    Rim job

    @drex , stop faffing about and just buy a new wheel and tyre. You really need to be thinking of the safety of others when driving on the road and of those you are driving.

    Defender 90 TD5 rear wash wiring loom from dash switch to pump?

    Before asking general electrical questions, do you have a workshop manual with wiring diagrams? If not, buy one and learn how your 90 is wired. You will need it.

    Is she lifted?

    Here are the std spring colours and part numbers. It does look like your tratter is sitting lower at the back. To be absolutely certain change springs for correct colour/length and be done. Don't be tempted to go for HD springs, you'll just be bouncing around especially at the rear.

    Defender 110 TDI 300 For West Africa Trip

    Dual inlet manifold - installation

    @Wagon Loon , Gigi's my favourite colour in S3 mode. She's a good looking girl and sports Safari roof too, nice.

    Dual inlet manifold - installation
