This is the key. Very ver different between first na engined 90/110. And the last puma models. Dealer would let you drive what you are looking to buy but doesn’t help you choose between models if you have no experience.

That maybe so but they are all interchangeable so it doesn't matter along as it doesn't leak.

Problem solved.... Went for the easy solutions first. Disassembeled the regulators and found that one of the "locking pins" was damaged. Some sanding and lubricating, and things seem to be alright...:) The air goes where i want it to go....

I am happy to be corrected by other members more experienced than me as I am involved with the older end rather than the newer end. But it was my understanding that a 4 bolt box was a 4bolt box and they were the same from the very first defender...

That is the same design as mine is with the clamps to hold it in place. As mentioned above on the thread there are older versions that were designed to be bolted to the gutter rather than clamped in place. I was careful to avoid these when I was...

I set mine up with a gauge, but I’m confident I could do it again without one. It’s like tightening nuts, bolts and screws etc. You just get a feel for what’s right.

I will admit to setting mine up by feel similar to others here and usually with the rear seal in place as I am adjusting rather than rebuilding. I have never removed the disc, even when setting up properly first couple of times I did it using a...

the flaps themselves are in the dash ducting so you need to disassemble completely to fully access. However it is far more likely to be a cable issue than the flaps. I would start at the control end and see if the cable is firstly still attached...

I have a compressor. I still refuse to learn to spray it. Far too much risk of getting it wrong and messing the panel up. At least with a brush and roller if you get it wrong you can recover it by going over it again while Still wet! Two year is...

I cheat and use coach enamel and a gloss roller, so if you are doing it properly and trying to spray it then you have a even steeper learning curve than I did. Mine is not perfect and is a daily drive so i am not going for concourse and you can...

As you seem to have replaced all of the steering components already I would echo the do not assume a recon box is a good bax. however I would be also looking to check some of the other components. You say you have replaced the radius arm bushes...

Agree with the above, but if you want them to last a lifetime replace the stock pistons with stainless before refitting. You talking about prop shafts in point B? If so just use the original style, you are not lifting and the wheel and trye...

Have some pictures to help you and OP, depending on how much work you are doing to the rear body there is a fair amount of station wagon body rebuild documented on my thread here: LINK You can see on the below the panels is removed showing the...

Very valid point above ^^ 2x 100watt halogen spotlights have a 16.6 amp draw at 12v so you do not want more than a 20amp fuse. If you are using a standard 2x 55watt bulb then that is a 9.2amp draw at 12v so you want a 10 amp fuse. If you are...

I think the answer is to not trust the gauge and reset the trip metre every time and refill on mileage. I refill at 200miles as a maximum. I have played with my sender repeatedly, added additional earths to it etc, and it still only shows 3/4...

Haha fair shout 😅 I was deep in a Google rabbit hole and suddenly found a bunch of people asking the exact same thing I was struggling with, got excited, started typing… didn’t even notice I’d time-travelled back to 2011 Still, glad to see some...

Meh...sorry but you sound like a nightmare customer. Fair enough initial lack of communication is poor but tell me if I've got this right. On the 21st you were told delivery due on the 24th or you'd receive a refund. The day after the 24th you...

15/40 will be fine, mineral is what will have orginally been speced but any 15/40 will work with the engine. the 19J is also renowned for leaking and smoking (similar to most land rover products of a certain age!) do you have a couple of pics of...

and if you really want to go the extra mile once you have cleaned it all off give it a dusting of talcum powder to really show up any oil leak pathways.

That is correct, paint them before fitting as the lip on it sits behind the main side panel on the tub so cannot be accessed for painting after fitting.

Not a large job at all. They are riveted just riveted into place. Through the line of holes you can see In The picture. Will take longer to paint to match than to actually fit!

Are they not a straight m6? The other captives in the pillar for the toe plate seat box etc are.

I only have the single side on my 110, you can buy them just as a single. I also bent mine so it does not act as bumper but the towball is the furthest rear point which is more robust than the step if you do hit anything.

keep everything in as large a section as possible until you have a chassis you are ready to start fitting things to. e.g. remove the leaf springs form the chassis leaving full axles assembled, remove the bulkhead complete, do not strip down the...

Pictures, All the pictures, both of the vehicle as a whole so we can be nosy, and also some of the side of the engine leaking (I apricate that may not show much but will give an idea) @meego retracted his comment but the oil filter and cooler...

That is a very subjective question and one that only you can answer. I do about 25k a year in my 200tdi 110, this has reduced from the last few years were it was high 30k's. My stand point is my 200tdi is fine for long distance motorway journeys...

Stock steering does not return to centre (RTC), Unless you have a RTC damper fitted that is normal. I have also just fitted a recon box and because the whole box is tighter the damper has "less" effect and you can feel it less. For your other...

Isolate the spotlight wiring for now and concentrate on finding your headlight problem first.

That sounded like the problem to me. I had that challenge putting spotlights on my td5. On more modern vehicles (like the td5) the factory switches are all on the negative side of the circuit. On an earlier defender as the OP has will be on the...

Number 3 is the pipe, but the parts manual also gives you the o-ring number from which you should be able to look up the size.
