I should have left a gap between 'every' and 'one' there perhaps! 😁

All the rear lights on the landrover are LEDs Don’t get smoked ones. Just get standard type.

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...

The dowel issue is when you remove the cylinder head (he only removed the rocker cover) and Is also a subject of debate as to if to change so be cautious. You need to search for a Land Rover manual online loads of free 1s out there for download...

I fitted Rdx kit as well. Changed the side repeater to TD5 style( they do a fitting adapter) Needed the Rdx dash tell tale light for the system to work Also change the rear fog & reverse light to the normal rectangle style from britpart. These...

When she finds out how much you’re spending on it… 😬

Don’t dig a pit… to easy for the mrs to make you disappear

Dig a pit - or install a Four post lift 😱

I've reluctantly started to give Leylandi series 3, some protection today. Last weekend I used a wire brush on a drill and white spirit to remove old waxoyl then jetwashed. I used Jenolite rust converter and 2 coats of Buzzweld chassis in one...

The first thing I did was take the little steering wheel off and put a proper one on, I then fitted the steering wheel lock and pedal lock. The next thing I did was take it for a drive I then ordered a fuel pressure regulator repair kit as it was...

Check voltage at horn end. If that does not work check the fuses. Check both sides of the fuse as to check all good And what landrover do you have? What makes you think it’s the switch?

No relay on the horn. Check connections on the horn as the vibrate & break off. Check voltage at horn & work to the switch

Buy these. That’s for a 90 mind and not sure if yours is a 110 or other. Edit…just seen your post sayings it’s a 90 😏

Good luck with the sale. At least you still have 1 project on the go & people can see the motors are looked after

From what I remember, the tools for security bolts are easily available and therefore in my opinion no better than the originals. The original hinges on mine are Torx type, I filled them with epoxy resin putty, If I ever need to take them off it...

Secure that bonnet as well.. Etch widows,headlights & any panel that will be easily removed. May sound overkill but if they see them marked will hinder selling parts Enjoy the motor,don’t forget to wave to other landrovers

Sew a deeper lining into your pockets and cancel all weekend events for the foreseeable future! :p Full and comprehensive service, replacing all consumables. Give yourself peace of mind and a decent datum to start with. Enjoy.

Change the title to sold … No threads get removed

Tube out rigger might have a few years left. Chassis, if that is the worst then with time, effort, money you could probably slow the process. Fuel tank cradle is bolt on so not so important. Realistically all of our chassis are rusting away...

Sold...please remove mods

You could get in touch with the military vehicle trust. They're officially recognised by the DVLA as vehicle inspectors and can get you the registration. Costs about £200 for non members.

😂 the lengths we go to. I managed to get a stubby on my defender one. My disco one wouldn’t allow it though!! I just slit it and wack round with a chisel - was much easier! Powerflex are good - bought them for my project and will be installing...

So I haven't kept this thread up to date, but I did remember my password and I do still have the D2, not my daily anymore as I have a work van and new family car.

When the bearing fails water drips out of it.

I take it you have "no crank" aswell? You did replace the big earth strap, there is usually 1 from Tbox to chassis. J

When you count 10 motors in the group..utter madness. I go with people who I know & any bad stuff I leave or they do.

I’ve been green laning since I got my first Landy in the early 90’s. I started with some friends who were members of a local off road club which was mostly into trials. We went in groups of two or three and didn’t tear up the lanes or drive off...

I would be amazed if you cpuld get any air brake components small enough to fit.

Ah thats kind of you! I think I’ve found my mojo again now. I’m planning on having a bloody good crack at it when I’m on half term last week of May, that should give me time to get stuff done. Been really busy with other commitments (3 other...

Struts depot on the net has a good section. The rear tail gate is the same design if it’s mesh or solid. Remove mesh and jut add flat Ali in its place. All fixings are the same.
