Hi guys. When im driving along at a certain amount of throttle or when its under strain i get this big vibration. It feels like its comming right from where the front prop is. All joints are fine and had a new UJ on the front prop a few months ago which gave me no probs at all. Thid vibration...

Just changed the transfer case in my 90 over to a secondhand one out of a disco. Straight swap with no probs. The difference is amazing! Drives like a sports car :p Only thing ive found is that you really notice the lack of pulling ability at the low end. When in the wood i now frequently have...

Hi guys. Well... heres a bit of the story; when i release the clutch there is a quiet clonking noise. so im guessing that = release bearing. But the gearbox (or something) is 'noisey' in neutral. However when i depress the clutch the noise stops. The haynes fault finding says this is due to...

....i did it and went for a nice little roll:doh:

£60 for center diff? Or for second hand trans box?

Oh right. Im guessing that its going to be mega money then as its different...:s We think its the center diff as there is seriously bad backlash in the trans but we've checked everything else it could possibly be! Going to check all other things again though on thurs just to be sure before we...

Hi. Just a quick question about the center diff... Mine is knackered (at least we think so - so going to be looked at next week). Anyway, so what ive been doing is looking around to see how much i can pick one up for. I have a 1998 300tdi 90. Is the center diff in mine a standard 2 pin? Ashcroft...

Hi guys I desperatly need a passenger side door and winscreen surround for my 300tdi 90. Had a bit of a mishap with a rather large ditch a few weeks ago and pretty fed up with it now snowing inside my landy... Anyone got either available? Im in northiam, east sussex. Cheers, Chris

The other day when i rolled my landy.... did some pretty bad panel damage but took it into my landy guys who checked my steering/suspension/chasis for any bending. Quick look they could see nothing wrong but said i might have bent a shaft (or something like that) in the steering box. But i...

Alright mate. Same story as me! Bought my first landy off autotrader about 2 months ago. An R reg 300tdi 90! Always wanted one, and now ive got one :D With quite a few probs though...:( and rolling it down a ditch the other day didnt help either :( Anyway, as to feeling a bit wobbley. When you...

Second gear is a ba*****d to engage! I've got a 1998 90 300tdi with no end of probs :( Got some major backlash that has been geting worse and worse and the diagnoses from two differnt people is the center diff (they checked everything else possible!). Also there is something no right with the...

Well thanks for all the replies guys! Like the idea of putting a seperate fuse box on the rear bulkhead. Think i understand it all...look out for a decent switch that is fused at say at 10amps or if not add a relay into the circuit. Happy new year!

Hi guys. Going to need a bit of help wiring in a rear work light. Few questions: Firstly can anyone reccomend which work light i should get? Also is there a correct size relay i need? I know i need one but never used one before (prob why the switch melted when i put lights on my mini!)...

Im with Shifty. Don't bother if you don't have to. I went out last friday, loved the snow, but hit some black ice on the way home... New roof, door, winscreen surround, windscreen, both wings, bonnet, radius arm, wheel, tyre. Enough said?!

Just wondering if anyone can reccomend a good place to get some new panels (Cheap!). I've been looking and prices really vary. I need; LH Side Door, Windscreen Surround and Hardtop Roof... Lesson learnt - dont get too carried away in the snow :doh:! Cheers, Chris

Not sure if it rubbed before the accident :s? Ive got 265/75/16s on mine. Right wheel is fine. Was in Groombridges at Heathfield for few days with diff probs a few weeks ago; they had the front apart so im sure they would have spotted a problem if it was rubbing. Is worse case if its caused by...

Well shes home and ive bodged her so i can comfortably drive her without getting cold and wet! Also started enquiring about panels, and been to the bodyshop i go to. So well on the way to a happy future with my defender :) Anyway, what i need to ask is... just been having a good check over and...

Well just had the news... Caffyns have quoted £7000 to fix it!! They must be having a laugh. No structural damage, just panels like i said; roof,door,winscreen surround, wings, bonnet. Side step, mirror, and wheel/tyre. Thinking im going to withdraw the claim and save my bonus. Think im just...

Hi guys. Im distraught! Went to work yesterday (forestry) and my landy was a beast, taking the snow in its stride. Got a 90 300tdi (1998). Worked all day tackling some pretty bad sitations i must admit...but all went fine. Even helped a mate of mine pull a grit lorry up a hill on our way back to...

Hi guys. Havn't had my defender 90 long so a real novice when it comes to off roading, but really want a slice of the fun! After all a defender isn't a defender without mud on it :D! I live near Rye/Hastings in East sussex so does anyone know of anywhere i can go or anyone near by wana show me...
