If the diesel treatment works on diesel bug then I need to get some. My vehicle doesn't do enough mileage to get a good diesel turnover so the bug could become an issue. So with that in mind, what brand/type is recommended and where is good to buy from?

Thanks for the photos, very useful. It's amazing how a galvanised part really does highlight its location. It's a pity the shield on the tank isn't removable as I find the mud and moisture trap in-between really frustrating. It looks like you have done a great job preparing and painting it...

Has anyone used "tracgrabbers"? I saw someone on one of the Australian sites say they used them. I can't say I have seen them used, other than on youtube, but they look interesting for such a small carry.

I have a 1993 90. It has a wiper on the rear door which is powered from a piece of flex passing via the headlining. I recently replaced the rear crossmember where I had to cut the wiring loom - there were no wires for the rear wiper in the wiring loom. My wiper doesn't have the park option...

Is this the one... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304641344840?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=1j77g29eQy2&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=EC2NqmK2QMW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Well I won't tell anyone what they should or shouldn't use as I just haven't got the experience to do so. I did recently refurbish some hockey sticks and I replaced the ones I removed with OEM ones. I didn't really have too many problems taking them out and I used the bush repair method of...

As Mick said, take it down slowly along the full length using a block of wood. You need to try and avoid putting marks/dents in the material as this could cause it to stretch and then it will be hard to remove. Also make sure that you place the flat side on a smooth flat surface as anything on...

worth a watch.

Probably worth asking in the discovery section about these brackets as I am sure the guys will know on there. Also worth keeping a note of the reg and vin from the doner vehicle as it may save you some grief in the future when ordering parts.

I have "refreshed" my axles and it certainly didn't have those on. The lower does have a bracket for fixing the sheet metal brake shields - but as mine doesn't have the shields it hasn't got the brackets though I may have fitted a washer just to set the depth of the fixing but I can't remember...

From another forum. Note that folks posting on that thread said they set them 0.5 to 1kg above the figures below IF they were new parts to allow for bedding in. All figures without the oil seals fitted. On 7/3/2010 at 8:52 PM, Retroanaconda said: Without the seal fitted, and as to what...

Also try swapping front wheels to back in case it's a ballance or tyre problem. Easy and costs nowt!

After having just changed both my axle cases I can confirm the only thing the axle case number confirms is the actual axle case!

I can understand that but up to that conversation, telling them you are a member of various forums has been sufficient. I have looked online for clubs - the series 3 club seems to now include the 90 and 110, but the web site does not really include a lot so its not easy to assess what you get...

Well first quote was Peter James, which was high! Also wanted me to be a paying member of a Land Rover club!

I am just about to reinsure my defender and wondered what kind of things will increase the premium. I want to include everything I intend to do this year but don't want to include premium increasing items if its going to greatly increase the premium. I don't do a lot of miles but do intend to...

Is there a way to check a Durite temperature gauge and sender before fitting it to the dash/engine? I have purchased a new but old stock unit so want to check before fitting.

Firstly, what do you want to do with the vehicle. That obviously is a major part of your search. The next thing is what type of work do you want to do to your project? You need to think of the skills you want to learn or already have. If you can't weld then perhaps steer away from anything that...

OscarBoy these are great parts you are making. The centre dash switch plate is one of the first things I want to try. I need to get some PETG on order. Keep sticking photos up if you're designs - very interesting.

Watching with interest. Have you done any other printed projects for your defender?
