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

    I have finally managed to wire up my washer jet! They have never worked since I purchased the 90 and gave up chasing the old wiring so repurposed some redundant rear light wiring and connected the pump to one of the vacant switches. Hey presto it works. Can’t believe I am so pleased with...

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

    I think my added difficulty was it was a pickup conversion to hard top so possibly not everything square. We did our best. Definitely needs two people. Wife was very thrilled to be a prop for the afternoon.

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

    Yes front one and rear two halves. Also full fitting across back over door with finishing trim as well. Yes I fully insulated the room. Also treated to carpet in rear!

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

    Yes. Most of the secondhand ones were being sold for a reason! I had been looking for a while but people wanted crazy amounts for ones available and then would have needed re covering. Luckily no safari lights as hard top so slightly easier to fit. Quite thick fibre glass so will last I think...

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

    Hi. No they are fibre glass painted in a range of different finishes. After first hour felt like binning it but at £500 thought I had better persevere. Two more hours later. Benefit is it is waterproof apparently.

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

    Today I fitted a LaSalle headlining into the 90. It was a real PITA to fit. Just as one bit was ok the holes didn’t line up in the back two parts. It would almost have been easier if they hadn’t pre drilled the holes. In now and looks good i think. Insulated first. It didn’t have one to start...

    Head lining

    I have just spent the best part of the day putting a Lasalle headlining in my 90 which didn’t have one when I bought it. A real pig of a job trying to line up front to rear (in two parts). Now done, please but exhausted.

    D2 knew I was going to sell!

    Thanks. That may be easier I guess and not much more in terms of cost. I suppose it will also help the next owner.

    Yeah I’ve seen the videos to change the sensor. Doesn’t look like it can be done without removing the hub. I will get a new one and see if obviously damaged.

    D2 knew I was going to sell!

    Yes. He had to work quite hard to get the ball joint out so likely he knocked it. I need to do a service ready for sale so I will replace the sensor then. Luckily quite cheap part.

    D2 knew I was going to sell!

    Hi My d2 was in today having the ball joint replaced and has come back with abs warning light quickly followed by the other two amigos! Must have known I was going to sell her as I have my defender arriving tomorrow. I assume the wheel sensor has been knocked or a wire pulled. I’ll have a...

    Ladies and gentleman, I give you the evoque.😂 Not the smaller capable suv I suspect we imagined.

    Bit bigger I guess. Enough room for a dog and a passenger but not much else. It’s only two doors.

    Great s Great stuff. Everyone thought I was mad but I have really enjoyed having it as my daily driver just not so much on longer journeys. If I had the need I would keep it along with the puma and 90 200tdi but I wouldn’t be able to keep them all going and they need to be driven.

    Buying advice

    I test drove one a few years ago and was very disappointed by the fit and finish of what was meant to be a high end suv. It was quite cramped inside too. For the money I would probably stick with a more reliable SUV like Audi or Skoda which seem to be very popular in this sector. For about 10...

    D2 1999 ES going up for sale

    I also did the thermostat when I purchased her as it was dropping randomly. That is a job and a half as you know (plus a saving of the skin off your knuckles) so peace of mind. Egr blanked too. Headlight bulbs upgraded to night breakers which make a difference.

    D2 1999 ES going up for sale

    Hi I have just taken the plunge and bought a puma 90. That means that sadly my D2 I bought last year to get me through will need to go as I also have a 1987 90. I’m in East Sussex so just posting to give advance warning of sale! Had the rear chassis replaced last year so that’s a big tick...

    Thank you. Looking forward to it although I will feel sad to let my d2 go but can’t have three landrovers.

    Well done on the purchase. I hope you enjoy it. Update on my side. I decided to go with my heart and I have purchased a 2012 defender with a view to hopefully keeping it for longer and having more confidence in doing things myself. Currently being prepared by the garage so will let you have...
