I'm trying to find some replacement bits to secure my air filter box (at the moment, all four mountings have broken so it rattles like a goodun) Judging from the remains that are there, the parts I need are like two bolts joined by a rubber section in the middle. I've found some discussions of...

Following Ratty's advice, I want to use a fuel shut off solenoid with the immobiliser I'm going to fit. Is this the kind of thing I should use? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fuchs-Shut-off-Solenoid-In-Line-Diesels/dp/B009YXRGZ6

In the hopes of making my replacement 300Tdi 90 harder to steal than the last one, I've bought a Cobra 8510 Immobiliser to fit (along with a tracker which is on its way from Ryder and some other hardware) The instructions don't have much explanation with them so I'm a little unsure about the...

Gutted to say that my Defender 90 was stolen last night from the pub carpark next to my house. Description: Green Defender 90 County 1994 Reg: M772 WTP Distinctive features: Bull bar on front Plug in electric heater mounted above steering wheel Right rear mudflap hanging by a tiny bit of...

I am now officially at war with the big nut for the viscous fan on my 300tdi Defender. I have the correct viscous fan spanner for it and I've tried everything I could find in previous threads on the topic to budge it but it just will not loosen in the slightest. I am trying to loosen it...

A bit of wacking with a hammer has revealed some corrosion on both of the bulkhead outriggers (should have been more thorough before buying :( ) Is this level of corrosion repairable or should I get replacement outriggers fitted? The rest of the chassis has some surface rust but no serious...

Picked up my first Defender today. Very excited! :) Everything seems good apart from like a complete idiot I didn't check all the locks. The drivers door is fine but the passenger door and rear door won't lock with the key :(. They lock from the inside at least. Guess I'm going to have to fit...

Newbie question here - couldn't find the answer after a fair bit of searching. Below is a picture of the defender I have just bought :) It's a 1994 90 300Tdi County Hard Top. Everything seems standard apart from the bullbar on the front. Would this have been an aftermarket fit and thus...

Got insurance on my first Defender yesterday. Have to say it was a bit of an arse to sort - no decent prices from comparison sites so I ended up giving our details over and over again on the phone to various companies. Turned out the combination of a hardtop 90 (counted as a van by most...

Hi everyone, I am planning on buying my first Defender soon and I've been scouring these forums (and others) for information on what to look for when viewing potentials. I'm not expecting any Defender I can afford to tick all the boxes but at least I should have an idea of what work I'm going...

Hi everyone, After many years of yearning for a defender I'm finally seriously looking for one to buy. I want a defender partly because I just love them, partly because I want something I can work on myself and partly because I want something that will handle winter road conditions and enable...
