I'm in the process of spraying my Ninety, but I'm a little unsure of which way to go in terms of the painting system. Originally I was going to use Paintman's enamel paint and roller it. However, I've now decided to spray it instead. My mate is a sprayer and is a little concerned about using...

Looks like I took that photo with a phone from the early 2000's - no idea why it's displaying like that!

Rear axle from a Defender 90 complete with the other LR bits n bobs you see in the photo. £50 - cash on collection from Notts/Derbys

All from a 1992 ["hard dash"] RRC. I've got the following: Electric sunroof £10 Interior/Dashboard stuff i.e. Top dash rail & handbrake [Seen better days, but usable] & Speedo/clocks [was in working order when I took them out] - £10 Spare wheel foam insert jobbo [I think this is out of the...

Just a quick update: Original axle is off and new axle is being prepped up. I assume it's a good idea to change wheel bearings etc while it's in pieces. However, when I took the hub nut, lock washer, adjustment nut and spacer off, there wasn't a seal. It basically went straight to the...

Argh, why does such a simple job turn into either a nightmare or a moneypit? Just started to swap my brake shoes on the O/S/R brake and noticed a nice rusty hole in the backplate. Ah no worries, I thought. Just nip to Paddocks in the morning to buy one. Oh no I can't...they don't seem to...

Ah, thanks James. So I won't get the ftc4785, but instead buy the rtc3511. Will get it ordered. Thanks :)

Thanks Jon... Do I need to remove the stub axle to replace the seal (i.e remove the 6 nuts and bolts) or can it be done in situ?

Thanks for the replies chaps. When you say rear halfshaft oil seal, do you mean this seal (well it looks like a seal) as per Busters thread: or number 12 on this diagram: Cheers

Apologies about my long time, no post. Lack of Internet access/moving etc... Anyway, last year, my 90 failed on the MOT due to axle oil contaminating the N/S/R Brake Shoes/Drum. Fair enough, I knew it was leaking; the back of my wheel was covered in the stuff and I had tried previously to...

Thanks for your advice everyone. Weight of Digger was 2700KG + Trailer 675KG = 3375KG The buckets went in another car, just to be on the safe side. Was an interesting journey home. :)

kubota kh66 digger excavator | eBay Not this actual one, but very similar. It's a 3T Mini Digger and comes with 4 buckets... I've just looked at about 20 threads and confused myself silly. Year of LR is 1989. p.s. driver (not me) passed test before 1997 rules and has HGV licence...

Thanks lads. Yeah, it's just a standard chassis otherwise. :)

My insurance is up for renewal soon, but my existing insurers decided to treble the price this time round :mad: So, I'm now going to get on the phone and get some quotes in, however, I've just realised something. My Defender is standard, no lift, no snorkel, runs on steel HD wheels etc...

Ok...I'm going to sound like an idiot here, but that airbox is exactly the same as mine, yet mine was sold as a 300tdi airbox? Are they the 300/Wolf boxes the same? Or have I got a better airbox than I first thought?

Cheers James and Shifty...will hopefully get it sorted tonight :)

Thanks James. I'll disconnect the hi/low switch then and keep it disconnected. Just for future reference, why does the ECU need to know it's in low if it doesn't actually need connecting? Also, we've just noticed the speedo connector is different as well as the diff lock sensor. Can we...

We are just swapping my mates 1.41 transfer box over in his Td5 Defender for a 1.222 Disco box (from a 300). However, we've hit a snag. There is no hi/lo sensor switch on the 1.222 box. What do we do? Do we need to swap the casing over where the switch is located? Do we need the switch...

Do you know if it's GL4 or GL5? I believe GL5 is only any good for ya axle diffs
