Many thanks, you're a star! Now posted on Landywatch. Cheers, Steve

I would quite like to take part in general, seem like a good group to be part of as I'd keep an eye out for others. If you could tell them that I'm Steve Jones and that my business page is Flix Mobile Cinema hopefully they will see the request and let me join. I use the Landy (sorry, used :-(...

I've tried joining the LandyWatch FB group but my application isn't accepted, any idea why this would be?? Have I got the right one? Here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/landywatch/

Excellent, thanks, just joining the FB LandyWatch group now! Pics posted. Cheers

Pretty much as per the title, my Defender 90 was stolen from our drive at 11:19 last night. I can be so specific as I have CCTV of the c**t breaking in and driving away. Wearing a hoody so no face visible. It was in Purley on Thames, RG8 (west of Reading). It's 30 years old FFS, but...

Well, thanks for all the great advice, it gave me plenty to look at and eventually I found the problem. Long story short, I had removed the green plastic lens thingy using the technique I think is somewhere on this forum, essentially using pliers/cutters to mash it up and pull the remains out...

Here's a question for ya! I've connected the fuel gauge up to a desktop test power supply and varying the voltage from 0 to 12 volts makes the gauge move from empty to full, so it appears to be working. Why then, when installed in the Landy does it need to have an earth connected to the casing...

No, sorry, didn't explain fully. It goes up to full when the ignition is turned on, with ign off it goes all the way back down to empty

Because the winter is on its way, I removed the fuel gauge yesterday and modified the lighting on it by removing the green lens thingy and replacing the lamp with a nice bright LED one, I think this was advice from this forum. Anyhow, all good. So, I connect it all back as it was and now it...

Hi Guys, My 1987 Defender 90 was re-engined years ago with an Isuzu 4JB1. The exhaust tail pipe and rear silencer are standard LR 90 2.5D NA parts (replaced them less than a year ago). Now the pipe between the rear silencer and the engine exhaust manifold has broken. I guess this is...

It's only the ends nearest the front doors that are affected (first 3-4 inches), the rest looks ok. Perhaps I'll cut out the bad bits and fill. False economy??

Aha! Obvious really! :rolleyes: Cheers for that, found them! How much??!! :eek:

I've got a bit of rot set in at the end of the joiny-strip-thingy that seals between the top part of the cab and the, erm, bottom bit. I guess I can replace some of it after cutting the affected bit out. Problem is, I don't know what it's called! Anyone?? Sorry, been one of those days...

I'm planning to relocate to France this year and take the 1987 Defender 90 with me and re-register it in France. The process looks reasonably straightforward, with just a couple of things to sort in advance. First, the headlights need to be converted (properly, no silly stickers) for driving...
