Evening all I need to know if the window winder mechanism is the same in lift up handle doors as in push button doors. I'm planning to make a good set out some new push button doors and some rotten lift up handle ones. Thanks

Anyone used this kit before seems very cheap for a full set? Thanks

Hi thanks for the reply. Yes I have discovery axles on my 90. I'd be interested in the bias value for mine. My friend has a original 1995 90 so I'm hoping to copy everything on his. Rha Great thanks have a good Christmas 👍

Rear axle from a 300tdi discovery

Hi everyone I need some advice on brakes for my 1990 defender please. Been converted to rear disc brakes by the previous owner. Still has the original master cylinder (picture 1) and rear brake valve (picture 2) Should I replace them with the newer type master cylinder (picture 3) and rear brake...

Hi The axles that are on the defender now are from a discovery. I have a n reg discovery that I'm taking the axles engine etc to build up on a new chassis for my 1990 defender. The axles are both 24 spline and both have these brackets on. I have seen parts diagrams with a small bracket for...

Evening all I'm now refreshing the discovery axles that are on my defender. On both bottom swivel pins there is a thick steel bracket about 6" long held on with 2 m8 countersunk bolts. Just wondering whats the purpose of the bracket and can I remove it and fit shorter hex head m8 bolts. Thanks

Thanks for the reply fingers crossed it will be good. It was rebuilt 30k miles ago so I'm hoping it will be a good one.

Hi thanks for the reply. I have heard so many different things about gearbox swaps between discovery and defender including bell housing lengths. I have laid underneath and mearused the bell housing on both and they appear to be the same. I was hoping to then fit a kit that moves the gearstick...

Hi everyone I have a scrap 300tdi discovery that I'm having the engine and box out of for my defender. I was testing the box before removing it to check if all the gears and high low range seem ok. I had it in low range on a field and drove it up to 5th gear. It seemed to make a wine especially...

Hi everyone. I have bought a complete 300tdi discovery with a very low mileage engine to transplant into my defender. It has been sat up for several years but runs like a sewing machine and starts on the button with no smoke. I have noticed though that the heater doesn't work unless you are...
