Drivers side electric window has slowly been giving up on me, took the door card off llast week for a look - I was still getting +/-12v on the connector when operating the switch so assumed the motor on the regulator, which had a fair bit of rust on it, had given up. Ordered a new regulator...

Hi All, I'm looking at putting a sleeping platform in my 90, at bulkhead level extending over the passenger seat. At the moment I've got some Audi S line sport seats thanks to a previous owner, and whilst they are comfy, they don't fold flat. I know original seats will fold relatively flat...

To come back to this a month or two later, whilst the problem sorted itself out, I never managed to nail down exactly the problem! A couple of further cleans of the MAP and MAF, plus the addition of Millers treatment each time I fill up are all I've changed - perhaps I'll put it down to a...

Hi all, thanks for the responses. The last few days have been much warmer but no improvement with the stalling when cold, so can rule out the temperature I think. Air in the fuel seems much more plausible. I had a quick look at the fpr last night and couldn't see anything obvious externally -...

An issue that's developed over the last few days - starting from cold, after the glow plug light has gone out, my 90 will start without issue, run for 20 secs or so and then rather abruptly die, repeating yields the same results. If I keep the revs above 1k then no issue, it's only when it...

Spent the afternoon pottering about with various bits and bobs, decided fitting the aux fuse box on the bulkhead behind the passenger's seat was the easiest option for install + most useful for me long term.

On my to-do list for the weekend - wire in an aux fuse box. My intention is to take a live feed straight from the battery to behind the dash, where I'll stow an aux fuse box accessed from the panel on the passenger's side. I can then use this for permanently live feeds or tap a switched wire...

Thanks everyone for the replies - I used one of the bolts on the windscreen bracket to earth in the end. Easier and neater than a self tapper - threaded the wire through from the fuse box to the door then up the door seal. All works great. Right now I seem to be only driving in the dark so...

Thanks all - I need to remember it's a Defender I'm working with and generally be a bit less precious! Self tapper it is. Hopefully the attached makes sense, this will sound the buzzer when the lights are on but the ignition is not. The ignition and light feed can be taken by wrapping a wire...

Looking to install a headlight reminder buzzer, using an NC relay wired to the lights and ignition, but where could I easily earth this in and around the fuse box under the steering column? Appreciate I could use the door switch as a switched ground, but the wiring route to make a neat job of...

Recently acquired a Defender 90, only one key and fob. I'd like to sort out a spare set now, rather than when the time comes they might actually be required! Ignition key is easily copied, but can anyone recommend somewhere in Glasgow (or further afield) that could sort out a new fob for me...

Hello all, Recently filled a long term ambition and got my first Defender 90 (2008 2.4l TDCi), based in Glasgow. Looking forward to picking up a few tips and advice from the forum - the Defender could do with a bit of love to get it to where I want it to be! Relatively handy with a spanner...
