Hi, I need to pick up some freestyle alloy wheels this week and i figure i can get three wheels in the back of my 90 but not the fourth without putting my roofrack on etc. Will a freestyle alloy wheel bolt onto my rear door spare wheel carrier? It's a standard defender carrier with a kind of...

Going by a similar question in LRO a few months back i now set mine at 28psi front and 35 rear. 50 psi is pushing it a bit, you will get excellent fuel economy and probably the lightest steering ever but the vehicle handling characteristics are going to be seriously compromised.

Well if you don't want it i know a man who will have it for that money!

The reason i asked about a diff is that like clivees above suspects, you could be experiencing wind up in transmission. I had a series once and the front diff blew, fitted another not realising that the previous one was from a rover p4 or something like that and was quite rare. After using 4wd...

Have you had a new diff fitted recently?

What is meant by Light 4x4 Utility on the V5 for my defender 90? Does it mean 'pick up'? It used to be a pick up but i put a roof on it with windows and seats in the back. Should my V5 be changed now to something other than 'light utility'? No seat numbers are specified on my V5, just blank. ?

I had to change my barrels as i found after buying my 90 that there were no door keys! Can't remember in detail but i managed to remove the barrels with no keys!

My 90 is exactly the same! I put bigger tyres on and noticed they stick out more on the one side! Can't find anything wrong or see anything that should suggest why it's like it!

Ebay, local papers, auto trader, but the best bet is word of mouth. If your in a local landrover club evryone knows all the landies within a 50 mile radius and someone always knows of someone who is selling!

Well last year i was looking for my 5th landy and i looked at a 200tdi truck cab J reg for £2500, it needed plenty doing to it to tidy it up so i walked away. A week or so later came up trumps buying a 94 M 300tdi 90 for £3k, new tyres, new clutch, just serviced etc 98000 genuine miles on the...

Well it's being sold by someone heavily into landies which is a really good thing. I like it. I would be a bit sceptical as to it 'popping out of gear' suggesting a new box might be in order, not too much of a prob as you could get a cheap second hand one. Wouldn't be ideal though if you would...

Okay, don't expect any technical offroading! they will mainly be pleasant drives!

Well in the tin on the top of the hill with all the message books and everything are a few pics of a peugeot 205 doing the lane, with a homemade snorkle on it !! He would have needed it too before they drained all the water troughs that you needed to pass through up until a couple of years ago.

I had it too.

Sent you a pm Rich21disco

Yes had the same problem on my old disco 1 on the passenger side alpine window, and i know of others!

Yes they are, but accessing areas around the top of the gearbox, bellhousing, fuel tank etc can all be done from removing seat panels, flooe etc in a defender, whereas the disco is more like a car with plenty of carpet and dash, plastic etc. You can remove bodywork for access on defenders...

I do have a map that was marked up with a days worth of lanes around solihull, stratford, redditch area. That was 12 years ago, i know at least one was closed before i moved away and the others would need checking. Your best bet would be to join Midland Offroad Club (MOC) and see if the...

You can do the 'wayfarer', about 10-15 mins drive south of Corwen. Nice long lane. As you head towards Oswestry there are plenty to choose, most are marked byways if you buy a OS map for the area.
