May I ask one more thing: that clunk comes around about the same time every time I start moving (lets say 1 second after depressing the clutch). Does it make sense? If one/more than one tooth on the crown wheel were broken, won't it clunk at different times until the broken tooth reaches the...

Thank You, Paul! That was what I was thinking of as well. Glad You said that!! Was the grinding from the broken off metal pieces in the diff casing?

Hi, guys! I have been having some clunking sounds in the drivetrain of my 2006 D90 and decided to fix it. I was really hoping it was not the rear diff and replaced the rear halfshafts, drive flanges and the prop shaft + the front halfshafts, cv joints, flanges (also the stub axles, bearings...

Risking to **** off some much more knowledgeable people, I would say go for a cheap Chinese one off eBay (a 52" is about 50-60 pounds?). In terms of mounting it, I am considering this one: https://www.sp-4x4.com/defender_light_bar_p/lm25.htm I think it makes more sense not to drill any holes...

300bhp, thanks for the encouragement! I am considering that (255/85R16), but not entirely sure about the look when the wheel arch is completely filled with tire:D The fabricators from Uproar 4x4 have fitted 285/75R16 to their standard suspension D90 and it looks surprisingly good (with spacers...

The shocks and springs (with all the fixings) on my 11-year old Defender (daily driven) were original and I was contemplating to swap them for a 2inch lift kit with soft springs to fit larger tires (the look thing) and make it more comfortable. After reading this forum for months, I decided to...

Guineafowl21, thank You for this informative post!! I now understand that the codes are specific enough (at least not buying something that will show me another Check engine light), yet doesn't mean diagnosing the true cause, which I did sorta assume, but you made it much clearer :)

Thanks for replies, guys! I also came to the conclusion that if to go that way, I'd go for the Nanocom. It costs basically 500 euros: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nanocom-Evolution-Land-Rover-Defender-TD5-Diagnostics-NCOM01/332674308881?hash=item4d74ef1b11:g:RMYAAOxy77hSF2R2 To those who have...

Dear forum members, I own a 2006 TD5 D90 and am doing a lot of maintenance and repair on my truck with a local mechanic (by now friend). We have done engine gaskets, breaks/bearing/halfshafts in the axles, the fuel pump, so nothing really hardcore like timing chain etc. I have started to feel...

Standard bumpers are very reasonable. I bought this one and was not disappointed: https://www.paddockspares.com/ntc4657-front-bumper-black.html

Just a quick update to whom it may interest: this is the best parts catalogue I've seen. Found it on this forum and thought to paste here: https://www.landroverworkshop.com/diagrams

Guys, thanks for all the support. I've put together a huge list of parts, but the hub bearings are still a question. As I understood from mr. James Martin, this kit is not for the TD5: https://www.paddockspares.com/da2381-hub-bearing-kit-defender-from-la.html Do I understand it right that the...

No, I don't think you're crazy:) It's just that 3 out of 4 people on forums want to have a lift and a ready to cash out a couple of K's to get it done. There is a guy from uproar4x4, who lowered his 90 by 1 inch and runs 285/75R16 if I'm not mistaken. It looks surprisingly good and he says he's...

Can't help you, but just wondering, why do you want to go standard?

James, I'm so grateful to You! THANK YOU!! A perfect answer both in form and content :)

Dear forum members, I am getting too much grief over trying to order parts for the front axle of my D90 (half shafts, cv joints, drive flanges, stub axles, wheel bearings, break disks with pads) and the additional parts for those (gaskets, greases, washers etc). It seems that this link does...

I've been using Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip 75W140 in the diffs and the transfer box, but guess it's probably the same price..

Maroondestroyer, agree completely! I will most likely fit those 2-seaters, it was good to learn that there are longer ones, although I don't think they will fit. Good clarification about the dogs :)

Thanks for this informative reply, dag019!! I don't know if I should be ashamed, but I was going for these for purely cosmetic reasons (I had them before, but took them out, as they were absorbing water and creating too much humidity - bad seals between panels). Now I'm sorting those issues and...

Oh, thanks, Maroondestroyer! I guess it's these: https://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/216507/5497/lwb_rear_seat_assy. Will measure my trunk length, but I have a feeling these are a little longer than can fit in the standard 90 :(
