    Big Tyres

    My 90 has 33/12.50/15s fitted.. meaning the overall height is the same as a 285, just incase i have more than 1 flat tyre i wanted to be able to borrow a wheel off another bloke. Meaning 33's are almost identical rolling size wise. The only difference from 285/65/16s is the thickness. I had to...

    How did this happen......

    Is it ok to have a man crush on someone with loads of tools?...
  5. JayMac88

    What should I do?

    If your serious about using it again. Keep it. If your unsure, sell it to someone who will get use from it before it falls to bits on your path and you end up scrapping the thing when you cannot be bothered to fix it!

    How did this happen......

    I cant understand how some people have so many tools!? Ive got a toolbag and a decent 200piece socket set i carry around in the storage chest in my 90. And ive not come across a job i couldnt do with what i carry?

    Who is going to Billing then?

    Me and the missus will be going with the Merseyside Landrover Owners Club! Keep a lookout for a young lad, with his missus being pulled along by a stupid yellow labrador!

    mirrors for those without 6' necks

    Ill be at Billing this year, so im gonna keep my eye out for some larger wing mirrors, because we all know that standard mirrors leave lots to be desired

    My 300tdi 90!

    Bought myself a M reg (1995) Defender 90 300 tdi 2 years ago, the lad who originally rebuilt it had painted it orange and blue, ************** although i liked the colours and thought it made it stand out from all the black or green defender that we all see everywhere, i got fed up of all the...

    Steering feels rough

    Ill have a go at disconnecting the drop arm tomorrow to see of the roughness is caused by something above or below the steering box. As of the Uj. Id never bother paying stupid money for a genuine part when you can get bearmach for a fraction of the cost! £9 for a bearmach UJ as opposed to £50...

    Steering feels rough

    All fluids are good, swivel preload is good. I think im gonna replace the UJs on the steering column tomorrow, for the sake of 2 quid each ill do them anyway. And ill see if i can spot any wobble or play as soon as the wife gets home and is willing to help me by wobbling steering for 15 mins!

    Steering feels rough

    Ball joints are tight, were replaced 2years/8000 miles ago, all i can really think of is maybe the box is a dodgy recon?
  14. JayMac88

    Steering feels rough

    Yep, its all tight. Im baffled!

    Steering feels rough

    Over the last few weeks ive been trying to find the cause of my steering problem on my 90, 300tdi. First i had death wobble (hitting a pothole sends the steering wheel mad with shaking) which i resolved by checking swivel preload and that wobble went away. Next my steering was feeling really...

    Whats your most hated repair/maintenace job on a Defender?

    I just simply just dont touch any of that electric wizardry. I just call a spark i know and bribe him with tea and biscuits

    Defender 90 300tdi M reg exhaust pipe problems

    Surely a straight through pipe should be exactly that... straight thru.. i fitted a stainless steel straight thru pipe to my 300 and it was simply a stainless pipe from exhause manifold to the rear of my motor?
  18. JayMac88

    Has anyone fitted one of these RDX Command Consoles ??

    Ive got a raptor dash in my 300tdi 90. Looks really nice and also has the utility of having all the switches looking professionally installed. +1

    Whats your most hated repair/maintenace job on a Defender?

    Uj's... i just cringe every time i hear a clunk when pulling away. Since i know that clunk has just cost me 15 quid and an hour laying under my motor
