    Defender 90

    I'm a young landy driver too ! i say **** it get one, mine costs half it costs a mate to insure his fiesta, make sure you get a van though, with two (or three) seats then you'll never have to give lifts ! plus you'll always have something to do ( it will break all the time !) :cool2:

    td5 dash

    I have a 1999 td5 and so it has the tdi style grey dash panel, i prefer the newer style black td5 dash and wondered if it is a simple job of swapping the panels and bolting the centre console in or if it is too much effort to bother thanks !:)

    transfer box

    hi i have a 1991 200tdi 90 with lt230 transfer box the transfer box leaks oil out of the front flange which i understand is an easy fix. However there is also a huge amount of play in the transmission which i believe is down to the worn transfer box so i am thinking of replacing the box. i have...
