thought the pull was because of the trailer) I opened the window to let some air in while on the way and got the smell of burning...

    Best ever fuel consumption

    30 mpg over 400 miles in one trip, in a 110 td5 hard top. Usually its 28 or 27 mpg.

    clutch pedal will not go down enough

    Its worth having a look at the box under the master cylinder where the pedal lever is connected too. It might need a little adjustment up or down , and it wont cost anything. :cool:

    r 380 box

    I know where there is one but I am not selling . Gearbox r380 or not is not cheap, get your old one reconditioned at ashcrofts or buy a secondhand one off them. If you have lots of cash buy a new box from landrover. Any of the above will get you back on the road no question. Ebay ones could be...

    320 miles on a full tank!? 1999 Deisel TD5 defender. Thats not good.

    That's about what I get too (99 td5 110) from a full tank, 75 liters. I never let her get below 1/4 tank though its easy to get a td5 air locked. Sorry I just added that up again and I get more like 450 miles from a full tank, so yeah yours is a bit heavy juice. What size tank has a 90 got...

    Removing (or not!) the middle seat for cubby box installation

    I got mine out after the same trouble a few years ago. I worked from under the landy (I have no ramps either) and used a vise grips on the end of the bolt , to stop the whole lot twisting and an open ended spanner on the nut. It only took 10 minutes then after spending half the day working and...

    td5 overheating

    I agree ^^, the TD5 engine is hard to over heat. When it gets up to normal temp take the cap off the header tank ( with a towel and keep your head well back) it should just hiss as the presure escapes but if the coolent shoots 3 or 4 feet in the air. Im afraid its going to cost ya.
