Discovered oil in the wiring loom. Not really surprised. Going to have to replace the injector harness I guess. Whats a good solvent for cleaning the ECU plug?

Did my first green lane in the lakes yesterday. It was awesome. Massive learning curve going up and down rocky paths and steps.

Thats good. I'll just use my pressure washer. I'll try not to take to much paint off in the process. Cheers. Are there any other nooks and crannys on the chassis that need extra special care, that I might miss?

I'm trying to clean out the inside of the chassis, mainly the cross member. I've sprayed water into some of the various holes and no end of crud has been coming out. Shall I just keep doing this till the water runs clear? Or should I try and steam clean it? If so do you reckon I can just attach...

Cheers, I hope not everyone is as secretive as you say. M

Thanks Ally, I'd never heard of slroc. Might see if I can get out for that. Hope you have fun tomorrow. I'll have a look at the pics on their website later in the week. Lorri, i've joined BawBags. M

I was hoping to join you all tomorrow Ally, but I have old mate coming to town so I won't be able to. I'm hoping to get on the next trip in May. Do you have any idea where they are going? I'm in the South of the city. Out near Clarkston. What about you? M

I reckon I am going to need to weld some new bottoms on my doors. I'll need to get hold of a welder. Found a few cheap arc welders on eBay. Clarke weld mostly. Are these any good for a cheap DIY welder? Worked out that where the water is coming through is the windscreen bracket. Obvious name...

Cheers disco, been reading your thread and thought it was brilliant. It must be good o finish a project like that. I hope that I haven't got much to do. Just some new door bottoms, but I do quite fancy the idea of having the doors galvanised. If I did, I'd probably get both done. Seems daft...

I hope not Trax, I'm a bit cack handed with a welder. Even so I have seen these on ebay, anybody have any views on them.? LAND ROVER DEFENDER 90/110 FRONT DOOR BOTTOM REPAIR SECTION | eBay

Hello everyone, I've just discovered rust running along the bottom of my drivers side door. Its a '99 defender 90. So I'm going to have to do something about it. I gave it a quick wire brush at the weekend and found that there was more rust than I first thought. I went right through the...

Thanks chaps, I've watched that video cheers Chris. Where can you get on Dere street? Would road tyres be ok? M

Hello everyone, I've been on the forum for a while now. I've posted some questions and got some really useful advice so thanks to everyone for that. I thought I'd already introduced myself on the forum, but I must of forgot. So here it is. I live in Glasgow and have a '99 90 defender. Got it...

So I discovered today that I have rust all the way along the bottom of the drivers side door. Before I started wire brushing I had know idea how bad it was. It looks like I'm going to have to take the seal of the bottom of the door, which isn't too bad as it old do with being replaced. Also...

Where abouts did you go Grahame?

Went to treat a what I thought was a small spot of rust on the bottom of the drivers side door. After taking the internal panel off and a lot of wire brushing, discovered runs the length of the door and is a lot worse than I thought. Quick job might be a big job. M

well I won't do it that way then. Just empty and fill. Thanks.

I think the idea is that by changing half the oil at a time, it dilutes any old oil that is lingering at the bottom. So you actually get a better oil change. As I said, I read it somewhere. I can't remember where though, or I'd post the link. I'll see if I can find it.

Hello everyone, I'm wondering what is the best or easiest way of checking the level of oil in a Td5 defender gear box. Also is it easy to top up/change. I've read that when you are changing it, you should do half then drive 500ish miles before doing the other half. Is this right. Any advice...

Its not looking good is it judging by the number of replies!!!!
