I think it would either look very good or terrible it's going to be a close call

I'm really not a fan of the series 3 let alone a petrol engine even if it is a v8 lol

I suppose that's what I'm considering doing. Remove sills and arches, swap capping for galv and paint in a old fashioned colour. All these things are easily put back on or painted to put back to a stamdard defender look. My current paint has to go as the lacquer is peeling terribly. I know this...

Before anyone shoots me down and tells me to buy a series please bare with me and don't be to critical I basically own a old batterd j reg 200tdi 90 that I work around our farm. My dilemma is I'd much prefer and dream of owning a series 2 early 2a as I love the classic look with headlights in...

Hi guys now mud as I only use the truck to potter round my sheep. I've checked and there's no obstructions etc. I used the truck briefly today and it seemed fine but every so often the tempreture would go to maximum for a while then back to normal. It almost seems as though it changes depending...

Thanks glfor all this help guys. I think I'm going to replace thermostate just to be sure. I haven't had time to look at earth sleeving today but I'm thinking its electrical as when I pooped out earlier in it the gauge went right up but when on the throttle seemed to come back down. Also the...

Thanks fella ive been reading about it since your advice and it does look promisingly likely. Fingers crossed its that simple a fix

Hi ive read into the earth problems and am a little daunted as to where to start is it just a case of making up some fresh cables to link engine to chassis and then body? Any idea how I'd test water pump? How would I know if head gasket had gone?the header cap is fine displaying no cloudy fluid...

Hi yes correct fuse and they work fine on slow or intermittent but the fuse was blowing on fast setting. I've stripped and greased everything and now it works fine on slow intermittent but really struggle on fast :( think the motors kaput

Hi ive recently bought a 200tdi 90 (genuine def not disco) it keeps overheating. Temp gauge goes to red very very quickly but if I change gradient I.e down hill it seems to go back down. I haven't driven t far due to worrying about overheating. Both top and bottom hoses from the rad are warm/hot...

The problem is if i put the stalk to fast it blows the fuse so really needs sorting. I have disconnected the wiper rack from the motor and when I put the stalk to fast the motor struggles but doesn't blow fuse. This has eliminated the wiper rack being at fault so it must be the motor or stalk...

I've recently bought a j reg 200tdi there are 101 little problems to fix before I can mot it. The main one being that the wiper motor is blowing fuses. I have stripped, cleaned and greased everything to no avail. I resorted to removing wiper motor and running it without being attached to cable...

Hi guys I recently purchased my first landy a 2005defender 90 truck top. I have now converted to a hard top but have found that since disconnecting the wiring harness (above the drivers side door pillar) my radio and dash clock no longer work! I guess The wiring is in a circuit and i have broken...
