Sadly my dad has died and his landy is up for sale; http://forum.militarylightweight.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3915

I'm off to w+p on sat.

Bit of help please guys. 1986 2.25 petrol 90. I changed my mates tank for him yesterday, took the 90 for a local spin and all ran well. I put 2 gallon of fuel in and my mate put another gallon in when he picked it op. He just called me and said he managed 40 miles and it conked out...

Fitted 2 new front shocks and turret rings. My mate brought his 90 over for me to fit a new fuel tank, so started on that and got it done in 2 hours!

Changed the rear radius arm bushes. Had to chisel the rubber doughnuts out to get to the nuts and bolts. On one side someone had welded the bolt to the axle bracket!!! Took 6 bloody hours in total.

I'm going to say it will be the carb. Ive got a 2.5 petrol and had the same issues, I cleaned the carb out with carb cleaner and commpressed air. Weber carbs are very very fussy. But, a mate fitted a new coil and also had the same issues, turned out to be a faulty coil.

Must admit, i'm tempted. I always thought springs were uniquie to corners, ie, nsf,nsr,osf,osr.

Doing my head in now! Ive emailed the seller, and they have said these will fit my 1986 110; Land Rover Defender 110 7 seater front + rear suspension springs set Genuine TDC | eBay But the colour codes don't match this; PART Your thoughts please?

Sounds like it needs thinning, Ive started using synthetic thinner.

My mate has a B reg 90 with the 2.25 petrol lump. Very slow, but he loves it!

Ive just done mine with aldi gloss black, £5 per litre.

Had the same thing on my 110, it was the ignition switch.

Rhyas 6 8 24 50 Litre VTwin V Twin Air Compressor + FREE Kit | eBay My sister bought me this for my birthday, ive just sprayed my landy with it no problems. Higher cfm output than the one you have posted.

Thanks guys.

My mate bought a very clean seris 3 2.25 petrol last year. However, he should not be let near a spanner! He lives in west wickam, in kent, and is looking for a good independant landy garage to service/MOT his landy. He came over yesterday, and I had a good look over his landy and the only...

If you google 'commercial steam cleaners' in your area, you should be able to find a firm who will steam clean your landy. I used to take mine to a london black cab chassis cleaner, charged me £60 cash. Makes painting the chassis so much easier.

still for sale, but no swappsies.

I would look for a decent secondhand 2.5 petrol and fit that. The 2.25 is underpowered, imo, for a 90 with perm 4wd.
