Cheers guys! I feel so stupid! I didn't notice the fogligth switch down by my knee so they came on everytime I pushed the indicator forward to turn main beam on. I didn't realise that the sidelights were also meant to be on regardless. No, I don't have any spotlights it was just the rear...

:doh: This is probably going to be the stupidest, most embarsassing question ever posted! I have just bought a Defender, but I can't figure how to turn main beam on! There is a switch below the indicator stalk which when flicked to the first position turns my sidelights on and then in the second...

Hi there, I'm trying to research the awards that the Defender has won since its launch. Can anyone help me out? I'm looking for the name of the award, who awarded e.g. what magazine and when, but whatever you know would be very helpful. Thanks!

Cheers guys, it doesn't sound too bad then!

Any suggestions?

Hi guys, I posted a thread last week about replacing the roof on my 110, which was very helpful and I have decided that whilst I have the roof off I'm gonna replace the rotten body cappings on my 110 station wagon at the rear with some shiny galvanised ones like Series have fitted and early...

Sorry I have been so late in responding to all your replies. Thanks everyone who replied to this thread it has been a tremendous help, that's exactly the sort of information I wanted, thank you very much!:D

So Britpart ones are best avoided, which are the decent ones to buy then? Supposedly the new td5/puma ones don't rust like the older style ones because of some rubber bush thingy, are they worth it?

I would definately reccomend NFU - £450 for a 17yr old as a named driver on a 1992 110 csw 200tdi.

I want to swap the roof of my 1992 110 station wagon for a newer one from a scrappy which doesn't have a sun roof because I am sick of the leaks from my old one. I also want to fit a roof console but can't because the sun roof is in the way. Can anyone give me a detailed guide of how to remove...

Does anyone know where I can get the chassis plugs from that plug the jack holes on the front dumb irons? Or the part number? Mine have fallen out somewhere along the line and I am a bit worried about the inside of the chassis filling up with rust inducing crud.

I'd also say go for a 110 over a 90. Most people choose a 90 over a 110 because of its slightly better off-road abilities and most people choose a 110 for carrying bigger loads/more people. So for your purposes I think a 110 might suit you better. You can compare the differences in capability...

As a relatively new first time owner myself I'd say the best thing to do if you're new to the whole Defender 'experience' is before you do anything try driving one first. They are very different to drive, especially if you're used to driving an ordainary car. I agree that you don't want any...

How about a personalised Max and Paddy style alarm? YouTube - Phoenix Nights "Get back u bastard I'll break ur legs" Or a MechLock? It's totally mechanical so no electrickery bits to go wrong, which is quite likely in a Land Rover which is driven through water/mud/crud regularly. It's an...

You should get a lift with one of those kits as long as you use springs that are properly rated for your Land Rover e.g. heavier duty shocks at the front if you have got a big chunky winch bumper and winch etc.

Thanks, from what everyone else has been saying I will probably halve the service intervals now, or do it 2 or 3 times a year, whichever comes first. I think the chassis is in pretty good nick now that the rear crossmember and front dumb irons have been replaced, I was considering getting the...

Thanks for the speedy replies guys, very helpful and I have a good idea of the sort of preventative measures needed now. Sorry, if this is a bit of a newbie thread, thanks for being patient! Any more suggestions? Thanks!

Hi there, this is my first post and a bit wordy so bear with me! I have a 1992 110csw 200tdi which has now covered 160,000 odd miles. I have had it for 2 years now and I know these engines can do big mileages, but what I really want to know is what can I do to keep the engine healthy and...
