Hello all,
First time landy owner here so apologies if i ask the obvious questions, so please go easy 🤣!
Bought and collected a 1989 Defender 90 with a 200tdi engine at the weekend as a on going project! Already changed the headlight and tinted the rear windows so it doesnt feel so much like being in a gold fish bowl...

Look forward to chatting with you all in the future!

Hi and welcome!

Very tidy looking Landy! I’ve got a 90 of the same age with a 200Tdi.😁

It looks tidy from a far, theres a few bits i need to touch up and sort, need to sort a new rear door as it has rusted away quite badly on the bottom bar on the frame but the door skin is still in good nick thankfully.

Here you go, not managed to tidy it up as it seems to been left in a mess when i got it. It doesnt seem to have an air filter so i assume the previous owner had a snorkel with a mushroom filter on top but removed it as there are threaded holes on the A pillar on the passenger side.

Looks like a copy of mine when I got it!
 
Yes you certainly need an air filter.
Does it have a radiator fan?
Looks like the wiring needs a bit of attention.
Cambelt change and a good service of all fluids, keep you busy for a while.
Has it been sat around for a while?
