    Tow bar - completley perplexed.

    What should have been an easy job has become something of a nightmare. I had ordered a Dixon Bate tow bar for my 1995 300TDi 90 only to find it didn't fit. Thankfully the eBay seller gave a full refund. Some on the forum here identified that the galvanised replacement chassis had a TD5 rear...

    Tow bar problems continued

    I am back in the UK and want to carry on the the quest of installing a tow bar on my 90. From the previous thread I started it appears that my 1995 300 TDi has been fitted with a TD5 galvanised replacement chassis.

I'm in the middle of fitting tree/rock sliders from Richmond Shotblasting and the existing bolt is being a bit difficult despite being soaked in WD40 for a week, so it may need...

    I can turn a spanner but................

    Bending chequer plate

    I have just received two chequer plate panels for the wing tops of the defender, the latter having been dimpled and distorted. The fit of the panels in plan view is fine but the front downward curve of the new panels is shallower than the curve of the original wings to the extent that when lain...

    Well I went and did it..............

    ..............I just bought a 1995 Defender 300 TDi. Unmolested and with a galvanised chassis. Seems to drive well although the brakes need a hefty welly to stop, but it pulls up straight.
