    Spotlights - how to wire???

    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 positive side. It sounds like @_Stingrey_ is...

    Land Rover 90 Leaking PAS Hose

    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.

    Roof rack

    That is going to by my comment. The clamps are available to buy (LINK first hit on google) but when I needed some for mine i contact brown church direct and ordered from them. but this looks to be missing the mount on the roof rack leg for the lamp to bolt through. I believe some early series...

    Which relay is which?

    Surely will only have a fuel pump if other things are non-stangard. A 200tdi is a mechanical lift and injector so i would not expect an electric fuel pump. My additional guess to that list would be heated rear screen.

    Steering box replacement

    The 110 does not have an rtc damper. That was the td5. So just standard damper. The old box caught the bottom of the of the drop arm on the steering guard but the one previous one to that didn’t. So I will have a look in the morning and see if the same is happening. I ground the drop arm down a...

    Steering box replacement

    Many thanks. That’s what I did. So happy with that. Having now taken it for a drive I Need to have a closer look at it and see if it is contacting the steering guard. It has no play and feels good once moving. But it feels like There is more resistance than I would Expect to get it moving in the...

    Steering box replacement

    Finally got around the replacing my leaky steering box this afternoon. the new one has only been sat on the bench since February! Was a much quicker job than I remember, last time I did it on a running vehicle (rather than dismantled rebuild) it was helping a friend do one on his TD5 about 10...

    Defender prices general discussion

    That is the issue and why this is an uphill battle. She has driven it once about 10 years ago on a green lane and has refused to drive it since. She is only a begrudging passenger when her car is too small which is far more often now there is a child and related parafenalia along with a Large...

    Defender prices general discussion

    Completely correct. I am not trying to predict the market and not interested in future prices. I am not looking at this as a financial investment, this is an investment in future teaching, bonding, common interest time spent and experiences with my children.

    Defender prices general discussion

    I am interested in the top of the market because other than the lack of originality that is where I believe my daily 110 should sit with galv everything and regularly and repeatedly rebuilt mechanicals due to the mileage I do. I am not looking to buy or sell just wanting a general realistic...

    Defender prices general discussion

    I care because I am trying to gauge the current position of the market to work out if it’s realistic to get a project vehicle for a couple grand like I did two years ago or if the market has moved up and I need a larger budget. I am not interested in the specific vehicles linked. More the market...

    Defender prices general discussion

    Back to the topic of the thread this is another one that seems hugely over priced: LINK I am not denying it has had a lot of work done but as it is a series vehicle the higher prices are for originality which this is a long way from. So again is this just someone chancing it or believing because...

    Defender prices general discussion

    The tractor runs I do tend to be about 10mph. Which on my super is low third so works ok. But is a little fast for the friends fordson standard. A B275 is acceptable because it is not grey!

    Defender prices general discussion

    I saw this one currnertly on eBay which is more my price point: LINK. But need to persuade the wife that unborn child number two needs a Land Rover like I did for unborn child number one. She is currently very unhappy about the idea and thinks they can just share.

    Defender prices general discussion

    I may be interested but as above it is very much price dependant as I currently do not have covered storage so anything I buy is going to deteriorate between now and when I actually want it to start rebuilding with children. I would certainly recommend an old tractor they are great fun. Do not...
