The dash lights on my ninth have stopped working making it difficult to see how slow I’m going at night. There is no power to the bulbs and fuses are all OK. From the wiring diagram the red wire from the light switch turns into a red/white wire somewhere. There is 12 volts on the red wire so...

I've finally got around to fitting a TD5 speedo into my Ninety and it's working a treat except I don't know how fast (should that be slow) I'm going at night :( I've wired pin 4 of the top plug into the lights, which I believe is correct, but I have no backlighting when the lights are turned...

Hi all, I hope someone can help me work out what's going wrong. In the summer I replaced my old LT77 with a short R380 from Ashcrofts. At the time I replaced the clutch and reinforced fork. The release bearing was also replaced with the shorter version supplied with the gearbox. All seemed...

Hi all I've fitted a Becker Traffic Pro into my Ninety, Model BE4765. It knows where I am, if I get it to display my position it's correct. However, any routes it calculates from somewhere in Kent. If I ask for local points of interest, I get Maidstone. I know that it can use a speed (GAL)...

So, there I was bumping along the Ickneld way in Suffolk when I was passed by someone in a Ford Focus going at a fair old lick. She bounced along without a care in the world and disappeared into the distance. It wasn't an old wreck but a nice road going car. It might be a bit of wreck now I...

Hi all I'm looking to meet up with others that go green landing around the Thetford area, or further afield in Norfolk and Suffolk. I don't know that many 4x4 owners. I can, and have found and check the status of, BOATS in the area and driven a few of the gentle ones, that I have pretty...

A few months ago I got rid of my work car as she was becoming troublesome and, as I no longer need a car for work, I decided that the time had come to put my Ninety back on the road. A new car was bought for the missus, can't rely on a 26 year old Ninety behaving itself :) At the time the...

Hi, I've googled this but just want to check I have this correct and, as I see that a number of people have switched their fuses from glass to blades, I'm hoping someone can confirm. My understanding is that glass fuses used in old British cars are rated at the current they are designed to...

Hi all I've cut a load of rust out of the passenger footwell in my Ninety and removed the two bolts, the ones with the screw heads that bolt through to a bracket. I've put these bolts somewhere safe so that I wouldn't't lose them. Now if only I could remember where that safe place was...

Hi all, Just realised that I've been lurking here for 4 years and never introduced myself. That was sort of OK while I was quiet in the background but seems a little rude now I've posted. I'm Kev, based in Norfolk and driven / owned a few Landies. 30 years ago I was bombing around in...

Hi all I have a Holey rear crossmember on my 90, TD, but she's already had a replacement with extensions. Can I just cut the old crossmember off, clean up the existing extensions, and fit another or am I going to have to find another solution? Kev
