Morning all, Picked up the Defender last night off my Uncle who has been using it to lug gear around the last few weeks. I was planning this week to change all the transmission oils over to fully synthetic oils. A whine has developed which is directly proportional to the output speed of the...

There's a few gear/transmission oils now that meet GL-4 & GL-5. This means they have the correct EP additives for diffs and the transfer box but won't cause any issues with brass in the gearbox. I'm trying to minimise the amount of oils I have in my stash. I'm hoping that I can use the same...

Just after a bit of advice really, I know there's a million threads on this but I already have products I want to use up. I'm currently stripping back the layers of Waxoyl that's been applied to the Land Rover ready to repair any rust and retreat again. The majority of the truck is looking...

For as long as I can remember (I'm 24 now) my Father has always wanted a Defender. 2 years ago he tracked a really nice 1996 90 County 300TDi. Trying to explain to him that these things need constant attention, TLC and money spent on them was met with deaf years and since he bought it he has...

My Father bought a MY97 90" 300TDi County about 2 years ago. Since then it's had a full service, timing belt and a clutch but it's only done about 1500miles and generally neglected and looking sorry for itself. However, it's a solid car, runs very well and even passed an MOT with no advisories...

I've installed a new ariel into our 90. I managed to fish the cable through to behind the dials but struggling to get it behind the radio. Anyone got any tips? I'm considering removing the lower dash. How easy is it to remove? Bailes.

Reverse light isn't working on our '97 Defender 90 300TDi. I suspect it's the reverse light switch. How easy are they to change on these? Sam.

What's the best way to remove the EGR system on these? The car itself is a Defender 90 300TDi of '97 era. I was considering going the whole hog and removing the control modules and all the wiring. How easy is it? It would be nice to remove all traces of it altogether. At bare minimum I'd...

Hi, Didn't feel the need to put a thread up in the New Members section. I thought this could double up as an introductory post. I'm Sam, 22 from South Wales. I've always had lightly modified cars. My last car was an '08 Mondeo, it was lowered, running a stainless exhaust with a decat and EGR...
