Mackers' Def 90 - Who needs Cloud Storage when you can have your own thread?

[Mackers]

I don't know why they put the rusty springs back on top of the shiney chassis. They're only 17 quid (the bog standard ones I have anyway)

My 90 has 2" lift HD springs, without any weight in the back it is horrible.

Cheers

yep, i wondered about getting an inch thick steel plate for the floor, but i just took them off in the end.
However with a couple of hundred KG in the back it was actually quite a good ride!

Used to use police spec springs on 90" Plenty of give & progressive with added weight. These were off range rovers

Only use HD so you don't know what weight I may have been carrying or towing.

change them for household radiator bleed plugs - much better option.

Hiya. Got em. I can tell the plastic one is the thermostat. Where's the top of rad one please?

 

[Kev12]

Its um...on top of the rad, one of the first things you see when you open the bonnet, but looking back at your pics it may have been replaced with a slightly different something

I've found the thermostat, so I'm assuming it's the nut with the bleed nipple. However, it's the wrong thread it would seem

check my amazing computer skills

Got a pic of what you are looking at and what you have in hand to fit, somebody can maybe then point out any issue

Done it. I'd steam cleaned the engine and bonnet this morning and dabbed a bit of kurust on affected parts. There was some plastic in the thermostat thread, so once I got it out (and dried off from the pink water that flew out), it went in. Topped water up now and another job done. When I say I love you all, I mean it in a 'feel the LZ community love' kinda way (not a gay way). Y'all give me the confidence to carry on with jobs when I'm thinking 'f%$k it, I'm packing up'.

now you can bleed the system when hot and pressurised ( if you have a rad key to hand)

@Mackers,

You see that smaller pipe that runs over the waterpump pulley. Make sure it is not rubbing on the pulley, 90% of 300tdi's you look at will have a groove rubbed in the pipe on the underside.

Cheers

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

should be a clip to pull it away from the pulley.

There normally is, but the bracket the pipe clips attached too is so wee and flimsy it gets bent when peeps lean in and work on the car, next thing they are making a groove in the pipe.

Cheers

Got my sticker a week late for my rear window. They wrapped it in card the exact same length as the sticker, with an instruction to tear a perforated strip off the card. Ripped right through the logo. Disappointed :0(

 

[marjon]

Opps, that will be a bunch of change put in the swear jar then.
I am sure if you are careful you can get it off the backing and stick on without the tear showing.

Worth a shot as it’s that or the bin

Yeah, I was hoping I could, and that the white backfround was just the pull-off card. I'm sure the outline of the old one on the old window was single letters though, or at least transparent background and not white. I'll have to have another google trawl for one that's not a white sticker.

Does anybody do a sticker that says
ITS A LANDROVER NOT A FOOKING JEEP!
