    Is this about right?

    Desperation Defender 90 Power steering Conversion

    I'm guessing that the bracket isn't flat? As in flat and the same thickness across it and not machined.

    Drivers Lock turning without Key

    Be careful which locks you order, there are different types - I know this from changing the locks on my lad's defender. Years ago a friend of mine had an Allegro, that could be opened and started with a 2p coin!

    Tips for removing rusty floor screws

    Take it for an MOT with a large hole where the bulkhead joins the floor and they will take them out, repair the floor and put new floor bolts in for you - for a very good price :p:)

    roof light bar silly question!

    My lad has a full width led light bar on the roof of his 110 and we would like to move it forward so it sits at the top of the windscreen. The brackets it's fitted with won't allow this so silly question - does anyone know of any brackets available or is it a case of make our own? This bit...

    Custom plate, will I look a knob?

    My Honda X11 motorbike has a private plate that someone put on in the past - X11 and 3 letters, doesn't bother me even though they aren't my initials. No-one else has noticed! There is a Range Rover near me that has LR1 as it's plate, I bet that cost a few quid. There is also some idiot with a...

    It would have to be the JE 90 for me. I kind of like the rangy pickup but if I'm going for a posh pickup then I'd be buying a Cadillac Escalade ETX.

    Thatcham CAT 1 Alarm Recommendations PLEASE

    I can lend you a very large, very hairy, nasty looking dog - he won't shift his backside out of your 90 once he's in there though!! I would check with your insurance about fitting it yourself first, the whole thatcham approved thing is a minefield. A lot of insurance companies want it installed...

    90 accelerator pedal spring

    https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/land-rover-defender/defender-90-and-110/?si=accelerator+pedal&searchwithin=Go If I've done it properly, it should be the whole page of accelerator parts, @kevstar was bang on. I have nothing to gain if you use Craddock's, it's simply the place my son and I use...

    Swivels question

    My lad's 110 TD5 is going to need a new swivel on the offside - as it has leaked everywhere I assume it will need to whole thing replacing? Couple of questions for people with more knowledge than me (which will be most Defender owners!) - is there anyway I can check if it's just a seal that has...

    How "fast" is your defender?

    On the way home this afternoon on my bike I didn't lose a guy in a 110 csw until well into a band B in a 60... Don't know who it was but it surprised me somewhat!

    Yay or Nay guys?

    I was going to say periodically correct and I'd leave the covers on unless they're in use, I love the old 80's rally cars with all the lights on the front. I'd put the rectangular lights below the bumper and the round ones above, fitted directly to the bumper towards the centre and leave the...

    Freelander 1 lower door skin repairs

    If you just rivet ali checker plate over rotten steel it will rust even quicker, the door skins will still rot behind the checker plate. As Nodge says just replace the doors, there are plenty of breaker cars out there.

    Freelander 1 facelift vs pre facelift

    There was a thread last week about it - https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/please-can-someone-help-me.343368/ there is another link in there and there are bound to be other threads if you search. I'd check with your insurance first as it could count as modified.
