Indeed, if its the alternator then I have no idea what to do other than take it to someone who does. I'll check the other earthing points this week (if I can find them), and if they seem to be ok then conclude its the alternator and take it to someone in the know. Thanks again for the...

Thanks for the replies fellas. I don't think I've got any extra kit on that would drain it (I've definitely not added any since before the problem started). I've checked the battery earths and they seem fine (although two washers were cracked). I put a bit of vas on to be sure but I'm...

My 90 kept being very hesitant to start, and sometimes not starting at all (more recently). It was totally inconsistent; not after being stood for ages, and not after long runs-it could be either. I had the battery charge checked and found it was very low. I inspected the terminals for...

I need to mount my spare wheel on a 90 truck cab. After considering the usual places (bonnet, bulkhead, swingaway), I've decided that: a) bonnet is too impractical, b) swingaway is too expensive, so c) it's probably going to be bulkhead. Does anyone know where I can get me hands on the...

Yes sorry I meant the cable, I didn't plan to spread oil over the whole thing! I'm pretty sure its galvanised (Britpart DB1200i), but one of my Landy owning mates commented the other day on how it would need some oil on it. Maybe he just wanted to say something manly about winches. I'll ask him.

I am going to give my winch an oiling this weekend, can anyone recommmend what the best product to do this with it? Thanks

Thanks for being such a willing example ;)

Haynes on order from Amazon. Price paid; £12.74. Price in local vehicle superstores; £19.99. Money saved £7.25. Cashback! Thanks for all the tips as well, its good to see sound advice offered when so many people on here seem to receive (not very) witty one-liners to their enquiries attempting...

I've bought a 1986 truck cab in excellent condition, but I'm a complete novice in the world of Land Rovers. I'd like some tips on the kind of routine maintenance that is required to keep my vehicle in its current good state. What are the kind of jobs which should be done weekly/monthly/less...

Thanks for the replies, very helpful. I'm running 235/85/16 at the moment, looking to get a replacement for the spare. As changing to Insas would mean buying four new tyres, I'll probably just get another one similar to the ones on at the moment.

Well, I was driving my 90 this morning, when it all went a bit pear-shape. I got out and was confronted with my nearside front tyre in bits. The wall had come away from the tread in several places, and it was completely deflated (obviously). I've only relatively recently bought the...

I think I've negotiated the attachment tool and there's some photos on here.

Only just seen these replies, thanks a lot guys, very useful info here.

I've recently bought a 90 truck cab, and am very very happy with it. I have some very smart black ZU alloys, but want to make sure I don't wake up to my Landy on bricks. Does anyone know if standard land rover locking wheel nuts will fit? I've tried to contact the manufacturer but to no...
