Just so you get this right Land Rover Ninety and One Ten models built before 1990 are not Defenders. The Defender name only came in with the arrival of the TDi 200 engine model.[same as disco] This can be important when ordering parts. John Craddock has what you need here in UK.

Disco washer NO. Same washer used in 2ltr 2.25 and 2.5 engines up to 1990.

The shims you need are already in there, it is a case of removing one or two to get the preload right. They are of different thickness and it is a case of try it and see. Example remove the thinnest shim replace pin and if still to loose put it back and remove next thickest and so on until pre...

Its called "speed wobble" because that is when it happens usually induced by a bump in the road. Loading up the drive train [accelerating] can act as a damper but is not a cure. Have you done the swivel housing preload?

Does this mean you have not yet checked/done the swivel pin pre load since this thread was started? Swivel pin pre load job does not need the hub removed unless pin or bush is worn. Jack and support axle. Remove wheel and disconnect track rod [and steering rod for nearside.] Have a feel of...

Judge Dread 1995 film the city taxi cabs were based on Land Rover 101's, not that you would recognise them.

K-seal in the system will sort minor leaks for a good time. Can be used with Blue antifreeze.

Lots of Landy's doing their stuff in 1965 Syfy yarn "Crack in World" about scientist who's project to use an atomic bomb to release thermal energy, of course it go's wrong. Mostly Series two hard tops to see but the Landy hero is a battered open top 88.

It was me, my Ninety has series metal caps. Whack on with rubber mallet with smear of sealer on the edge.

When my old Honda 125 caught fire as I was riding along [ things got rather hot down below] I was glad to do a quick bail out.:eek::eek::oops:

Rails of correct section available from YRM. A mate fitted a gas strut on his, says it is nice door can remain open on a side slope or in wind. However when he opens door a bit off it goes flying to a crash as it stop, you have to hang on to it. It is of the type that fits at the bottom instead...

I have done mine's intermediate shaft front O ring seal as above. Moved trans box back on two extra long bolts and then push shaft forward just enough to renew the O ring.

If that is your only issue with a 20 year plus truck you are very lucky. Only a thorough clean up will disclose the exact cause of the leak. Also I think the oil has a red hue which says main box oil. Anyway it will be basic fix of gasket or seal, how much cost depends on which one. Most...

Did mine two years ago, it was much worse than that. The whole bottom rail gone as well as some of vertical ones. Did fix it in the end but a lot more faff than doing a front door. Looking back a new door would have been better despite the cost because it took me a lot of time.

Can be done but it is a right fiddle. There is a tool to do the job [see Youtube] but I have not ever seen one for real. A trick is to put rod into a bit of plastic pipe with the clip on. Pipe is just long enough so when clip is tight at its end a small vice/mole grip is latched onto the slave...

The doors are 34" so the bulkhead to tub measure should be 34.5"to allow for shut gap.

I have a special horn on mine for folk of a nervous disposition, starts as a hum of increasing volume before you get the full barp!:D:D Wonder if it will pass this years mot.

As the piston is out honing it would take little time and be a benefit for new rings.

Classic fail that. Ran a 10j petrol for many years and had a couple of changes for that reason. Recon all there is to do is clean it up and renew. I never used new head bolts, just made sure correct torque sequence done in stages up to 90lbft [ if I remember right] but did do a retorque after...

You are likely right, new ignition switch needed. Mate had a 2008 model and his went faulty just getting stuck and not turning. As yours still turns a new switch unit can be fitted. 2 small screws hold it to the key unit. I think getting at the ignition switch in a 2008 model more of a faff...
