    parking hight defender 90 td5

    I have 265/75 r16s and a roof rack....... I have measured the exact height of my vehicle and added 6 inches. I have this height as my minimum clearance...... I have printed it out, laminated it and blue tacked it to the dash and have a spare behind my sun visor. A £700 roof rack is the most...

    Lights

    FFS :) these may not turn up in a search.... I have 4 of these waiting to be fitted. Not had lights fitted to my roof rack before so would not be able to compare. I can say that Wipec 6 inch spots are a reasonable option... 4 x 100w draw on a battery is something to think about. RDX LED Spot...

    Is it worth fitting smaller tyres?

    I have 5 (1 new spare and 4 nearly new) Enduro Runway 265/75 r16 fitted to a set of Disco alloys? I want to go to standard 235/85 r16.... will these fit the alloys I have? (see pics) If I went back to steel wheels I would have to have nuts.... is this a simple job or expensive? Not a clue...

    front corner sitting low

    Drivers side front should be slightly higher...when you get in it should be about level. How much lower? Measure from what evers straightest... wheel arch or bumper should only be a couple of inches.

    hinges

    These are genuine Land Rover TD5 hinges that will fit... I just fitted them to my 110. I would get a stainless steel bolt set from paddocks and dont forget the Td5 gasket things (between hinge and body) are a different shape. Spray them what ever colour you want...

    new windscreen or 2nd hand?

    Try your local independant windscreen guys... dont touch auto glass. I got a new one for £35 last summer... make sure you replace the rubber. Unless you know what you are doing for £20 they should fit it.

    No rear lights

    Have you got the right bulbs in? Could someone have put indicator bulbs in the brake lamp socket?

    Defender insurance at 17???

    I was looking at getting son aged 21 on my insurance for a 1997 110 CSW with 6 seats... one problem was that my vehicle was 14yrs old. Had it been 15 or more then I could have got classic car Ins. and that seems to be even cheaper. I didn't make any further enquiries this year

    Solar-Powered battery top up?

    I was caught out twice last winter (no snow or on holiday) when I have left my Landy for a few weeks and my imobiliser has sucked the battery flat. I am looking at getting a solar panel to attach to the battery by a 'live' cig/12v socket I will have fitted to my 110. I know the winter months...

    My 110 rebuild

    Keep it going Rappy.... thats a nice colour as well. I am tempted but my BT grey will do just fine... plus I want to be able to scrape mine and not burst into tears :) You have bought a keeper... a real classic. Can you convert what you paid for it into GB£? Are they crazy expensive in NZ?

    Best Hinges to buy?

    I got the stainless fixings from paddocks and includes the retaining nuts, you will need 2 spacers for each hinge (shown in pic) ....The place that does the hinges for £5 each does them in white or gold.

    Best Hinges to buy?

    They do not come apart.... lay them on some wood rather than paper and do a couple of light coats and leave them over night. Then do the back... just the bit you will be able to see when fitted. Paint will be soft for a few days.... but you have factory paint underneath so no worries.... you can...

    Best Hinges to buy?

    I have never replaced the middle doors on a 110 before...once the doors are off the front hinges on the bulkhead can be drilled off if all else fails. The remainder of the screw will come out with the captive nut. The middle door hinges are held by captive plates... The top hinges came off no...

    Best Hinges to buy?

    Some people will pay... these are the ones that Leadfarmer mentions and I got around to fitting mine this week. I got the white ones and gave them a couple of coats of BT grey out of a can and left them for a week to dry properly. With the stainless fittings I think these are spot on... they...

    Leaking Diesel tank

    It is likely that your tank will only be leaking when more than 1/2 full and above the seam?? The leak will get worse as the fuel washes away years of muck etc... keep the tank below half full till you get over. Dont be tempted to fill it up when you have done a temp repair :) Keep a least...

    Chequerplate (again)

    Why not rub the bubbles out and touch it up?........ no going back once plated... and it tarnishes and makes it look like a very early Defender thats past its best. I am not a fan of back door plating :) my 2d worth!
