Hi and welcome. Btw you have a 1985 Ninety. Not a Defender. Defenders weren't introduced until 1990.

Welcome to lz!

Its a Ninety, Defenders werent made until 1990!

Couldnt be much bad about that!

One of the best all time landrovers, what engine have you got?

Danjo · Nov 22, 2016

Thank you. Just trying to work out forums as this is first time i used one. Will put up pics asap

Danjo · Nov 22, 2016

Its had a 200tdi conversion at some point. So i guesd they are refered to as simply a ninety?

Landrovers were always known by wheelbases, 88, 109, 90. 110. Then model names came in, thats where the rot started, more ways than one!

Yep, tis a 90, like mine, until it breaks down, then it gets called all sorts of wondrous names.......

Hehe well ive heard they have oil leaks and rain gets in.. both of which i have experienced since i got it 2 weeks ago . And a few niggly bits i might need sone advice to get sorted out.. such as no lights on the dials.. erratic wipers. And a cb radio instead of a stereo

Danjo · Nov 22, 2016

Will have to sort out photos of ot tommorow. Thanks for the greetings

No lights on the dials could be the interior / dial light switch in the wrong position, it's by your right knee when you're sat in the driving position. Mine has three switches in a row, hazard switch, rear heated window switch and interior / dial switch

Danjo · Nov 22, 2016

Switch does nothing. Mine has rear fog light, hazards then interior/dashlight switch which does nothing

Yes, ideal for off road driving at night!

This is the beast

If it doesn't leak oil out and water in, then there is probably something wrong with it

Yes the switch does nothing in any position. So no dome light or clock lights
