hi all the defender has been running really well since I carried out a service around a month ago, also had all new wheels and tyres, so all in it's been the best month of driving in the defender since I have had it. So obviously this couldn't last and it had to give me something to do over...

Hi all Just fitted my new wheels and tyres to the 90, I am just about to put the old ones away for storage but then I thought I would check see if anyone wanted them first. They are 16" multi spoke Wolfrace wheels, could do with a re-furb as some of the paint is coming off. All the tyres have...

fancy having a clean out of the heater to try coax a little bit of heat out. I have read busters how to remove the box guide, seems fairly straight forward, however my question is. If I get the box off this morning to clean but then run out of time to finish the job, can I still use it tomorrow...

1991 Defender 90 200tdi yesterday I decided after all the tricky jobs I have carried out I would do the nice simple one and change the oil, so drained the old stuff removed the filter and changed then re-filled with new oil. That all went well. However on my drive in this morning it didn't quiet...

i replaced my rear diff oil seal and fitted a new flange, following one of the guides on here, since then I have driven a few miles and at first all was fine, however now I have used it a bit more it appears to be leaking again. So what could I have done wrong my thoughts are as follows : the...

In my continued quest to try and buy every single part that doesn't fit my defender. I now have this steering wheel for sale!!! It's a 14" should fit a 200/300 90 110 130 As long as it's 48 SPLINES that's the bit I missed, mine has the older style wheel with less splines. So I paid £65 which...

my daughter keeps reminding me I said I would get her a side step for the defender, does anyone have one lying around? I was thinking of one of the springy single step types. Seen them on eBay for about £30 but thought I would ask on here before I go throwing more money around!!

after completing my work on the rear diff I took the defender for a quick run this morning and all seems fine, no funny noises or unusual rattles etc.. However this evening I opened the bonnet to make a start on the service and noticed the oil cap is missing. There was not loads of oil...

hi, I am currently replacing the seal on my rear diff due to a leak. Managed to get everything off up to the seal which is a real pain. I have used a screwdriver and a hose pick with no real joy I seem to be getting the softer inside part out but the flat surface on top seems to have been stuck...

I have a 1991 defender 90 200 I've been looking at a few parts online and quiet a few state that they are for post 1992 vehicles also read as if that's when the 200 started? I already have a incorrect steering wheel on the way, want to avoid anymore mishaps. What am I missing is mine simply a...

i am very excited I feel like I am getting a new car as I finally get my 90 back from the garage this morning, it has now been off the road for over a year!! I very rarely keep my cars for a year so for me it has been a very long time! Mainly the issues were rust with a few minor issues chucked...

we were driving along and I saw a nice newish defender, I pointed it out to my daughter who instinctively shouted in the most mocking voice she could "truck friends" and started to wave (we were driving a MX-5) Anyway I mentioned that I had thought about having our old defender painted to give...

I have purchased some bench seats second hand but they are missing the fitting brackets, would anyone be able to have a measure and give me the dimensions of one of the brackets so I can make some up please? I can get a rough Idea from the pictures and the slots they fit but would like the...

I am currently waiting for my defender to come back from the welders and as I have loads of jobs to do I went to the "Haynes Shelf" at home to discover my Defender manual missing!! I have no idea where its gone. Does anyone have a spare one they would like to sell? I am in Brentwood Essex, if...

hi all just got some new side panels so my 90 can have some rear windows, found a few how tos so I'm comfortable with the job with regards to changing the panels, just wanted to ask where people have got the seals and any does and donts for them. I'm assuming I will need a top and bottom one for...

Hi all I am looking for a passenger side seat runner/base like the one in the photo. Car is a 1991 Defender 90 the rear mount has rotted away leaving me with only three bolts attaching it to the truck. Found lots of new ones on e-bay and the various spares places but all working out to be about...

Well today was the dreaded day! My 1991 Defender 90 went for its MOT I knew it would need welding and some other bits but wanted to know how bad it was so I figured stick it through the MOT and see what comes up. Once up on the ramp we noticed the Battery box which I knew needed replacing...

Morning all, I'm after some advice. I was getting some lovely patterns on my rear tyres caused by diff oil leaking from the hub and spraying around the tyre as I drove. As much as I love the pretty pattern it's probably time I got it sorted! It was on both wheels originally so first thing I...

So after using the 90 for a good 6000 miles already this year I have decided that unlike most cars I have ever owned I want to keep it! I do not need to tell you lot why but my seven year old loves it and so do I. With this in mind I need to get some jobs done, some are needed straight away...

I am currently getting a few leaks and some strange noises from my 1991 Defender 2.5tdi. REV is Left and up if this helps. Each day after driving I am getting a small puddle around 10cm square under the rear diff and a similar one from under the gearbox area. I intend on having the seals...
