    Brake problem

    Went back to the car after work tonight to find a pool of brake fluid by the o/s rear wheel, and fluid reservoir now empty. It was too dark to investigate further but the flexible line has almost certainly burst or de-coupled in some way. Needless to say I got the train home. Car is now stuck...

    Brake problem

    I'll try and have a crawl around underneath tonight. The fact that I hit the pedal hard could have shocked a hose that was on its way out into a bulge maybe?

    Brake problem

    Morning Driving to work in my 92 Defender 90 this morning and I had to slam the brakes on (enough to lock them) when a car pulled out in front of me. Immediately afterwards the brake pedal has gone spongy and the warning light is now on. Brakes work (ish) but pedal feels spongy and they only...

    Steel wheels / wheel nuts

    Thanks Paul I have now jacked up and refitted the wheels with the original nuts in the usual orientation, ie chamfered edge inwards. The fit is definitely better as you can see from the pictures and I have tightened them up with a 2 foot breaker bar so they are snug. I’m satisfied that they...

    Steel wheels / wheel nuts

    Thanks Paul. I did buy some new nuts (Bearmach) to go with the new wheels and I think they may be 1-2mm deeper. Will measure against the old ones when I get home. I do have the old set which are oem from 92. How are you hosting your picture please?

    Steel wheels / wheel nuts

    Thanks for the replies. I have contacted the supplier and he has replied straight back (kudos) to say that nuts should be the correct way round, ie chamfer in. Paul is correct that this will centralise on studs. The absence of the “cups” that you get on regular oem steels was throwing me. Will...

    Steel wheels / wheel nuts

    Hi I have just bought some new tyres and got new modular steel wheels at the same time. These wheels do not have the slight concave section around the holes where they mount onto the hub studs - they are completely flat. They are also a bit thicker than the bog standard steel wheels that were...

    Wheel and tyre advice please

    Thank you all for the informed advice. I am veering towards the black modular steels with BFG ATs. If they arrive balanced and ready to fit it saves hassle with getting mail order tyres fitted, and I effectively end up with a new set of wheels for about £150. I definitely don't hoon the landy...

    Wheel and tyre advice please

    Hi My 1992 Defender 90 needs some new tyres. It is absolutely standard at the moment and I tend to use it in the winter for a few months when I take my Mk1 MX5 off the road. It rarely goes off road. (I know, don’t judge me..) Because it is completely standard my original intention was to get...

    Alternator belt gone - how long have I got?

    Thanks for the quick replies.. I realized after I posted that the water pump wouldn't be driven to power the heat. I have now found a local independent Land Rover specialist who are doing the belt for me tomorrow - sounds a good fella - will report back

    Morning So the squeak I could hear from under the bonnet of my 93 Defender 90 stopped this morning...alternator belt has snapped. My battery is new, beefy and in good condition: how long do you think I can risk getting no drive to the alternator and fan? I am currently working away from home...

    Defender 90 screen washer problem

    Great. Thanks for these responses. I do have a multi meter but also a fear of using it... The fact that both pumps are not working does point to the failure of a common piece of wiring, either earth or supply so I will have a look at the weekend. I have recently swapped the dash illumination...
