    VIN covered up on chassis, is it a MOT fail?

    Judging by the response it appears to be a grey area, I'll talk to my garage before sending it in and see what they think. What's the deal for when the vehicle becomes tax exempt, will they need the chassis I.D or what's on the paperwork and master? Thanks for the response everyone

    VIN covered up on chassis, is it a MOT fail?

    Eek. Yeah that's the stuff of horrors... But a galvanized chassis awaits the chariot soon enough...

    VIN covered up on chassis, is it a MOT fail?

    Legally it has to have one, I wasn't sure if it had to be stamped on the chassis but as has been answered by Kev and Lynall, you can have it on the master and it will pass. :)

    VIN covered up on chassis, is it a MOT fail?

    I have a Defender 90 that has had a replacement chassis off a used truck, I assume that the previous owner welded over the VIN plate so as to not mix them up. However there is a VIN number on the inside of the engine bay attached to the master cylinder which corresponds with the V5 for the...

    Land rover defender headlining is this how it's supposed to be?

    Hi there, Having just re upholstered my headlining I'm currently putting everything back together and have hit a snag. I can't for the life of me get the rear view mirror to go back on. I'm wondering if the headlining should sit behind the flat surface or in front? If anyone could have a quick...

    Thanks for the response everyone, going by dimensions and capacity I think I'll go with the 643/644 Hankook MF31-1000 Heavy Duty Car Battery 12V 115AH As suggested, some very good reviews. Thanks again!

    What's the best battery for a Defender 90 200tdi?

    Someone gave me the same advice, it frazzled and banged a little bit, I think something went wrong as it doesn't work at all now...:confused:;)

    MOT pass or fail (seat runners)

    Well that's a real bit of luck, it's the passenger side that decided to blow up. Thank you very much for your time! Much appreciated

    MOT pass or fail (seat runners)

    So I recently installed some aftermarket seats in the defender and unfortunately during modification one of the runners blew up into a million little ball bearings. Unfortunately because of this it's resulted in the runner no longer working *sigh* simple jobs always turn out to be the hard jobs...

    What axle is this?

    Yep! Had a stone fly in there and cause a few problems. Both discs have scored quite badly but will survive with just new pads, wanted to know the axle to confirm which pads to get but it's all sorted now, thanks!

    What axle is this?

    Back with yet another question, sorry guys! As the title suggests, could anyone tell me what axle this is? Got to get two new disks and pads for the rear. I'm pretty sure it's a Disco 1? Many thanks!

    200 TDI intercooler upgrade

    Hi Dag, Thanks for replying! I would be happy with that but would I have to shunt the radiator over to the center to allow for the pipes? Or are both input and output on the same side of the intercooler? I have installed a boost pin, boost ring and tweaked the fuel pump which is why I'm...

    Land Rover defender maintenance, what fluids do I need?

    So if I use ATF Dextron 3 for Gearbox, Smith and Allen EP90 for diff. I imagine EP90 will be too thin for the swivels, what am I better off using for those?

    Land Rover defender maintenance, what fluids do I need?

    EEK, that's the information I have from the previous owner (he wrote it on the service booklet) which I have only just checked. I am about to do the first maintenance run on it simply because I had fueling problems recently and the fuel filter looked as if it had never been changed! (changed it...
