Looking around the forum a few people have plumbed an additional heater matrix into the back of their Defenders. I'm interested in doing this to mine - but I've got a couple of questions... Where did you site it in the back ? Did you fit an additional blower fan? And where did you route the...

Thanks motiztab Where did you site it in the back ? And where did you route the water pipes ?

I've adjusted the heater in my 90 and it's miles better than it was. But the back is still freezing. Has anyone installed a rear heater in a 90 with back seats ? I had a look at Webasto's but they're miles more expensive than I want to pay. Anyone plumbed in an additional rear heater-matrix ? Or...

Well, after a lot of trying to prise the UJs apart I've realised that they all seem ok but I've got play in the splined joint on the rear propshaft. New prop on order - just hope it's the right length.... :confused:

I put these on mine - best £30 I ever spent

If anyone knows of another thread which answers this then please point me in the right direction.... but I can't find one... When changing gear in my 200tdi 90, but only if I have the window open, I can hear a metallic-sounding clank as I change gear. I can't hear any noise from inside so I...

Thanks for all the advice guys. I'll give it a go mounting straight into switch panel that's already there and if that doesn't work out I'll go to Mud stuff

Did you have to reinforce the centre bit where you put the switch ?

Thanks - I'll have a closer look at the oval insert thing

I've just wired up some spot-lights on my 200tdi. All working fine, but I'm trying to figure out the best place to mount the switch (one of those small-ish blue light-up rocker things) on the dash. All the existing switch slots are full (including the one under the dials). Anyone successfully...

I tried doing mine and broke it. Then a windscreen fitter had a go and broke another one. Finally he had another go and got it in sucessfully. 3rd time lucky...

Mine started weeping diesel through a rusty patch on the front end - where the guard should have been if it hadn't rusted away. As a temporary measure until I could get a new tank I put some Loctite silicone sealant over the leak and that worked great until I fitted a new tank. In fact after I...

Mine does the same but it only seems to be when it's cold. Once it's warmed up it seems fine. Reading some of the posts above I'm wondering if I should be worried ?

I don't do a particularly high mileage. Should I be changing my oil based on time (every year or whatever) or at the mileage in the manual ? Don't want to wreck my engine but no point paying out for new oil/filter if it's no benefit

Thanks for the advice

I've been trying to set the pre-load on one of my swivel pins. All seemed to be going ok (apart from all the oil emptying itself on my garage floor unexpectedly) until I came to set the pre-load with a spring balance. The hub is stiff to turn at first, then it turns easily, gets stiff again...

Just done mine. The left hand one was a nightmare ! WD40 had no effect. Nut-splitter wouldn't split the nut (not even enough room to get my BIG nut-splitter in), it just put holes in it. Chisel did the same. Drilled holes in it until my drill went blunt. Eventually came off with chain-wrench on...

Just swapped one of mine, which was leaking like crazy. Bottom nut was a nightmare. The other side seems ok but should I be changing that one too ?

They look similar - these are the ones I got: Wipac Crystal Halogen Head Lamps - Pair RHD - Excluding Bulbs - Britpart RTC4615C at www.rimmerbros.co.uk Meant Wipac - doh !

I put some Hella clear-lens units on mine and even with the same H4 bulbs the improvement over my old ones was dramatic. Money well spent
