    Will door shims fix this?

    Not yet bluedog but thanks for the assurance. In fact until reading this thread I had no idea there were so many ‘adjustment options’! There is no obvious sign that the roof/side panels have ever been disturbed, so I plan to progress through adjusting (1) strikers (2) hinges (3) a bit of...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Well? Did she pass? :rolleyes:

    Will door shims fix this?

    I don't know if it's right to revive an old thread, but did you ever solve this issue huffhuff? My Defender 90 doors look similar with some visible air/water gaps between the seals!

    Is your Landrover a Car.

    My local Jaguar Land Rover dealer who have supplied and maintained all my Discoverys always announce, "Your vehicle is ready, Sir". (However, they won't be seeing very much of my other vehicle, a Defender 90 CSW :D). Thanks to various people above for explaining why I'm okay to take the...

    2004 Defender 90 XS from pig to posh

    Seems to be coming along nicely! I thought your first photos were the "after" - looked very tidy outside and I didn't immediately spot the dings :). I'm following behind you with a 1995 300TDi Defender 90 that I picked up at Christmas. It too is relatively tidy and I hope mechanically sound...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Yesterday actually, but on a rare dry day I completed some satisfying jobs on the Def 90 - fitted MUD seat rails on drivers side (I like a high position in the Disco 5), freed-up the seized side steps, and while I’d got the WD-40 out I similarly eased an almost-seized tailgate door lock - handle...

    Hitch pin security?

    Thanks guys for your valuable input. Thought you might like to see the outcome, pictured below! I did enquire of local Maypole suppliers. Only one really knew what I was talking about and he told me he no longer stocked the Maypole lockable hitch pin because the soft brass innards had a habit of...

    Hitch pin security?

    Thanks Dieseldog, I wondered whether this might be practical. Sounds like it’s worked well! :)

    Hitch pin security?

    I would be very happy if you were right Discokids, but the problem I perceive with the Defender 90 (Station Wagon) is there is nowhere to put stuff out of sight. If I cover up my gear in the back with a blanket or whatever, it simply emphasises that I am covering up something interesting! :oops:

    Hitch pin security?

    Excellent stuff Kwakerman. Although I cannot see your results, I followed your advice and used my own words! When I was searching earlier I omitted the crucial “Dixon Bate” so all I got was a load of other pin types. The Maypole item is very similar if not identical to the type I had seen...

    Hitch pin security?

    Hi all. Can anyone recommend a lockable hitch pin for a Dixon Bates style drop plate? I’ve seen one on another vehicle but I can’t find anything on the web that looks remotely like it. I know I could just take the hitch off, but that’s inconvenient and might entice some toe-rag to break in...

    Quick hello

    Of course! Here is a dealer pic. My own pics to follow in due course

    Quick hello

    Greetings! Over several years I have owned a Disco 3, 4 and currently a 5. The ‘4’ was supremely capable off-road, but regrettably I find the paintwork on the ‘5’ is not robust enough to scrape down narrow lanes and brush past scrub. So I have just bought a 1995 300 TDi Defender 90 for work...
