    RAF Defender 90 with leak

    Says on the tin it's compatible with all mineral and synthetic single and multigrade oils. OK, next question is what oil do I use to top up the gearbox, the clear red smelly stuff that is the main drip, and where does it go in?!!!!!!!

    RAF Defender 90 with leak

    Wynn's engine stop leak. Been told to bung some in the oil and that'll plug up any minor leaks. OK for engine oil, but what about gearbox red oil? Any thoughts guys?

    RAF Defender 90 with leak

    Hi guys, looking for some advice. I've got a 91 ex-RAF defender 90, 2.5 diesel. She runs fantastic but I've got 2 very slight oil leaks underneath that are driving the wife mad with the marks on the blocking. I know I know, all Landies leak. The first one is a clear red oil, and the second is...

    Defender 90 Canvas Tilt Cord/Lace

    Hi guys. I've got an ex-RAF 90 rag top and I'm in the process of giving it a fresh lick of paint and generally doing it up. The tilt is in good condition but the rope laces running along the sides and down at the rear are getting a bit frayed. Been searching online to no avail for anywhere that...

    Temp gauge up and down

    Been quite amusing checking up on my thread, cheers for all the input guys. Flushed the rad out and the old coolant didn't look too bad at all. Put fresh coolant in, connected it back up, and guess what, first drive out and after 5 mins of sitting bang on the middle the needle pinged up to the...

    Newbie!!!

    Cheers guys. Spent a happy sunny afternoon yesterday changing the oil and filter. Stuck some of that diesel cleaning stuff in first to flush it out. Also changed the air filter. Fuel is next on list along with coolant. About to order some satin olive drab to give it a fresh coat of paint, any tips?

    Temp gauge up and down

    It's a 2.5 litre nat aspirated. Gonna try taking stat out and cleaning plus flushing old coolant out and putting new stuff in. May have been lying in storage for up to 10 years so would guess would need doing. Cheers gents for replies.

    Temp gauge up and down

    Hi there. Recently got an ex RAF 90 rag top. Love it. Just noticed the temp gauge shoots right up to the top when driving about town but then whilst driving it'll drop down to normal position but then fluctuate back up. Sometimes it just sits steady where it should be I know we have had this...

    Newbie!!!

    Hi there, just bought my first Landy! An ex-RAF 90 soft top. It's on a 91 plate. Have sent off e-mails to the RAF/Royal Logisitic Corp to try and find out it's history. It seems to be a cracker. Having said that it developed a leak out the diesel tank so just spent the last 2 days forcing the...

    90 Fuel tank change

    Found this thread after looking for some inspiration whilst trying to remove the old rusted tank from my 90 and fit the new one in. With hindsight (and why the Haynes manual doesn't tell you to do this I don't know) the main thing I would say is save yourself a load of scrapped knuckles...
