Hi guys, the time has come to sell my beloved 90 Spec as follows:- 12 months MOT (March 2014) Tax Runs out at the end of March 135k miles (covered less than 1k in last 12 months) Solid Chassis 5 x 265/75 Insa Turbo Special Tracks Snorkel HD Springs and Munroe Shocks Front Winch (broken but...

I missed this one as my 90 wouldn't start!! Is it open every weekend? Or on certain dates? Are the dates listed anywhere?

I'm sure they are, but my Defender has them!! It has a quick connector and winch at the front, with an isolator for the winch and one for the entire circuit built in there! All of this was fitted by the previous owner...

Hi all I have a knackered battery (I think). I have been looked at some beefy one's with 780 CCA, I have a 1991 90, with a Defender 200TDi. I'm looking at the Bosch S5 or S4 battery (780 or 680 CCA's), as an upgrade to the current one, which has 610 CCA's. Euro car parts have 15% off their...

I know quite a few lanes, which start around Atherstone (J2, M69), does a loop, then arrives back there. I also go out with a bunch of guys who know lanes around lutterworth, M1 J20. PM me you name and contact number and I will be in touch next time I have a run out.

I am! The 205's came on the truck. Previous owner did a lot of road work. I'm going 235/85 or 265/75. Anyway, any experience of the tyres mentioned?

Hi all I am looking for a set of decent sized mud tyres for my Defender, I need to go bigger than my current one's. One placed has offered me Maxxis Buckshot 754 tyres. I believe these are new (not retreads) and the pattern looks quite aggresive. Just wondered if anyone had any experience...

Hi all I'm at a loose end the weekend after next, and have never tried Hollymooreside before. Anybody know when it's open? Or how I find any info on the place? Google shows not a lot. :D

Hi, thanks for the answer. To wire up what I need, is it a case of just wiring up the right colours? I don't know which colours are for which components! Anyway, I did put some pictures in my post, copy/ pasted below, thanks in advance for any help...

Hi guys Sorry for the thread hi-jack, but any answer may help you. I have a 1991 D90, and it doesn't have a stereo. The standard connector in the 'fender does not fit into either of my "spare" stereo's I have in the garage. Is it some "old" connector that does not fit modern stereos? Any idea...

Landy's leak in 2 places mate. Water in and oil out! Welcome to ownership

Hi Does anyone know of any Pay'nPlay sites open on Monday? I fancy taking my recently aquired 90 out to play for the first time. I'm in Leicester, so midlands/ south yorks would be great. Holymoorside, Yarwell, Sibbertoft. Any of those open? Cheers :D

Thanks for this, very usefull! Mine is a "J" plated vehicle, but the same applies, still pre-LA. I get it now. Better get me a guide on servicing drum brakes, never touched them before. :D

Hi all I have 91 Defender 90. It's VIN number is "SALL.....". Paddocks suggests my vehicle is of the "from LA" variety, which should be disc brakes on the rear. However, it has drum brakes. Whats going on? I presume someone must have swapped it for an older one at some point? Any advice or...

Land cruiser will be far more reliable, but servicing/ parts will be more expensive. We all love LR products, but they do require, lets say, more "tlc" than the jap vehiicles. that said, they are a little better off road (if you want full on off road ability, it has to be LR IMO) and have bags...
