    Canvas for a 90 - full jobby

    My 90 has a canvas full tilt - back, cab, the lot - and as what passes for summer hoves into view I'd rather like to peel it off and pretend to have a convertible for as many of the sunny days as possible. All good so far, however the canvas that I have might as well be made of lace in parts...

    What's your interpretation?

    So you are trundling along a legal highway and you encounter the dreaded flying motorcycle sign (over a car in a red circle) that effectively tries to ban all motorised vehicles... ..."Except for Access"... What's your interpretation of "access" and perhaps more importantly what's the...

    How hot is too hot?

    Just a quick question around how hot an engine runs before it is too hot and breaks something catastrophic... So I've got a 1987 90 with a 200tdi Disco engine transplant and I wondered how hot your temperature gauge indicates before you start going into a blind panic? Mine seems to run...

    How can I tell what sort of Gearbox I've got?

    Hi, I've a 1987 Defender/90 and want to know what gearbox I've got. It started life as a Turbo Diesel 2.5 and at some point since then it had an engine conversion to a Discovery 200tdi. If truth be told I think it was a bit of a bodge job but after various headaches it now works pretty well...

    Paddock Diff Guards - hammer required?

    Hi, I had the pleasure of doing Cam High Road at the weekend and then heading north and going the back way to Hawes. If you've done that way you'll know there's a dirty great stone step (as featured in LRM a couple of issues back) that isn't the easiest of downhills to negotiate. Just after...

    RAC/AA for Off Road casualties - i.e. places most tow trucks can't get to

    My attempts to scour the internet have thus far failed so apologies if it's yet another repeat thread. I live in Leeds, I've got a Defender 90 with a 200TDI and a huge number of problems. That's the Landy - not me. I was up on the moors north of Patley Bridge (North Yorkshire) the other...

    My continuing Defender mystery - 200tdi exhaust downpipe

    I have done lots of searching (please don't tell me off) and I can't find a topic exactly like this one. Exhibit A: If I've sussed how to use images you can hopefully see my downpipe connecting to the side of the turbo on my 200tdi (discovery version) that's on my 1987 90 (formerly...

    Lights kill engine stone dead (any lights)

    After some advice if possible. I've got a 1987 Defender/90 with 200Tdi engine conversion. Sometimes, only sometimes - maybe 50% of the time, and only in the first 30 minutes of being fired up, my Landy kills the engine whenever a light is switched on. These lights could be activated via...

    In the spirit of cordial relations "hello, I'm Dan and I'm addicted to Land Rovers"

    Hello. I've jumped the gun somewhat by creating two threads prior to my introducing myself but I was giddy with excitement (and self-loathing) just having bought a 1983 Series 3 van back Land Rover and wanted to make it driveable. ...turns out that there wasn't so much of a fault with it and...

    Series 3, 2286 diesel, fuel leak - help please!

    Hi, I have a 1983 Series 3, 2286 diesel. It has plenty of MOT but I took it to the test station to get an idea of where it was currently failing. Result - test abandoned after two minutes due to a "dangerous" fuel leak. I've had a look and this is where the leak is: 1. Each...

    Possibly suicide is the only way out - Series 3 info request

    Hi all, I've just joined the forum after many moons of looking at all the helpful advice having just become an owner of a Series III. It's 29 years old (A-Reg), van type (just windows in the door at the back - none on the sides) and a 2286 diesel. Basically I got it for an absolute bargain...
