Sorry!! It's a '97 Defender 90

Thanks all for your advice. Sorry for the slow reply as I have been abroad! Will have a stab tomorrow!!

Hello all, This question has probably been done to death so do point me in the right direction if its applicable. I recently had a new chassis fitted and since then the pas door has been tough to open. I've worked out that the door is dropping towards the rear and the striker is rubbing along...

I bought an EGR Blank kit about a year ago but when I went to work on the defender she seemed to already have a 300tdi blank. I am now doubting myself. I thought one of the previous owners blanked the port and then put the valve back over the blank. Could anyone take a look at the attached...

🤣 Am I having a trip!! I think these look better in an original VW bus with the added optional extra of dreamcatcher from the rear view mirror!!

Thats a good idea!! I could make a pattern off a cheap gash set of chairs. Thanks Dag

It will be a bit of an experiment, I don't have a huge amount of experience with upholstery. i thought it might be an interesting way to cut my teeth...I'm sure mother will be over my shoulder telling me I'm doing it wrong!! I didn't exactly want to take the current upholstery apart more than I...

I've got (well my mother has) a sewing machine that should do the job....Practice it is then!!

Hello all other Suffering Sods, I have a landy with Raleigh fabric and its starting to become a bit thread bare. Raleigh fabric seems to be nigh on impossible to get hold of for not an extortionate amount of money. So I've decided I want to be a bit of masochist. I want to find a similar fabric...

No worries!! Thanks!!

Sorry for the radio silence from me, the email notifications ceased notifiying!! I might have to look into the Ashcroft torque bias unit. @D1Nut do you have any experience with E-Lockers? I'm also being a bit of a halfwit, I have a rover rear axle for my 90...is that a 24 spline?

I've seen Detroit but I have heard they can switch on under normal driving on the road...do correct me if I'm wrong. Wind up is a threat with proper lockers but can't LSDs have issue in tight corners and tyre wear? I quite like the idea of it being on or off but open to your suggestions. I did...

Sorry my wording is cr4p!! I know an e diff doesn't need an air compressor but I want to start carrying one on the car anyway for tyres etc. Why would you go for an LSD over an actual locking diff as I have my reservations about LSDs?

2 questions really, I have a '97 Defender 90 that I use for farm work and light off roading (as well as a daily driver!) and I have come across times where I really could have done with a rear diff locker (as the wallet won't stretch to a front as well). I'm looking at ARB's air lockers or...

Turned out to be the Glow Plug Relay. Thanks for your help!!
