Why would anyone want to sleep on the top of a 90? Get a proper tent and an air bed.

Yes, I found wearing wellies and the thick rubber foam backed floor mats, made it awkward for me with the pedals. I prefer bare metal floors.

A bit thick for the drivers footwell? I have taken all the mats out of mine as well, I think the green paint looks better and the water is easily mopped up or runs out under the doors :-)

Why ? It's difficult to clean, just get a rubber liner. No fitting, take it out to clean, no rust :-)

Poor management, over exposure to diesel products, dependency on USA then China, I'm not surprised.

Removed all sound proofing from footwells/bulkhead and started stripping off the double sided tape used to fix it originally. Tape is foam, soundproofing is foam backed, guaranteed to retain water and help rust-out the floor. Footwells look nice and green and shiny, apart from said rust. Water...

Probably cheaper to modify the garage, lowering might cause insurance problems.

I've stripped all the rubber mats out, sprayed the footwells with WD40 and parked on a slight slope. That way the water runs out under the doors.

I took all the ply wood and sound insulation out of mine. No more rust traps. I hate plywood and sticky tape, looks awful.

Taken the sound proofing off the seat boxes and cleaned some of the sticky-back tape off, sounds the same, looks a lot nicer :-)

Get rid of the alloys, spot lights, chequer plate, County stripe. Put it back to standard :-)

A Fiat 500 to a Defender, excellent, you will love it. I hated the Fiat 500 I had to drive for work. I scowl at every one I see. I smile and wave at Defenders. Go for it and don't worry about insolvency, you can sell the house ;-)

My fuse box is the same as that in the photo. Water seeped down the back of it and on rough ground some of the fuses worked loose. Sorted the leak and cleaned the fuses and holders, rarely happens now. Cost zero.

Ignore my last post, it did have EGR and some components have been removed :-(

My tdi 300 1997 Defender has a sticker with 1.68 on it and passed recently at 1.2. Does anyone with a 1997 Defender have a photo of the unmodified EGR fittings in place? I was told it had been removed but it seems to be intact, may be blanked.

I had to start mine like that every morning for about a year until the garage renewed the earth lead from the battery .......oops

Thank you, going in for service and MOT in October so I'll get it sorted then :-)

The deflection in the middle of the track rod is about 5mm. I put spacers under the bracket to adjust it's position. The knocking has nearly gone, it only happens on very rough ground and now I know the cause, I don't worry about it :-)
