- 1988 2.5 turbo 19J bog standard - 7.50 knobbly thin tyres - Very hilly - Short journeys - carrying stuff - Taken from speedo distances - (which may be out) and the first 1/4 of a full tank seems to leak out going up hill. - 19.7 MPG

Picked up the landy with the redbooster kit now fitted - does exactly what it says on the box really! Super easy to press the clutch - totally different.

I looked into this as well - but my landy has a different clutch lever without a spring in that place! Should have picked up the landy yesterday as it’s finished now but didn’t make it to the garage, will go get it Monday !!

To be honest I’m not sure what it comes with - I got the box delivered and dropped it to the local garage. I will have a good look and take some photos when I get the vehicle back. I love an automatic! my main vehicle is one, think a defender would be great as an auto... if the engine had a bit...

I found the thread above - but wanted a plug and play solution for this issue due to not having any time and/or more truthfully, inclination - sounds like what you did works really well

What are mudrails!?

Ive had the “tratter” for a few weeks now, its a work runabout so just been used now and again - although I’ve been getting in it instead of my hilux, (for short journeys) as I really like driving it - despite the terrible seating position, no radio.... slow...guzzles fuel... smells...tears your...

In all seriousness I’ve not had it that long - it’s done over 130000 miles and its sweeet !!

I have the 19j engine in my 90 - it’s probably a bit quicker than what you are describing.... but not by much, although I don’t rev mine too much just in case it rattles it’s self to bits...29mpg err no !

Sorry to hijack this but do you have a link? The exmoor website does not seem navigable at all

Why cant you use child seat with lap belt in he middle? And booster with the three point belt by the door.

Click bait title LOL

Pretty bad though as diesel spilled is slippery for motorbikes and the land rovers are bad enough on fuel as it is ! It shouldn’t really be a problem to be fair but there you go

No...it’s on a different key - like the doors !

It seems ok regarding pressure - there is no hissing when the cap comes off - when it first happened I thought the fuel cap had fallen off there was such a stain on the wheel arch etc! I have ordered a new cap so will put that on and see

I’m in Gloucestershire - way away! What made you change it into a pick up?

Sounds interesting have you a link to this? I was looking at these http://www.purelymetal.co.uk/set-of-heavy-duty-hood-sticks-for-a-defender-90/ Look pretty sturdy!

There is actually a tatty roof and sides with windows on the bay at the moment ! Although I have just been looking at soft top conversions haha...I didn’t realise how versatile these vehicles are !

I filled up the blue beauty today (1988 “turbo”) for the second time since I have owned it - on the way back I did a couple of stops and noticed the leak from cap all down the side of the rear wing and wheel arch! It was doing this a bit before, but I did not realise how bad it was! as I went up...
