Thanks. I think I will give it a try to using paper to make a template first. I looked at it and it seams that the rear is pretty strait. No curves. I will keep you posted on the progress.

thanks, but do you think it is doable with some wood panels? I will try with cardboard first to see

Thanks, but the issue i have is that i do not have the panels, so i need to make them up

Hi All Fans, just a quick question for all of view who have attempted to redo your interior headlining: did you try to replace the original headlining with wood? let me explain, I have a commercial 90 with rear windows and obviously do not have the side interior trim panels. while I am it, do...

Regarding the lights, i changing everything to led including a new flasher relay. I plan on wiring a simple switch for the warning lights. The car is from 1989 and originally fitted with a td engine and now a 300tdi.

Thanks, but all wires and connections are new. And i sprayed those as i mounted them.

The cumbersome relay is the warning light switch which cause a lot of issues from what i read. I also think that just identifying with the ohm meter should be enough.

Dear All, After having a bunch of issues with the wiring of my Landy, i decided on a Sunday night to rip off all the wiring out of the car and start from scratch my way rather than following endless wires which change color every inches due to previous’ owner DYI. I know, not really...

Hi All Landy Fan, as I am moving forward with the preparation of my 1989 defender for a 4500KM road trip, I have more and more electrical issues and I think I traced them to the fuse box, still containing glass fuses. when I push it works and then sometimes not :-( as I would like to avoid to...

you asked the rights questions, I will try to explain: I bought an auxbeam switch panel which will sit behind the rear bulkhead (Defender 90) facing backward. the control of the unit will be placed on the dash. this is where all the fuses are (in the auxbeam black box). so I am trying to find a...

Dear All, I am preparing my defender 90 for a trip to Norway and I have a lot of wires that I need to plug into a fuse panel which I will place at the rear of the 90 (Diesel Heater, light bar, rear lights....) Just a question, what's the best cable routing from the battery box to the rear? if...

Dear All, Yes the head is refitted and no more overheating. The guys have been towing 3.5t for a full day without problem. But as it is a Landy the trip finished on the tow truck. I discovered that the alternator cable had burned. Now replaced and it looks fine. Now I am doing some other...

Just a bit more info. The head has been reviewed by the shop down the road and pressure tested. All good and they scrape only a bit. So next Monday I will update you if my parcel clear the custom.

Just to keep you all informed, the head is in the shop. I should get it back this week. Work will start on it by the 18th of December (not much time before) And as I present to myself, we have booked the car into the viking rally in march

as least on yours you see the problem. not so easy on mine. I am taking the head to a workshop to plan it. so I will be hopefully good with it.

Dear All, Finally the head is out :-) no major struggles and all the bolts were easy to remove, that's a good point. I only found one point of "possible exchange" between the coolant and the oil, but I do not know if this will be enough to loose that much coolant. Please let me know if you see...

good evening, another test today and I think I loosing coolant but I cannot find from where, I had to add about a liter of coolant today after driving 30´ and letting the car sit for 24h. I know the expansion tank need to be changed but what about the piping down there. See photos.

Hi All, New discovery for me today (not the car😴), I wanted to do a quick test, I took my wireless barbecue temperature sensor and stick it on the expansion tank. Cool gadget as I can read the temperature wirelessly on my phone. See photos. Guess what the engine does not seems to warm up even...

Thanks, I do not think I will need a dile gage as I will be taking the head to a specialist shop who would do the trimming for me and preferably a compression test. Do you have an idea of the time needed for an amateur?

Thanks for the heads up, I am a bit stressed to do this, but I think I will need to do it and then also change the cam belt at the same time. Any good tutorial or website on how to do it? Thanks,
