Hi, When I'm driving along my headlights and dash lights are dimming. The lights aren't going out, it's like there pulsing a bit. Don't know if it's battery, alternator or connection, but reckon if it was a connection they'd probably be going out all together? Doesn't seem to do it at tick...

Great thanks. I'll check that this weekend.

Hi, Can I ask if there is any clutch adjustment on an 1989 90? Over the past month or so I've lost at least 50% on the pedal, so it's now only biting right at the bottom. So if there's no adjustment it looks like I may be need a clutch pretty soon! :eek: Thanks in advance.

Okay doke, certainly seems there's an issue then. I'm in the Scottish Borders near Biggar. There's a Landy Garage pretty close, I'll run it up to them. Thanks for the help. :D

It was the thermostat BTW. Temp sits just below halfway and the heater is nice and toastie. Thanks for all your help.:D

No I didn't. So reading between the lines then, It should handle in the same way as series 3 and I should get someone who knows what to look for check it out for me??

Hahaha, obviously it reads pretty bad. I'm really asking if there is a big difference between a series 3 and defender in relation to handling. To answer your questions: 3 weeks Yes I did test drive it but not at 55-60 round twisty roads so never felt it. Suspension looks perfect from the...

Hi, I've bought myself a land Rover 90 (1989) that has Hankook Dynamic MT tyres, size LT 245/75/R16. If no idea the correct tyre pressure and wondered if you guys could give me some suggestions. Also, when braking heavily it pulls strongly to the left and sometimes locks the rear left. Any...

Hi, Just bought a SWB 90 (1989) that's had a 200TDI engine conversion. After buying it (same day), the radiator sprung a leak and I replaced the radiator last weekend. taking it to work the temp gauge now, however, just hits the very beginning of the cold reading and never goes above it no...

Folks, I need to get my gearbox recond/fixed. Crunching 2nd gear, reckon the synchromesh is away. Any good 4x4 guys here in Scotland, preferrably round the central belt or borders you could recommend??

Magic thanks!

Are these easy to fill half way up and on the side? What's the best way, is it just a funnel and take your time?

Hi, I've got a series 3 1983 that I'm looking to top up the gearbox oil levels. I'm looking to top up the gearbox, transfer box & fairley o/d levels. Can you advise how I do this. I know there are level plugs to the side but I take it you top up from the top? I've lifted the floor (for...

Thanks. Does 200 TDI just slot in?

No doubt this has been asked a thousand times before but ....... I'm looking to change me old tired Series 3 (1983) diesel engine and would like to know: What would be the easiest/best engine to use to drop in (not looking to spend too much). How big a job is it. Would I need to change the...
