Again I’m familiar with the older models but on them the gearbox ones come up behind the engine. And the axle ones just go up into the bodywork. I have all mine extended to the top of the snorkel so has been a long time since factory. Just put it...

Yes still available. Pm me.

Is that Definitly a cable and not a breather pipe, the u-shaped top is what you get on the top of the breathers. If it’s a breather it will not be attached at one end (the hooked end) and the other end will be attached to a banjo fitting on the...

Do you need a steering wheel lock .... unfortunately my crystal ball is away being cleaned at the moment so I can't tell you. The best person to ask is yourself. Do you 'need' one or 'want' one ? Why do you feel you 'need' one ? You could if...

Throw up some pictures as it may help. I am not familiar with the new gearboxes. But the older ones had a couple of small earth cables for the difflock switch’s etc. and also has reverse switch wiring as well.

This was going to be my advice as a cheap easy fix to see if you need to go further and fit cones.

A quick fix is a couple of Jubilee clips around top spring coil and seat housing.

My 200tdi 90 has had umpteen sets of wheel bearings, always due to water ingress.

I have just converted my 110 hardtop To a station wagon after the birth of our first December 23, and we are expecting a second this December, so I have very recently been through the car seat challenges with a Land Rover. As stated above...

I think the issue you will face is there were factory station wagons registered as light utility. So the dvla just points to those and says you already have the correct category. I assume you are looking at ulez etc? I have just converted mine...

I ended up putting my switches in a MUD dash pod https://www.mudstuff.co.uk/collections/dashboard-solutions/products/mudpod Just a word of warning about the item in the picture, i got one of those to install in the back in a custom shelfing box...

I am looking at the glencoyne website (LINK) for fitting a 300tdi using an LT77box. and I am after a little more information on this line from anyone else who has done this: "You also need to grind a little metal off the outside of the housing...

Ex brakes on trucks are are psis poor. Jakes and retarders are on another level.

Would need some more details on this. Does it change with engine revs, or road speed, or is it always constant? does it happen if you put the transfer box, or gearbox in neutral? doe sit change when underload or engine braking. I would suggest it...

what areas specifically have you failed on? Some parts are more involved than others, but the usual places are relatively straight forward to change out, all the pieces are available, and if you are handy with the spanners you could do a lot of...

From what I have picked up on the forum chatter their quality control has improved. But still not sure I will be ordering form them when the time comes. I need a chassis and bulkhead for the station wagon, but that will probably come from...

I have just ordered another one Mate But Thanks .

Could just post whats left of the disco in an envelope.

I think applying something regularly is the key to the preserving underneath.

Just come across your thread and makes for interesting reading as at some point I plan on rebuilding the 200tdi that had the engine fire. Also as a shameless plug given your current crank issues I have a 200tdi crank for sale that has been...

Mud do a replacement, but it is probably available from other places as well: LINK Depends on the exact wiring for your model but at '86 I would expect it to be permanent live. On later models it was changed to be ignition only.

There should be a little Domed plastic cover that hides them all and aches to the back of the centre pane using the same screws. Even with everything listed above there is likly To still be some spare connections. There as in mine.

You can replace them, but they are part of the instrument so you have to carefully uncrimp the front bezel, remove the bezel being careful the glass doesn't fall and break, then remove the instrument itself so you are just left with the metal...

I have a couple of similar repairs to undertake on my replacement station wagon tub. My plan was to use tigerseal (or sikaflex, i am not brand loyal!) to glue the repair plate in place along with some rivets. I am not trying to achieve a perfect...

Everything that does not get hot, or move. But make sure you do the inside of the chassis box sections as well, that is even more important than the outside.

I know you have painted the outside of the chassis but I would still cover the external with a chassis wax as well. I like dinitrol personally as it actually "dries" rather than remaining wet like waxoil.

Keep the rectangular fog lights, looks better on an older defender in my opinion. I got my RDX ones from bolt on bits on ebay. They definitely do the clear lenses (I am also not a fan of them, keep it original looking) so there may well be...

Other than indicators all the others are just direct replacement plug and play. I fitted RDX LED side, rear and fog lights to mine during the rebuild. I left the indicators as standard due to the endless threads of people fitting LEDS and them...

I looked into this when I was trying to persuade the wife she wanted one but she was adamant they were too big. A 90 has the same footprint (length and width) as a golf. And no one thinks a golf is a large car! In a 90 you can carry passengers...

Replace the stock windscreen washer with these: LINK Best mod I have done on mine hands down!
