Ah ok thank you 300bhp/ton thats helped me. And yes my speedo has always been out, reading about 8 miles an hour over what you're actually doing.

Hi Looking into getting some BF Goodrich or Cooper mud tyres for my standard/not lifted 1993 Defender 90. At the moment I have 235/70R16, so would 235/85R16 still fit ok considering the wings, wheel arches and my current wheels? Thank you for the help Chris

ok, thanks everyone

Please could somebody help. I bought a pair of defender diff guards from the Newbury sortout a few weeks ago and need a few replacement nuts and bolts for them. Does anybody know where I can buy the type needed - 8mm x 70mm with nylok nuts, not ones with the allen key head though? Thank you Chris

Ok, thanks for the info and advice

Hi Just wondering if anyone has used this heavy duty steering guard from Paddock and if so what are your thoughts on it? PM724 | Heavy Duty 3 piece Steel Steering Guard for Defender RHD and LHD. Features integral towing eyes. Thank you Chris

Ok, thank you very much everyone for you thoughts and advice.

Hi Can somebody please help? I have a swing away spare wheel carrier and have been having an extremely difficult job trying to find a set of bumperettes that don't use the same bolt holes as the carrier. Does anybody know of any please that will fit a TD5 chassis - I want to be able to protect...

ok cheers. Mines a 200TDi, but at some point in its life some garage replaced the rear axle with one from a 300TDi, so its got disc brakes all round now - techically not standard to my Landys year of manufacturer. I do suppose that is a modification aswell, but it does obviously mean it stops...

I'll try FJ (Footman James right?) when my insurance comes up for renewal again in a few months. I've got quotes from them in the last few years, but they have been maybe £300-£400 more than anyone else - but maybe as I'm 25 years old now, their price will go down a bit? I do want to get a 2"...

Thank you Mistericeman for the word of warning and advice.

Thank you Mat, just what I was thinking, a rather big replacement part but just a replacement part all the same.

Hi Just wondering if people know whether insurance companies class a galavanised chassis as a modification and so you have to declare it? As far as I'm concerned its just a straight swap, old (damaged) for new, is it not? technically no modification has been done. Any thoughts would be very...

Thank you everybody for your responses. Last question is: how much oil does the gearbox, transfer box and axles hold? So how much of each oil (number of ltrs etc) will I need to fill them up? Thank you for all your help. Chris

Hi Could somebody please help me, what would you recommend as the best oils/fluids etc to use in my 1993 Defender 90? I want to drain the oils out of the gearbox, transfer box and both axles/diffs and replace with nice brand new stuff - as I have no idea when it was last done. Details are...

Hi Whilst coming back from Alton I've found a road on my satnav that just ended and a dotted line started, so I thought I'd investigate, but as I was on my own, stopped as the lane started. I came off the Alton road at a sign saying Winslade. I'm just wondering if anyone has been down it and...

Thank you everyone for your adivce and information. I will buy the one from Rebel then, but my power steering box sprang quite a nasty leak from the gasket yesterday, so will need to fix that first of all.

Can someone please help. My 4 bolt power steering box on my Defender 200TDi is dripping from the gasket, so I'm wondering if the size of O ring that fits on that black box thing (great mechanical language there I know) above one of the glow plugs (hope you know what I mean), is this the right...

I've just asked Rebel 4x4 if the guards come with any fittings/nuts/bolts etc and they said "no, it should use the existing bolts on the vehicle". What does this mean? What existing bolts? How have all of you fitted this, did you buy your own nuts & bolts? Don't think I'm being an idiot here am...
