    D90 Rear Light Cluster Question

    Hi All, after some time abroad, now getting round to fitting NAS LED lights to the rear of my 1996 300TDi. They're a mix of new and second-hand lights but all residing in new, standard height, plinths. The issue I have is that the two reversing lights (Le Perei) have a long extended inner rear...

    Rear Inner Arch Mud Slinger

    I'm looking to put some sort of rear inner arch protection on my D90 to help deflect mud and water from the multitude of orifices, traps and shelves that make up the chassis and tub. Experiments with heat-formed acrylic have had mixed results, so anyone experience of commercial systems (Lokari...

    D90 eBay Ad - Suspicious?

    Just spotted this ad and, although I'm not in the market to buy another Defender, this TD5 looks great, but I'm a tad suspicious for some reason. Cynical or what! eBay Post

    Defender 2020 Update

    Just caught this little nugget in AutoExpress today; looks like the new Defender is on the home straight! Post this, not to inflame the old diehards who crave for the Defender 90 and 110 production lines to start up again, but to highlight the next step in JLR's somewhat rocky journey in trying...

    The Case For Using A Boost Pin And/Or Boost Ring?

    I've read a lot and watched a number of YouTube videos on the reasons why one should 'upgrade' your Defender performance with a boost pin and/or ring. Invariably, the suppliers of these items are all over the forums and social media promoting and justifying the case for doing these upgrades; as...

    Defender 90 Fuel Tank Question

    As part of a refurb, I removed the fuel tank to inspect and assess its condition. There's a shed-load of surface rust and possibly more significant corrosion between the tank and it's support cradle, plus, along the seam where the two join around the tank. My question is, can the cradle be...

    Defender Conversion To Soft-top - DVLA Issues?

    I'm intending to convert my D90 to a soft-top in the next few months (overhaul has greatly delayed this so far!) and I'm assuming the V5 will need amending and with that, some form of vehicle check, or maybe not? Appreciate that the Defender soft-top is a standard variant of the vehicle, but...

    Boomslang Lighting Harness

    Hi, was thinking of purchasing one of these and some upgraded bulbs and was wondering if anyone had any recent experiences with it? Read on some older threads that some thought the length of the harness was a tad short and others reported it as OK, so bit of a mixed bag; although the end result...

    300TDI Intercooler Question

    On removing the radiator and intercooler, I noticed what can only be described as the remnants of a rectangular piece of foam that was stuck down one side of the intercooler. Little remained of it, but it was about12mm in height and ran most of the length of one side. Not sure if this was an...
