hi wantaquad, if you PM me with your address I will send you the relevent part of the land rover manual.

further to my previous post about my battery discharging overnight,I have narrowed it down to the alternator. with the positive lead off the battery I connected a meter between the possitive lead and the possitive post on the battery and I had a leak of over 3amps after a sugestion by a forum...

it's been on the back for the two years that I have owned it

the outside edge of one of my rear tyres is wearing more so than anywhere else, it is only one tyre defender 90 200Tdi 1991 is it trying to tell me something?

I have access to a 20 ton press to do my bushes but it is 20 miles:confused: from home, as long as I don't need my land rover for a day or so, would it be OK to remove both radius arms and possibily the panard rod in one go or should I just remove,(and then re-fit) one item at a time?

whilst I agree that there is not a lot we can do to prevent a determined theif from stealing our vehicles, the police told me that 9 out of 10 car thefts are carried out by opportunists who thiink they will "give it a go" so a nice bright yellow disk (or similar) will make 9 out of 10 t***s...

forgot to say , it's a 200 Tdi defender 1991

Got the old girl back from MOT to-day and to my great surprise she passed. Now, I'm not one for hanging around when they say "yes it passed" so when I got home and looked at all the test results I was a bit mystified. Smoke test. peak 1. 2.53 m-1 peak 2. 1.01 m-1 peak 3. 0.96 m-1 peak 4...

I shyed away from sorting out play in my swivel joint until I had to replace a track rod end and then (once the TRE was removd ) I put a spring ballance on the swivel and found NO resistance. Took one shim out and got my readings. result, no wheel wobble and an MOT pass..

It's leaking from where the steering shaft enters the box

I have a 1991 def. 90 Tdi with a leaking steering box. It is a six bolt jobby but I have been told that originally it would have been a 4 bolt. I have noticed that 4 bolters are more thick on the ground that 6-ers, my question is, what should be there and can I replace my 6-er with a 4-er?

in preperation for an impending MOT, today I changed the rear brake shoes and drums on my 90. When I had fitted the drum I couldn't slacken the shoes off enough to turn the drum. My drive is on a slope so I checked that it would roll back with just the weight of the vehicle and it did, so I did...

what did the side of the river look like? if it was dead posh then you were on the Manchester side, if it was a bit "coronation streety" then that would defo be the Salford side. HO HO HO HO! only jokin' I was born and brought up in Manchester and me mam was born and brought up in Salford. God's...

you either live in salford or manchester. salford is one city and manchester is another, the river irwell seperates them, sorry to be a pedant .

what's involved in removing the rear bulkhead?

on new years eve, some t**t tried to steal my defender 90 200tdi, they didn't succeed but made a mess of my dash and smashed the steering shrouds. Anyway they have pulled off the wires from the ignition switch and I can't work out where they go back. On the back of the ignition switch there are...
