I have an awful head unit in my 90, it truly is the worst piece of crap I've ever bought. I need a new one and thought it would be good to combine the whole iPod, hands free, radio thing and get something that does it all. Question is; do the flip out ones on eBay do the job or are they the...

Since I've volunteered as the GLASS Wrexham Area Rep I've started a Facebook page for Green Laning in North Wales: https://www.facebook.com/groups/269563253242353/?fref=nf It'd be great to see some LZ people on there, I know there are a few people from North Wales on here so it'll be nice...

Does anyone need a spare set of wheels? They ain't pretty but they're all legal an might help someone out for not a lot of money: They are Camac Terra 4x4 tyres with tread depths mostly down at 4 - 6mm but one has 12mm and looks like it's almost always been the spare - size 31.5x10.5x15...

A good start to the weekend - the clutch just gave up on the Landy. Bugger. It was only a few hundred meters from home though so it could have been worse, the worry is I have to leave it out in the wilderness tonight as I can't tow it to the workshop (my Dad's driveway) till tomorrow morning...

After spending a heck of a lot of time reading reviews / researching / thinking I decided to bite the bullet and fit a 2" lift. I've read more pros & cons about this than I care to remember so I thought I'd just do it and see. I went for the Super Gaz medium duty kit, it looks great and seems...

My heater blower motor packed in the other day so I thought I'd go through the whole system, the fan is knackered so I'll be popping to the scrapyard to find a replacement next week, I'm going to look for a fan that fits but is better than a Land Rover item - will update once I've found...

Whilst overhauling the front brakes on my 90, a lug has snapped off the drivers side caliper. It's the earlier type of caliper off a 1990 Defender 90. If anyone has one anywhere in the North West or North Wales let me know! I'm in Connah's Quay but will be out and about for work. I know I...

I have my new rear cross member now (thanks Presbrake) I need to get it fitted and did have someone in mind but an inspection of his welding has put me off. My welding is OK for none structural stuff but I want piece of mind that it's been done properly by someone who knows what they're doing...

After upgrading to a set of bigger wheels & tyres I thought I'd pick up one of the single wheels I'd seen on ebay but no bugger is selling single wheels at the mo! It's only the spare so not fussed what it is, just need an AT tyre with a steel wheel in it! I'm in North Wales but go all over the...

Had a great day today and took some pics at the Wayfarer. Should have some links to videos up soon too. A really enjoyable day and a great first outing for me.

Just got my new wheels and tyres, very pleased with them although the Challenger wheels are -25mm offset which makes more of a difference than I thought! As there are always requests for photos of Defenders with different wheels I thought I'd take some pics Old wheels still on: New...

After a long time looking for the right winch bumper one came up on eBay yesterday that ticked the right boxes: I just need a winch to put in it now!

I've been meaning to put rear seats in the 90 for ages but haven't found the right ones, fold up ones would be great but there's the issue of mounting seat belts and they are a bit expensive. A trip to the local scrap yard turned up a set of minibus seats, after removing the sub frame they...

Just fitted a boost gauge and thought I'd take a few pics as I found a nice route through to the engine bay that doesn't appear on any of the threads I found. Just take off the wiper motor cover and put it through the washer hose hole: That brings the hose out by the heater box: A...

Thought it might be a mistake booking it in on Friday 13th but it passed with no advisories:5bhurray: The emissions were only 0.71 - that's less than half the acceptable limit, good old veg oil and 2 stroke! Best start planning for next year...

I have a BMW323 with a 2.5l 6 cylinder engine with a muti point LPG conversion, which is sat doing nothing and will be going up for sale. It doesn't owe me anything and isn't worth as much as the LPG conversion alone so I thought it might go well in the Defender. I've looked about and these...

I just fitted a rev counter in the 90: It went in with minimum fuss really, I replaced the fuel gauge which is now in the Raptor dash so the feeds were already there bar the alternator pick up. It looks like my alternator does not have the W terminal though so I'll have to pop it off and...

After buying the 90 a few weeks back I took the front prop off to change the universal joints (bad vibes) when the universal joints I ordered were to small a search revealed my 90 has a pre 86 front prop on it with the 82mm UJ's but I can't find specific info on which props will fit. I don't...

After having my Defender for 2 weeks it's about time the modifications began, I've done the sensible things - full service, replaced UJ's, reset the tappets etc, now I want to do a few things to make it feel like it's mine :) This is my starting point: I've put a pair of 350w 6x9's in...
