If you slack of the nut,(but don't take it off)then take it for a drive on a bumpy lane or field,the drop arm will usually come loose.

Hi all, I have finally decided it's time to part with my Defender 90,Its a 1994 van.I have owned it for the last 16 years & in that time it has had just about everything done. I'll try to list the main stuff,but am sure I'll miss things. ENGINE. 1994,300tdi,fully rebuilt in 2012 with all new...

Great informative post,well done you! If you get to Andorra you will no doubt do the famous smugglers track from Alins over to Andorra,there is a nice little detour just after you pass through Tor,on the left,follow the track up you will find a great little refuge built into the hillside.This...

Hi I have lost count of how many trips I've done in & around the Pyrenees. When I first started going,around 15 years ago,I bought road books from,Votre voyage avec les Road books de Vibraction - road books Vibraction The road books are all in French so that maybee an issue if you dont...

Hi I used to live in Thiviers,now in Riberac. I can recomend a very good garage in Eyzerac,Garage Boudy. Not sure about supplying a replacement engine though. Good luck. Marc.

About 2hr 15mins from me 24320 Coutures. No P38. 2 Defs 90 & 110 a D3 & Series 2. :)

Well,do,t quite live here.... But last week,I was here. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Fisterra,+A+Coru%C3%B1a,+Spain/@42.887997,-9.2784375,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0xd292c24ce10d29d:0xe6ec667de57e52d3!8m2!3d42.9078005!4d-9.2650315 Cap Fisterra,the most Western place on mainland Europe.By the...

LOL..... Oh the joys of Land Rover ownership. A pressurised garden sprayer is good for filling the transfer box.;) Marc.

I agree with retro. You probably don't need to change the shafts & CV's,especialy if you have 24 splines fitted.Plus, H/D shafts only really necissary if you have BIG tyres & are giving it serious abuse off road. Marc.

As johnlad says,just stick an ARB compressor on,they are designed for the job,plus get a tyre inflator & you can pump the tyres up. I fitted a pair of Ashcroft lockers to my 90 around 10yrs ago,when it was a challenge truck.I've since converted it to an overland camper,so they don't get as much...

Discs were Terrafirma.110 vented. Calipers,aftermarket.Not sure of the maker. Pads were Terrafirma ceramic. :) Marc

I did exactly this mod to my 1995 90 at the begining of lockdown,as I spend a lot of time in the Pyrennes,& on long descents I get a bit of brake fade. First impressions are good,but I've not had chance to put any miles on it yet...... Straight forward swap 110 disks & calipers,+ pads. Marc

Something like this might be worth a look? https://foundry4x4.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=76 Marc

I have a James Baroud RTT on my 90.It has a 2" lift & Gwynn Llewis extreme Suspension. When I first fitted the RTT,it would pitch from side to side whilst cornering.I did not want to fit an anti rollbar. So fitted 110 HD springs,it still rolls a bit when cornering,but,I've got used to it. Marc.

I have had them fitted on my D3 for the last year. They have been well & truley tested on all terrains,mud,snow,gravel etc. I find them a very good all round tyre,slightly noisier at motorway speeds,but not intrusive. Marc.

OK! Just saying what I have always done when changing my fuel filter Marc

I don't think the fuel filter needs to be primed on a 300tdi.It's self priming. I certainly dont prime mine,except for filling it with fuel before fitting. Marc.
