there's a small amount coming in the front doors at the top when its raining heavy and thats about it. It doesn't help theres always wet boots and jackets etc in the back but thats the nature of a working truck

Thanks for the replies, i may have to rethink what to do now and maybe put a vent or two in

it just has a front head liner, i know one of the reasons for the condensation is water getting in and the fact its not air tight but after heavy rain and a cold morning it was like i had sprayed the inside down with a hose pipe so everything i have in the back ends up soaking wet.

Hi all, After my 1st winter of owning a defender I've learnt about condensation. Seems like the thing to do it use the adhesive insulation/ sound deadening stuff on all the panels to stop it. From what I've read up this stuff goes on a lot better when the weathers warmer so i'm planning to do...

I have done a lot to this in the last 6 months of ownership and i still have a fair bit more to do and the body and repaint is last on the list. my guess is spring next year. I have a few areas like that on various panels, some will get repaired, some replaced but i an planning on giving these...

i finally have an update on this. I took the cap apart and flipped the seal like meego suggested and i also tweeked the taps a touch as dag019 said and its been fine since. Yesterday i finally saved up enough money to completely brim the tank then went off road on a few steep banks and such and...

I changed the leaver section of that assembly a couple of months back as my one had snapped at the knob. To get that cable off i used some bent needle nose pliers and i grabbed the little tail at the front and looking at that photo, i turned it anti clockwise so that few wraps of wire uncoil a...

Now thats a good idea! i wish i hadn't launched the new cheapo one in the bin out of frustration now because i could of taken that seal off and double stacked them.

Thanks for that link, i found that before but because it says early defender i passed but i guess mine is still classed as early with the tank under the seat. I thought it was coming from the tube/neck to start with but i parked it on a slope last weekend and gave it a good wipe around and...

Hi folks, I’ve got a leak from my fuel cap, only happens when I’m on a full tank or on a sideways slope. I’ve tried to find a replacement seal but unless I’m searching for the wrong thing, I can’t find anything. I got a cheapo complete cap from eBay and that was even worse so I’m back with the...

I had a quiet day at work today so i knocked up a rear winch bumper. I have a little bit of trimming to do for the crossmember tabs and make a couple more brackets for the swing away but should get it done it the morning

I've been thinking about it and i'm starting to agree with you, i think i want more overall capacity rather then a 'reserve' battery. I think i just got excited when i saw it was already set up for a 2nd and the fact i have a brand new battery i took out of my old car that was written off. Do...

That's great cheers. I will have a dig around in there later and take stock of all the loose wires i have in and see if i can make sense of it. Am i right in thinking that clamp i have connects to positive on the new battery and then i join the earths of the batteries together? then like you...

Don’t worry, it’s got a lid now

I'm trying to get to grips with the electrical system on my 1996 defender. Inside my battery box i have a wire with battery terminal clamp on it the goes into the bit bolted to the side and there's also a wire coming out of that, that goes to a couple of relays, one being a land rover voltage...

Hi everyone, Picked up a 1996 90 a few weeks back and its been keeping me busy! I've used the forum quick a bit so far but i'm getting to the issues the search button can't help with so i thought i would introduce myself before i start firing out the questions! I've always had something to...
