Hi all, Being a Defender guy, I'm a complete noob in Freelander stuff. My better half owns a 2004 Freelander, with the facelift dash. It has the integrated radio, but I wanted to give her an upgrade with a Bluetooth capable radio. Is this possible? Will the use of the steering wheel controls...

Hi all, Quick question, I can't find anywhere the reference for the steering wheel center (horn button) LR badge on a 1998 non air-bag Disco 300Tdi Anyone knows it? Thanks in advance

Hi guys, Next year I really want to add some traction upgrade to my 90 300Tdi. It is a daily driver, commuter, travel/expedition vehicle and also sometimes weekend warrior. I know, that's a lot to cover. I don't really have interest in selectable lockers, don't want to drill the diff housing...

Hi all, Needed to mount my second spare on the bonnet for an upcoming Africa expedition. My fears were confirmed, the striker spring is too weak for the spare (Wolf wheel + 255/85R16 KM2) so it wont pop the bonnet without help. Is there any bonnet striker specific to be used with the spare on...

Hi all, I'm on the market for a winch (finally...). My landy is a Defender 90, which i use for weekend offroading, daily driving and overlanding, so no winch challenge or other competitions here. 3 options: Superwinch Talon 9.5 - +- the same price as the Goodwinch? - big brand, so easy to get...

Hi all, Was checking with a friend and noticed his Discovery 300Tdi has a GVWR of 2720kg. My Defender 90 with the rear HD springs has a GVWR of 2550kg. Any reason why the Discovery has a higher GVWR, given they share axles, etc? Thanks

Hi all, Quick question, can find any hint anywhere. Are the Southdown snorkels guys still in business? I tried to contact them through Ebay several times with no answer. Did the same with the email address they have at the website (very web 1.0) and no answer still. Anyone spoke with them...

Hi all, Another suspension thread.... (don't get me started on tyres) My 300TDI 90 currently has the following setup: Front - NRC9448/9 springs (normal 90 rear, HD 90 front) with RBC100111 Disco2 rubber isolator cones Rear - RKB101240/30 HD progressive springs with ANR2938 spring isolators...

Hi all, I've had the normal clamp on diff guards for 3 years. The front one has taken some hard hits and did it's job. The rear one is virtually new... Anyway, I've had some problems with them, the front one fell off one time, and it's quite hard to clean the mud inside. I was considering to...

Hi all, My transfer box (300tdi) has stripped drain plug threads. I noticed that while tightening the plug on the last oil change. It got tight enough to seal and stay in place, but I'll have to change the oil soon and need a solution. First of all, I'm assuming the original thread is a...

Hi all, I need load space that my 90 lacks (to the point that I was considering a LWB Patrol Y61...until I got inside one). 110s here are crazy expensive, so I'll get a roof rack for mine. I want a classic look and I'm putting together sort of a Camel Trophy inspired build. Brownchurch racks...

Hello, Just a quick question I can't find the answer anywhere. On the sided suspension springs (like the NRC9449/NRC9448) the diver side/passenger side means actually the driver's side on LHD or RHD vehicles or it means the right side of the vehicle (driveline) or left side? I know, probably...

Hello all, Was checking rock-sliders.co.uk and noticed they have a tubular winch bumper for the Defender. It looks nice and the price is about half of the usual for those pieces. Land Rover Defender 90/110 Front Winch Bumper Buy Direct from the Manufacturer Does anyone here has any...

Hello, My Defender 300tdi had a new bleed pipe hose (the Y one to the expansion tank) replaced in January. I noticed a small leak at the plastic junction last month, and then a week ago the thing busted.... My mechanic said it was a defective unit and replaced it with an original one. My...

Hello, So a week ago I changed the oil and oil filter of my 90 300tdi as usual. Some 100 miles later I checked the oil level and it dropped from the max where I left it to the minimum. I corrected the level, but then noticed that there was some oil on the floor. I traced it to the oil...

Hello, Here goes the dumb question of the week: I was in low range first gear and the engagement of the handbrake made the car stall. Is it possible to have damaged or weakened something due to the big forces involved? The first answer will win the explanation of how this happened, I bet...

Hello, To my surprise, I've found at the end of my last two or three drives that I had the diff lock engaged. I confirmed at the beginning that the lock was off, so it seems that it jumped into the "ON" position by itself. The car is a Defender 90 300tdi Has anyone ever had this...

Hello, My 90 300tdi had all the usual stuff renewed, water pump, clutch, adjusted swivel pins, etc. The steering was not perfect, but I always assumed it was like that, a Defender steering. The little klunk it made during take off and braking was always assumed to be from the usual A-frame...

Hello, The temp gauge on my 300tdi used to run just an air under the middle, everytime, any time. 2 weeks ago the water pump died on the run. It was quite fast, was driving at 60km/h when the auxiliary belt jumped off and I lost the alternator, PS and the pump. There was no time for the...

Hello I'm thinking about renewing my Defender suspension this year. The current one is quite tired and sagging an inch to the right side. First of all let me describe my car and it's use. It is a 1995 90 300tdi, with no anti-roll bars, and with 110 front springs fitted by the previous...
