Ah, the oldies are always the best! welcome also from east sussex!

Count me in for a tenners worth to!

I'm the same as grunt sounds fun but not sure my 90 would make the distance, cant even get round the m25, hence the extra hazard lights i have!! perhaps we could do a tow relay take it in turns to break down!! cheers Andy

Hi there, I've seen a Rear Wheel Carrier with Hi-lift jack holder from scorpion racing which seems better than the mantec one as it doesnt fit over the wheel. Any one with experiance of these and does anyone know of other suppliers? cheers Andy

Thanks Marcus, I want to do the same with an over ride switch, were did you feed the wire through from the engine compartment and I was thinking of bringing a power lead from the battery which was able to handle other lights etc. What do you think? thanks for support

Done a search to try and establish the best route for the wire coming from the spots on the front to the dashboard. trying to use the bulkhead grommets but having a nightmare trying to remove the dashboard facia, Is there a better way? Any suggests gratefully accepted! cheers

Hi Guys, About to fit a raised air intake to my 90 any tips accepted gratefully, also any websites with good fitting instructions would be good Thanks

Thats cool, do you know if ne of them use a particular watering hole!! would be good to share the pain and get some ideas and try and figure were im going wrong!! cheers Andrew

Hi Daniel, I've got a 90 2.5td, they are well know for being abit lacking in power also depending on age they can be quite tempramental to start (mine is!) and do require a good heavy duty battery. Hope that helps, just luv it through!! cheers Andrew

hi Thanks for reply, Good thought I'll check it out when the rain stops!! cheers Andrew

Hi Ade, Thanks for message, Glad I'm not the only one in the far south east trying to work on a land rover (most of the cars are beat up metros around here!!) Mines 90 is a runner (sort of got problems with a over heating transfer box) Spent alot on it to get it through MOT so hopefully I can...

Nah, thats Eastbourne, hastings is full of chavs with metros!! hence lonely land rover! cheers Andrew

hi Hastings is so far south its the forgotten land! cheers Andrew

Hi, I was thinking of that!! on account of the any close wires might melt!! It is possible it has something to do with the exhaust, once the weather improved i give it a better look thanks Andrew

Hi There, Thanks for replying. Thats the strange I would expect it to be knocking or crunching but runs a treat!! But it really gets hot to level that it could melt any wiring close by!! cheers Andrew

hi there, A challenge! I have a very hot transfer gear box, gives great underfloor heating but gets abit hot when my seat belt buckle starts burning me!! oil ok and changed, runs like a treat any suggestions? thanks Andrew

Hi Everyone, Keen to learn if there is anyone in the forum who lives close to hastings east sussex who might possibily be restoring a series 90 or defender. cheers Andrew
