Hi I've been looking at the price of Dynamat on the various sites and wondered if the is an effective cheaper alternative? I want to do the following areas in my 1986 Ninety: rear floor and wheel arches, the footwells, under seats, possibly under bonnet and ultimately the roof before I fit a...

Defender 90, 1986 200TDi Hi all Thought I'd spend the evening fitting new Britpart seat covers to my Defender 90 seats. Watched the video and got stuck in, only to quickly realise that the guy in the video has not got the same seats as I have! First of all he has one bolt at each corner...

Hi On startup, there is a lot of squeaking coming from the belt area. I can't tell if it's belts slipping. Is there a way of testing this. I'm also worried that it could be a timing belt about to fail? On startup the last couple of times, there has been a fairly dramatic noise that sounds...

More head scratching going on with my Land Rover Defender 90, 1986 200TDi (Discovery engine). So I completed some work in the dash, getting the instrument illuminators to work correctly on the proper switch rather than being hardwired to the ignition and fitted some nice LEDs. I also had a go...

Hi Defender 90, 1986. Just fitted a new instrument panel and put on the shroud around the steering column Is there a best order to put the screws in underneath the shroud. When I put the shroud together it is very tight against the dash and rubs on the steering wheel. Also, the instrument...

Hi Just doing some work on the dash on my Defender 90 - 1986 - instrument panel, tidying up etc. There's an outcrop of wiring emerging from the centre of the dash (pic attached) - hole cut through at the back. Some of it probably for the radio which has been taken out. Any thoughts on the...

Hi What's the best, most available, power steering fluid to use on a 1987 Defender - 200Tdi Discovery conversion? Thanks

Hi All Can anyone tell me whether it's possible / how to remove the individual instruments (speedo etc) from the instrument panel. I want to put the instruments in a new panel as the original one was mashed by PO. Thanks

Hi all Just taken ownership of a Defender 90 200TDI - 1987. It looks as if it may have a non-Landrover sunroof fitted (was a sunroof ever even factory fitted into the early Defenders?).....and I've discovered it leaks like a bar steward. The latch (which is a clamp type, not a wheel) is also...

I'm new to the forum so hello everyone. Looking to buy a Defender 90 - pre-98 300 TDI. Currently looking at a Defender 90 and it seems quite tidy underneath. On the body, apart from some micro-blistering (which I've seen before when I had an old VW camper and I've read is a result of poor...
