Hi Does anyone know what normally goes here - behind the cubby - land rover on a Ninety - 1986? Picture attached There is an elastic band./ strap that looks as if it should hold something. Wheel jack?

Annoying indeed! Got too click happy...! Are the holes for the Series ones in the same place - ie. same spacing as Def ones?

Thanks for this. So what would you treat the wheel arches the same way as the axles? - ie. rust removed, treated, primer, top coat, wax?

Thanks for the advice. I've used this stuff before. Hammerite Underbody Seal with Added WaxOyl...

Thanks guys. I've realised today that the "straps" are what is left of the handle. It must have broken off with a previous owner leaving two stubs. Before I saw your message, I ordered a s/h early defender one. I've included a link below. Hopefully it will last. If not, can you send a...

😂 Thanks for this. Is there a good rust converter? Painting the axles: I thought about using Hammerite Under Body Seal which also contains Wax Oyl....

Thanks. There's quite a bit of surface rust on the axles and in the wheel arches. I'll wire wheel the worst off but won't a wax let this show through - I mean will the finish be good?

Hi I'm thinking of using Dinitrol to protect the underside of my 1986 Ninety. However, it's fitted with a galvanized chassis and I want to keep that bare as I like the look. Dinitrol seems to be mainly a spray product so, apart from doing a (possibly fiddly) masking job undereath, is there...

Hi Just fitting a new door card to the tail safari door on my 1986 Ninety. Its a simple flat, plastic coated door card from LR Parts - no rear wiper. There's two captive bolts at the top with a couple of "strap" like things that look as though they will hold the top. I was going to go round...

Thanks. I have noticed some chaffing of a white and green cable going to the fuel sensor. There is continuity between the white cable and the ground that runs alongside it. The white cable is energised when the engine is running - but not the ground interestingly. I'd like to solve but I...

200Tdi Ninety Hi This is a new post - hoping that someone can advise me how to systematically troubleshoot a problem I am having with my 1986 200Tdi Ninety. Following an attempt to sort out a couple of issues........ [ - trying to wire up the fog light properly. Then put back to how it was...

Hi, yes, that's correct: the red/white relay trigger wire stays non live and the corresponding earth is live I've taken the relay out completely and am using a jumper cable with a momentary switch across the output terminals (live cable in, solenoid cable out) direct to the starter. I'm...

I initially thought it was the white/red cable from the ignition switch getting re-energised. However, that's not the case. The ground (black) cable is getting the juice and causing the relay to re-activate.

It's definitely re-energising. If you remember, initially I thought it was something else.belt driven, but it's definitely the starter restarting. Not a good sound to hear (or smell to smell!). Removing the relay and using the jumper solves it. I'm suspicious that the problem I have with the...

This post began with a problem with starting and has morphed into other head scratching mysteries. The problem I am now having is related to the starter circuit - but slightly different. Just to recap, after fiddling with wires behind the instrument panel, I got intermittent start problems...
