    Life expectancy of galvanised chassis

    Coupla pics on chassis’s lads. The old one was totally done…no room left to repair. New MAER one getting primed/painted and the 90 coming together and finally done the other week. A lot of work and late nights…and hiding receipts from my sweetheart 😂

    Pre defender 90

    Hey mate. Some info for you on manuals. I tracked my mate down to ask where he got the manual. It was bought on eBay of all things and they send you the cd you upload to the computer. Done quite a while ago and he doesn’t know where it is now but you might be able to get one on eBay. It’s the...

    Pre defender 90

    No problem. Truck cab will be fine and warm in the winter. My old man had the same motor with the 19j engine. That a rare low mileage you have, hardly run in.

    Pre defender 90

    Good old motor you’ve bought there. I have the Land Rover workshop manual on a spare computer I keep in the workshop. My mate found it and uploaded it for me. It is very concise and covers every detail you’d ever need. I used it a lot when I was doing my rebuild on my 300 tdi 90. I’ll ask him...

    90 on a trailer

    Might be worth checking the main dealers in your area or even uk wide for a good 2nd hand one. Maybe some of the agricultural companies or agri auction companies. They often turn up at those. I looked a smaller ones too before I got the LM but to be honest it seemed to offer the most. Double...

    New (to me) LT230

    He sure is. The equipment he has in his workshop is amazing. The machine that skims flywheels is nearly one hundred years old! Got a few more jobs to go back to him. Thank god for lads with his skill. 👍

    90 on a trailer

    Yes mate. It’s a very well made trailer. It tows very smooth. I have the sides too. I fitted mudguards to it to help keep the underneath clean, well worth doing. I have loaded it with 4 tons max. Carried all kinds of cargo and machinery. Ifor parts backup is excellent. Lots of simple parts on...

    90 on a trailer

    I use an Ifor Williams LM126g. 7.5ft by 12 ft. Easily takes a 90. Had mine on it on Tuesday when I took her for the mot after a full rebuild. The Ifor handles it no worries. Had a disco on it at one point too and a host of agricultural kit including a small tractor. Ramps get slung underneath...

    Recommended chassis replacement specialists 90 300tdi

    I bought and fitted a shielder to the MAER. Fitted right on with no issues or any changes required. It’s great quality and easy to access to clean it and rust protect it too. Very happy with the standard of it. Terrain tech are rebuilding lr’s and are using MAER and shielder to do this. I got my...

    Recommended chassis replacement specialists 90 300tdi

    Hello mate. My chassis was delivered on the back of an Ifor Williams flatbed trailer. MAER have an agent over here who do the delivery with their disco and the trailer so a lorry is not a problem. The company is called spanner monkey from Durham. Depends where you are in the country as there is...

    Doors. 1998 300TDI

    Just done my rear door. Looked around a lot for replacements and settled on a door from paint man panels. I made the right choice as the quality of the door is better than original one. Not galved but it comes primed and you just need to undercoat and top coat it. I also treated the frame with...

    300tdi rear crankshaft oil seal

    Hi, no it wasn’t loose on mine. Bit of movement mind but no leaks. Think your best buying original parts and the sealant turners use instead of a seal. All fine on mine.

    300tdi rear crankshaft oil seal

    Hi there, if it’s any help I did this a few months back. Got my seal from turners and the sealant too. Worked a treat. Plastic sleeve thing was a fiddle but it works fine. Now my old 90 has one less leak 😎

    Recommended chassis replacement specialists 90 300tdi

    Hello mate. I’m just about finished a rebuild of my 90. I bought a chassis from MAER in Poland. I’m extremely happy with it. The quality is superb and better than what I found here. Price was ok too. It has fitted perfectly with every part I fitted to it including a new bulkhead. Over engineered...

    Bulkhead swap 300TDi Defender

    Thanks for that tip, I’m going to go and check that tomorrow then. This light coming on has been hard to fathom out and I have next to no experience with electrics. I’m trying to keep as many of the original parts as I can. I’m rebuilding it onto a new chassis and bulkhead. Thanks ✌🏻
