So after a while of everything running smoothly with the 90, I was driving down the road, indicate to change lanes and the windscreen wipers start going, then after an hour both windscreen wipers and indicators have stopped working(including hazards). I believe it to be an earth issue as I've...

Good evening, I've been searching for an adjustable drop plate to attach to my tow step so I can tow my caravan (6 birth twin axle 1700kg mtplm) as it's currently to high. I've seen quite a few but question is, which ones are suitable to attach to the tow step? The tow step is attached via...

So i've upgraded my headlights to led's (from sp4x4), problem I have is that as soon as I flick the switch into the 1st position to turn my side lights on I get low beam which I should get in position 2? When I put the switch into position 2 there is no change at all... high beam work just fine...

So got my wings back on today, got the bonnet back on and it won't close....... It's catching on the new chequer plate I put on, i've adjusted the wings as much as I can, adjusted the main bonnet catch, it not the rubber stops I've wound them right in. The release cable seems ok and moves the...

so I took the wings and inner wings off to re-spray them. Any re-fitting advice?? Fitted the inner wing then I couldn't even get the the wing in the right position so any of the holes would line up, not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thanks

So with all the rain we've had recently I want to try and sort some of the leaks that are soaking my headlining ... but the problem I have is a previous owner bolted the headlining through the roof panel, any way of fixing the holes in the headlining when I take it off, pretty sure the bolts...

So the drivers side top hinge has started to get pushed out by the rust on the bulkhead behind it, it looks quite localised to just that area but I'm not going to kid myself that it's just that bit I can see. It it a massive job to repair the top corner of the bulkhead? I'm thinking dash out...

I got a quote off the local garage to do the mot and fix two holes behind my rear shock mounts only to find another before I took it in. I took the plunge, brought a mig welder put back the date of my mot a few weeks and started teaching myself to weld using YouTube and advice off a mates dad...

So as defenders are fantastic at leaking oil on our drives I wonder if anyone has any good ideas to get the oil off a block paved drive? Knocked my oil drain tank over and spilt about quarter of a litre on to a thick canvas sheet I had down that turns out has got lots of tiny holes in to let the...

So I'm trying to get my oil leaks sorted so I can park the 90 on my new drive, I've replaced the rocker cover gasket, torqued up the bolts properly so surely I can't be that!? I'm still getting oil between the rocker cover and the inlet manifold? Could it be the gasket on the inlet and exhaust...

So I went and changed my disks, pads and calipers on the front. All was well, seemed to improve braking abit. Although..... After I changed the calipers and disks I realised I had brought the wrong pads, as it was the bank holiday I couldnt get the right ones so popped my old ones in, (plenty...

So brakes will all be done this bank holiday weekend hopefully, another job I want to do at the same time is run a wire from the fuse box to the cigarette lighter. When I brought the tratter I didn't even check it, plugged the phone it and nothing! Had a look behind an no wire attached. 'm...

So, the extent of my mechanical knowledge is basically being able to take a wheel off and put it back on again. All the dampers and springs needed doing on the Landy. Borrowed all the right tools, wd40'd all the bolts the night before and away I went! Dampers were completely shot and all the...

Hello all, I'm Marc and I live in Coventry, a complete newbie to landrovers, I took the plunge and got my 1997 defender 90 about 7-8 weeks ago and I now understand why people told me a landrover isn't just a car it's a love affair! The extent of my off-roading is an off-road experience day...
