Mines a 1987 with a 200tdi fitted. So 34 years on the first pair isn’t bad going!

mines very battered on the outside but mainly straight. Just lots of different shades of green. It’s mechanically and electrically sound now. I used to be a wiring technician for various Formula 1 teams and a few other motorsports (independent wiring house) so handy on the electrics. Already...

Like you said before, if you do it properly the first time then you don’t have to do it again (hopefully!) The issue is knowing where to stop with all the shiny new parts!

I think I’m going to take the plunge and go for YRM parts. So far my list of parts is over £1000 from them alone and I’ve got all sorts of other bits I need to get elsewhere. And I still can’t decide if I’m going to go for gloss Keswick green or Satin Keswick green!

I am tempted by YRM but their galv cappings are soooo expensive!! As are their rear corners, I’ll be painting them so it’s nearly double the price to have them all galv. It would mean that it’s a job done well though… Can never have too much sealant when it comes to an old landy!

Morning! I’m soon going to be painting the Landy. I’ve got a 90 with the externally rubbed roof. On some websites it lists the roof seal to side panels as a different part to the seal used on a later defender. Why is this? Will the front seal also be different? Also is it worth sourcing a...

Morning everyone, I’m after a little help. My cappings on my 90 are rusting away nicely so I wish to replace them. I’ve got a couple of questions… 1. mine are currently 2 piece, can I use the later defender one piece cappings? 2. where is the best place to buy cappings? I’ll fully prime and...

Thanks. Keswick green always seems to throw me as sometimes it looks dark and more green like the photos I attached and other times it seems to look lighter and more blue/grey???

I found this for sale on Facebook and fancy that colour for my 90. Does anyone know what colour green it is? My guess is eastnor or Keswick but leaning towards eastnor. I’d be grateful if someone could confirm which one it is. Cheers

I’ve also started to upgrade the electrics a little after tracing an unreliable drivers dipped beam to a dodgy fuse terminal connection (glass fuses). I’ve purchased three 8 way blade fuse holders from vehicle wiring products along with a few other bits and pieces. And mounted them after a...

So it’s been a while but I finally decided to get around to doing a few bits. I thought I’d start to remove some rust and also stop advertising britpart. Before... A couple of coats of Hammerite Kurust followed by Halfords Etch Primer. 3 or 4 coats of Halfords Satin Black and some shiny new...

Ahh, that’s quite a bright green, on top of a bent panel and filler work that looks like it’s been chewed at by rats or applied with a pitch fork. I think I prefer what ever the front wing colour is.

Thanks, I’ll give them a shout and see if they are ok with that at the moment. I take it that you’ve rollered/brushed and Landy before? What’s the outcome like? Is it smooth or can you see roller/brush marks?

Thanks! That’s who I was planning on buying my paint from. Probably in spray can form. My money is on Deep Bronze Green but I don’t want to part with my pennies until I’m certain.

Thanks! As in the upper part or the lower corner where it’s had a bad repair?

Unfortunately there is no code on the bulkhead, it’s completely blank in that section. :(

Morning everyone, I’m looking to touch up parts of my 90 and respray a few panels in an attempt to smarten it all up a little. Has anyone got any idea of what colour green it is? (Front wings and upper hard top sides, also curious to the door colour as it looks slightly different) I’ve looked...

I was wondering that. I do have a random toggle switch that does nothing so that might be a clue. I suppose I'll just have to trace the wires and see where they go.

Well I decided to look further into it today. this morning the Horn, Flash and High Beam worked fine. The only issue was the driver side dipped beam. I had a good hunt around and changed the main headlight switch with a new one I had. No change to the fault. I decided to take apart the fuse...

I own a 1987 Landrover 90 which has previously been converted to a 200TDI. When i bought it all the headlights etc worked. I converted the side lights and indicators to WIPAC LEDs and the Headlights to Trucklite LEDs. All worked fine for months so my problem isn't in the switching of the light...
