    Steering a bit knotty

    Try some wd40 on the steering shaft ujs under the bonnet. If it gets better, time to change the problem one.

    Quick check on roof removal, please.

    Sealant will be keeping it stuck to the windscreen surround.

    Exhausts...any experience with this system?

    Side exit is what you just described.

    90 HANDBRAKE REBUILD

    What was wrong with the original. Usually just seize up and then are fine when freed and greased.

    200tdi exhaust downpipe modification.

    I made my own using the original manifold pipe and just cut up an exhaust pipe until it fitted and welded the joints. The whole pipe has just crumbled away to rust. Doing it the easy way this time.

    200tdi exhaust downpipe modification.

    Anybody got the 200tdi into a 90 exhaust downpipe modification kicking around and for sale. Greasing the ujs and noticed my downpipe is nearly right through, time for the conversion pipe now. I can get a new one but second hand is better and cheaper.

    Perhaps I won't buy a Defender...

    Get the real one instead.

    Problem starting

    Trace the starter wire back to the block connector if there is one and while someone works the key, bend and twist the block and see if it works and work back from there. There may be some modifications in the mix, trace it all the way.

    Problem starting

    Fuse ok. Not loose or dirty. If you put 12v direct to little wire on starter, does it fire.

    Potential 110 project

    Just register it in your name online. When the new log book gets to you, sorn it online. You can't sorn it until you own it. No need for receipts etc.

    Hydraulic pipe doesn't fit new clutch cylinder

    What part did you buy, it will be the other one. What engine is your r380 connected to. Did you buy the 5072. The difference is one will fit and the other one won't.

    Hydraulic pipe doesn't fit new clutch cylinder

    You don't say what you have. Guess at this one. Really depends on what you own.

    Potential 110 project

    R380, roof and sides are a personal choice. If carrying passengers then windows are good, just rubbish in the back, leave it as van sides.

    Hydraulic pipe doesn't fit new clutch cylinder

    Post your part numbers but you should really get a new flexi as well. Do all three at same time.

    Melted wiring :-O

    Cut out the bad bits and see if fuses etc are still popping. Replace bad bits with new wire and graft it in. Beats the massive job you are planning.

    Yes. Same starter. Paddocks use the err5009 number.

    WHICH WORKSHOP JACK FOR A 90 TD5?

    https://www.sgs-engineering.com/tja25-aluminium-trolley-jack?gclid=Cj0KCQjw8rT8BRCbARIsALWiOvSPSPKip7q6UDKLOgWgncAQ_BPi5PBMNVf85Y1M9LateN2-NdGvNs0aAm9OEALw_wcB I have this one, more expensive but very light for a big jack. Worth the extra, easy to lift into land rover etc.

    R380 selector issue.

    As above, do the three items together if you can. Slave, master and flexi.

    Time to galvanise?

    Time for a new chassis. Sounds like you have had enough of the rust and so has your mot boy.
