if anyone could help me out please... Firstly is the bolts that go through the side panels into the tub, the ones with the big washer in the middle. I believe they're known as hard top mounting studs but they do a short one and a long one. which ones are for a 90 with van sides? Secondly...

Lack of updates recently due to lack of time really. I've been trying to get my head around the wiring. most of the wires weren't in the right place when they got removed so they need to be sorted one at a time. Spent a few hours today doing some building up... As it is I've got one wing on...

It's a shame your so far away, I'm a painter up north and would of helped. I don't know what the prices are like down there, but painting 2 vent flaps shouldn't cost much more than £100/£130. Bearing in mind they have to sort out someone else's poor prep work. Take it to a local body shop and...

Thanks for the advice. I've read a lot of posts saying they're rubbish as standard.

Thanks! 16 and 13 look like they should be right. Much appreciated!

hi, I have a 90 with a 200tdi engine. I've got a new (second hand) heater box as my original one is seized. Now whoever has removed the old one of the donor car has just cut the cables and my old cables are no good. I've tried searching for new cables but can only find a heater control cable...

It all depends on your budget I guess and how you want it to look at the end. I'm in Burnley, about 20 minutes down the a59 from Preston.

Thanks! I'm trying with it haha. Get yourself a project thread up when you start so I can have a nosey. I'm not a million miles away if you need some paintwork doing! Very competitive prices ;)

Looks quite straight, a good base to start with

Welcome! Get some pictures up, that usually gets people talking. I'm currently working on a 1987 90 and this forum has helped me a lot already. You're in the right place!

Thanks. After a bit of searching I've read its black white green from left to right? If so mine are the wrong way round

So yesterday I got the springs painted yellow, and the turrets and shocks black. The yellow paint was terrible for coverage out of the gun and I didn't have enough to paint the turrets like I planned. I'll get myself some more ready to do the rear springs and radius arms. Also managed to get The...

Im on it :D cheers

Will do, thanks for the advice. Will hopefully be nice when it's finished :) Massive thanks to you both. I'm a little closer to getting one than I was now I know what I'm looking for. LZ saves the day!

Not off the top of my head, but I shall go back to Google and have a search around! Cheers All I had was iron man, no other details. I'll have a look at the rear shocks tomorrow that I haven't removed yet and see if they're in good enough condition to identify. I have two small engineering...

1987. I've forgot to mention... it's supposed to have had some kind of iron man suspension fitted to it. However the sticker was that faded I couldn't make out much of the details other than iron man. I can get a picture of the nut if that's of any help

Hi, thanks the response. You may be correct. I'm just going off this... http://www.paddockspares.com/ryh501080-nut-hex-m12-x-1-25.html?gclid=Cj0KEQiA88TFBRDYrOPKuvfY2pIBEiQA97Z8MZW0bEnrx2GqtwK4wAmYsy4ixwe2GzXxfQJlwyyGC64aAo_E8P8HAQ Which comes up when typing 'defender shock absorber nut' into...

Hi, I have a 90 and have taken apart the front suspension, wasn't too much of an issue but one of the top nuts on the shock absorber was seized. I managed to get it off without damaging the thread so I just need to locate a new nut. After a search online I've found I need a m12 x 1.25 (I...

Thanks! Do you or does anyone have any idea of how many wires go to the sender? I need to get a picture of mine for reference but I think an earth may be missing.... This wire is tied up like this and there's another one or two under there not connected to anything :confused: Thank you for...

Not to worry. I'll send you a pm :)
