    Ive heard that too . I know that britpart is sometimes alot cheaper but i do always try to avoid it. The quality and sometimes tolerances are way out cannot believe they do so much business

    Crazy Defender 90 Decision

    hi if i had to part with my 90 i would def either get the best tdi disco 1 or a rrclassic as theyre great comfortable well capable and your more likely to find it still there when you come back from where youve been out ,and alot cheaper tbh

    if theres good battery power and youre sure the timing belt has not snapped, you can check this by removing oil filler cap and turn engine over with socket and see if rockers move , then crack open one or two of the injector pipes to see if any diesel coming through .
