Hi guys! Had my td5 for nearly 9 years, with virtually no problems at all. As the weather has dropped over the last couple of weeks I've noticed my oil light taking a ever so slightly longer to extinguish once the engine is turned on. Over the past week it seems to stay on about 1 second until...

Hi guys! I follow a Landy page on IG and they have just put this post up, thought I'd share on here as the more views it gets the better! Defender 90 stolen from Sheffield.

Hi guys! My td5 90 has started to weep through the bottom 2 rad hoses when it gets nice and hot after/during heavy towing, and I guess its finally time to renew the lot for peace of mind as they are all 24 years old and I don't want one to go pop on me. I've done a load of online searches and...

I know it's a bit hopeful, but I'm after one of these, in my opinion the very epitome of a proper Landy. My 8 year old is expressing a very keen interest in Landrovers so looking g for a project. Any condition considered, doesn't need to have engine/gearbox, but body ideally to be complete...

Hi guys! I've got a new set of wolf rims in for painting and I quite fancy fitting either of these tyres on her. They don't look too aggressive for a mud terrain, and this will suit my needs perfectly, the general at's I have on are nearing their end of life for me as I do a fair amount of...

Hi chaps! Dropped the oil on the diffs and transfer box yesterday, the transfer box one was a bit over due, I usually do it every 8k but did it at 12k this time, found a big bit of bronze type metal (I think from the bush that's by the diff) , is this a major cause for concern or should I start...

Hi chaps! Was wondering if any of you intelligent folk know what the standard rear HD coil spring is rated at lb wise. These are standard on the Defender 90 td5 because the fuel tank hangs over the rear axle. I have these on at the moment, but I bought them a fair few years ago and they are...

Went to drop the oil out of the axle for the forthcoming atb diff install and the crap that came out was orrible! Basically rebuilt the axles 6 years ago and change diff oil regularly, both Cv internal seals have blown, I'm thinking I may of put too much grease in (I seem to remember giving a...

Selling these steel modular wheels, suits all Defender/RRC/Disco 1. Used as secondary offroad/winter set, buying new steel rims and rubber. They look tatty with surface rust starting to appear (as per pics) but all strong and undamaged, good for trialling etc or cleaned up and a lick of...

Hi guys! Selling 4 Michelin xzl's, I've used them daily and greenlaning, but I'm buying some new wolf rims and new rubber for the wolfs, I had these mounted on a set of 7x16 modular (also for sale) as a secondary set for the rough stuff, fairly worn but still grippy, very hard wearing. Would...

Hi all! I'm thinking of taking out the Ashcroft atb from my rear diff and installing it in the front. With the 90 being relagated to purely a second, fun vehicle I'm not so concerned with the few quirks that a full locker in the rear gives when 'unlocking' around corners on the road, and with...

Hi all! We're in the middle of a house move, so borrowed the box trailer from work, towed all day, everything fine, dropped off trailer in yard, totally unladen Landy on the drive home, in top gear I decided to put my foot down a bit more than usual (usually potter around the 45-50 mph zone on...

Hi all! Can anyone give me 100% positive confirmation that a Rangie chassis and disco 1 chassis are the same, as regards body mounts? I basically need a chassis under a project 2 door. I don't care about originality as it won't be sold, my rangie chassis is now an 88" and my old man has a...

Hi All, thought I could get under the Landy and wire brush and paint the axles (as I didn't do this when I swapped chassis), they are looking a little bit scabby, just on the surface. I've used hammerite on the fuel tank guard (td5) which has been good, probably because I thinned it slightly...

Hi All! My 90 has done 135k ish and when I first bought it (5 years ago) I had terrible trouble changing from 1st to 2nd, and under hard acceleration from 3rd to 4th. The problem as we all know is fairly worn syncro's. Anyway, I changed the oil as soon as I got it home and put atf fluid in, as...

Hi guys! I'm looking for a set of tough tyres f or a second set of rims I have for greenlaning forays, offroading and general off road work, I currently have some xzl's that are running low on tread and these have proved on the whole very robust, although shìte in the snow, and hopeless at...

Hi all! I must of had my defender remapped by Mike at Dynachip for a good four years now. It goes well, and has had a dramatic effect on pulling heavy trailers etc. I fitted a straight through exhaust a while back and this dropped the torque curve a fair amount which was awesome, however I was...

I know, I know, not ANOTHER bloody tyre thread... :) I have one question, Im usually running general grabber at2's during the week, and swapping the xzl's on for the weekend laning/offroad, I am finding the xzl's not to great on exiting deep troughs on old lanes and tbh, I would like a totally...

Hi all! When I put a new chassis under my 90 four years ago I replaced the fuel filter housing (where the fuel filter screws on) as when I unbolted the original it crumbled in my hands. I was amazed it didn't effect the running because the fuel lines plumb into it. Anyway, was under this...

Hi guys! In the next couple of months I'm planning on tackling the rebuild of my series 3 4 speed gearbox. As yet, I haven't really looked into any 'kits' as such, but I thought this would be a good place to ask... I don't want any britpart bearings etc, can anyone recommend a kit that includes...
