I know how much you guys enjoy a rebuild, anyway Ive had my 90 coming up 8 years, although sold it today. Ive done loads of work over the years, although this is probably the most recent transformation, carried out in febuary this year: Land Rover Defender Respray Timelapse - YouTube I know...

Hi All, I've always had a bit of backlash in my 90, but after changing a wheel bearing yesterday it seems to rattle a lot more when I lift off the accelerator, especially at higher speeds. Do you think I've just put the halfshaft back in and not quite lined it up with how it was before? I...

Hi All, I've recently resprayed my 90, and on reassembling the indicators they dont seem to function using either the stalk or the hazard switch. I've followed through this article: Hazard Switch & Indicators - fault diagnosis - Defender Forum - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum and have...

Hi all, Im planning to service my 200tdi at the weekend and wanted to remove the sump just to check for crap and whatnot. A quick google tells me i dont need a gasket to seal it, so i was womdering what folks would reccommend? Cheers, Ollie

Hi all, I'm currently repairing the door bottoms on my 90 although behind the glass I there is a corroded piece of metal which rattles like anything unless I have the window fully wound down. While the door is on the workbench I'd like to remove it but I cant without taking the glass off...

Hi guys Ive had an issue recently with my insurance and I was wonderin how modifications appear on the insurance docs. I've phoned the NFU who i'm using and they tell me that modifications are only documented on their computers and that they do not list them on the policy documentation itself...

Hi I've got the sidelight bulb on my bumper mounted spots permanantly wired to the dipped beam on my headlights and the main beam on the same spots wired permanantly to the main beam on my headlights. Legaly do these have to be switched, or are they MOT passable permanantly wired in? Thanks in...

Right so I payed extra, £25 odd quid for front and the same for rear oe bushes, as opposed to the £6 for each pack of non oe from paddocks. I phoned them to make sure that the ones i would be ordering were manufactured by landrover, but surprise surprise they have that blue badge!! :mad...

My speedo stopped working today, so I brought the clocks forward to make sure the cable hadn't popped out (and although a little loose) it hadn't. I then took the centre seat out and undid the cable from the transfer box and gave it a turn. I first thought the cable had snapped but unfortunately...

Hi, the exhaust on my 200tdi 90 isnt looking so good and I'd quite like to try and weld a bit of stainless and fabricate myself a straight through exhaust. However, if I am going to do this I need to order my materials, e.g. pipe, fittings, filler wire etc pronto. Unfortunatley my landy isnt...

Ive recently come back from uni and went out in my 90 for the first time since xmas earlier. Im planning a drive to cornwall in the morning (3-4hrs) so thought i'd check the oil level prior to leaving. It read well above the "danger" mark which was odd because when i changed the oils in the...

Righto, i went for a little drive in my 90 today for the first time in around 3 months and noticed the lights were looking rather dim, and when pressing the clutch/brake pedal down the brightness increased, and when putting on the handbrake the lights were nice and bright. I know the earth strap...

Hi, my heater's air pressure isnt great to be honest and having seen quite a few air/ram intake's on ebay (below are a few examples) I just wondered if they were actually any good, or just for looks?? Ive also seen them for both sides, do people hook up the heater one side, and a pipe to the...

After buying some new wheels a few months ago which are now stock size, compared to the tiny wheels i originally had. When i corner it feels as if im gonna roll over and the vehcle in general feels pretty shakey when going over bumps or potholes. Am i right in thinking a new set of bushes are...

Righto, over the weekend i did a full oil change (bar swivels) and although in the diffs, gearbox and transfer box i only filled until the filler plug (allowing remaining oil to drain) before tightening up the plug, over the last few days ive notices a bit of weaping from around the plugs...

Righto, not long ago i replaced my retro 80's pioneer deck for a sony headunit and everytime i turn the headlights on, or put them on full beam, the unit turns off then back on. Now i take it when the lights are turned on, they require more current to heat the fillimants so create a surge...

Hi ive got clear lenses on my 90 and the brake lights are looking a little pink for my liking and was thinking of upgrading to LED bulbs, have many people tried them and are they any brighter or more visible than standard bulbs?? Ollie

I live near street and am after a new battery for my 90 and was thinking of buying a numax or agricultural one (provided it fits in the battery box). Does anyone have any advice on what places are cheapest/best to buy from?? cheers Ollie
