    Time For A Change Of Colour!!!

    Knowing how we all like piccys, a couple of weeks back I decided it was time for my 1994 Defender 90 to celebrate his 20th birthday by moving on from the faded white with green algae highlights look! For ease and cost went for synthetic paint and hamilton brushes - colour chosen RAL 7026 -...

    300 Tdi - Change Transfer Box Ratio?

    May be swapping out the Transfer box - 1994 Defender 90 300 Tdi Beleive standard was 1.4 ratio but for road use 1.2 would give lower revs Any downsides to moving to 1.2? Would be interested in feedback from anyone who has done this - have seen a few threads suggesting well worth considering

    Intermittent Starting...

    Hi Had to swerve sharply to avoid some clown that pulled out in front of me Monday. Since then Landy (Defender 90 300 Tdi) has 'almost' not started 3 times Engine turns over fine, fires and then immediately dies - bit like when starting a 2 stroke petrol strimmer on full choke!)...

    Rear Hub Lock Nut Seized

    Hi the proper 52mm box spanner won't shift it, and neither will a chisel and heavy hammer blows. Have drowned it in penetrating fluid. Am I OK to apply heat? Cheers
