Whoops just see how old this thread was !!!!

Low oil pressure, or not enough oil, or the wrong can cause ticking

OK thanks cappers, I've got a factory V8 90 project that I bought 3 years ago I'm into it for around 12k, but me mum is needing more of my time and I'm thinking of selling it, I'll have to see, thanks again

Hi did you find a v8 defender project ?

Thanks guys as always

Hi all, can anyone please help me find out what colour my 1985 v8 90 is, No photos as its all in bits and scattered about But it's exactly the same as the one that is on the front of rimmer bros 90 110 parts catalogue, My v5c just says blue Any help is really appreciated Dave.

Hi all Anyone know if a v8 engine was painted straight out the factory The one I've got has been vapour blasted so I'm not sure if it's ever had paint on it Thanks in advance

Hi, I started a full restoration on my v8 90 end of last year My little bit of advice is to get a couple of those cheap plastic storage boxes Then all the rusty bits that come off , that you think is junk and ready for the bin , Stick them in the boxes , I've had a few times when I've thought...

Welcome to the zone

Yeah it's a 85 model I dont think that you need to use a primer on abs plastic Just abraded before it's painted I think I'm going to go with them As I haven't heard any horror stories

Thats good news as I'm in the process of restoring my V8 ninety I do want it to look good I don't suppose that I will be going off road that much But it's there if I need it

So these are what I have been looking at https://www.paddockspares.com/90-110-n-s-frt-outer-wing-plastic-1.html Good point you made about the denting

Anyone know what the abs plastic wings are like, As I need a pair of new ones for my ninety They are half the price of Ali wings I once had a freelander and it had plastic wings and you really couldn't tell the difference Any thoughts Thanks

Thanks for the help guys, going to go with the external pump as all good points

Originally my 1985 V8 90 had an external fuel pump on the chassis But seeing as all the original parts are rusted and I've got to start the fuel system from scratch I've got the opportunity to fit either an intank or external fuel pump So the question is, is there any pro's or cons to either...

No probs, all the best

I've got one that came off 85 ninety I will get a picture of it for you tomorrow, don't want anything for it, I'm near Swaffham in norfolk, or I can box it up for you

Ah yeah could be, they would be to narrow for my seat frames but might be for a newer frame, Good call

Anyone know what these are, and if they fit on a 85 v8 90 Any help is appreciated

Here's my phone number if anyone is interested in the bulkhead Like I said it's free If it doesn't go then it's off to the recycling centre 07904 952202 Dave
