    boot storage units

    Never occurred to me to put the stove longitudinally rather than transverse. Brilliant! And just before I start out finishing my90.

    Engine Runaway

    Surely you would had a giant bang with a catastrophic piston failure? But it does sounds like one of those crazy turbo diesel runaways you see videos about.

    Can this chassis rot be welded/is it an MOT fail?

    Those be just the bits you can see. Betcha gonna find more holes every few months to bodge.

    advice .. 50th anniversary vs built 90 V8

    I would not buy someone else's modified truck because they would change it in a way they like not the way I want it. Do to answer your question 50th is the truck I'd get. Easier to insure and sell down the road to.

    to galvanize a 90 bulkhead or not?

    Have a galvy ashtree unit on my truck. Fitted to chassis easily. Now to bolt up the rest of the truck. A second one didn't bolt up easily at all. Something happened in manufacturing it but customer happy

    Bad day Good day

    When Zi said goodbye to my 95 it was hard. But the rolling chassis of a 90 with my running gear made up for it.

    Do you need a rollcage

    Average Joe's don't know **** about building a proper roll age. I'd be worried about your crushing if thats the way you go about business

    Jatco Gearbox Fluid. What Are The Alternatives

    Aren't there bunches of fords as well using that same box? Check Mobil 3309 to see if it's suited. That works for many Japanese auto boxes

    td5 overheating

    Time to clean the rad again? Does the fan work?

    Gaffer tape dustbin bags wire ties adjustable wrench stove tea bags mug and spare can of sense of humour.

    Gearbox - Can’t engage reverse!

    Bet reverse will work in the morning when cold.

    do defender cabs and windscreens fit series

    Not hard to fix the roof if you want to spend a kings ransom

    key problem

    Try replacing the fob battery. It's cheap and may make a difference. If not your alarm ecu is likely showing signs if failure.

    no sound from stereo

    Assuming none of that external amp stuff and all fuses good, the the unit has probably died. Put a meter across the terminals at the radio
