    damn those windscreen wipers!

    I thought the reason you went to Alicante was to escape the rain? ;) For the wheel boxes Britpart ones are about £15, OEM about £20 and genuine £35. For the effort involved, genuine might be the best option? I need to do mine soon as they have a horrible clunk every swipe.

    1989 90 Rebuild

    Fitted the new clutch pipe when it finally arrived and the new pedal feels much easier to push down, only slight issue is that the bite point is now right near the floor even with all the air bled so it could be a worn master cylinder. Got round to finishing the sound proofing of the rear tub...

    For Sale Defender LT230 Transfer Box 1.4 Ratio 22D Recently Rebuilt

    I have decided to sell my 1.4 ratio transfer box as I converted to a disco box about 2 years ago and now would never go back to the defender original. The box was rebuilt during my rebuild and once installed only covered 5000 miles before it was swapped out. The work carried out was as follows...

    1989 90 Rebuild

    Stumbled across a TDCI clutch pedal for sale on ebay. I was still running the original 2.5td pedal setup with the long return spring which caused aching legs in traffic jams. I ordered the whole unit and set about swapping it, turns out the m/c on my old unit had a pretty bad leak despite being...

    For Sale Defender 200tdi Early Clutch Pedal Assembly

    Before I stick it on ebay, just converted my 90 from the early clutch pedal to the TDCI version so I have my original for sale. The unit is in good working order, unfortunately the master cylinder seals have failed so I can either take it off or leave it for you to change the seals depending on...

    Clutch Steel Pipe Needed Urgently Southampton

    Cheers, I've got all of the flaring tools and pipe to do brake pipes, just not the clutch pipe- part of the reason it didn't get sorted during the rebuild. I've got a new one on order so may just have to wait for it to turn up.

    Clutch Steel Pipe Needed Urgently Southampton

    Anyone know where I can get a solid clutch pipe for a defender 90 NRC8330 within the next couple of days around Southampton? Whilst doing the upgrade to the puma pedal box, the pipe has snapped whilst undoing the union and obviously with new year the earliest I can get one at the moment is...

    1989 90 Rebuild

    Just got back from Uni for Christmas. Had the MOT in November and passed with flying colours and nothing seems to have gone wrong since then, apart from a couple of small issues that need sorting. Plan for Christmas is to fix the hazard lights, complete oil change and find whats causing an odd...

    Help - find my exhaust

    It looks like you have the original 2.5td setup like my G reg 90 running a disco 200tdi. I've just sorted mine out with the conversion pipe as well as replacing the back box which is this one...

    1989 90 Rebuild

    Starting to think about MOT now as I'm back to uni next week. Had a leak from the rear wheel which I thought was a leaking halfshaft seal but it turns out it was the brake cylinder leaking brake fluid. Changed the leaking cylinder and then had to fit new shoes because of the contamination. A few...

    1989 90 Rebuild

    Been pretty busy recently with one thing and another so haven't been able to update as much as i'd have liked. About a month ago I was driving to work when I suddenly lost oil pressure. If I kept the revs up, the pressure could be maintained so I carried on driving around carefully as I didn't...

    200TDI Conversion Exhaust Confusion

    I have done a fair bit of searching but still haven't found any answers.... My 1989 90 is in need of a new exhaust. It was converted to a disco 200tdi and the downpipe has been bodged. If I were to buy the correct conversion pipe off ebay, which exhaust should I buy? The 200tdi defender or the...

    1989 90 Rebuild

    Been a long time. Time for a small update. The swivels were rebuilt with new bushes and new panhard rod bushes fitted and there is still some vagueness in the steering, still a mystery. Recently been on a big spend as I finally decided to get around to changing the catflap to a puma rear door...

    Sorry for the late response, the Silent Coat stuff is pretty expensive but well worth the investment. I've just another load to finish off the roof but be warned you need to cover it otherwise it'll blind you on a sunny day. The RFID system seemed like a good idea at the time but I haven't...
