Thanks. I paid 4k then had the chassis sorted which cost me 1800.

Thanks very much.

300tdi has been fitted at a later date.

Oh Ive thought of others issues. The front seats rails need replacing as the seats don't clip in properly and the upholstery is way past its best.

Ive had my 90 for about 3 years now but am not using it as much as I thought. I also thought i would be more hands on to sort everything on it but have found i just dont have the time. Someone local has said he is looking for a defender 90 so could anyone steer me to a fair price? Im dreadful...

Cheers but that’s not android auto that’s just Bluetooth connection. Can you even get the touch pro unit on a 2016 ?

sorry if this question should be in the freelander section as I realise a disco sport isn’t the same as a proper disco but I’m looking at getting a 2016 disco sport especially now I’ve realised an update brought in android auto. My question is what infotainment option do I need to make sure the...

Brake light switch replacement fixed my issue. I couldn’t get the old nut to fit over the new switch so left it off. But all is working so that will do :)

Thanks. Yeah I’m gonna try pick up a new switch tomorrow might as well change it anyway. How many full rotations does it normally take to screw in the switch? I’m a bit paranoid i over tightened this one and striped the plastic thread.

Cheers. Well I went ahead and had a go. Took ages to get the bl00dy wires apart. But tested the wires with a multimeter and got a tone. So that’s good (I’m guessing ) . I don’t really understand what is meant by linking the wires :/. Unfortunately I had a go at removing the switch before...

Just been to have a look. Is the brake switch that thing in the middle of the picture that I've sprayed wd40 on? If so, I take it I have to loosen the nut at the bottom, the switch comes out then I can spray wd40 on the push bit and my brakes work perfectly again ? ...... :)

Not sure. There is a lot of tiny black balls inside the defender. Like microscopic ball bearings .

Thanks. Just watched a few videos on brake switches and they are all dealing with a thing behind the brake pedal. Is that the same thing that’s in the engine bay or is there two things I need to check ? Yeah it was done assembled. At this point in time I couldn’t afford a chassis...

My defender has finally had its chassis blasted, repaired and stone chipped but on driving it back I noticed both brake lights weren’t working . I’ve replaced the fuse and both bulbs and out of about 10 quite hard pedal presses the brake lights came on twice. The rear lights work fine. Am I...

Cheers, yeah just did it. Hardest part was removing a few rusty screws. I had got myself confused thinking that metal bit had to go underneath rather than the grill is a replacement. Issues I have now is the previous owner has put 4 extra holes in the top of the moulding to fix that metal...

Thanks. That looks decent. Looking at yours though has made me think I am being an absolute idiot. Im guessing now the metal thing just comes off and the plastic grill clips in in its place. I originally thought the grill goes over the top of the metal mess thingy.

Well nothing much is happening on my landy. Im still waiting for a quote from the bodyshop for the chassis weld repairs and the garage want that doing before they fix oil leak etc. In that time I have found both front door seals absolutely ripped to bits so when it rained water has gone all in...

Thanks , for the primer do I have to get all rust off first ? I’m not sure its going to be possible to get all the rust back to bare metal so if not do I have to get some sort of rust remover paint or something ?

I think that’s what threw the garage , he mentioned something about that. I think I’ll leave the axles as they are since no one is saying it’s a complete disaster

yeah ive completely given up on getting the steering wheel off. if the garage ever gives me a quote for fixing the oil leak etc ill ask them to do it. Heres a pic of the rear axle that the garage said wasnt from a defender. As a side note. What do people use to paint over the rusty rear...
