Fitted Red Polybush set to my 110" 6 -7 years ago, still as good as the day they where fitted. Well worth the money. For a Rangie might go for softer set. They only did red when I changed mine, did it that long ago. If you do change the bushes, do one front radius arm at a time. Took both of on...

If you have to do an emergency stop in a vehicle with ABS, push the clutch down with the brake. Non ABS vehicles you leave the clutch in to use the engine to help stop the wheels from locking, pushing clutch just before you stall. On ABS vehicles the wheels won't lock. If the clutch is still...

Take the rope off the drum. Cut 5m off the end without the hook.

Hi, Yes you can see it in the Haynes manual, or ask any Land Rover owner you see in the supermarket car park if you can have a look at there car.

Hi. Sorry to hear about your problems, will try and help. 1) Check the temperature sender unit is working. Find the sender unit on top of engine. It will have 1 wire attached. Discontec wire and insulate, it is live with ignition on. Get a multi meter that reads resistance (ohms), attach one...

Hi, Defenders are good for learning about vehicles, it is all basic mechanics. You will need a good socket set that goes up large sizes, 27 - 28mm ( 1 inch + ) at least. There are some big nuts on Defenders. Get a good set of axle stands with a large base, 2 tonnes rocking about in the air...

Hi, it depends on how much you want to spend? What do you want to add the the vehicle? Extra lights, winch etc.

Just a thought but, have you checked that the voltage stabiliser for the dashboard gauges is still connected the the fuel gauge. If it has failed or come off the gauge will read the output of the alternater as it changes i.e, the faster the alternater turns the more volts produced, the higher...

Try looking inside the vehicle at the back on top of the drivers side wheel arch/ seat base, under the small rear window. There should be an angled plate fixed to the rear panel. Remove the panel the connector should be in there.

There should be no rotational play in the sliding joint.

Hi, yes your 90 is permanent 4WD, all 90, 110 and Defender models are permanent 4WD. It should say so somewhere in the owners handbook. You only have 2 gear levers instead of the 3 you had in a series vehicle. The short stubby lever controls the HIGH and LOW range selection AND the DIFF LOCK for...

I have not got air suspension on my vehicle , but I the place I work has an H.G.V workshop on site. I have seen them change the air spring on a truck in 20 minutes from start to finish. Air springs are alot easier to change than coil springs. If you lift the vehicle up and support it on stands...

I have used Langdale this year, a weekend in Febuary! Excellent site lots of tracks to drive. They deserve our support. I have signed the petition, also the Chairman of the my local Landrover club the Aylesbury Land Rover Fanatics has sent a letter on the clubs behalf.

A quick thought on your engine swap. I think 300 Tdi's where mated to the R380 gearbox, 200 Tdi's mated to a version of the LT77 gearbox. Don't think the bellhousings can be swapped from one 'box to the other. You may need an adapter of some sort. Worth checking before commiting to swapping engines.
