One day I will cure this stupid oil leak (RRC 200TDi in a Defender). The bottom half of my engine and gearbox is covered in the stuff, yet it only drips a tiny amount on the driveway. It only leaks when it has been running. The leak seems to be coming from the oil filter side of the...

DC - Do you mean the heater matrix that sits behind the dash directly behind where the centre console is etc? If so, yes, I do.

Hi, Sorry...jumping over to here from the Defender forum! I have some remaining RRC parts and panels that some of you maybe interested in...before I stick them on eBay They all came off a K Reg (1992) Vogue SE (5 Door). Parts include (off the top of my head): >Roof with aperture for...

Ah got ya. How does the stand on one effect the spare wheel. Do you have to take the spare wheel off the back of your Defender?

When you say "use it for work" do you mean commuting to work or actually using it as a working vehicle?

This is the route I'll go with mine. A MaxxRaxx seem sooo expensive in comparison for my needs! BoB - I notice that on the Pendle the bikes might slide around...how do you overcome this? I don't fancy my bikes getting scratched :o...

the latter ;)

Thanks everyone :) Treworgey - I read that last night as well...whoops!!! I'll give it a crack. Cheers!

Hi, I'm "trying" to replace the springs on the 90. I've done the rear 2. Very easy. I'm now on the front 2. Only problem is, when I try and undo the bottom mount of the shock absorber/damper, the shock absorber/damper rotates at the same time! How do you stop this from happening...

Will do :)

Thanks everyone :)

Haha...I know what you meant. Right, I've ordered some - job for the weekend me thinks

IIRC the seat cushion isn't removable. However saying tht, what I did when I had some Rover Coupe Recaro seats in was to have "quick release" bolts/mechanisms in place of the rear bolts. This meant that I could tilt the seat forward and easily get to my battery box :) Just noticed you are...

How good are Allmakes? There isn't much difference in price to Britpart. Is it worth the extra few quid to go Bearmach or will I get the same product as Allmakes, just with a different sticker?

Thanks Discomania...just to let you know, mine isn't a Series...it's a 1989 90...

Welcome to the forum Ken! All seats will fit with modifications. You'll be struggling to get to the compartments though. Btw, wht are you existing seats like? I'm after a set, as mine are deaded :)

I'm after a full set of coil spring for my '89 90 as mine have sagged at the back, but I don't want to go Britpart due to the reviews from here... At the moment, I'm looking at Bearmach (I assume they are better than Britpart?) and have also come across "Allmakes" (are they as bad as...

Ah, didn't realise there was a waiting list for them as such haha. When you say some modifications to the manifold, what are they? Also are the turbo's the same? I wish I had kept the 19J kicking about now! p.s. the Landy Cam was really informative much better than watching tellie as...

Hi, I'm looking for a 200Tdi Defender Manifold and Turbo. I'm currently running a reconditioned 200tdi out of a RRC, but this means the turbo is down on the side so ideally I'm after the proper set up where the turbo is sat on the top. It will also give me more space to run the pipes to and...

Haha...it was a good laugh last night! Definitely tuning in to tonights as well. Are we taking bets on how many times Paul loses the socket/ratchet or burns himself? Haha
