Oh, rear axle. Is it an easy job for an ameture? Val.

My 1993 200Tdi has a clunk when moving laft or right when used in wet weather. When dry, no clunk. I assume this is coming from the steering somewhere. But on inspection can't find anything. I wonder if it's the pannard rod all solid and the bushes look ok. or the steering damper OME 3 yrs old...

Your best deterrent is to have your dog/s sleep in the car. Even then the thief may just take them too. If he wants you car he'll have it whatever. Trackers cost money each month and won't really do much to get you car back. The police are a little more likely to get your car back, but by the...

Thanks for the info. The car was rechassied three years ago and I'm told the heater seals where renewed then. I've looked at the cable and it appeatres to be set propperly and the fan works fine, just very little heat. I also renewed the door seals which mad last winter more bearable, talk about...

Thinking of replacing my heater matrix 1993 200Tdi. The current heater is very poor. Even on hot days you bearly notice it. As I understand it, these heaters ain't that bad. So considering its age I guess it need replacing (either that or I need to fit a deisel heater). I have noticed that...

Well fitted the new softer shocks. Easier job than I thought it might be. After a short test drive. The car is riding a little softer. I'll use it more over the next few days and decide then if the softer springs will be fitted. Val.

Already got springs on order. The ones listed above for the 90 Station Waggon 2400Kg. I'll take your tip though and contact them ta. I fitted and briefely tested the new shocks. The ride is softer and most of the jaring has gone. I'll test it further in the next few days before desiding wether...

Been having some fun trying to get info about my rear suspension. I find mie is too hard and have decided to go for a softer set up. After lots of questions on here and else where, this is the result. I did the colour code reasearch thing and and came up with only a few un quantified...

Yep. Thanks guys, Done the colour code thing and even have this very chart saved to my lap top. But the colour codes allown don't answer my question. 'Are the CSW springs softer that the 2400 utility springs?' There doesn't seem to be any info about which springs are harder than other...

Does anyone know if a 2kw deisel cab/night heater fits behind the seats, ie between the seats and the mid bulk head in a land rover defender 90? And if there is enough space above the transfer box for the inlets and outlets? I'm looking for a good place to fit an extra heater on my 1993 200Tdi...

Two years ago my car was rechassid along with new springs. These springs are correct for the load rating for a 90 2400Kg Utility. I now want to change the springs and probably the shocks for a softer ride. Do The CSW cars have softer springs than the Utility? I'm thinking spring set for CSW 90...

I have the centre seat. Firstly we have dogs that won't stay in the back, secondly cubbies get in the way of my elbow. Another option is having a storage tray under the centre seat, which I'll be doing at some point. https://yrmit.co.uk/product/lt77-r380-centre-seat-tool-box-land-rover-defender/...

Thanks, Got the fabric on line ebay iirc. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Perforated-Headliner-Fabric-Car-Headlining-interior-decor-seating-4-COLOURS/302237742356?hash=item465ec5f514:m:mhy_b3Zlu-NwGVVTiULq1fw This is certainly similar if not the same. I avoided the foam backed fabrics as they can...

It's been a while, but we're geting there. Doors: New doors painted and fitted. Half way through the refit I realised they are the Pumer doors and my 200Tdi door inner panels where not going to fit, enter ebay. A few day go by, parts arrive and get fitted along with a new window regulator. I...

What a good idea, I hadn't thought of using one of the little rears. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have a closer look. Frog Hopper, Have you done this same mod?? Any pics please? Val.

I have the standard rear side windows. However it's possible they where fitted a little further back than standard as they where fitted by the last owner. Great idea, I'll take another road. It's only 15 miles further to get to the same spot. But it would then be a right turn of course.

If it where that simple I would do just that. Unfortunately it isn't. The junction is a crossroads in a small village which is a bit of a backwards X right next to a river wall. If I hold back at the juction so I can look out of the passenger window the railings of the bridge get in the way and...

I'm thinking of fitting an extra little window to get over a blind spot issue on my 200 Tdi 90. There is a certain junction I pass through which is at just such an angle that the wide panel just behind the passreger door completely obscures my sight of on comming vehicles. Yes, I know I can...
