1997 LR90, 200TDI Disco engine Last spring alt was squeeling like a stuck pig. Took it to me mates garage and alternator was shot. Replaced with a new one (100Amp). Fast forward to January. Started squealing again, took it back and the alt was burnt out......Warranty replaced.....still squeals...

I've always paid the lower rate, that of a normal car, never had a problem......thats on the Old Severn Bridge on the M48

Thanks guys, i may have to have a rethink then but it does sound do-able for me :)

Thanks Paul, i have a local garage who will knock the old bushes out for the cost of a couple of pints so may take both of them off and get them to do that. As you say poly bushes are available that are an easier fit than pressing in the new rubber bushes, so may go for those as well.

I have a 1987 LR90, last December it had an advisory with 'Front Trailing arm has slight play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.2)' I've had a look on here and par for course (for me at least) i've failed to find a thread about replacing these! Does anyone know if one exists? Is this a job I can have a go at...

No worries, delete mine if you like BB ;)

Just bought some Boost Alloys. Only problem is the rear wheel carrier bolts aren't long enough for the new wheel and the threads are also wrong for my locking wheel nut. Is the thread a standard size and if so what is it please?

I'm just looking for something a bit more comfortable, higher at the back and a base that is removable.....So some kind of more modern defender seat i'm guessing?

I know this has been done to death, i've searched but not found what i'm looking for (I know someone will find something straight away) My front seats in the 90 have seen better days. Looking to change them. I would like something comfortable, with head restraints high enough for the missus to...

,,,to find some locking wheel nuts for Boost Alloys on my Defender? A couple of Ebay sites quote they don't fit Boosts, when I questioned one they said they think its something to do with the rim being narrower? I then found a set of 4 on devon 4x4, emailed them twice to confirm they are OK with...

Cheers Vilguy, i've posted the same question on other sites and some say yey but some say ney :(

I have a 1987 90 with what I think are RR classics and 30mm spacers. Does anyone know if June 2014 90 Sationwagon boost alloys 16" would fit? Drums back and discs front if that makes a difference?

Do you have a recovery plan if it all goes tits up? Can you just switch back to this platform?

Bike now sold...... Can a Mod close this please?

How do you lock/unlock the door?

I just replaced the handle on mine. Close the window and hold it in place with gaff tape. You can then take the metal panel off and the mechanism stays in place. I tried the drilling a hole job but i had to remove the rods as well so easier for me to just take the panel off. One thing i'm...

LOL, yes, there is that image attached to them....... ;)

Yep
