300bhp/ton - thank you so much for the deep insightful post, a lot to take in where this is all new to me. Appreciate you taking your time, I'll give it a proper read and come back with any questions if any! tottot - mostly rough rocky terrain...

Need to get back into the zone on this so hopefully some updates coming. Does anyone have the following parts knocking around, preferably somewhere near Derby…? 200tdi rear bumper (no lights) 200tdi fuel pump/sender Top & bottom fuel tanks...

What age is your defender? Replacing your suspension with new standard springs and shocks will be an improvement if the current ones are original. Consider upgrading with the likes of old man emu.

Your fog light should only come on if you have your head lights on.(if you put high beam on the fog lights turn off) And if you are on glass fuses make sure you get a reading on both sides. These holders are prone to not working. Now if you...

Footwell replacement is going to be more difficult than anticipated. Someone has replaced them in the past and seam welded them in.🤔

Not sure if this is allowed on this site but feel it’s only right to share where people have helped us discovery owners when we are in desperate situations: I’m on holiday and I hit a pot hole just outside Penzance which tore off a newly fitted...

Ok so back story, I knew there was pressure building up in the front axle from when I changed the diff oil but kinda ignored it... Some time later I was changing the wheels over and noticed some play in one of the wheels. Suspecting a bearing I...

So I put some LED bulbs in my front indicators a while ago (300tdi, 1994, D90). I had noticed that when I attached the trailer the trailer lamp indicator only flashed once. Not too fussed so carried on. I decided to fit more LED's into the...

A bad earth. It’s nearly always a bad earth 😏

Thanks for the info guys. Now that I have looked into this a bit more, I have put this on the back burner. A normal frame tent will better suit my needs, looking at Cabanon brand which I have had previously (shouldn't have given it to my brother...

Hi and welcome! Tidy looking Landy.

ARB kit is good but expensive. I’ve been looking at an awning from 4x4 direct which is cheaper.

How do you fit, align and tweak a pair of series style doors on a defender? Answer : One Saturday 9-6, two pairs of hands and one rubber hammer 😂

Got a bit more done this morning, cam chain and sprockets off, rocker assemblies, pushrods, followers, cam, valley gasket and both heads. The head bolts were the tightest thing i've ever had to undo, broke one socket but managed to get it done...

Replaced the bushes on the lads 90. Pretty much shot....

Sorry to hear about this. I hope it’s recovered safely and those responsible are caught.

If you're over this way again lemme know, would be great to tag along! I've done this same lane a few times, but only the downward way like you, and I too did the sensible bit at the waterfall. Cracking little lane, and a few more around the area! 😊

Welcome to my refresh of my newly acquired series 3. Not going for a concourse car. Bellow are a few photos of the car, bulkhead is now off to fit a vent repair panel. Next job is to refit the bulkhead, replace inner and outer A pillars and...

Met @meego yesterday and had a look over it and found what seemed to be an embarrassingly simple fix to my steering rattle problem. Turns out one of the bolts on the top steering column UJ was loose as well as play in the front left side wheel...

Just to close this out, I removed the cylinder head. The head gasket had lost its integrity and was allowing combustion pressure into the coolant. All fixed with a head clean up and a new gasket.

Welcome back! +1 for Landy pics.

Hi and welcome! Great looking Landy and the best colour too! 😎

Hello, not long taken ownership of a series 3 88 in marine blue. Currently the series 3 is in bits, bulkhead repairs, footwells, A pillars and one vent repair. Small plate on the chassis to be stitched in. And lots of little bits. I...

Could be a hose but seeing as they are allisport i wouldnt suspect them but ill test them anyway. No warranty over 12 months old now Cheers 😁😁

Hi and welcome! Good to see an RRC. It looks tidy.

Hi and welcome! Make sure you also invest in some decent security measures too. Landies are very popular with thieves.

Rdx electric fan and switch fitted with a custom made loom, temporary made brackets made to hold the new expansion water bottle and power steering bottle. New indicator and wiper stalks fitted and all of the electrics tested. A few gremlins...

So ive got a slight inkling my Darkside intercooler may have split... Bit slow to come onto boost and in low revs/boost is coal rolling levels of smokey 😳 Its over due a service so that wont be helping either, but shouldnt be this bad! Going...
