What have you done on your 90/110/130 today?

Took the 90 for a blast to Tetbury where I collected my latest purchase, a disklok, from a seller on FB marketplace. The seller was a very amiable lady whose husband had used it on his Landy a few times before he sold it. And I got a wave from the driver of another 90 on the drive back.

Took it for a trundle in the rain to run errands, unexpectedly the rear wiper started working. Then, less unexpected, it stopped working again

Who’d have thought a ‘98 90 had a rain sensing rear wiper?

Witchcraft I tell thee…

That's nothing mine even washes your shoes when you drive in the rain! Very advanced these defenders...

I had some galvanised sheet on the shelf so thought I'd knock up a couple of these.

Been out to test my 90 TD5 after installation of a Disco transfer box and can honestly say I love how it drives now. If you don't run massive tyres or tow massive trailers then go for it I am sure you will like it too.

Changed the injectors for some recon (Diesel Bob) units .... feels/sounds a lot smoother and a bit brighter.

Thankyou


I was tired

Visited the guys up at Dirt Monkey Off-road this morning and got the sliders on the 110. Service was amazing and the product and fitment seems to be quality. No drilling in to the chassis required very impressed. They just make rest of the Defender look a bit tatty now

Nice!

Went for a trundle to the LandRover show at Gaydon - 2hrs and a Bacon Sarnie and that was it….

…glad to see territory being marked though

Can’t claim that Series to be mine sadly, my 90 was marking its territory in a slightly more permanent manner elsewhere

Cut a hole in one of the van sides for the sliding window. Liking the results so far.

today I battled with the evil that is a 1986 Ninety's under-gearbox crossmember

something that was an annoying task I could have avoided IF I'd known to fit the exhaust downpipe on the Defender 200tdi engine BEFORE slotting it into the Ninety's enginebay

done now

Rich.

changed the gearoil & filter in the LT77 box, bought a 4L can of atf2 on ebay (£20 posted because I'm lazy) and realised the listing was for 2 x 4L cans

the old oil was clean / red when draining the filter but a little contaminated from the gearbox with some 'fur' on the drainplug magnet

the joys of an old Landeeeeeeeee

maybe I'll get brave enough to drain & replace the transfer box oil...

Rich.

Changed the oil in both Diffs, oh dear…



All that glitters is not gold

Also did the Transfer box, not much better - black stinking sludge - which has been replaced with fresh clean oil that will now probably pour out of every orifice

Prepped the roof for paint, hopefully tomorrow.
Will I ever get those alpines in back in though!
