I fitted a Roamerdrive to my 300tdi 90. A word of advice- it's a heavy bit of kit and trying to install it in a confined space close to the handbrake is difficult. Once you have removed the blanking plate and are ready to fit it get some threaded rod or bolts with the head cut off and insert...

The cutter bar comes off very easily and the handles are held in by two u bolts so should reduce in size Ok. Remember they are A/F nuts.

Hi guys n Gals Went to fit the new FIP pin from Sweden and managed to break (well it crumbled!!) the gasket under the black cover in the unit attached to the cover. Can't Identify it :(( anybody out there help please. It's neoprene and covers the contacts. Regards Jerry

Hi all Having chewed up several of those little 10mm headed bolts when replacing my 300 TDI water pump I managed to find some replacement bolts for the three lower long bolts. I have five sets of three replacement bolts (13mm head!) spare so on a first come first served basis pm me and I will...

Just done 400+ miles Essex and back to collect a Rayburn in trailer >450kg. Trundled along at 55-60 quite happily as its M4/M25/A12 most of the way. Go any faster and you join the Q in front!!

Carling switches can replace your Rear Wash/Wipe switch but you need to modify the wiring to fit on the back of the other switches. Fitted Carling Switches to a Raptor console no problem. I've tried some sound proofing and all it was was felt like rough trimmed material which seemed to work but...

Just a suggestion If you use a multimeter then with the switch removed you should see 12v on the connector to the switch (assuming the opposite door operates the light OK). Ground the connector to some bare metal and the light should operate. If it does then the switch has a poor earth to the...

Hi The EBay book is a very good reccommendation. You will also need a good quality wiring diagram of your vehicle and some good quality tools and consumables - bad electrics on a veh can come back and bite you and when you have fried a loom, thats when you say "if only I had not cut corners...

Re the LED's glowing - When you have a transmitter pumping out quite a bit of power then it isn't all going up the Aerial. The electromagnetic field spreads out and can be picked up by any nearby wire and produce a voltage in that wire. The use of Ferrites and Capacitors is to either block...

Thanks very much for the info - It's out with the drill tomorrow!!! Cheers Jerry

Rik The CB unit is probably putting out some Radio interferance to your PC. I suggest you get some 'ferrite' blocks and run the PC fed through them just before it goes into the PC. Don't forget that your PC internally is running at hundreds of MHz and is probably susceptible to interferance...

I had similar prob, temp fix was two Exhaust clamps around the tube and two L brackets made up to support rear of tank. Be careful to get the position right as the filler pipe goes through a hole and you don't want to cut the rubber or bang goes your fuel again! BTW while your at it remove the...

I have just fitted a Roverdrive in my Defender 90 '97. The instructions are OK but I am willing to pass on my experience on the fitting side. Re driving it, there is a small whine which they say will fade after use as it "runs in". Noticable drop in revs with it engaged and they said it was...

Hi all Some advice please re the Heater box on LHS of bulkhead. I wish to fit a reversing sensor control box onto the heater box with a couple of self tappers. Is it OK to drill through the front face where the LandRover sticker is? As I am a one eyed Landrover Driver I need sensors on the front...

It's there now!

Here is my new toy! Just jumped in and drove it 195 miles easy peasy. Just need to fit trailer electrics 300TDi so loom in RH rear light cover. cheers Jerry

Hi all Just went mad and bought a 97 Defender 90. Want to use it for towing my Dexta Tractor on a trailer and for firewood. Drove loads of Landys in the Army (60's - 80's). Landy looks good, just wants a trailer socket. Retired but busy (good for your health) and also a Rotarian Regards Jerry...
