    Painting Behind The Rear Crossmember?

    When he bought it it had been freshly undersealed and the rear cross member painted and looked good but hasn't held up well to the UV at all. Does the crossmember actually flex enough to cause hammerite to crack? Really? i could understand it would chip easilly underneath, but crack? Surley...

    Painting Behind The Rear Crossmember?

    My Father bought a MY97 90" 300TDi County about 2 years ago. Since then it's had a full service, timing belt and a clutch but it's only done about 1500miles and generally neglected and looking sorry for itself. However, it's a solid car, runs very well and even passed an MOT with no advisories...

    Low Emission Zone (LEZ) - Exemption Rejected....PLEASE HELP!

    You can indeed bifuel a diesel on LPG. I was planning in getting my previous Mondeo done for a bit of extra go and less smoke. If you get it signed off the car will be a bifuel car and not a diesel.

    Reverse light isn't working on our '97 Defender 90 300TDi. I suspect it's the reverse light switch. How easy are they to change on these? Sam.

    EGR Blanking

    What's the best way to remove the EGR system on these? The car itself is a Defender 90 300TDi of '97 era. I was considering going the whole hog and removing the control modules and all the wiring. How easy is it? It would be nice to remove all traces of it altogether. At bare minimum I'd...

    Defender County 300TDi

    I am very suprised with how clean it is. The numberplate is only temporary. The auction company did it so it could be driven home. We will get a new one made up in due course. However we have cut it so the rear hatch can be opened. My Father picked it up from Yorkshire and it drove the 280miles...
