Yes, I've searched! Google gives me the part numbers for both TREs - I even know what the part number for a RH thread and a LH thread is. What I can't find is which one goes at each end of the track rod! I replaced all three TREs a month or so ago. But in replacing my radius arm bushes I...

Recommendations please! Looking on that there interweb thing, there's the usual massive price difference between something that looks like it came out of a cracker, and the professional kit that a main dealer might use. I need to make up some brake lines for my Ninety (and at some point, my...

Went to my first "Pay-n-Play" yesterday and got my 1988 Ninety sill-deep in very thick mud. When I got home I took each wheel off and jet-washed all the crap off. At the back I also took the brake drums off and cleaned the mud from inside the drum and all around behind the shoes, etc. Driving...

I got my Nato hitch fitted yesterday and collected my Sankey trailer today. Haven't had a good chance to look all round it yet as it was dark when I collected it - but it tows well and was a good price, so I'm happy that there's nothing horribly wrong with it. Now to my question! I have my...

I know a few people have got Nato hitches on the back of their Landys - I've just got mine, and was planning to bolt it directly through the rear cross member (it's got a reinforcing plate for the reverse side). Is that acceptable? I've got to mount the electric hook-up too. Looking for ideas...

My 1988 Ninety clicked over the 200,000 mile mark today. I appreciate there's an element of "Trigger's Broom" about most Landys, but I reckon apart from the engine, there's a hell of a lot of original parts still going strong. Anyway, I treated him to a shiny new K&N air filter to say "Well...

Daft question time :o Will a Defender bonnet fit in the back of a hard-top Ninety? I'm picking one up at the weekend, and I'm assuming I'll get it in the back of the Landy, but thought I should double-check before driving 50 miles to collect it! Ta :)

After driving 200 miles in the Ninety yesterday, I've convinced myself I need to replace the steering box - driving on the motorway was not fun :( So I'll probably need a new drop-arm, since to get the current one off I'm expecting to have to use Mr AngleGrinder :D I've been doing a bit of...

First things first - I've done a search! Didn't find much of any use though. I have a Discovery 200tdi in my Ninety. I believe the alternator is a 65A unit (A127?) I would like to fit a 100A unit, but there appears to be conflicting views on what will fit. 100A alternators were fitted to later...

Last July I bought a 1969 Series 2A SWB truck-cab with a view to restoring it to some of its former glory. The plan is try and re-use as much as possible - I'm not made of money so won't be throwing tonnes of new parts at it. Consumables will obviously be replaced, as will things like bearings...

I've got a Disco 200tdi in my Ninety - I've fitted the air box that came with it, much like the pictures in this thread: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/200tdi-air-filter-box-102666-3.html I'm just about the fit a snorkel, and it occurs to me that these air filter housing are unlikely to be...

I fancy DIY-ing a tubular bumper for my Ninety. :) Yeah, yeah, I know Google has got hundreds of pictures - but they all show the bumper from the front. I want to get an idea of what the back looks like and how it mounts to the Landy. Can anyone help? Ian.

I just purchased an OEM drop-arm balljoint from a well known Land Rover spare parts supplier and they sent me a ****part unit. I emailed them and they said "OEM means it is an original equipment manufacturer" - i.e. not necessarily Land Rover. Shall I use it? Or lose it? Given it is such a...

The various threads I've read on here and elsewhere suggest that getting the drop arm off the steering box is a bitch of a job - usually ending with the application of Mr AngleGrinder followed by a new drop arm. So why is it that I have vertical (i.e. up and down) play in my drop arm? As far...

Hello. I want to use Superseal connectors for wiring in some spotlights. You may not know the name, but you'll recognise the connectors - they look like this: They're not expensive to buy, BUT the correct tools to crimp the terminals and insert the pins are silly money - especially when I...

Hello. I've just bought a set of new door hinges for my Ninety - they appear to be "late" Defender ones as they're a different shape from the ones on the vehicle. The new ones are chunkier and more rounded, but the fixing holes are all in the same positions. The old gaskets between the hinge...

Hello. I know this is a bit of a long shot, but here goes... I'm in the process of restoring a 1969 Series 2A (SWB truck cab). I'm also trying to find out as much as I can about the history of it. I sent off form V888 to the DVLA and it turns out that the first owner was "Central Garages...

Hello. I've just picked up a pair of seat belts for the rear of my Ninety (thank you Wickford90), but I'm obviously being a bit dim as I can't really suss out how they are meant to be fitted. :o Could someone who has them fitted possibly post a picture or two of the way they are fitted? It's...

I know this has been done to death, but I'm rapidly running out of ideas. The background: 1988 Ninety into which I put a 200tdi a couple of months back. The engine starts without smoke, and most of the time runs sweet as anything - bags of power, etc. However, on almost every trip now, at...
