    Bluetooth speaker in landy - anyone doing this?

    I’m going to use a Bluetooth speaker in my 90 as I can’t be bothered to fit a stereo. Does anyone else use one and can advise what to get? I would like to be able to use it whilst driving (haha) so needs to have a bit of oomph and has to have hands free function. And fit in the dash.

    Broken shock absorber do I change all?

    Thought the back end was a bit bouncy! One of the shocks on the back has snapped, should I replace the lot and the springs as well? Any recommendations? I’m thinking standard/upgraded but don’t need to be adjustable or taller or anything fancy - they will just get fitted and forgotted. The...

    How to top up transfer box without a pump

    Well halfrauds did have an orange concertina pipe thing so got that for now and ordered a better pump from screwfix as I want to do the diffs at some point as well. Will be spending a fair bit of time under the beast coming up as I’m doing the rust and waxoyle treatment.

    How to top up transfer box without a pump

    Hi all - was going to top up transfer box tomorrow so will be picking up some oil from Halfords, the oil does not come in a squeeze bottle with a pipe as I expected, so need a good way of getting it in - I can’t get a pump or syphon at this short notice on a Sunday so need to improvise! Any ideas??

    Cup holder for 90 keep spilling my tea

    It’s probably as lethally sharp as a bean can ! Although I didn’t cut myself making it which is very unusual. Plenty of other ways to get injured on my landy though.

    Cup holder for 90 keep spilling my tea

    UPDATE - ended up making my own with some strips of metal and rivets, quick and dirty but does the job and is in keeping with the landy zone ethos !

    Land Rover 90 2.5TD

    I picked up a 19J powered 90 and have been running it around for the last year and a half or so, until I had the engine swapped for the defender 200tdi engine. There is a big difference as the 19J did struggle on hills, crap on fuel and took ages to start when cold. I think it was possibly worn...

    Cup holder for 90 keep spilling my tea

    The cycle bottle cages on my bike were too tight for my cup, but looks like that could work if I got a more bendy one - is the dash made of metal under the cover? was thinking of using a couple of wood screws to attach it haha maybe not

    It’s all winding lanes round me - having a cup sat on the passenger seat is just terrible

    Cup holder for 90 keep spilling my tea

    I read the tunnel tray is too shallow for tall cups? - it looks like a good solution although the tunnel padding on my landy is all ripped and falling off so might not sit right

    brilliant ! Although I have no cubby box but that’s a great idea.. I can screw to the dash maybe (goes to garage to remove from bike)

    Cup holder for 90 keep spilling my tea

    I’m using the 90 all the time since the new engine also as it’s a more appropriate apocalypse vehicle, unfortunately there is no facility for my cup of tea that I take with me! I use a plastic reusable tall coffee style cup. What do you guys use to hold hot drinks? Anything available I can screw...

    can you open Bonnet with spare wheel on?

    The bonnet wheel holders are about 6 times less than the swing aways as well which tempts means as well !

    can you open Bonnet with spare wheel on?

    The weight wont be too much of a problem unless it falls on my head ! Just wanted to know if it will clear the windscreen as I don't want to un bolt it each time. Not sure a swing away will work on a pick up?

    can you open Bonnet with spare wheel on?

    If I mount my spare wheel on the bonnet, will I have to take it off to open the bonnet? I have the farmer/military type tyres on which are quite narrow but weigh a lot ! at the moment the spare sits in the back (pick up) taking up space
