    Alternate door hinges

    Just a thought but the rear door hinges are a more robust design with easily replaceable hinge pins and ball bearings. I know there were very similar (if not identical) fitted to Series doors but the problem would then be how to mount the mirrors? I've never seen a rear door sag or end up...

    Defender 110 Heater Matrix Shaft Clip

    As requested. I got rid of the lever that controls the flap and low/high settings as frankly its utter crap and I've never closed the vent in my almost 10 years of Land Rover ownership. I bought a Durite 3 position switch - off, low and high. Connected the positive and negative from the existing...

    Service Kit

    Go to your local motor factors and just buy the bits. They'll most likely be far better quality than kits that bearmach or ****part do. You won't need a lot - enough engine oil for a full change, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, ep80 and atf to top up your diffs, transfer box and gearbox...

    Defender 110 Heater Matrix Shaft Clip

    For the amount of time you actually use the flap I wouldn't worry about it. I did away with my one that controls the speed and vent closed entirely and replaced it with something far better. The only time I turn the temp to cold is in the summer and its rare I'll use the lever to adjust the...

    Alternate door hinges

    The fact there's no actual bearing of sorts in there either really doesn't help and it's just a dry pin with no way to internally lubricate it besides the occasional spray of grease or WD40

    Road Tax For Defender 90

    The DVLA site tells you all you need to know with regards to cost of road tax. It's entirely dependent on the age of the vehicle and the engine size. Go look it up instead of getting people on here to do it for you, it's freely available and easy to find

    Alternate door hinges

    Unsure, I think they're just insufficient for the job they're supposed to do. You can buy ones with greasable pins but again those cost a fortune. Companies make far better improved rear door hinges yet the front door hinges all follow the exact same pattern and i don't care if they're made from...

    Alternate door hinges

    I've never seen affordable new hinges that don't already have unwanted movement in them. It's a joke

    Alternate door hinges

    They're a crap design and I don't want to buy the same hinges only to be faced with misaligned doors because they dropped again in a few years

    Alternate door hinges

    That's the problem, they cost silly money and I just don't have a couple hundred quid to drop on hinges that are the same design. There must be some for another vehicle that fit, maybe rear door hinges from a van?

    Alternate door hinges

    Has anyone found anything else that fits? I'm loathe to pay over 200 quid for a few blocks of hinged aluminium and frankly I think the standard design of the hinges is pretty crap. There must be other hinges out there for cars or vans that will fit well enough and be an improvement over the...

    Strange Turbo on 1996 Discovery 300tdi

    The turbo looks completely standard to me. What are you confused about?

    Ahhh, I didn't even recognise it with the alloy on! I've got them fitted all round on mine

    Cab roof problem

    Original was called a J nut, you can buy them cheaply on ebay

    Sudden stearing lunge.

    I've never seen that before. The Td5 hub isn't that much different from older ones so I've no idea what you've got, maybe someone else can shed light on it? The rubber cap is to go over the drive flange and cover the end of the half shaft

    Turbo 'impeller' wobble

    Just rebuild it. I bought a new UK made turbo core for 120 quid and did it myself. Absolute piece of **** to do and you're safe in the knowledge your turbo is good as new
