    What D90 to buy?

    Neither of them are 2.5 tdi like ad says. Theyre 2.5 td/19j i think Csws hold value better though. If I was you I'd check out the land rover forums selling sections as you'll probably find a better deal and more likely to have been looked after. If problems might find out rarther than a garage...

    Help Removing Front Propshaft

    A 9/16 3/8 drive socket (heard quarter drive works too but it's a fair bit of torque for that size) socket fits fine on an extention bar and probably cheaper/you may have if you have any socket sets And a decent ring spanner goes a long way. Impact gun makes it so easy too. And I've been using...

    Puma bulkhead

    He didn't use d3 one he used the defender tdci one to match bulkhead. You could use a similar custom housing to use the d3 hi low too I suppose. You can fit a d3 one but the hilow button obv useless. Could always blank off. Think the one I saw his hi low came out infront as D2 box in like a box...

    Puma bulkhead

    I did disco box too to plus the heater works pretty well. Mines to a 300tdi engine so maybe easier. Gatso did a custom lever housing so he could use the tdci tunnel and levers without cutting seatbox. Think he had a pneumatic hi low lever. I just cut seatbox and made a custom gear tunnel and...

    2005 Rear Wiper Spindle

    The teeth are pretty fine on them anyway, just thought it might be worth a try before you start drilling it! They usually go on the arm before the spindle

What I've used to make a new glowplug loom for mine. Flexi con and appropriate guage coloured and sleeved cable. Be a fraction of the price and just...

    Petrol tank wiring loom part number

    Can you not just use some flex or multicore? And either replace the damaged section or wire it direct to the warning lights and fuel guage

    2005 Rear Wiper Spindle

    Are you certain it's the spindle? Mine looked crap but when I changed the wiper arm it worked fine. The notches on the arm are softer than the spindle

    Air filter and Snorkel

    Also if you intend to properly wade get the kit for axel and gearbox plus timing case breathers and some wading plugs. Make sure your crankcase is breathing into the turbo pipe too and not just hanging like mine was when got it

    They're both water drains. I got a set of basically the whole thing (supposidly) for 75 quid. All pipes dump and filter. But it was missing the second section of the filter - turbo pipe so gota pay like 40 quid for new one of those... if I were you and having a snorkel I'd just go pirtek or...

    Defender truck cab rear sliding window

    The masai wrap around windows look awesome and very easy to fit. I'm tempted to turn mine from a van to a csw with them
