Thanks. Sounds like just the thing I am looking for, so next step will be to get them ordered. After having looked around these Van Roof Racks | Van Roof Bars | Modular Welded Rino Roof Racks | Rhino Roof Racks - Land Rover Defender - 3 Bar Rhino Delta Roof Bar System seem to be one of the...

It would be really great to know what clearance you get, so I would be very grateful for the info.

Sounds good. I need them to carry a kayak on the roof and presume that available standard kayak carriers will fit onto the bars. What sort of clearance do you get between the roof and the bars? Cheers J

That is the point! I don't want the bar a foot above the gutter but actually as close to the roof as possible without touching of course, and with a little bit of give. The top of the roof is 18,1 cm from the gutter which suggests using the Thule 952 feet, but because of their shape I would...

I am looking at getting some Thule roof bars but cannot make up my mind which feet will fit the Defender 90 Hardtop the best. According to different websites I can use the following sets of feet: Thule 952: 20 cm feet (gutter to bar) Thule 953: 28 cm feet (gutter to bar) Thule 420: 27 or 29...

Thanks for all the advice and ideas. If Paul has got one and it does volt then I suppose it will do the same for me, so next step will be to order one and get it wired up. Thanks all. J

Can anyone tell me if Battery Gauge (part number PRC7315) is an ammeter or a voltmeter? Some websites sell it as being an ammeter, and others sell it as being a voltmeter. Anyone who has this gauge installed please let me know what this "battery gauge" actually is. Chers, J

I don't have any VDO's myself, but would a T5 wedge fit (5mm wedge)? I am currently getting LED lights formy standard 200tdi gauges (they are T10) and can reccomend this website: aceparts - LED Bulbs > LEDS by Fitment > T5, 286 J

Welcome LittleMiss Disco Its really hard to tell if you can respray the panels on a 10 year old vehicle without being able to tell a big difference in colors afterwards. It all depends on how faded the original paint is, and to some extend what the original color is. If you put a fresh coat...

Enden up getting BFG AT 235x85x16 on Boost alloys. A bit of a disaster to the wallet as they set me back roughly £200 each but so far I'm still smiling. Compared with the factory standard Michelin they provide a much firmer ride, firmer steering, and also a less bumpy ride as they are a fair bit...

Summer is on its way and I am thinking about getting a roof top tent. Though I am planning to take it to the southern parts of Europe it would be nice to get one that is also suitable for rougher climate e.g. rainy UK. The tent is for my 90" hardtop and I realise that I will need either a roof...

Hope these pics might help you...

I run standard Michelin 7.50R16 on my 1994 (200 tdi) 90" hardtop and will need to replace theese quite soon. So much good is being said about BFG tyres and I suppose that I have narrowed the choice down to; - get new standard 7.50R16 on the standard rims - get BFG AT 235x85x16 on Boost alloys...

Once read about a chap who hade made a smart looking bed but cannot find the article anymore. Did find this picture of a slightly more DIY version of the probably most workable 90 bunk. (Attached picture shows what others have already mentioned in this thread). Sweet dreams...

While under your vehicle you could give the prop-shaft a go - should have at least a couple of nipples in awkward locations.

Thanks for the advice. It seems I don't visit the local carpet shop often enough - thought they only did the very domestic sort of thing. Regarding the spray on glue it seems that some are better than other (read carpet falls off with a bit of weather change). Any tips on a good spray on...

I am planning to fit some carpet/lining in the rear of my 90 Defender and was hoping to find something similar to what is often used for lining car boots etc. Does anyone know where I can get this stuff (dark grey felt-carpet sort of thing - not too thick as I am not pimping my ride - that is...

I've got a 90" 1994 200 tdi that quite comfortably goes 70-75 mph, and 80-85 if I floor the pedal and there's not too much head wind. The wheels are standard 7.50R16. As you drive a 110" that would probably cause some extra weight to be hauled by the same size engine, but also be aware that...

Thanks again G-man Yeah! Not much Brown Brothers to be found out here. Will be back home coming weekend though, and will simply add a coat of some paint on top of each repair. Guess I can leave it like that while I complete the other repairs and then just give them all a light sanding before...

Thanks G-man I am downloading the pdf at the moment, but as I am currently in Liberia, Africa, my connection is darned unstable and slow. How long is it adviceable to leave the BB etch primer as the outer layer before starting the final paint job?
