Morning all, Having sold my 90 last year, I wasn’t, sure a Landy would come my way again, but I saw a light weight near to me so put down a deposit. It was been molested a bit and stood still, hence a lot of surface rust, but hopefully, with a few chassis patches here and there and some...

Hello all, I am usually over on the Defender forum, but felt the expertise here would be model helpful. My daughter bought an 07 plate Freelander earlier this year. She spent quite a bit getting any minor things done, as she got it cheap. However, she noticed the clutch pedal kept going to the...

Hi all. Just gauging some opinions please About a year ago my 90 failed its MOT. Usual front outriggers ( back ones done) and some rot near the rear trailing arm mounts. So, spanner in hand I started dismantling with a view to fitting a galv chassis. Do it once was my thinking. Needless to...

Hello, I hope this isn't the start of feared issues. I went to start the D4 this morning. Normal procedure, pressed start button. Lots of clicking but no starting. Tried a few times, but had to leave it as was going out. Came back and tried again. Dead as dead now except for a constant high...

Well, ,a deal was done and having viewed many, with the help of your wise words, we are about to be the new owners of a v nice 10 plate Disco 4. I know. I know. What have we done? We could have bought a sensible 7 seater, but who needs sense? We loved our D2 so we plumbed a nice example, with...

Hello all. It’s been a while since posting on the forum. It’s usually been about my 90, but here I find myself asking about the Disco 4. We have had a 1,2 missed the 3 and have jumped straight to looking at a 4. It seems to fit the bill for what we need with the dogs and kids ( or the other...

Hello all. I have been absent for a while whilst dismantling my 90. It's been a longer process than it should have been. (I did buy a Jimny to fill the gap...that's another story) I was in Craddock's the other day enquiring about buying a galv chassis. They told me that unless I buy one soon I...

Hi. Just removing the roof on my 90. All the bolts are out as far as I can tell. Loose at the back and pivots forward, but the front above the screen seems more stubborn. I don't want to force it. Are there lugs that locate at the front or is it just likely to have been siliconed in so will just...

Well, it's was that time of year all 90 owners fear with a mixture of dread and certainty. Certainty that the MOT will be failed and dread not knowing what it will fail on. Needless to say it failed. The front outriggers I knew about but all the other suspension mounting points........not so...

Hi. I have just replaced an old very knackered uj on my front prop. Two sides had no needle rollers left in. The ujs weren't fit that long ago in mileage terms which made me wonder whether or not there was undue wear. I have searched on here (and elsewhere) and read mixed opinions as to the...

I knew I should have left this alone. But no! The catch on my 90 stopped working on the key. It just spun. The inside catch seemed to work which was okay when someone sat inside. Anyway, I took it apart. I think there are broken bits of the two larger springs but the small spring also came...

I have been pondering an issue I have with the steering on my 90. It tends to be on full lock, more often when reversing. There is a sort of squealing noise, like the belt, but don't think it is and a sort of judder as the steering goes through its movement. Sometimes pulling away, again...

Well it started off as a straight forward job. Split rubber on drop arm ball joint so order up a new ball joint kit and extractor. All other steering joints done as MOT advisory (well not all but whilst there), easy removal of old ball joint, all greased and back together....that is except for...

Well the rear wheel is off again on my 1987 Landy 90 and the usual cleaning off the residual diff oil from around the inner wheel. Leaking out of the end cap, again (not past the seals and on to the brake shoes which is fortunate). Breather is clear, so I am now wondering, could it be the flange...

Hi, We are selling our heavy duty roof rack off our Disco 2 as we now have no need for it. It is the one sold by Direct 4x4, I think called the Titan. We added a chequer plate with a 3mm rubber mat for better loading and more stability when standing on it. It also stops the mesh vibrating. It...

Hi chaps, The main things on my recent 90 MOT failure is the rear out riggers on both sides. So, off with the old one and then pause before taking off too much with the grinder. When the new one arrived, helpfully sent by Craddock's, who didn't have it in stock, despite them saying they did, it...

Well, the day of doom came this week and my 1987 90 failed its MOT on rear outriggers, hole in the chassis and many advisories. Great! Anyway, I decided, whilst waiting for my outriggers to come, to tackle the leaking hub oil seals. Now on reading many a post on these, it just says to punch in...

Having noticed that the lights on my 90 are nigh on hopeless, (not long had it) rather than the expense of LED I have just bought a set of Wipac upgrade. Easy job!! Well the KBX surround is held on by two screws on the grille side, but what of the other? I tried undoing the indicator and...

I did a search for this and it didn't come up on the site, so apologies if it has been mentioned. I came across this film on Netflix the other night. It's about the injustice of the treatment given to an Irish army company acting as peace keepers for the UN. Suffice to say it was a good film...

Well I decided to try and have matching door locks on my 1987 90, so bought some new barrels and thought I would start with the rear door. So, easy enough to take off. Then look for the little plunger and wiggle the key, as per searches I made. Couldn't see a plunger. I know thought I, let's...
