Hello, I live in Chatteris, and I'd like to start getting my 90 out where she belongs. Are you open to noobs? I work irregular hours, so I'm not always around, but I'm looking to get out with a group rather than solo. Thanks!

Thanks. I hadn't thought of that, but I do have the Haynes and the LR DIY manual. I'll check it out.

Late to the conversation, sorry about that. I have a C Reg 90 that a previous owner installed a blade fuse box. Top notch work, I've had no problems with it. Unfortunately, they didn't map it out either. Is there an easy way to do this? I've considered turning everything on, pulling fuses...

That's the info I was looking for. Thanks for your help!

Sure, it's not a critical part, but the holes on the bumper look like they are threaded, maybe 11-12mm. I was hoping someone knew the exact diameter, thread pitch (or whatever the technical term is) and length required. Carrying the bumper into the shop would be a problem...:)

Picked up a used rear step at a boot sale last weekend. Should be good to go once I clean the old grease and a little rust off it. Anyone know what size/type bolts are needed to attach it to the rear bumper? My local LR shop didn't have them and couldn't tell me the size. Thx!

There seems to be a million different vendors of Land Rover parts. Anyone have a tip on who to avoid or who's has the best service/prices? The one I've seen the most of is Paddocks, any opinions? Thanks.

I don't think this stuff will fit into a tool roll, maybe a trailer, but thanks for the tips. And, Scotsman, condoms are valuable survival gear in hundreds of situations. Not just those involving livestock. :D

That's pretty comprehensive. Thanks!

Hey all, Just picked up my 1st Land Rover, a1986 90 2.5 NA diesel, yesterday. Having fun sorting out random issues. So far nothing really crazy. Question of the day: I want to put together a basic tool roll to keep in her. Suggestions on contents? Tools and spares for "likely to fail"...

Thanks for the tip. I'm using Rockingham Land Rover near Corby if anyone knows them. They seem like good people. Honest even. However, "trust but verify" as Ronald Reagan used to say.

Maybe Alconbury? That's near hear and it has a bowling alley. They've closed several in this area over the years.

1st Pic, a little rust around the door edges and under the windshield, but no holes and the chassis seems solid. I'm taking it in to my local Land Rover service this weekend. Let's hope I did a fair job of inspecting her and made a good choice.

Alfresco, Thanks for the welcome, I'll have pictures up soon. Sean, It's true, I don't have one myself. The UK grants a special visa for US servicemen to come over here to steal British women. ;) S/F Brandon

Howdy, heya, howzit, merhaba, etc. I am an American Marine living in Cambs for the next few years and bought a 90 today. I'm looking forward to refurbishing my Landy and doing a little off-roading with the family. The Landy itself is an 86, with a 2.5 Diesel, chassis seems solid, a little...
