When's your MOT planned for?

I was looking to buy one through them which looked good. Seems like I had a lucky escape! Which one did you get?

That's a good idea, it's my daily drive so can't have her off the road for too long. It would be good to get one rebuilt with no time pressure as a newbie spanner monkey. Thanks guys.

Having had a look at the weekend it seems my front propshaft needs work. I know you can replace the UJ’s but I’m thinking about just replacing the shaft as a whole. I don’t know what condition the splines are in but there’s plenty of movement in the rear joint. For the sake of about £65 and 8...

Keep the orange! I like it as it's a bit different.....

One lets the water in, the other lets it out again. Seemples. :)

I'm a new 90 owner as well and yours does indeed look good. I'm in Fareham.

Well finally got sorted. New rad, but as this had the wrong fittings (I needed taper fit) I was at least able to swap these out for the correct item. It seems a previous owner has used a radiator with the wrong union type and just fitted as best they could. No wonder the thing was leaking! All...

Many thanks for the offer Foxyred. Unfortunately the old radiator was an after market one where you can't replace the adapt or. I've now had to get an new rad and 2xntc3858 to make it fit the current oil lines..... I feel like a fully fledged Landy owner now!

Thanks for all your help guys. I've only had the thing 12 days and I was hoping to have a few more posts to my name before I started asking for help! What a great place this is!

That's what I'm hoping. I took a photo this morning which I'll try and up load. I think some careful use of heat and a big arse breaker bar and it should move. Either that or the breaker bar will live up to its name a a new rad will be needed......

Well the chap at the garage nipped it up with no improvement (worse!). On taking the oil pipe off it's the union on the cooler that has a knackered thread. He says he couldn't move it to take it off the cooler but am I right in thinking that these things do come off with a 27mm socket and...

On my Defender 200TDI engine I have an oil leak from the top oil cooler connection on the radiator. I’m hoping I can stop this by ‘nipping up’ the connection but the smaller hose on top is getting in the way of doing this. If I take this hose off does anyone know how much oil is going to come...

I certainly did!:) So first full day at home took the front bumper and a-bar off for a rattle can paint job. Bolts came out easily enough and managed and to get them back into those poxy clip things after about 20 mins of fiddling around! Certainly an improvement over how they arrived. Loving...

My non fault accident last October (insured by AF) was handled very well indeed and couldn't fault them! Not a bad annual premium and that was as a middle aged (42) bloke with an excellent driving record and an up together car (Peugeot.....don't worry I've swapped it for a 200TDI 90!)

And as a newbie into the fold I'm from Fareham with a 90 (1989 so pre Defender). Well I will be, I hope to pick it up this weekend from Dorset.

Well, after many years of loving Land Rovers I've gone ahead and got myself one. A 1989 90 200TDI (defender engine) on a galvanised chassis. I don't pick it up until this weekend (new clutch being fitted) so no problems at the moment :). Pretty sure I will come across a few though so no doubt...
