    90 bulkhead removal (the front one)

    What are they retailing for nowadays? I always thought the reg. of the vehicle went off the vin number stamped on the chassis...so how do people get around this when they purchase replacement chassis'? I'd like to get my own chassis acid dipped and galv'd if anything, its very tidy at the...

    90 bulkhead removal (the front one)

    So after reading through what needs taking apart a couple of times, its definitely something im capable of, and hope to start the big stripdown after the weekend :) Upon refitting the bulkhead, going to fit sound deadening. See if I cant dull out the diesel engine a little bit. As far as the...

    Odd winch noise?

    Continuous while the winch is operating. Got the day off work today so a stripdown could be in order

    90 bulkhead removal (the front one)

    Its at the point where myself and the passenger get wet feet during the rain, not ideal. It'll need a clutch sometime this year, will the bulkhead being out give decent access to the bellhousing? Tottot, i read sonewhere on here that galv doesn't take unless the chassis is all bare clean metal...

    Odd winch noise?

    Has 2 brand new odyssey (spelling?) Dry cell batteries, a master switch on the dash and an in/out rocker switch in there as well as the remote. Now you say it, it is more of a clack but its fairly quiet. Can hear it with the window open and engine running, just about.

    90 bulkhead removal (the front one)

    Done a couple of searches on this, only seem to find threads on removing the bulkhead behind the seats... Basically how much of a job is it? Want to pull it out to weld up some rot, then strip back and give it a nice few coats of paint. Im a dab hand with a set of spanners But I need to know...

    Odd winch noise?

    Been using the 90 today winching logs out of a dingle...and my winch seems to be making lots of noises it didn't before. Haven't done any serious winching with it since owning either. Its a Warn 9.5xp, with 100ft of plasma rope on. When winching in or out, at any load it makes a clicking...

    Radio antenna for 1991?

    Im having the same problem. Only picks up radio reception on the top of a big hill! Im looking to try and fit a cb aerial but without the big spring on the bottom. Having a hard time finding one though

    Want my landy level - not nosediving

    I switched the front and rears earlier this week. the front now sits up a lot more than before, and the rear is sitting down just a touch. Popped over to the neighbouring farm to grab some measurements from their standard defender, Im toying with getting a brand new standard suspension kit...

    Defender middle seats x2

    Do they include runners/rails/whatever they are that bolt to the landy? I'll take the lesser ripped one if you'll post :)

    fixing dents and home made roof lining!

    Would it not be a good idea to do a similar thing to this on the rear of the pick up cab (under the back windows and behind the seats) and under the seats, down to the footwells and on the tunnel? I cant ever see my landy going in that depth of water/mud and think it would be a good addition...

    Want my landy level - not nosediving

    I have a 90 200tdi, and its got a horrible nosedive situation going on with the suspension. The springs are blue, the rears are HD and possibly +2", the fronts don't seem to be HD and the front sits a lot lower that the rear. I have a D44 winch bumper, warn 9.5xp and steering guard in the...

    Do you have General grabber MT's? I didn't rate mine a great deal at Hadley when I went. Although it was bloody wet and everyone seemed to be struggling
