    Age Related Plates....

    The VRM indicates the date of registration and not date of manufacture. I assume that it was never originally registered in UK and was exported to HK prior to registration in the UK. Therefore it's date of first registration in the UK will have been 1994 and hence given an M reg mark. If it had...

    Disco wheels on a Defender

    I had disco alloys on an 88 defender. Just lose the centre caps. Fronts were a bit tight on the hubs but some 3mm spacers sort that. I had drums on back.

    Are the diffs different??

    I have a 90 with a 200TDI disco transplant and a 1990 RRC rear axle. Is the diff in the RRC axle different to what should be on the 90? If so how would this affect gearing? Engine now runs spot on but LR seems a bit slow on accelaration and top end for a TDI. Could this diff affect this...

    How many breathers on 200TDI engine??

    My 200TDI is showing all the signs of blocked breathers. I've replaced the crankcase breather on the rocker cover with a brand new one and checked the hose to the sump and to the airbox for blockages but all clear. Are there any other breathers for me to check/replace?? Cheers.

    Smokey 200TDI???

    Hi. After selling my last 90 a couple of months ago I decided to get another for a bit of offroading. Last week picked up a 182k 1985 90 with a disco 200tdi transplant. On the way home I thought it seemed slow, both acceleration and top end but put this down to forgetting what they were...

    Rear Outrigger Replacement.

    Hi. Removed the sills off my 90 today to prepare for fitting rock sliders. Noticed the o/s rear tubular outrigger has a piece of box section in it and the fuel tank mountings have rusted away. Seems only option is to replace the outrigger. As it's now cold and dark I can't see too well. Has...

    Fitting/wiring winch.

    Thanks for that. Winch has finaly arrived but still waiting for my bumper!! Where is the best place to mount the solenoid box? Mine is only supplied with short wires so will have to replace these. Just concerned that remote needs to plug in so needs to be somewhere accessible. Thanks.
