    Blood, sweat & beers ! 1984 Defender 90 restoration

    Ah you’ll bring that old thing around no bother….lot of satisfaction waiting to happen there…great Land Rover that…I’d do it again too. Here’s a photo of my old 90. It looked beyond redemption before I started it. Folk laughed at me and told me to walk away. Nah, check her out now. Good luck...

    300tdi Defender ticking noise (not from engine bay)

    Hello. If your getting a ticking noise that you can hear at tick over which speeds up a bit as you rev then a good chance it’s the head gasket. Run your finger around the join to see if you can feel air leaking out. I have just had this problem with mine. 😎

    Rimmer Brothers

    Same as the other lads. All fine. Easy to order and they get a shift on getting parts to you. I have had a fair bit from them. Good lads.

    Washer jet

    Hello mate. It goes through into the bulkhead and is fixed in place by a nut on the screwed rod that is hollow that also takes the water up through it. If you’re needing to replace it it’s a dash strip to get to it. Bit of a devil but easy to change once exposed.

    Getting Gwen the Mini to Run.

    Anything with a female name comes with trouble! Sounds to me like your choke needs setting up...maybe even a carb rebuild, my old man used to keep buying these brutes and it was always trouble round the carb area. You could try checking on the make of the carb and find out settings etc, be a...

    Defender chassis

    Here you are. Got them from gwyn Lewis 4x4. £30 ish quid a set. Well worth it. Stopping a lot of muck getting chucked onto the chassis parts. Easy to fit onto existing mounts, front ones a bit tight to get in but no real bother really. Comes with stainless steel fittings to fit them. Good value...

    Defender chassis

    😂very good…I used the t wash to start with then rubbed it down with wire wool then hammerite special metal primer and then chassis black. Couple of coats and some extra areas painted a third time. Put a bit of raptor on too near high impact areas. To help protect the chassis I also fitted those...

    Defender chassis

    Hello pal. I did yes. I rubbed every panel down by hand to as smooth as I could. I then used coachwork enamel primer and top coat. 2 coats of primer rubbed down between each one and then the top coat in bronze green. Two coats too. Done with a roller! Got my paint from paint man and all the...

    Defender wing panel next to radiator

    Try paint man panels. Call them if it’s not listed. I’ve had a few bits from them. Good bunch to deal with. I did my old 90 up and needed that panel too but I ended up buying a whole wing assembly. Bits were hard to find. I’ve replaced that before on a wing but you have to drill out a ton of...

    Defender chassis

    Hello,I used a MAER for mine,thought it was better than what I found here in uk. The company were easy to deal with,answered all my concerns I had. When i did the work on the 90 I have I did not need to make any modifications at all and all my old parts from the 1998 300tdi 90 went on exactly as...

    Hello mate. That photo of the Land Rover looks really good. Stuck with original if you can.Less is more. Always thought 45 mph was my old ones optimal speed for a long run, you get there..in the end. Do your best to get to know how it works and work through the engine a bit at a time to try...

    Damage to the cv joint might have something to do with the noise. Bit of a job for you there👍

    1986 2.5na Ex MOD 110 Max Revs

    Hello mate. Sounds like an ok motor you have there. I’m one for keeping them as they are, I like originality. I think your engine would be fine. It’s not a racing machine by any means but it was made to do a job and I think it does fine in that motor. Used them in the military a long time ago...
