    Shock bushes... again...

    Just got back from a play out at Whaddon, and on the way back there was a bumping coming from the back which sounded like worn shock bushes. Now, I just replaced the bottom bushes because it was making the same annoying noise, and that fixed it. But they appear to have gone again. It's only been...

    Guess what? Seat question!

    Dear lads and ladies, I've been investigating putting a bench seat in the back of my 2007 puma 90 hard top so I can carry humans in the back... Now I have searched but it seems quite complex with a lot of legislation changes. So I was wondering, can I put a side facing bench seat in the back...

    Shocky bushes

    So my rear shock absorber bottom bushes are completely shagged... Causing an irritating bumping and knocking noise while driving over the smallest of bumps. I've ordered replacements and I know it's an easy job (if you can stop the stupid shock rotating, why the hell do they design them like...

    A little laning in Co. Durham

    Hey all, just been out for a cheeky little laning session near Wolsingham in Co. Durham, and thought I should put this up to get peoples' opinions... A little way down the track (probably half way) I came across this: Now, the walls of the ruts were probably about a foot deep to the...

    My New 90: Thoughs?

    Just went and viewed this: Any thoughts? I know a lot of people don't like the new shape defenders for being Transit vans, but I like Transit vans too! She's a 2007 90 County with roughly 39k on the clock... Drove perfect, no worrying noises, full service history, and some nice off road toys...

    "Keswick Green"

    I'd just like to gauge peoples' opinions here... What do you think of the LR colour "Keswick Green" I can't decide whether it looks utilitarian, or just ugly as hell... What does everyone else think? Trying to decide whether it's worth saving some money and buying my new (used) 90 in that...

    08/09 Defender 90

    Hey guys, I'm looking at getting myself a new style defender (the one with that funny looking lump in the middle of the bonnet), probably a model from 2008 or 2009. My qustions are: 1) Are defenders from these years still thrown together in such a way that they don't keep the air/water out...

    Loud knocking

    Hey guys, got a loud knocking noise coming from rear axle while rolling (in gear or out of gear). I had a look at the UJ and it looks fine to me, and had a wiggle of the wheels so I don't think it's the bearings. Also had a look at the diff oil level and that's full as well. I can feel a bump...

    flipping key fob

    Hey guys, I've done a quick search, but am in a real hurry so will post this here as well just in case... My disco key fob (oval type, single button, 1993 model) has stopped unlocking the doors. I replaced the battery and now it flashes once but does not unlock the doors so I think it needs...

    Worn Axle Splines? Clunk on braking

    Hey chaps... Starting a new thread instead of carrying on from the thread by Pollyrocket. I've just started noticing a single clunking noise when I brake whilst the car's rolling. I had a feel around with the handbrake on and it felt like the bumping was in the front diff... But having read...

    Diff Locks

    Hey, This may have been asked before, but I couldn't find anything searching... Why are there so many modded Landys (Discos in particular, but also Defenders) which have obviously had a lot of money spent on them, but which haven't had aftermarket diff locks installed? :confused: If I wanted...

    V8 hesitating

    Hey, Well, I thought I had sorted my problem, but my disco's engine started running rough again today... No stalling at idle any more, but now under load it's hesitating and producing a bumpy and jumpy acceleration, which feels like it's down on power. I've given up trying to do anything myself...

    Spark plug change - now misfire

    Hey guys, just changed my spark plugs to some "Bosch 503 WR78 Super 4"s (Halfords | Bosch 503 Super 4 Spark Plug x4) on my '93 3.5l v8 disco. Now I'm getting a misfire (I think... car's shaking a little bit, there's a dull tapping noise coming from one side of the engine and there's a...

    Motorway sluggishness

    Hey there, today I was driving north on the A1 from Leeds to Durham. When I got to the 50mph limit I slowed down and sat behind a lorry. At one point I put my foot down (50mph, 5th gear) to get the speed up for an upcoming hill, but instead of slowly surging power like usual, the car started...

    Disco will not move

    Hey, first of all, "hi". I'd like to introduce myself but I'm not having a great time right now haha. My 1993 3.5 V8i disco won't move. It'll start and go into gear, and it will drive in gear for about 1 foot before locking up and stopping. This happens in gear, out of gear, handbrake on or...
