Took our 1996 90 Landy to the garage for its MOT today. Since we bought it last Jan we have replaced a front propshaft that spectacularly exploded while we going downhill, replaced the two rear shock absorbers, got the rear windscreen washer working again, tracked down a faulty fuel solenoid...

We've been running our '96 90 since Jan and I'm loving it :) Unfortunately OH was convinced the engine was vibrating more than it should (I didn't think so, but hey) so he went ahead and got replacement mounts for the engine and gearbox. We replaced them (was more complicated than his...

We got snowed in twice in the last 2 years - our only 4 wheeled vehicle was a company transit van and it was proving to be a big big for the cornish lanes. We wanted a 4 x 4 that could take the dogs and the lanes no problem and the Defender cam up trumps - also OH is a bit of a project man so...

Thanks for that :)

A question 'cos I'm just curious really (being a major newbie): The front propshaft on our '96 90 Defender failed catastrophically at the weekend - luckily it didn't hack around underneath for too long so not too many bangs to deal with. So - new propshaft ordered, but I'm intrigued as to...

The motorway is too far away - 105 miles to be precise :D Landy doesn't like the wide roads anyway.....! Only go on motorways when I absolutely have to and then it will be with my other vehicle and then the best speed is _blank_ (don't want to incriminate myself Guv)

Hoo hoo - fighting talk there 'ansom!

:welcome: from between Leedstown and Helston :) Hmm Trewey - your Landy looks very very shiny....!

Thank you for the Welcome fellow pasty munchers and cider swillers :D Apologies for the tardy response and acknowledgements but we have been a bit busy with Landy: Searching for, and finally locating - Yay - the reason for the intermittent power loss (fuel solenoid dodgy connector) Taking out...

:welcome: from another Cornwall Landyzone relative Newbie :D Oh, and Dave - we're not far from Helston so we might see you on the road sometime....... though every 5th vehicle seems to be a Landy of some sort down this end of the country! Our Landy is in permanent diff lock at the mo cos...

We bought our 1996 90 Defender last month. We are hands up newbies but OH is very handy with a spanner - plus he is a sparky - and I'm fairly good at doing things 'as directed'. Anyway, ever since we got the Landy we had noticed there seemed to be a fair amount of excess vibration, plus there...

Our recently bought 1996 Defender 90 300 Tdi had an intermittent, completely random, loss of power problem, so we set about trying to locate and rectify. We searched this forum for ideas and tips and then set about trying them out: 1. We changed the fuel filter and put a diesel cleaner in...

We have just bought a 1996 Defender 90, 300Tdi :):) My OH did have a 110 up until 2000 as his work vehicle but we weren't in the position to use it properly as we lived in London at the time. Now we have a smallholding in rural west cornwall - ie Landy country! OH is pretty handy in the...
