    No road tax for handbuilt 90

    Actually, it might have been 1972. My memory for important things is awful. Also, after reading this I'm baffled as to how he achieved it, unless he build it pre-1998: http://www.glencoyne.co.uk/vosalaw.htm

    No road tax for handbuilt 90

    Found a new and improved mechanic that's mad for Landy's the other day. His modified 90 was parked outside the garage and he popped over to talk me round it. Interestingly, he'd taken a 1974 Range Rover chassis, reduced it's length, and now the entire vehicle (which looks as good as any other...

    New booties!

    Craddocks should do better than Paddocks. Their quoted product page prices DO NOT include VAT (until you get to the basket page) but THEY DO include balancing and shipping, which is nice.

    Front windscreen washer pump

    Oh, before I forget, here's how to adjust the sprayers: 1) WD40 down hole and leave for upto 5 mins. 2) Find paperclip with equal or less diameter width of hole. 3) Poke paperclip into hole, wiggle to de-seize, turn on washer and get blinded by screen wash. Scream F**K! Tip: DON'T use knitting...

    Front windscreen washer pump

    Gaffa taped the washer stick to the on position and started multimeter testing the two pumps attached to the water bottle. As I was doing so they started working again! I find this more annoying than them not working because I have no idea what the initial problem was or whether it'll occur...

    Name that roof rack!!!

    They are nice, it must be said. I, however, just fitted 3 x Triton bars and painted them black, which worked out at £108 delivered, so not too expensive.

    Front windscreen washer pump

    Before I drilled and mounted a speaker in the passenger side dash of my 110 (1992) the front windscreen washers were working, but now they've stopped. Checked the fuse, fine. Then took the hose off the valve coming from the washer bottle in the engine compartment but nothing squirted out (it...

    Coolest Landrover you've seen thread

    The tourist board should really be consulted in Heathrow's PR meetings. They at least could have sprayed the wing mirror housings and front grill with a nice satin black finish.

    Coolest Landrover you've seen thread

    So that's an old Defender 90 with a FECKING GREAT ROCKET LAUNCHER sticking out the middle. Good for traffic, and as far as replacing the middle seat goes a wise choice for those not fond of roadworks traffic.
