If running it with the cap of doesn't get rid of it (it should) or squeezing top hose, try and borrow a radiator pressure tester (a pump with a fitting which goes on to the rad cap - probs need to use an adaptor on a LR, and use it on the expansion tank, it pressures it up to check for leaks -...

This is for my 90 Hard Top. Im am looking at getting some 50mm thick, 1.5m long tracmats. I only want them for when I go offroad. I am thinking of attaching them to the outside, by drilling 4 holes in the sides of the hard top (at the bottom, near the bar that holds the sides to the vehicle)...

Why are my bench seats just bolted down with two bolts then...they are original rear bench's from '91 90 County H/T. The rear part (with the backrest on) just has two parts on the bottom with holes in which bolt straight through the wheel arch. The bottom part (with the cushion on) is attached...

I have wiped the connections on both the sender and the wires and still no luck!!! When I disconnect the wires from the sender the light still stays on!! I am having exactly the same problem as Shifty has, after a few minutes driving it came on and has been on ever since, its bloody annoying!

Yes I did notice the replacemtnent is very different, however it seems that it works well and is accurate, and doesn't move about as I brake/accelerate/corner etc. Yes the guage works spot on. Just the light thats the problem. So I think next I shall clean the connections up with rag and spray...

I have recently fitted a new tank and sender unit to my 90 from paddocks. It was all working fine for about 2 weeks, the guage was working perfectly and so was the light. Now however the light stays on constantly (it goes off for a couple of seconds very rarely!). I have checked the connections...

Yeah its the fuel tank. Give it a good clean to make it easier to see where its leaking. Could be the drain plug (the bolt head you can see at the bottom rear of the tank) or it could be leaking from the seams, or finally from the top - take the seat base and floor panel out and you can see the...

Hi, How high do the headrests go up on a 1991 Defender 90 200Tdi Hardtop County <<<< If any of that makes any difference whatsoever?? I can only get them about 2 inches (4cm) high, they seemm stuck solid! Any special way of doing it? Thanks

Hi, Should the transfer box just 'slip in' to High/Low ratio like it would going into 3rd to 4th. Mine does sometimes but other times it needs the clutch to be fiddled when pushing it in and then it sometimes 'slips out' as you start driving along after changing ratio??? Its for a 1991 200Tdi...

Got a 'DELUXE' bonnet protector from paddocks just before christmas, just gone to fit it and the bastard is anodised silver, the rest of my landy is fitted with natural coloured plate!!! They dont state colour of it in website and it was dark when put it in garage!!! What you think I should...

Hi, If I want to go through deepish water i.e higher than the air vent on the side, and I fitted a Safari Snorkel and breather pipes, then to go wading I would just literally need to put the plugs underneath in place and I am ready to go, then take them out when I have finshed? Do you...

As you want to believe you no what your chattin tell me, what is the correct maths needed to work out my speed? ;) Um yes I must agree it really does seem that way doesn't it, oddly enough though so do you (is it spreadable)!! :rolleyes: :D

LOL...

Exactly, on that calculator on page 2 you have to compare original tyre size (in metric) with your new tyre size (in metric) to find out the speed adjustment!!!! Hence why I converted 7.50x16 into 190/100/16!! Thankyou The Mad Hat Man for pointing that out you should be a UN Peace...

Well are you sure that calculator does not adjust for that???

According to calculator 750x16 same as 7.50x16 is 190/100 16 (just converts imperial size to metric size)

Same thing! FFS RESEARCH MY FRIEND!! lol Car Bibles : The Wheel and Tyre Bible Page 1 of 2 - about 1/4 of way down theres a calculator for imperial tyre conversion! All there just need to LOOK!!! lol

Alright people CALM DOWN (I am new to forums)!! I have done some research MYSELF and found my speed to be 70mph with 190/100 16 (original tyre size???) and my new tyres 235/85 16 are 70.83mph. So when travelling at 70mph I am actually travelling at 70.83mph-1mph over what my speedo...

Well spotted! They ARE 235/85 16s

Hi, I recently got a defender which came with 235/85 16 tyres mounted on 16x7 steel wheel presumably from a Disco? Anyway my question is will these larger tyres cause my speedo reading to be out slightly? if not what will? Cheers, Happy New Year
