Figure I'm gonna have to jump on this rust problem now(ish) - is there a guide anywhere with a step by step "how to weld bulkhead repair panels into place, and finish it all off nicely"?? I've never welded before, so I'd like to see what I should be doing quite exactly before I make a complete...

So whatever I do I'm better off jacking up the axle rather than a point on the chassis somewhere? Makes sense. What is the minimum height the jack will have to be extendable too to get the wheel up?

I didn't get a jack with the car, and the chances of sods law coming into play increase the longer I go without. What one would you suggest? I've no interest in a high lift thingy, nor a trolly one - it has to be in the car at all times (so hopefully fitting behing the front seats). It will...

thaking you good sir

I'm no doubt being entirely stupid here, but how the hell do you get into the headlights to change a bulb? If anyone could give me a quick step by step it would be great! cheers

I'd be looking for one already converted anyway, I'd never pay to have it done, regardless of the eventual savings (whihc would come decades down the road with the distances I drive). How are the autos? Any use? And what's the gearing like? 70 in a tdi creates a fairly heroic noise... On a...

certainly i do! I thought lpg was half the price of petrol? and did only slightly worse mpg?

I've had the 1990 200tdi defender a few months now, and I completely love it! As a car it's completely terrible, brilliantly slow, and really ****ing uncomfortable and noisy, and I need another, just for fun! I quite fancy a v8, just for the noise really. I figure if i can find one with LPG it...

My apologise if this is covered often, but I can't find anything obvious after a search. I've just had a good grands worth of work done to the old heap, and now that it's pretty solidish, rusted bulkhead aside, I fancy making it look a bit tougher. It currently sits on white steel wheels...

Yeah, I'd really appreciate some pics as well, I've been thinking about this for months and aint got no-where

Me and my brother have a few days off this coming week, and we're looking at sorting out the frankly awful sound system in the defender. I've ripped apart an old sub - I reckon I can get a 10¨ between the seats without loosing too much flexibility - but the actual speakers are a problem...

Hello from Scotland, I bought a 1991 defender 200tdi a couple of months back, and thought I'd learn a bit about them through you fine people! I'm pretty pleased with it so far, it needs a fair bit of work done though. Engine's done 150 thousand miles or so, still seems pretty sweet to me. I'm...
