One tip with the high lift, Keep fingers well out of the way! Or use a normal jack with some timber chocks.

Looks a nice 90.

Congratulations. cant wait for some pics:)

it was an excellent weekend, i was in the a blue 90 with the black soft top.

If its gutless then it needs money spending on it, my dad outed his td5 disco because after the head cracked, new head, new con rods due to the volume of diesel going into the bores when it cracked,they had bent. new this new that, blah blah blah. after thousands spent, not one person could put...

well i have just got back from a weekend playing in slindon. my friend has the terrafirma +5 setup on his defender and we was having a bit of cross axle playing about. my 90 has more twist at the back so now i need to find out what length shocks are on the back. because he had a wheel up in the...

An updated one. I had another excellent weekend at Slindon

Yes the bottom mount on the front shock is an eye. i may well take off the bottom mount and put an +2 or +5 pin mount shock in its place. Extreme 4x4 haven't replied to my email so much for customer service. Joe

I have emailed extreme 4x4 to see what they come up with. when i said shock upside down. i meant it would be reversed to how it sits if used on the rear because the eye is at the top on the rear but if i installed a rear shock on the front the eye would be at the bottom. would this cause any...

it was already on it http://www.extreme4x4.co.uk/acatalog/ext4L.jpg in this picture you can just see the bottom mounting

Il get some pics tomorrow. you could be right with converting back to pin and pin. i think its got a bolt on bracket to take the eye so this might come off. just not sure what the gains are for having an eye at the bottom.

I would have to check but i think the pin's at the top so a rear shock would be running upside down.

Hello, my 90 has the scorpion extreme suspension fitted and the front shocks are near the end of their life. So im looking at replacements, obviously i could go to extreme 4x4 and buy the front shocks, but i haven't been too impressed with them and they have been rebuilt once already. the only...

weathers looking good for the weekend. James it wont stay that clean on friday:D

the photo is two years old now and i have added lights on the roll cage and blacked in the chequer plate now. il get a new photo this weekend when im back at slindon.

you will be afraid of electrics by the time you have finished with a TD5 my dad has all the receipts and grey hairs to prove it:lol: stick with a nice late 300tdi so much easier to diagnose a problem also easier to do field repairs on.

Ok thanks for the reply it looks like il be changing the fill neck. Regards joe

Hopefully ive fixed the links now.

Hello does anyone know if i can put i locking fuel cap on my 90 its a 1985 90 and its currently got this cap on it http://www.paddockspares.com/nrc9572-fuel-cap-to-aa259678-vented-2-lug-non-locking.html and ideally would like to put a lockable one on so was hoping this would fit...
