    1998 300tdi - 150,000mls

    Up for grabs is my 5-door, R reg 1998, 300tdi in Woodcote Green Metallic. The missus is insistent on going back to two cars, so this one has to go :( Gutted as i spent ages trying to find a decent solid one. I could do with it being sold before the Bank holiday next Monday as that's when the...

    Wheel compatibility - 200tdi vs 300tdi

    No doubt a daft question but are alloy wheels from a 200tdi are fully compatible with a 300tdi? Or not! :o

    Rear Wiper Motor interchangeable - 200 vs 300?

    Hi all Are the internal working mechanisms (particularly the motor itself) on a 200tdi rear wiper motor interchangeable with a later 300tdi? I've managed to clean up my 300tdi motor and get all the gear mechanism working smoothly again, but the brushes on the motor itself look pretty poor...

    Rusted window channel

    A mate of mine asked me to look at his faulty Disco 1 drivers window and when I took the door card off I found that the channel at the bottom that the window sits in had completely rusted away, only half of it remained and that fell off! From what I have read this appears to be a common problem...

    There's something not right about my windows!

    Am I being a real numpty here? Someone please tell me! Whilst cleaning my rear windows today, and please note I am a newbie 90/Defender owner (having previously owned a Series 2A and a Series 3 Lightweight), it has just dawned on me that I have different windows to any other 90 that I have seen...

    Has my head gasket gone (90 N/A 2.5D)

    I'd be grateful if someone could confirm this for me before I start stripping the head down! :( -Temperature gauge is almost into the red after 5-6 miles of driving -Found the coolant reservoir to be empty -Foamy white residue on the dipstick, but oddly not on the filler cap (which I...

    New tank fitted!

    There is no better feeling than spending three days ripping out a rusty old leaking fuel tank and fitting a nice shiny new one to find it starts first time! Happy days:D:D:D:D I was warned it would be a filthy, pig of a job. The worst part was trying to get the 3 bolts off the front bracket...

    Heater blowing cold and Temp Gauge showing hot = Thermostat gone?

    Hi All Hopefully a simple answer to this one. The heater hasn't worked properly on my 90 since I bought it a month ago and it's on my ever-growing list of things to sort out. However, yesterday whilst out driving I noticed the temperature gauge was up in the red! Daft question, and before I...

    What doors should I have?

    From the picture below you can (just about I think!) see my recently acquired 90 has push button handles on the front doors but a lift-up handle on the rear. If you can't see it, take my word, it has! I have read a number of posts on this forum where owners of similar 90's of this age have...

    No heater controls - is it an easy refit?

    Only had the 90 two days and am on 2nd post already:) Having identified the absence of a heater/blower switch on the left side of the dashboard (I took the dash off to double-check and it's definitely not there) I guess I need to buy one! Part number STC4848 I believe (the previous owner did...

    Wiper problem - only half the screen wiped!

    Hi All, Having only acquired my 90 on Saturday this is my first post, so go easy on me:) The start/finish position on both wipers is pants, to say the least. The parked position is "10 o'clock" (rather than sitting horizontal to the windscreen frame, i.e. 9 o'clock) and they sweep round to...
