Just replaced the centre section on the exhaust, all fine, needed to replace the rear as well, how do you get the out?? Ended up cutting it up as it was destined for the bin anyway, but seems pretty fiddly and awkward to get out. Anything need removing to make it easier? Anti roll bar? Gotta...

Bought a set of alloys to go on my td5 90, the steels went on and off fine, but the alloys (off a 2010 90) are a really tight fit. They go on ok but coming off they need a whack with a rubber mallet to get them moving. There’s a slightly raised edge on the inside of the hub, seems to be what’s...

Still new to all the defender things, I’ve got a td5 90 and want to get it lifted. I use it to go shooting etc not off road days and that sort of thing, but a bit of extra clearance wouldn’t hurt, plus I like the look! I’ve got 285/75-16 tyres on there if it makes any difference. What’s the...

Went out to my defender 90 td5 this morning, and as I drive off realised the passenger window was open about an inch and the drivers one was open about 1/4 of an inch. I don’t remember opening them yesterday so am now worried someone has tried to get in it overnight?? Anyone know if it’s a way...

Had my 90 for a month and it’s developing a few “characteristics” as they do! At low speed and particularly when it’s cold the steering drones if I need to turn sharp (like a u turn or 3 point turn) Anything simply I can look for? Been told possibly steering pin oil/grease, had a quick look at...

i need new flaps!! Went to replace a mud flap today and as I undid the 8mm bolts that hold the bracket on they I did a bit then just seemed to spin! Couldn’t see how to get at the nuts tho?? Are they suppose to be captive or wellnuts or is there a trick to getting at the nuts??

A mate noticed that my rear crossmember was going to need replacing at some point. All ok at the minute, but what’s the rough price for having a new one fitted?? It’s a 2000 td5 90. I’m guessing it’s gonna vary massively depending on how bad it is but just want a rough idea how much it’s gonna...

driving along today and one of the belt pulleys decided it didn’t like my driving and jumped out from under the bonnet! Battery light came on and the next roundabout was interesting with no power steering!!! Have ordered both pulleys and a new tensioner and belt, all seems pretty straight...

my 90 was originally the utility model but has had the county windows added later on. Gotnit last week and noticed that the windows are the wrong way round! The opening latch bit is on the inside but the front half of the 2 is on the inside and I’m assuming it should be on the outside! I’ve had...

I’ve got a defender 90 td5, wouldnlike to get a decent manual for maintenance and bits and pieces, is the Haynes one any good or is there a better one out there??

just been having a look over and doing a few bits and bobs on my 90 and noticed a plug socket, about 16 pins, in the left hand side of the middle seat in the front? Anyone know what it is? Guessing maybe something for the cubby box that might of been there when it was new?? It’s not in the way...

Picked up a Td5 a couple of days ago, noticed today there’s a couple of very small holes in the suspension turrets, don’t think they’re a massive job to change. Question is what have i got? The guy said it’s been lifted 2” so guessing I’d need the correct size turrets, assuming the lifted ones...

Only just joined the forum, bought a defender 90 this week! Loving it so far!! It’s a v reg td5 but has a slight diesel leak which is dripping off the back of the engine. Had a look on the net etc and seen the fuel pressure regulator is situated about where it’s dripping so guessing it’s a...

Evening, now looking at buying my first defender and wanted to ask a few things before I go and buy the wrong one. It's not going to be an every day car, just for shooting and a bit of running around. I need one with 3 seats in the front, not seen many about but have seen a set of the three...
