Yes its february, but I am looking to do a custom A/C install on my TD5 defender to take the edge of the summer heat, as I will be doing some long trips this year, therefore looking for some inspiration. I don't like the fact the factory option or kits seem to take up what little space is left...

Any genuine TD5 rev counters available, or retailers with stock? Thanks James

Any links to any threads available detailing the exact differences between the run of the mill J and L suffix R380's to suit TDI/TD5's Stashed under the bench is a J suffix gearbox that was stripped down due to a c clip failing taking a chip off the 5th gear pinion, the box drove well with no...

All sorted, please delete.

24 spline rear diff. 3 bolt flange, but can remove for buyer if they wish to fit their 4 bolt one. £25 4 bolt steering box. Tight unit, but needs a seal kit throwing at it. I will include the seal kit. £15 R380 gearbox, stripped for rebuild. Just needs a 5th gear due a circlip falling out and...

For sale is my 1995 defender 90 truck cab, with 156000 miles. I have owned it for 3 years and enjoyed every minute of it. A new job means I require something smarter and more suited to long distance driving. The bulkhead and chassis outriggers have not been welded. The rear crossmember has...

After my local auto spares place managed to order me in the wrong unit, I was wondering if anyone here had one lying round before I try again. Thanks James

There seem to be endless threads on fuel economy but here we go again. I am toying with fitting a 3.9 litre injection v8 into my fairly standard defender 90. I will assume 15-18mpg is about as good as I can expect straight out the box, for normal road driving say between 55 and 60mph. With a...

For sale is a pair of 90 van sides with rear windows, java black and in excellent condition, Bar the odd mark here and there. Complete with all seals. The large mark in the photo of the outside is just dust. I bought these last year, but have subsequently bought some csw sides, so they are...

Evening all. I've provisionally sorted a roof now, and fixed the starter motor (hopefully!) Alternator anybody? Cheers

Well I didn't expect to be throwing a 10 year old cooker away, but its looking like this may be the only option. I am trying to source a top oven/grill thermostat switch or energy regulator as they seem to be known for a 'Stoves' 800 DF DOM oven and the bloody part is now obsolete. I have been...

Quick question. Are the 4 bolt type flange ones the same length off both vehicles? Just trying to open up options as my defender one has taken a whack. Been offered a disco one and want to confirm it will fit. I'm struggling to find a definitive answer despite searching. Edit. I meant the...

I have been chasing a vibration at between 35 and 45 miles an hour under load. having removed the front prop shaft and driving up the road in difflock it dissappears. The vibration can also be a sort of drumming vibration when say giving it the beans in 4th out a 30 limit or something up a hill...

My defender has shed its balance weights and is causing a nasty vibration. Anyone have a good used one close to Salisbury or possibly Newbury? Preferably with good uj's although I have one spare available to fit. Thanks James

Does anyone know his username? I have managed to contact banned user Andrewc23 who was breaking that disco about a part that was overdue, I now believe the matter has been resolved. In his email to me about the bits he asked me to see if you can be contacted as I believe you are still owed...

There's no denying it, defenders really do have innovative ways to make your life difficult! Todays issue is that the drivers door is locked shut. No amount of fiddling the locks inside or out will make the damn thing open. The barrel in the door turns with the key, the internal lock moves up...

Good evening. I am after a tall 4 bolt flange or whole diff. I bought a 3 bolt diff hoping to just transfer the flanges across to fit my defender, but clearly the 4 bolt flange is a lot shorter. Thanks.

This is probably one of the more unusual requests but here goes. While I tinker with land rovers, I also have a classic mini for which I am planning to build a fairly extreme 16v turbo engine. The project hinges on my obtaining a crankshaft or 2 from SA. I require a crankshaft, preferably...

Good evening. My 300tdi has just turned to 148ish thousand miles and I am planning a few tweeks in the future. Bigger intercooler, up boost to 16psi and give the fuel diaphram a bit of a tweek. When idling cold it puffs a little (very very little) blue smoke, but soon clears when it gets a...

I have been examining mine today as it felt like peformance was a little lackluster and it has a split in it. Does anyone have one from a knackered injector pump going spare? Thanks James
