I need to spray my chassis with a protective coating. I haven't got a proper compressor but I do have a T-Max tyre compressor (10 bar). Has anyone tried one of these, or similar to power a spray gun? I know you really need a tank for continous spraying but I don't mind doing it in bursts.

It hasn't got a rusty chassis. It's just the front member just has a few holes in it. What I am saying is the bumper I have is huge and makes up easily for that front box section under the rad. Evenas it is it is very strong. Maybe the heading sounded too dramatic.

Thanks for that. Just found it, but let's hope the welder can get away with a patch up.

Thanks for that, but that would be a huge undertaking. I contacted JLR and they said there is no replacement for it. Looks like a fabrication and welding job to me. I don't think the member is that structural anyway as the bumber will be far more of a support than that thin tin box section...

Just had an MOT on my 1997 300tdi and it failed due to holes in the front cross member. One of the holes is close the junction with the chassis side. The guy who does the welding there hasn't seen it yet, but to me it looks like it will require a new crossmember. Anyone had the same issues or...

I have a 1997 Defender and the rear mudflaps are cracked and split at the brackets. Does anyone know of a good way of repairing these rather than replacing them or has anyone any good suggestions. These are the originals with the Land Rover markings so I would rather keep them if I can. I was...

Thanks for that. I eventually bought a flexi from Pioneer which runs straight to the slave which fitted great.

Managed to find a Pioneer flexible pipe on eBay for £44. If anyone else has this problem the part number was ANR2162. I just hope this is the right one when it comes.

I have a Defender 90 1997 300tdi RHD and I am trying to source a new metal clutch pipe from the Master to the flexi. I cannot find one anywhere for a price below £127!! When I enquired at paddock spares they said the RHD one was discontinued!! Can you believe that? I believe the correct part...

Thanks for that but I have been through most of them and when I ordered a couple none of them were big enough and most don't give accurate measurements. I just wondered if anyone had larger wheels and found one that fitted.

Added security when I am not at home? Knowing how thieves work you make it as difficult as you can for them. Hopefully the more steps they have to get through the least likely it can be stolen.

That's because the page wouldn't load and I thought it hadn't posted. It obviously had.

Anyone know if there is a wheel clamp which will fit a 265 75 16 with alloy wheel? All seem too small. Cheers

Hi y'all My Defender is fitted with 265 75 16 tyres on alloys. I am having great difficulty in finding one that big. Has anyone got any idea if there are any that size? Thanks

Thanks but I think I will find a way of dipping it or something. I can't leave it to hope and chance.

What if it has all leaked out already? If I don't touch it then it will cause serious damage surely?

Yeah that's the point. I don't know what's left in there and that's the issue.

My 1997 Defender has the later swivels with no level or drain plugs. The top plug had a bit of grease on it but I have no way of knowing if there's enough lubricant in the housing.. My question is - if I push in some more one shot grease can it be overfilled affecting the oil seal? Any...

I am still having issues with trying to ascertain if my side windows are factory fitted or not as my 300tdi 90 was originally a hard top and not a CSW, but was modified a couple of years after production. The issue I have is, I want to but some internal window surrounds but I don't have any...

I am looking to buy an interior rear window surround set for my Defender 90 1997 300tdi. Anyone know if the Terrafirma or Bearmach ones are superior to the other after market ones for instance? The other issue I have is the vehicle was originally a hard top which was converted to a County...
