Just a note to say..... Watch your peepers!!.... I am 49 and have lived a long life and spent many hours grinding/welding etc......all self taught and whilst aware of the dangers of the spinning discs of woe, never really given a stuff as nowt...

My knee is getting there Slowly.... Don't get old!! It's not good. Don't want to do the box until I'm back to normal functionality.. I can't get any joy with the handbrake warning light, there's no power to the lamp everything downstream seems to...

If you want a look at the build I did heres the link its a different forum and tbh I picked it as they were menna be the guys but all they did was ignore me and answer nothing

Thanks alot mate I do appreciate that

Hi and welcome! The RRC looks fantastic! A very nice job!

Hi and welcome! Good luck with your search. Let us know how you get on. Make sure you invest in lots of good security measures too. Landies are popular with thieves.

Nothing too exciting just did a big service. All oils and filters. Engine oil, black but no bits or discolouration Front diff had a little christmas tree and a bit silvery, too be expected from an ATB after 10k. TX box clean as a whistle...

Previous days have been spent getting the axles ready to drop. Most bolts were tight but shifted with a little heat. One was subject to the slitting wheel for failure to cooperate. Whilst poking around I took a look at the swivel housings and...

I used to trial with one of the local all makes clubs in Somerset in my teens. I marshalled at a couple of comp safaris too in the Minehead area. Great fun and a good way to get yourself known in a club. Great pics too. Looks like a fun day out. 😎

The downside is that you are going to have to build one now.

@Chalky. it’s a good to go collecting stakes at the end of the day. Happy you enjoyed it. Good to see the youngster been out in an exciting environment. You can get special kids motorsport licence from 13 to event in trials

Well just got home and met some very friendly people! What a great crowd, makes my 90 look and feel slow now! Drove the course at the end of the day with my boy in one of the vehicles, those v8's on song make the hair stand up on your neck!!!

@kermit_rr been away from racing for a few years but these clubs are friendly & most drivers like others looking over the motors. If you show your face often enough and help out you do get offers of a seat in racers. We used to do charity days...

If you don’t mind a few mile journey go to the event at stone. This is a 2 day and used to have to do a few laps in the dark & early morning.

That's what I'm going to do this afternoon mate! Pics so far.... And one of my boy! Indoctrination at its finest!! 😂

Used to race with staffs & shrops. Always fun club as they do inter clubs so there are plenty of motors to watch. If not racing we would marshal in stupid places just for the action Enjoy your day…

Hey guys, I don't know if anyone localish would be interested, but the Staff and Shrops Landrover club are running a Comp Safari today at Greenhall Farm in Llanfyllin, always a great crack as a spectator! Only just found out so will be standing...

I had five 235/85 tyres on wolf rims in my 90 with space to spare so you should be ok with the 90.

You'll be able to fit them into a 90. It's tight but they'll fit, just stack them upright

Replaced the front springs on the lads 90, fuel filter, air filter and one of the radius arm rear bushes.... also replaced the auxiliary belt as it was tearing up.... Found grease/oil leaking onto the rear o/s brakes, so looks like a new seal...

So I decided it was fuel line replacement day... yeah, maybe a little overdue as this is the rear section of return line, dated 2015! I replaced that fine, and then I went for the feed line which is even older... got that off but I'm yet...

Nice bit of history.

Those wheels and tyres look fine and should work no probs. The next size up is a 285/75R16, they are a little taller and will look quite a bit fatter. But you might end up with this size sticking out of the wheel arches a little. Might not be a...

I went for the flatdog springs as suggested by @300bhp/ton who happened to recommend them to me too. I went for standard height but HD as I use my 90 mainly as a work wagon! I went for bilstein shocks and gwyn lewis galvanised retainers and...

300bhp/ton - thank you so much for the deep insightful post, a lot to take in where this is all new to me. Appreciate you taking your time, I'll give it a proper read and come back with any questions if any! tottot - mostly rough rocky terrain...

Need to get back into the zone on this so hopefully some updates coming. Does anyone have the following parts knocking around, preferably somewhere near Derby…? 200tdi rear bumper (no lights) 200tdi fuel pump/sender Top & bottom fuel tanks...

What age is your defender? Replacing your suspension with new standard springs and shocks will be an improvement if the current ones are original. Consider upgrading with the likes of old man emu.

Your fog light should only come on if you have your head lights on.(if you put high beam on the fog lights turn off) And if you are on glass fuses make sure you get a reading on both sides. These holders are prone to not working. Now if you...

Footwell replacement is going to be more difficult than anticipated. Someone has replaced them in the past and seam welded them in.🤔

Not sure if this is allowed on this site but feel it’s only right to share where people have helped us discovery owners when we are in desperate situations: I’m on holiday and I hit a pot hole just outside Penzance which tore off a newly fitted...
