    Manually spin prop shaft

    I’m probably being very stupid here but should I be able to manually spin the prop shaft (to remove bolts) with the handbrake off, 90 in neural and diff lock on N?

    Recommendations for Breather Hoses

    Any recommendations for where to get replacement breather hoses e.g. the one here for the crankcase breather hose? Having a quick search around, some seem very expensive (could be they’re just out of stock and don’t want anyone buying them).

    New Rattle Noise (w/ Video)

    It’s dark so I can’t take a good look, but thought someone may be able to play “name that tune rattle. It feels like it’s coming from the rear but this may be the sound travelling through something else. Happens when I’m off the throttle mostly, or at lower revs and happens regardless of clutch...

    Hole Identification on LT77 Gearbox

    I’m still learning about the Defender 90 as I go. Was hoping someone could help me understand what the two “holes” are on the photos attached. These are captured from a video I took underneath when I was looking for something else. Appreciate the help!

    1m light bar fixings

    I’ve been gifted a 1m roof light bar but without any brackets. Does anyone have examples of how the same type of light bars have been fitted, conscious that it’s not the full roof width. ✌🏻

    5th gear “resistance”

    I’ve noticed today that in 5th gear at higher speed (55/60) and when I take my foot off the accelerator, it feels like I have more “resistance” (for want of a better word). I can feel it through the accelerator pedal and generally in the cabin. Is this something obvious (that I’m struggling to...

    Transfer box clunk, low revs, whilst turning

    Hi Guys, I've experienced this only in the past few days, and other than describing it as a 'clunk' I don't know what to look for. I appear to be getting a clunk every now and again, fairly violent, from what sounds like the transfer box. This just happened to me on the way home tonight where...

    LED Full Beam - Very weird situation

    I had meant to post this last week when I had this situation. I have LED headlights fitted to my 1991 90. The issue I had (may still have) is that the drivers side full beam didn’t come on when the stalk is pushed in, and the drivers light actually went dimmer. Also, on flashing (pulling...

    New speedo cable, no speed…

    I have purchased a new Speedo cable due to the old one having a snapped plastic clip and the Speedo needle bouncing around. The new cable however, when installed, doesn’t move the needle at all. Removing the Speedo, I can see the thing spinning so my connection into the gearbox is sound...

    Lock Issues in the cold

    Had issues this morning opening the 90 in the cold. Opened it from the inside having got in the back, but the problem I now have is the lock is still inoperable and the door won’t latch closed (even if unlocked I don’t mind) Any tips or pointers on how I can sort this quickly?

    Headlight “flicker” on the bumps

    Possibly due to the amount of snow picking up even more of a reflection, but my headlights seem to be flickering when I go over bumps (and piles of snow/ice) I don’t think I’m hallucinating, although it’s impossible to look at the front of the vehicle I’m driving. Would this suggest dodgy...

    Anyone else got snow? ❄️

    Quite a lot up here in Yorkshire. Been out doing side missions this morning, pulling a few cars and giving stranded walkers a lift to Tesco 😂

    Wiring Quiz 😂

    Still working my way through the rats nest of wiring in the 90 200 TDI. I have various wires I need to identify (or rule out of caring about). I’ve sorted a bunch through elimination but have various things just not plugged into anything. I’ll post in separate replies to allow people to reply...

    Indicator “Warning” Light Not Working

    My Defender has LED indicators (and headlights) which were fitted before I owned it. The warning light doesn’t illuminate or flash when the indicators are on, regardless of whether the lights are on. I’ve changed the bulb in the warning light for one I know works and no change. Any advice on...

    LT77 Gearbox Noise Cancelling

    I’ve seen on a few videos there’s a piece of foam / sponge within the gear shift space, to reduce the noise. Can anyone tell me what this is called or link me to somewhere to buy?

    Wipers not working, but washers are

    Another day another joy. Todays issue - wipers not working, but washers are. I first thought they were just stuck as it was -3*C outside this morning, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. My plan is to look at the following: Fuses Relay Attempt to run power directly to motor Before I stick...
