Hi all thanks for the posts, i was personally thinking of the long thin rectangular LED Strips as an alternative to the round ones. Also as far as wiring they just require an ignition feed dont they? I would want them to be on all the time regardless of whether my head lights or side lights...

Hi all I'm planning on taking my front bumper and a bar off soon so I can re spray them. I was wondering though about fitting some of them LED day running lights and thought I'd ask can you get them so they just fit onto the existing bumper on my 2004 CSW 90 td5. I know Ive seen RDX and...

Well that was the whole point of my post to see if people knew of any changes in the design of them. And you are wrong there is quite a significant change in the coil springs they are not left and right handed anymore. I'm sure they probably give the same result but it is still a difference!

Yeah exactly quite right even though they are the latest 2014 landrover haven't changed them that much have they.

He must surely, I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on whether there were any improvements though. Obviously I know they decided to stop handing the springs so they have been re designed. I'm sure there's probably not much in it either way but at the end of the day I got a...

Yes your quite right but I was also referring to when the td5 parts were new. I think landrover slightly improved these newer parts didn't they?

I think the ride is slightly better than the td5 equivalents to be honest. It feels firm now when cornering and doesn't shatter your spine over bumps like it used to. The TD5 set up is just as capable by all means though! The main reason I went for it was cause I got a set of four springs and...

Hi all, Thought is share with you all that I've just fitted the later tdci defender springs and shocks to my 2004 td5 defender! Before I did it my defender was all un even and the back end was tired. During the removal of the old ones I noticed that the shocks were completely shot there was no...

I'll check the brake pads tomorrow i suppose it could be something like that yes thanks for the post! I think I'll also look at replacing those trailing arm bushes. Anyone know what poly bushes are like? I've never used them only heard of them is it worth getting some? Or sticking with normal...

Hi all, I am still on my mission to eliminate this odd clunk that i am getting on the rear of my 90. As previously mentioned every now and then not very frequent at all i get this little pop sound from the rear of my td5 90. It tends to occur when you have a bit of a judder such as braking and...

Hi all i am doing a complete renew front and back of the dampers and coil springs on my td5 defender 90 2004 I have everything i need to do the job tomorrow but i was wondering does anyone have any torque settings for the upper and lower bolts on the shocks front and rear torque...

Will a new set of lower spring seats be needed front and back? Just want to make sure I've got everything I could need so I can start and finish

Hi all, I own a landrover defender 90 2005 (54 reg) td5 county station wagon. I have just purchased a full set of front and back genuine land rover coil springs and a full set of front and back genuine landrover dampers. I was wondering if anyone could suggest any useful tips or other...

Hi all, I think my rear shock absorber bushes are starting to come to the end of their life. If I look at the top bush although there isn't a lot of play in it the bushes look warped and there is a small gap round the side of the bush. This comes as a part of a mission to resolve the...

Thanks for the heads up I hadn't looked at the sills I just heard someone say they have to be cut off. But mine probably remove just like you all say. The Masai side bars look pretty nifty though! Can you get hold of them for less than £240 think I want the silver and black ones

Hi yeah I grease them very often but whether previous owners did I don't know. However I've had a bit of a swing and wiggle on them and they seem solid. Is there a more invasive way of checking them? Also would I not be getting more trouble than what I am? Such as loud vibrations and...

Hi all, I get the occasional odd clonk from my 90 definitely sounds like it's coming from the rear. It's very intermittent and doesn't do it some times. It seems to occur like when I reverse into my drive and I go over the kerb. Or sometimes when a change of speed occurs such as breaking...

Yeah I've also found the Masai fire and ice side steps they look really well. I get what you mean about going under the sills but at the minute I have the genuine landrover fold up steps. Now I'm thinking that new side bars wouldn't hang down as low as the steps do. In which case I would...

Hi all, I own a td5 county 90 station wagon its bonatti grey with black chequer plate on it. I am after some smart looking side bars to bolt on but i have not seen any that i like the look of yet. Some of the tree sliders looked good but i found out you have to remove the sill to install and...

So the best thing to do is upgrade my headunit to an all singing and dancing one with 4x50w outputs for the four speakers and then if i make sure it also has RCA outputs i could possibly go one step further and look at somesort of extra amp or something in the future? Im unsure whether to...
