    Soft top installation?

    I had to drill new holes in mine as the holes in the top of the windscreen frame did not match up with the holes in the windscreen mounting bracket, however you shouldn't really have to if you have the correct one to fit your vehicle. If none of the holes line up then yeah, you will need to...

    Gearbox issues

    Happy days, looks like a trip round to a mates to borrow the engine hoist..............again. Having never ventured into the box before, one i get it apart, is it going to be fairly obvious which bits i'm after do you reckon? And on a separate note, the transfer box whines like a whore...

    Gearbox issues

    :eek: JamesMartin, are you some sort of wizard?! 4th is the only gear in which it makes no noise, i'm really hoping you are going to tell me some quick and painless fix here, however i fear the worst at this moment in time. Also, regarding the front diff, i replaced that around 2 months ago...

    Gearbox issues

    So i'm driving home from work this evening and as i lift off the throttle in second gear a knocking noise starts coming from the transmission tunnel. strangely it doesn't seem to happen in every gear, but it does in the majority. Everything appears fine whilst at idle and accelerating and even...

    Complete Rewire of 1988 110

    Haynes manual for defender 90/110/130 there is a wiring diagram included on the second page of diagrams i believe for '86 on-wards. It isn't as daunting as you would think as long as you are methodical about things.

    Complete Rewire of 1988 110

    I've just completely re-wired my '86 90. there was so much crap in there that was either completely unnecessary, or awful patch up work from previous owners. I started from scratch with new wire where i needed it and salvaged any lengths of wire that were still good. Basically just used the...

    Saturday 31st March Salisbury Laning day (almost) final list

    I was getting pretty poor power to the wheels all the way home, turns out i did 90 miles with the handbrake on :doh: how the only damage all the mad caused was to snap my handbrake cable is beyond me!! Big cheers to BaggyJim for leading our group, had a really great day

    My 200 TDi conversion

    Just one point, with that increased length of piping between turbo and intercooler you are going to be introducing a bit more turbo lag and slight loss of turbo pressure due to all the extra bends and length, other than that looks good and the tdi is always gona feel great after that old 2.5td!

    First attempt at respraying :)

    I bought 12 cans of matt black spray paint off ebay for 20 quid 2 summers ago, spent about 5 hours spraying up the landy, was a pretty good finish and was still looking fairly decent after a year or so. could probably do with a touch up now, but you cant really tell as the mud normally covers...
