Hi all, I intend to respray some chequer plates on my LR 90, but don’t want to remove them because I’m not quite sure how they’re fixed and they’re ancient. If they’re already black for the most part, and just have some scratching/discolouration etc what prep work do I need? Thanks.

Hi all, There’s rakes of info about this but I’ve not posted in a while so thought I’d use it as an opportunity to post and get some opinions. I’m going to clean my engine bay on Friday, which is plastered with oil from various leaks which I’ve now had sorted (steering box, rocker gasket)...

Hi all, In a previous post I explained how my tow light had come on and indicators weren’t working. Since then I found the flasher unit to be full of water, and have bought a replacement from paddocks. I’m pretty sure it’s the right one, as the “2+1x21w” and “6x21w” matches what was on the...

Hi all, the trailer dash light came on yesterday on my 1990 LR 90. As such I’ve got no use of indicators. I’ve never used a trailer and have seen info on checking flasher unit etc but beyond knowing where it is I’m clueless. Is there a way to manually turn this light off so I can get use of...

Hi all, thanks for reading & I hope you had a merry Christmas. MOT time has come around & ive been advised of the only major concern being my rotten battery box. I’m having trouble finding a garage as my usual place is shut down until the new year & other local places being in similar...

Hi all, I haven’t posted in a while, but have encountered something strange and can’t seem to find anything that relates to this. The other day when trying to reverse, I put the clutch in when reversing and slowed down as if i was pulling the clutch out in first. It was quite strange but it...

Hi, can anyone recommend a paint/body shop, preferably in the midlands but that’s not a necessity. I have a 1990 LR 90 which at some point has been sprayed red from white, with the roof kept white. On the whole the paint is still good but there are areas where the paint is peeling/could do with...

Hi all, I think this is one of my first posts outside the defender forum. I’ve got a 1990 LR 90 with a 300tdi conversion, which I got at the end of June and was my first LR. I’m looking for some new tyres and have heard insa turbo rangers have the exact same tread pattern as general grabber...

I have had a search on the forums but the only instance of this I could relate to was for a TD5 Disco. On Saturday morning I noticed the clutch in my 1990 LR 90 had gone completely slack down to the last inch or less of the pedal. It bites literally instantly as letting the clutch out...

What is the level of alteration needed to fit a Defender Bulkhead into my 1990 Land Rover 90 TD? Does this vary much dependent on the year of the defender that the bulkhead comes from? I've seen people saying it's not a massively hard job, but it's definitely not something I'd want to attempt...

Hi, I bought a service kit for my 90 TD which has had a 300tdi conversion. I have an oil filter, 8 litres of 15w/40 and fuel filter both of which I'm happy changing. I also have an air filter, but everywhere I'm looking for info on changing air filters shows a different system to the one I...

I have a set of Cooper Discoverer STT's, as new on my defender 90. I'm only doing road driving at the minute until I've done repairs and it seems a shame to use them. I'd also like some AT tyres more suited to road use, so would sell these to finance those. Any interest? Not sure what they'd...

Don't have much info at the minute, just trying to ascertain if there's interest. Black Defender 90 roof rack, quite deep with front & rear camel-trophy badges.

My 90 has too much oil in, and has been run on the wrong type. I bought a new oil filter, 7 litres of the correct oil and a tin of Diesel engine flush. The oil is a fair way above the dipstick when checking it. Theres around a litre and a half too much in. Should I drain some before adding the...

Very sad to be posting this, but I found out today that since buying my first defender I've been driving a death trap. I bought my 200tdi on 16th June and paid £83 for a pre purchase inspection from ClickMechanic. In short I was told that it was an honest example and that it was "better than...

I've got a defender 90 300tdi owned just over a week. Never owned a Land Rover before & this is all new to me. I've ordered a Haynes manual which is en route & would like to get to understand the defender, carry out routine maintenance etc. My steering wheel seems to be misaligned. It doesn't...

Hello, I've just bought a 1990 Defender 90, I believe it was a 200tdi however it's had a 300tdi engine conversion. I'm 20 and have never owned a Land Rover before, only owning this since last week. Thought I'd introduce myself as I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions to come shortly! I'll...
