I wouldn't want HD springs on the rear of an unladen 90 PU.

Today may just be your lucky day! A friend has just converted his 110" to a soft top and has the side panels and roof. It had an front external roll cage which came through the roof above the driver and passenger head level but guess you could cover with a round plate and fill? If you want to...

Starter jammed? Would explain the fact that you're only getting a click and you've checked the obvious things. Could have some muck in it? Either way, try to start it again and if it clicks then whack the starter with something reasonably hefty. If it still doesn't start then rock the Defender...

Same happened to me, which was due to a bent steering arm following an off road incident.

Yep, had a decent day out. Was in a 90 soft top and 90 sw.

Yep, sounds like a TD5 E which was the same as a commercial but with the 2nd row of seats and glass (obviously). New they were £21995 without metallic paint. Not that far from an S spec in reality. Seem to remember something unusual about the rear seats (no arm rest or centre head rest...

Lots of talk of chassis snapping if picker is too far back. Would seem the LR dropped using specific 130 chassis and instead use lengthened 110 chassis. Pressure of weight and movement when unit lifted on 'feet' has caused a few to crack and collapse. If pre-TD5 then should be ok, but if...

The holes in the arch seem to be very slightly too small for the plastic clips, plus the area where the holes seem pushed in if that makes sense? Was joking about fitting them! On the list (inc snorkel and bulkhead bar) for when it's MOT'd at the end of the month! I'll chuck it all in the back...

You don't leave near Tring Hertfordshire do you as I'd happily pay you some beer tokens to swap my arches as it took US so long to fit one that we didn't bother with the rest!!

And allocate an hour per arch and get someone to help. Probably the most hateful DIY job I've done on my 90!

Do you have a headlamp level adjuster on the dash? If so then it'll be that, especially if both dropped at the same time.

Same happened to me, but I'm pretty sure it was a slave cylinder. Guy who fixed it said it was common for them to go. Mine also happened after a p n p day, so perhaps it is connected to using the brakes with more effort?

May drop in to Brickhill on the way back as only spending a couple of hours at Whaddon!!!

Is that the one involving CVLR? I agreed ages ago to meet a mate at Whaddon as he's bought a 90 with a Husky and a boot full of gear, but as the saying goes 'all the gear, no idea'. Going to find a quiet corner and run through the do's and dont's, so he has half a chance if he gets in the crap!

Anyone else going?

Mines a soft-top with inward facing rear seats. So, was it just paperwork or did you have it inspected?

Can I ask what you had to do? Is it a simple case of amending the V5 and sending it to DVLA, or do you need to write to them, or is it something more complicated? I'd be grateful of some advice from someone who has changed their classification.

My grandparents used to live in West Wellow so I know it well. I'll have to check out that lane next time I'm that way.
