When I started it it immediately went to extreme right hand side of hot. Ran it into the barn and crawled underneath looking for where the battery cable attaches to the frame(like I saw in a video.) Couldn't see anything; not much room. If anything, thanks to you and some others, I believe I...

Thank you all. Wife's French, son Franco-American. Hitch hiked then drove through British Colombia from Bay Area Cal. to Alaska to fish commercially, summers, in 69-70; had a great time. Been living here in France over 35 years. Really only miss wilderness, hunting and fishing back in N...

Well, I am far from an expert, but I thought, the "turbo diesel", at least here in France, was the model(s) 90/110, year 88 and 89. The Tdi(much improved,) started in 1991. https://www.land-service.com/fr/13-defender-90-1983-2016 I buy my parts here...Again, I am no mechanic and just love my...

That was a surprise, popping up on my computer screen after afternoon nap...cheers

Need my son home from university, lol. My Landy is the standard green 90; no frills, a roof rack that I bought that isn't from Landrover, but has always worked for hauling lumber. Need to say, mine is like a "covered" pickup; no seats in back; great for sand, stone, and firewood and (of...

Thank you.
