    Landrover 90 roof seals

    If it has a ribbed roof, keep it, the flat roofs really dont suit an older 90, those old ribbed roofs look the part if you ask me, I would buy an original parts catalogue for your vehicle, if you want to do work on it you will need one, I would also look to see if the seals were superceded to a...

    What have you done on your 90/110/130 today?

    I bought this stuff, it makes the dash all shiny, I mean its like I painted it with gloss paint, seats too, they squeak when I sit on them, well impressed, I will try it on the body work tomorrow!

    Landrover 90 cappings

    How old is your vehicle? All this nonsense I read regarding ''oh, that will last a life time'' , yeah, but will the rest of your vehicle? If the old ones lasted this long, new ones will last around the same time, or, you could have them crafted out of a single piece of gun metal then fitted with...

    Dash led lights?

    No the clocks, you know the shelf bit? I want to fit some low wattage leds in there that come on with the side lamps so I can easily grab things from there at night, I had one of these in the shed and I fitted it but its just way too bright. Any ideas? WOW - 1X 4X 6 LED 12V 10cm Flexible 5050...

    Changing wheels 1994 county

    7.50's height wise, you dont want to go much taller on standard suspension, cost wise you have to factor in 5 wheels which wont be cheap, second hane you might get a set with tyres on but that will limit your choice of tyres. XZL's also come in a metric size. Then you have more road noise with...

    Changing wheels 1994 county

    It depends on what you want to do with the vehicle, 7.50's are tall, I prefer them to wide tyres as they cut through mud better to find better grip, XZL's would fit the wheels you have at the moment, they are quite tall but not silly wide and they are the hardest and most durable tyre I have...

    Van/mini bus seats in the back of a 90?

    I would inform them, of course, thats not what I meant, they wouldnt have an issue with the seats themselves. I fitted a middle seat and they didnt even ask me where in the vehicle it was even though it went from 2 seats to 3, it didnt even bump the cost up at all. All my modifications, no...

    Van/mini bus seats in the back of a 90?

    I've got seats with integral belts that fold down very flat, just wondering how the mot might see it, insurance wouldn't be an issue if it isn't raised as one during an MOT.

    Van/mini bus seats in the back of a 90?

    So guys, forward facing seats in the back, no room to enter or exit unless you clamber over them when they are folded, is that an MOT issue? Its a rag top so you couldnt get out through the back anyway?

    Sun Visor Hinges

    The hinges are integral, Im getting some tinted perspex cut and rounded on the corners with some generic visor hinges, much better I reckon than the landy ones that seem to stop working for no apparent reason.

    Defender 90 suspension question

    Armstrong dampers are OEM, if they were good enough at the factory dont see why they wont be when it comes to replace them.

    LT230 Input gear.

    That time is coming, they say to remove the intermediate gears and replace the crush spacer, is this totally necessary to get the correct preload on the bearing shims?

    Help please

    Here is what I would do, all the exhaust valves have been screwed up somehow, remove them, reseat/replace them, check the rods, replace if necessary, bang it back together taking much care to adjust the valve clearence properly then look for the fueling issue that caused this. Get some new...

    Help please

    Bit late for the party guys, a faulty 19J lift pump can dump fuel into the oil, In my experience it wont be the head, because even if the head were cracked the fuel would still go into the cylinder, and the symptoms , all be it quite vague, suggest a fueling issue. 30 odd quid for a lift pump...
