Yeah thats what i was thinking but theres more people out there saying no you cant do that youll shatter your diff etc etc.

What are the effects of testing it in this way? I mean surely you could end up in a worser off situation say if you got stuck in a field where again just one axle was getting the power? I mean obviously then you would lock the diff but wouldnt this be more harmful than a lower speed rolling rig...

I think ill start by giving it a full fluid renewal.

Should defender 90 td5s be tested on a single axle rolling rig. I know its been said before but i want to get to the bottom of it. The MOT testers say yeah yeah its fine then many just say hell no you cant do that but what does the engineering of the defenders transmission say? The 90 TD5 has...

Hi all, Took my defender 90 county 2.5 station wagon for its MOT at my usual garage and everything was spot on apart from the rear brakes were not performing as well as they should. Last year i had it tested at the same place and there were no problems. All the brake components are the same...

If you want the best job then the only way is to do it yourself. I personally don't feel your landy gets all the care and attention it needs when someone else does it. Ofcourse anything is better than nothing though but for me I do it myself and pay a great attention to detail working...

Uj's all seem good and I can't seem to make the a frame joint move it seems solid? I was wondering whether it could be something in the hand brake mechanism? Getting stuck perhaps and then flicking itself back on the change of direction.

Hi all I've been trying to diagnose a popping noise on my 90 for a while now, and I seem to have found a situation that makes it so it more frequently. It doesn't do it all the time but I have noticed it tends to do it say if I reverse back fairly quick then stop then set off in forward gear...

Best way of changing the diesel filter is to fill it up with diesel to the top then screw it on. Doing this way minimises the amount of air you let into it and most of the time you don't even have to bother purging air making your fuel pump work hard. Done this on a lot of cars and more often...

Retrim Kits and Foams : Black Vinyl How come there are two types of black vinyl? the one shown in my link there is very shiny and leathery whereas the one i like the most is like the matt effect with the white stitching as shown above on this post

Good advice that! If you end up taking any more dash off though replace the wheelboxes aswell its not worth not doing can be a pig of a job on later defenders td5 etc

What was the exact name of these covers you have used. I really like these with the white stitching. Thanks

Do you know if they do this vinyl kit for the four rear folding seats in the back of my 90? That way it would all be the same throughout. thanks

Any chance you could do a comparison between your nolden lights and a vehicle with ordinary wipac halogens? Maybe a picture or measure the distance of the beam range of the high and dipped beams. When you say your high beam is a real let down what do you mean, is it worse than standard?

Hi all somewhere in the near future i am considering re trimming my front seats in my td5 90. I am considering either exmoors black leather re trim kit with white stitching or was also wondering if the black vinyl trim kit would look smart. Obviously there is a big difference in price...
