Judders, that was indeed my NATO Green beast that you would have seen :-) The guys at Challenger weren't entirely sure what to do which is why I came on here asking. The old chassis has been destroyed - it was utter scrap anyway. It sounds like nothing is actually required but I would like to...

So, after a spectacular MOT failure at the end of October, I bit the bullet and had Challenger 4x4 replace the chassis with a galvanised reproduction one. At the same time I had the clutch done as that had been slipping, the winch bumper done (as the original had been welded to the rotten...

Wasn't sure what impact playing with those would have so I just took the plate off the box by removing the six screws, checked inside was clean, loosened the pedal shaft nut on right side of box to work some oil into the bearing, tightened the nut back up and found that this hadn't helped at...

So, I ordered one of the springs from lrseries.com as per the link from buster and when I went to fit it at the weekend it became aparrent that the new spring is about an inch too long. The spring that was sent is about 4 inches long as I believe was described on the ordering page but it's...

I bought some replacement front door seals for my 1985 90 and ripped off the drivers side one to fit the replacement but I've found that the top section is not long enough (by about a centimetre or so) to fit from corner to corner of the door frame. I tried to centre the top strip to minimse...

Thanks Buster - I did a search before posting but didn't find your clutch photo guides for some reason, however, after posting last comment I decided to go and have a look in your section and found both the Clutch MC replacement and clutch pedal box removal threads which are just what the doctor...

I was just having a look around online for a new spring but the only reference I can find to clutch pedal springs on Land Rovers is for Series 2/3, not 90 / defender models. I haven't actually seen a spring on my pedal assembly, not that I've had it apart yet, but can anyone actually confirm...

So i was on the way to slab common last Sunday and I noticed that under acceleration the clutch was slipping a bit. After a few miles I noticed that the clutch pedal was not returning to its normal position so if I lever the pedal up by pulling it with my foot then it stops slipping but when I...

hmmm - although I don't honestly think two pieces of wire are going to make any difference to anyone who gets hit by my 90 - given the bonnet level is so high with 3 inch lift and 35 inch simex they'll be going under it not up and over into the bush wires... I reckon the wires are a bit...

my 90 has had these bush wires on it since I've had it and it's been through two MOTs with them on and nobody has said anything about them... who says they're illegal?

I had agreed value with flux on mine. When I bought it I paid 4500 so that's the value that we agreed when I listed the mods and provided the set of pictures. Was not contested. Have spent much more since including exmoor trim lock and fold seats which come in at about 1400 but when I came...

Discovery 3 for the wife and kids. Mercedes C220 diesel for all those miles to work and back. Defender 90 1985 with big lift on simex's for fun! Each has its place in my life but the 90 needs more attention and gets more looks than the others.

So from what I see, their option B is not a rebuild on a new chassis but is for the supply of a new chassis plus 2nd hand axles, new springs etc i.e. a rolling chassis. £1400 on top of the chassis price seems steep for axles and springs plus a simple bolt together job. If you look at one of...

I agree it is truly a ridiculous amount of money for 2 seats but unfortunately you have no other legal / safe options for carrying children in car seats in the back of a 90. For me it was a choice of paying the money to buy the seats of never being allowed to go off-roading. You could argue...

That's for 2 lock and fold seats in black outlast canvas with headrests but no arm rests.:rolleyes:

I paid £1200 plus about £70 for shipping :eek:

Speaking from bitter experience, when you order, make sure you ask them to supply the longer bolts and spacers to ensure that the seats don't sit directly on the floor because as I said in earlier post the mechanisms jam if they are installed without the spacers. Also ask them to make sure that...

Thanks Steve but I'd worked out that much for myself. What I can't tell is which one of the hardy spicers on offer to order... perhaps they're all the same:confused: Here's a list of just the Defender front prop Hardy Spicer UJ's from Paddock's website: 1. UJ for front prop (HARDY SPICER)...

Hi all. I need to replace the UJs in my front prop on my 1985 LR90. The current ones have no grease nipple so I haven't been able to maintain them and I reckon they have worn out. My front propshaft was replaced by the previous owner with a double carden type as the beast has a 3 inch lift...

I bought lock and fold seats from exmoor trim as I wanted to put my two young kids in the back in their car seats and these appear to be the only legal option. The seats are heavy and expensive and I had some fun and games with trying to get them to fit - they need to be raised off the floor...
