    best soundproofing/ insulation ideas? techniques?

    I had ordered a kit from Wright Off Road in October to sound proof the front and hopefully make a professional finish but as i am still waiting for it i guess i may be using some of these ideas instead. Every week i ring and every week i get told it is just being manufactured and should be with...

    center dash console

    Why cut and weld the gear lever? Just unbolt it at the bottom and rotate it one or two splines to suit then bolt it back on. Less than five minutes and no hassle.

    surely it cant be?

    A nice looking truck if you just want it to trailer to off road days but wouldn't touch it with a barge pole if it was going to be used on the road. This is a blatantly obvious case of a series id being applied to a Defender. I am no expert but even i know that none of the series of that age had...

    300 tdi into Defender 2.5td (overheating?)

    Moving gear lever

I was going to look into altering the gear lever by bending it slightly but someone said that it can be rotated round on its splines to change its position...

    Overheating ???

    Sounds like a good idea. Particularly in the summer when towing. I will have a look at doing it over the xmas break if the weather isn't to bad. Thanks.

    Overheating ???

    I have the same on mine. I am running a 300TDi in my 1990 90" and after fitting a TIM electric gauge i was getting readings of 95 on a normal run pushing 100 towing a caravan up a long incline and working the engine hard. I was initially worried but after lots of checking and no coolant loss i...
