:amen: Thank you for making me laugh

Sorry for not being more informative but i,ve seen clive from Blacksheep crossmembers on here and he seemed to be supplying a 90 for around the £450 mark. It might be worth searching and PMing him.

Sorry if it sounded like i was trivialising the post Jamie. I need to do something with mine and i,m going to start by boxing off the rear arches, insulating the floor and rear side panels with something like "kingspan" solid foam insulation. Another place i felt needed looked at was the seat...

If you mean the fusebox in front of the gear lever, i,d ask the question why? In all honesty, there is so much noise coming from everywhere and everything, i feel it would be a token gesture.

After working on the vehicle for the last 4 weeks, i took it to the MOT centre this morning and wohay! It passed with flying colours. The tester commented on how solid it was and about how tight the rest of the car was. Little did he know what a teabag it was when i got it but its always nice to...

Make sure all the unions and joints are tight. Did you make up brake pipes and replace any?

I decided today to cut up some old plywood and make up some rear tub liners for the 90. Marked it all out and started to cut with the circular saw. I was about 18 inches along my 1st cut when out of the dust extractor of the saw crawled this spider the size of a small tarrantula with a big fat...

Cheers, its on my list. It definitely hasnt been changed and i have known this car for 13 years albeit, it has only done around 3k in that time. Was only used as a 2nd vehicle and driving over a few fields, I,m not gonna do it myself though as i know a guy who works on Landys and he has the...

Not to worry on that point as the rear of the chassis was completely rotten. Too windy for them. If there are any left in it by now, their in for a rude awakening as i,m gonna pump burned oil into it soon. They could be the mice world equivalent of the Beverly Hillbillys for those of us old...

My daughter hates spiders and uses comkers about the house. It does seem to work as she never seems to have any around The only problem i see with conkers in the landy is that it,d cause a hell of a rattle every time you,d go around a corner

I,d have been happy with a wee spider. I found 2 bloody mice nests in mine under the bonnet insulation. Thankfully no one was at home when i called.

Thanks for the vote of confidence:) I,ve worked on a fair few british classics, triumphs, minis, rileys etc and they all same to be exactly the same as you say, something will be waiting to surprise you. This is a great site for info, help and a bit of banter. Going back to the starter problem...

Not sure what its like on the TD5 but i agree that it looks straightforward enough on the TDi. Hopefully wont come to that for a while. I only bought the landy mid september and i,ve already replaced the rear crossmember with one of Blacksheeps excellent products. Replaced 2 rear outriggers...

Thank you "gregsargent" Took the turbo pipe of and checked the terminals. Cleaned the 12volt ignition feed (white wire) and it seems to have sorted it out. Much appreciated.

Hi all, My 1995 300tdi has recently developed a starter problem. When you turn the ignition key, usually for the 1st start but can happen at other times, it will give one click. If i turn the key back, then try to start the vehicle again, it turns over fine. I have cleaned the battery terminals...

The defender i bought had been standing for a few months and had only been used perodocally over the past 5 years. The clutch pedal on it was exactly the same, seemed to operate ok bu the pedal only came up a 1/4 of the way then stuck. It wouls come all the way up if i pulled it manually. I...

I have this job to do in the future and was looking at the sets on ebay as well. Going by the picture you have posted, does the new barrel fit inside the sleeve thats on your old one?

Firstly, i,m going to apologise for sitting here and smiling like a cretin but i have this job ahead of me and tbh, i looked at the arm and thought, bet thats tight. Anyways, ive decided to go the replace the joint in situ route. I hope that you get it sorted, you have more patience than me as...

The Supermig has adjustable wire feed speed and 6 power settings but tbh, i tend to leave the wire speed alone once set and then only the power settings 1,2 and 3. havent welded anything yet that needed more grunt than 3.

I bought a Sealey Supermig 185 around 5 years ago and although not without its problems, it seems to weld pretty much anything i need. I did change the wire from .6 to .8 and this has made a massive difference. Much easier to fill any holes that usually appear with rusty metal.
