First step would be to go back to the garage for them to confirm what the noise is and that is was (or wasn't) caused by them. Diagnosing a noise on-line is very difficult. It could be totally unrelated to what they did or it could be that they disturbed (or undid) something which is now...

I don't recognise that experience, I had a 2.5NA D for many years and yes it had to be worked to keep up with modern traffic. My 300TDi auto however couldn't be more unlike that, it would be like comparing chalk & cheese.

Have heard all the horror stories before and I have to say they do not relate to my experience. Back in 2016 I converted my 300TDi 90 to auto using an Ashcroft conversion kit (I ran a thread at the time and have since mentioned it many times) and I have to say I am FAR from disappointed...

Yes, the SGS 2T unit is very good, I bought one (and load leveler) for when I did my chassis swop last year. Served its purpose very well and then I sold it on. Can't see the need to hire one (which means you have to be certain that you will get all jobs done while you have it on hire) as you...

No, spec is different to an 019 (which is what I have been using for the past 18-years). 019. Voltage 12 Volts Technology Wet Capacity (C20) 100 Ah CCA (EN) 830 A Length 353 mm Width 175 mm Height inc. terms 190 mm LP020. Voltage 12 Volts Technology Wet Capacity (C20) 110 Ah CCA (EN) 920 A...

Never had it happen to mine without some intervention first but yes it can happen to any vehicle and is usually down to adjustment or something moving slightly. I know when I rebuilt my 90 last year (after fitting the new chassis) it took ages to get the bonnet release set up correctly again...

Don't know if it would make the difference you have experienced but it isn't just the incorrect seal is it? 302177 for 5mm glass. DBF500030 for 4mm glass.

A Hi-Lift is not the tool for lifting the vehicle to change a wheel. I've had one for nearly 30-years but it never goes in the vehicle, it sits in the shed until I have a job for it in the garden (great for lifting / pulling stumps). The LR pillar jack that slots into the chassis holes is a bit...

"gorra bottle jack and some wood blocks?" Don't think a hydraulic bottle-jack will work on its side, needs to be upright. A good old reliable LR under-axle screw-jack with wooden blocks will do the job.

Fitted BP callipers to the F&R of my old 90 and they were fine, no fitting issues and several years later they were still operating perfectly when the axles were sold on. As already stated, lack of use will ruin even genuine callipers (corroded pistons, failed seals, seized bleed-nipples, damp...

When I converted my ex-MOD 1986 2.5NA D to PAS back in the day (Y2K I think?) I bought a full SH kit from one of the stalls at Billing, much easier to buy the whole kit take-off as you know everything is there. I recall people often commented that they were buying parts separately (some new and...

Land Rover 101 FC Coffee Mug by Pete Wilford. 101"-DERFUL! I am not aware that I ever used this mug, I bought it 25-years ago and it has sat in a cabinet ever since. Genuine Pete Wilford item bought direct from him. £15 including P&P. PM replies please.

Exactly the same experience as me (which I have previously posted on here at length). :( I wanted a pair of galvanised front doors and as the only supplier I ordered from SP4x4 (despite the warnings) as I assumed that they must get something right some of the time. :confused: They didn't and...

You lot upset him (shame on you). :confused:

Your original question is "if 275/70/18 tyres fit on a standard defender without having to modify" to which the answer is no as the standard size rims are 16-inch and you can't fit an 18-inch tyre to a 16-inch rim. You then follow up with "I brought it with cooper att3 265/65/18 on" which shows...

Is there a choice? Mine are white I believe.

Fuel-tank lifespan - How long is a piece of string? When I bought my 1986 ex-MOD 90 22-years ago I could see that the tank wasn't original and had just been replaced so was in excellent condition. As I was in for the long haul I removed it, cleaned it, primed / painted / Waxoyled it and there...

Yes, one of the many traps that require regular checking. Whenever I wash the 90 I spend more time on the underside than the top. The top usually requires nothing more than a rinse and wash down with a good shampoo / wax solution whereas for the underside I get on my hands & knees to make sure...

There was a known fault with the X-Eng lock and in fact it was probably me who mentioned it as I haven't read about it anywhere else (and no, this isn't about the locking mechanism itself). I spoke to the manufacturer at the time (before Foundry took over) and he advised me what to do (I was on...

"Cheers, unfortunately Skytag isn't approved by my insurer (AF). I had no issues with TRACKER on my previous Impreza ( I did get a lifetime subscription when I purchased it that's not available any more)" Must be the underwriter. My 90 is with AF and they approve my Skytag. My issue with...
