The problem is I remember GCSE art, which I got thrown out of! I do have a compressor and spray gun (cheap one which was part of a set) but would a 25lt compressor be big enough for spraying as I thought I would need a 50lt one

hi, do with oily muddy people of Landyzone have any idea on the cost I might be charged for get a 90’s white roof sprayed in metallic black (just the roof not the body). I’m based Essex if anybody have any recommendation of sprayers?

My mate says that it was leaking quite a lot, the 2 times I looked at it there was no leaks underneath but it was parked in between 2 sets of gates on crushed drives, so probably just moved it there before I turned up. At 09:00 I will pop over to my mates and get the full score and an idea on...

Unless towed

Oh yes I remember, a stationary art piece to sit in the barn and never move!

And I bought a defender because ......

I’m going to keep the Defender as overal the car is in very good condition, just a bit dodgy mechanical (at least it starts and stops). VINs all matches as I did one of the AA check thingies on it before I purchased it. I think the mileage is correct as I checked the last 10 years of previous...

On the test drive it drove OK, I did hear one clunk but I then drove it for another 15 minutes and heard nothing else and it felt OK. The ride was a little harsh but I put that down to the type of tyre on it. My friend at the garage said to be fair you had to have it in the air to see a lot of...

Well I picked up my new 2004 Defender 90 TD5 today from a private seller, 71K on the clock, 2 previous owners, perfect chassis, had a good respray, very tidy and had a new MOT last Thursday with NO advisories. Well driving it home (about 30 miles) it start to feel funny on the back on a couple...

I have just been flicking through the Haynes manual for the Defender and is says 'A central door locking function is standard on all vehicles from 2002 model year. The system operates in the front and rear passenger doors, and on station wagons and country station wagons models it also operates...

Thanks for the feedback, when I pick it up I will see if there is a controller in it. If the standard position is behind the N/S headlamp I will start there. The defender is going to be stored in a locked alarmed barn, which is in a Dobermans courtyard that is covered with CCTV. I’m intending to...

hi, has anybody got a list of what was installed as standard spec for Defender TD5 90 S? I’m picking up my new 2004 90 S on Monday and my neighbour has told me this afternoon that he thinks all TD5 have immobiliser which is controlled via a Land Rover alarm unit and I can get the ECU programmed...

Really stupid question, what is the best way/finish to paint a galvanised roof rack black? hammerite or spray can? The question sounds stupid by I have never painted anything galvanised before!

Thanks for the reply, I have already looked at those 2 and they seem very comparable, I think I prefer Paddock motor as i prefer their site, I just wanted to check that they had a good reputation.

Can anybody recommend any good site that can you supply good quality and cost effective Defenders parts and customisation bits.

Thanks for the reply, I’m going through loads of stuff but I could not find the info I was looking for but I think I have just found out how it was done, they used normal Exmoor seats I think but modified the tub over the wheel, far too adventurous for me! Out of interest, is there any easly...

Hi all I’m a Land Rover virgin, picking up a 2004 Defender 90 TD5 on Sunday, so I will be probably be posting a lot of stupid questions. The first stupid question, I’m intending replacing the rear benches with a couple of forward facing seats (emergency kids car). I have seen imagine online of...
