    200kg of scrap Landy nuts & bolts...I'm up £34.00 !!

    I took my old chassis to be weighed in last year along with assorted metalwork and several (very large & heavy) boxes of nuts (I was clearing the garage ready to move house after 30-years) and got about £20. A couple of weeks ago I took along to the same place a plastic flip-top bin containing...

    Updated advice - daily driver dilemma!

    If you are expecting a car-type environment with similar levels of comfort & soundproofing then you could be disappointed whatever model you get. Do you have a particular problem? I only ask as my 300TDi 90 auto (soft-top) is my daily driver yet it never gives me any issues with noise levels...

    Soft Top Queries

    "Thats interesting ... I think the key phrase there is "well fitting".... :)" Yes, that is the key. As already commented on, condensation forms on an un-lined hardtop and in winter will freeze until the interior warms up when it drips all over you. This doesn't happen in a soft-top and with a...

    LED replacement bulbs for interior lights

    I have had one in my 90 for nearly 10-years, works brilliantly and has (so far) proved totally reliable with none of the LED's failing. Back then I bought a bulk lot off Ebay (from China) and sold the rest on (for a modest profit), think they worked out at about 50P each (inc P&P) whereas UK...

    Soft Top Queries

    A well fitting soft-top is definitely warmer in winter than an un-lined hardtop.

    Def 90 3tdi exhaust manufacturer recommendation

    Yes, fitted a Demand system to my 300TDi 90 last year and it is excellent. Avoid DoubleS, documented here and elsewhere they are smaller diameter to standard and poor construction.

    Terrafirma rear dampers fitment

    Later axles have the cups welded to the axle so you only need two washers, I don't know what year they were introduced (mine has them) but perhaps your shocks were shown as being suitable for later models (even though the only difference is a pair of washers)? I know some people prefer to knock...

    Defender 90 Unusual front light lenses?

    I fitted NAS lights to the F&R of my 90 21-years ago, although more common just on the rear it was not unknown for them to be fitted to the front as well. First thing is to check if the front panel has been re-drilled, if it has it isn't really a problem as new finishers will cover it up but you...

    300tdi transfer box swap

    Had my 300TDi 90 fitted with the Disco (1.2) 'box from new and it was always a fantastic conversion. Always run on 265/75x16s and it was the perfect combination. Had to fit a 1.4 a few years ago when I swopped out to auto (the auto final drive ratio is a bit higher and it wouldn't rev out in...

    Speedo swap question

    Swopped the KPH speedo on my ex-MOD RHD 90 as soon as I bought it direct release back in 1999. Just bought a SH unit at Billing, noted the mileage on both clocks and jotted them down in my records, also kept the original speedo in case anyone should ever ask to see it (which in 22yrs they never...

    Rusty Tail Pipe Options...

    I had three BP rear sections and they were fine, each lasting 5-years which was exactly the same length of time as the original tail-pipe. Two of the BP sections were stamped Bosal (a very respected maker of systems) so as usual they were other brands simply with a BP sticker applied. I don't...

    300tdi sidesteps

    Firstly I would check that they were designed to fit pre TD5 models as if they weren't then you can forget it unless you fancy going for a rear-mounted tank (and all the issues that will cause you). If they are not designed for vehicles with the underseat tank then you would be best finding a...
