This could be really interesting, keep posting pictures and updates as you go :)

Just read this thread from start to finish (all 16 pages), what an awesome rebuild!! Wish I had half the knowledge you had when it comes to restoring Landy's :) Now get yourself a steering guard and some rock/tree sliders, will save yourself a fortune in unnecessary repairs I reckon, plus they...

What kind of deal did you get on her? I am curious, looks stunning for the age!

Suffer? Nope, more Landy wading opportunities than normal though XD Already got a canoe, no need to sell Daisy to get one :P Could do with a Roof Rack though... :D It's good to be back :)

Thanks :D

Just a quick update to all those curious, I am still here, just been crazy busy since Autumn, things finally starting to get a little calmer again, hopefully should be posting a bit more often again :)

We all do it from time to time :D I'll go back and edit my post to remove the quote, no point making edits if a quote still floats ;) Now get back to doing that Defender, because I for one want to see this thing back up and running :)

glad you found out what it was :) She is a beautiful Defender!

Damn you, beat me to it :D

Genius! A comb and cables.. why didn't I think of that? :eek: De-misting should be no problem with those to-hand!

Oh.. go on then! What did you replace it with? (pictures are essential)

Now, now... don't take my words out of context, I said By doing that I was leaving the decision in your super-DIY capable hands. I didn't say "remove that thing when summer comes" - that would have been a clear instruction to remove it :P

Screw them haters Tim :) Plus you can always remove it when summer comes around ;)

Just a heads up you guys, if you're ever struggling to meet the CFM rating that you need, and you don't want to fork out for a high-end compressor, go ahead and get yourself a Compressor Expansion tank/vessel, your compressor will generally be working continuous and obvious wear will be...

Haha, I love that thing! It has such an oldskool Landy look to it :) I approve of this DIY de-mister :D

@Turboman @wammers Are you guys still going on about this? I have a simple solution which will enable you guys to know this in the future without any confusion. Prior to the Discovery coming along in '89, there were two base brand vehicles produced by Land Rover, they were the Range Rover...

If you want some reassurance, take a picture under the hood and post them in here as well, can compare it against mine.

Don't worry yourself too much. I also have a 1991 90" 200tdi, not re-engined. The 200tdi engine was released initially in the Disco in '89 before eventually making its way to the Defender (Utility Land Rover) in late '90 - so 1991 is the very early years of the 200tdi, and one of the most solid...

Disco to Defender, I approve of this decision :) Welcome to the forum! *performs a secret Defender owner initiation handshake* :p

At this point I can't tell whether you're kidding or not, that's the trouble with this forum :p On the plus side, 18 months should be just long enough to get this Defender back on the road! :eek:
