That's cracking folks, really appreciate the pointers. Will crack on with those this weekend

Evening folks. Hoping you can point me in the right direction. I have an early 90s Defender 90 2.5. Two issues. When its early or late in the day, and it's a bit damp, I get a heck of a squeeling when I lift the clutch through the lower gears. Eventually goes away, and not during the day when...

I went into a local fibreglass workshop and the guys said they could easily mould a tray shape that you could then permanently fix in place. Just wondered if there was anywhere already doing it. Could tell these guys weren't interested in the job.

Aye, that's exactly what I'm after, a garage someone recommends in the northeast. Just not an option to do the work in our communal car park. The neighbours would go beserk. I thought the waxworks site sounded too good to be true. Definite niche in the market up here.

Cheers Norseman

Morning folks. My ex-RAF 90 is getting a tad rusty in the old belly area. Where we live these days I can't undertake doing the job myself, so I'm looking for a garage/dealer based in the north east of England (ideally close to South Shields) that anyone has used and would recommend for blasting...

I've always thought there would be a demand for an aftermarket under body plastic shield type thingy that you could easily attach and would prevent the complaints of landy marking it's territory. Anyone know of any such thing?

Morning folks. I have a lovely H Reg ex-RAF 90. Basically, the whole underside is showing rather excessive signs of that lovely rust stuff. I waxoiled it myself a few years ago, and it looked lovely for 10 minutes, but it's all showing through again. Nothing serious, just not nice. Where I live...

Fantastic guys. That's exactly what I was looking for, and they are actually not too far away from me so can pop over to check I'm getting the correct parts. Thanks for that, much appreciated.

In case anyone is still following this thread, Eureka!!!! I recently replaced the knackered black plastic binnacle with a lovely Raptor powder coated one, so had to have the dials etc out, and low and behold, there was a little locking washer on the back of the temp gauge, which I decided to...

Folks, I have an ex-RAF 90 and of course the two bulkhead sections at the wing mirrors are starting to rust badly. I am looking for some guidance as to the best pre-fabricated repair panels to go for. I have got a local body shop guy who is going to cut out the old and weld in the new, then I...

Cheers Disco, will try that, new hazard switch is only a £5 so might just order one anyway, rule that out.

OK, here's a weird thing. Got in my truck to go home from work last night, and the indicators were working!!! So were the hazards. So, guessing I have a dodgy unit that is on it's way out and is now in the "intermittent" phase.

Down to the right, it has the hazard light rocker switch, some blank rocker switch to the left of the hazard that I've never worked out is for, and to the right I have a big red knob that you pull out to operate the orange light on the roof. Oooer.

Yes it does have the big NATO light switch in the middle, but it's never been a factor. It's either off or on full headlights at night time. Indicators have always worked regardless.

Afternoon folks. My beloved ex-RAF 90 has developed a wee Gremlin. All indicators and the hazard warning lights have stopped working. Had her for a good few years and no issues, just now when you move the stalk, no clicking, no dashboard display light, and no indicators working. Same for hazard...

Afternoon folks. I've got an ex-RAF 1987 90 2.5 diesel and the windscreen wiper blades have a bit of a mind of their own! 80% of the time they are fine, they sit kinda where they should and clear most of the screen. But then they have a wee mad moment and "clack" off the bottom of the...

Hi guys. Update. Got some gunk and cleaned off the oil off the outside of the wheel for a starter. Got myself a new black plastic centre hub cap (even though the old one didn't look split or damaged, but just thought I'd order it whilst ordering other bits at thesame time) and got some fresh new...

Hi flat, did you have any joy with this thread?

Spot on, can see the filler/drain plugs up on the gearbox. Do I just use EP90 transmission fluid? Plus, the bit I mentioned under the case where the gearstick is, a kinda oval section just down from the base of the gearstick (should take a pic shouldn't I !!!) that it appears to be leaking...
