hey there. Not sure how to request a diagnostic help on LZIR- anyway here we go. My father in law recently bought a Disco 4 and its come up with a management light. I'm not really a 'modern LR' person so have no clue on what diagnostic it needs. Does anyone have one near Micheldever Hampshire or...

Im after a set of bench seats in decent condition, ideally complete with belts, for a Landy 90. Im in the Basingstoke area and don't want to have to travel too far... but what have you got?

I've just had a hell of a lot of fun and games converting all of my lighting to Wipac LEDs. It's actually a great kit and cannot fault Wipac! But basically the wiring loom on my 1985 90 has been hacked around and some weird things done over the years. I've discovered a few things about mine that...

Wow. This is pretty amazing, not sure how i've missed this post. I'd love to see it, I live in Basingstoke and spend a lot of time in Yateley, what a great project!

Wow yeah that is a trouser browning moment for sure! Is this the TV show that Thames had an ad out for where they needed a vehicle to be filmed? One of the ex-Camel guys somewhere around Winslade/Herriard?

ha, ok, good to know, cheers

Thanks James. I just wanted to check if the arm could have been installed wrong at some point. I plan on putting some corrected or jointed trailing arms on anyway, but was just interested in seeing if flipping them would improve things for now, a quick job!

I am away from my vehicle right now so can't post pics. But I've been thinking about how stretched my rear trailing arm chassis bush looks, like it is always under tension downwards. Is it possible the previous owner (only had it about a month) has installed the trailing arms upside down thus...

It was a good day, I think the site was a bit small and over crowded but on the whole very fun. Disco took some damage but only cosmetic, the new (1985) 90 did really well, loved it. Definitely need a good day on the lanes soon

I may be able to help! I have been in the process of replacing front turrets, and ran out of time to finish the job but had to pop the vehicle 1 mile up the road to collect a work van for the next day. In the process of preparing for a turret change i'd snapped 1 of the bolts off the retaining...

Hey, yes I will be at Brick Kilk. I'll be in a blue 90 soft top & my girlfriend entrusted with my camel Disco. Please say hi!

Awesome! I love seeing progress on this. What a total animal. Well done and can't wait to see what it can do!

In my experience the viscous coupling part of the fan just doesn't work properly - never had one that performs proper free spin when cold. For that cost consider an electric fan conversion, or if you're anywhere near Basingstoke Hampshire feel free to grab a freebie entire fan and coupling...

Oh dear, much as Brown says, i'd be looking at grinding that all off and having a professional attach a new entire bracket. And probably budget for some new turrets and turret rings at the same time. I'd be very concerned as to the state of the rest of the chassis if that part is that bad, get...

Oh ,it's the turret ring at the top. Well if it's part of the chassis - it needs welding! If it's a broken turret ring or turret, just replace - all in around £30. Maybe take the turret off and check out what part has the damage?

Just as a followup to anyone else reading, having spoken to the lovely chaps at Frog Island and Adrenaline4x4.... An earlier 90, like mine, 1985, takes a 40mm bush, axle bracket gap at 44mm, with a later 90 taking a 44mm bush which has an axle gap of 48mm. This is all for the front end...

And of course as its front, you'l have to remove the damper, which should be easy as you've just had it out.

The spring seat is just a removable part that clamps through the bottom of the axle with 2 bolts. So its as easy as removing 2 bolts (which might be stuck a bit tight), jack the body of the vehicle until the spring is loose, lift it up a bit, remove the lower spring seat part, replace with new...

It's already lifted - and it's very nice at this height. It's currently on 265/75 Insas's and will end up on 33s at some point potentially. The steering isn't dreadful at the moment but i'm always looking to improve where I can, and like I say, caster corrected arms really finished off the...
