Don't forget, the military Ninety (not 90), is a hybrid mix of Series 3 and civilian build Ninety parts. Supposedly so that REME could use common parts on the older and newer Landys. I've had problems fitting aftermarket exhaust components (second silencer and final tailpipe) from different...

Discool's answer, "As slow aspossible, as fast asnecessary" needs a little explanation. "As slow aspossible", so a warm engine doesn't stall or become lumpy on tickover. That's applicable to all cars. Where things are different on the Landy is in how fast is "as fast asnecessary". In 1st...

Thanks, Obg. Good idea to keep the water from running down the door shuts. By the way, I decided to spray some water repellent behind the modified (aftermarket) door seals and, when I was doing this, found a 1/4" hole had rusted through the bulkhead. Fortunately, I've caught it in time for...

First, let me say there's an excellent video on diagnosing Land Rover engine oil leaks on the Internet. They show an expert mechanic telling a young woman 4x4 driver what to look for and giving step-by-step instructions and diagnostics. See my further post, after Huddy84's reply. Ok, a bit of...

Check your lubrication. If it's the typical white grease that Land Rover use, it can turn to the consistency of wax in v.cold conditions. I'm talking about the lubrication that allows the drive cable to move inside the plastic (Bowden cable) tubing. I fixed mine by spraying a thinner lube (e.g...

Ogb , when you say the "gutter", are you referring to the gutter of the roof (above the windscreen) or the guttering beneath the bonnet? (A photograph would be useful.) -- Thanks, Rick.

LAUNDRY SOFT RINSE / FABRIC SOFTENER IS YOUR MIRACLE GLASS TREATMENT Landyowner suggested using washup liquid after thoroughly cleaning the inside windows with vinegar. The vinegar thoroughly degreases the glass, while the washup liquid contains something called a Surfactant, which is a water...

Just been diagnosing and fixing a couple of footwell water leaks on my 1897 Ninety. Problem was compression of the door seals at the arch above the top door hinges. The hollow D of the seals was getting over compressed and the seal was distorting. This allowed water ingress by capillary action...
