welcome to Landyzone, My 88 has a second tank under passenger seat that you fill directly into tank.

Got my new log book back today with historic vehicle tax class 😀😀

After above compare part numbers with googled new bits

Clean up an do an in focus pic. Has it oil in it? PS, just continue on the same page. Do not start a new thread for each question.

I took off my overdrive today can anyone tell me if this looks worn ? I have no diagrams as to what this should look like but my overdrive is squealing Thankyou Nick

No pic This is the best manual I found on od

It looks like it has a welded nut other side of bolt, on mine I think it’s a loose nut. If you take tunnel cover off you will see a lot better ( main gear stick and both floors out/ loosened

Sounds like it might be a bargain..... If the rear chassis doesn't need plating /replacing and all the electrickery works. You don't get owt fer nowt, but if he really is a good mate and wants to stay as such... Best of luck wiv it mate!:):):)

I work for a farmer, and was thinking the exact same thing!

Farmers don't give away bargains... There'll be a reason he sold it, you just need to find it.

Looks very nice do all the gears work as should what’s it like underneath

On my second go I riveted the cross members to floor and they sit on the chassis top on rubber cushions. The U slots are to fix the door threshold , 2 pieces one shown in pic the other piece I need to change , prob go to yrm for that You don’t...

the little U slots near door was drilled then hacksawed out and filed neat and sealed with some car body sealer

not sure if i put a thread on here when i did mine in 2007 but the first think i looked for was the edge that the rectangular floor sits on underneath, and that was rotted away in a few places so i took the decision to buy an oversize piece of...

Welcome to Landyzone, you could try slacking off the nut on each injector in turn and see if the knocking stops which could be caused by faulty spray pattern on injector , have you series or parallel heater plugs and are these ok , perhaps you...

Just a quick update on this. I went over the basics and it was a combination of a broken heater plug and dodgy wiring. not allowing a good connection. New glow plugs and relay and it is starting as it should.

Does it turn over ok by hand?

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I have been waiting for this t be done, I wanted to keep the original steering wheel and had to get this made, I just picked it up, and it looks and fits great, costs a few £££ but I think it's worth it so it...

Nice tutorial here from yrm https://yrmit.co.uk/workshops/land-rover-defender-90-series-swb-rear-tub-floor-assembly/ I bonded mine originally to a new floor while off the vehicle , gives you better access to both sides

I like the space available with the di and also keeping to a more original look so I kept a smaller battery and air filter under bonnet, the 200 starts first turn with 10 secs heater plugs so a 65amp battery will do it, also I had a second fuel...

Anything catching on prop as you driving , does it increase with revs or speed

Did you get any air out during bleeding, Have you checked heater plugs working and stop solenoid if it has one

Welcome did you cut new seats where injector/washers seal
