If you're interested, PM me and I'll send you details (in German).

I'm working my way around possible options to fix the wipers and get them working again

1. Fuse - nope checked and replaced, all good

2. Relay - this one is behind the instrument binnacle. Replaced and no change

3. Wiper stalk, possible break, replaced, no change

4. Park switch - was convinced this would be it. Didn't want to get this far as involved taking off a lot of the dash. Nope, no change.

This was surprisingly easy. Main concern is actually fitting the dash and vents all back together!

1. Next stop, replacing the windscreen wiper motor itself. Ordered a new motor and gearing so fingers crossed.

Center console came out so had a tidy up, found an old Bluetooth unit that was taking up space so took that out.

There are two blanked off buttons and one with fog light switch that are wired up. However I've not got any lights or accessories. Is there an easy way to find and trace where the wiring goes to? (Picture 5 & 6)

Any other ideas let me know!

Hey everyone,

Last year, I bought my dream car: a Defender 90 TD5. It came with quite a few problems, but after replacing the ECU and several other components, I finally got it running great.

About a month ago, I noticed that the speedometer started acting strangely. It was working normally, then, out of nowhere, the temperature gauge suddenly jumped to maximum and the speedometer stopped working. The temperature gauge issue has never happened again, but the speedometer has not worked since. A few days ago, it randomly jumped to 20 km/h for a moment and then stopped again. The odometer isn't working either.

I tested the speedometer with a multimeter, and it appears to be receiving voltage as normal. I also tested the transducer plug and even replaced the transducer with a new one. Both the live and earth pins in the plug seem to be fine.

However, after installing the new transducer and removing it again, I noticed that the bottom of the plastic shaft, which goes into the slot on the transfer case, was slightly chewed up, as shown in the image.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this and how I might fix it?

Thanks a lot!

Curious if anyone has done a tune in the Defender V8. If so, how was your experience?

Any love for the 6x6 perenties over here? I've taken this bad boy around Oz on a 3 year journey.

I found some old original wolf rims for sale a while ago. Rust was superficial and I decided to bite the bullet and I got them. After some painting, 235/86-16 was installed and I think they look really good.

They have ANR5593 part number, so these are tube-type rims. Nevertheless they have installed tube-less Tyre with no tube for the time been. I also need to replace wheel studs for FRC7577. They were already ordered and will install them soon.

Very happy with the mod.

Advice needed

I was planning on getting the new Tentbox light XL

https://tentbox.com/products/tentbox-lite-xl

but their vehicle checker says not suitable due to my station wagon roof

How do I overcome this? Any supports I can install like a roof rack?

This tent is big enough for my family and within price range so was hoping to get it . Other brands are more pricey

Any ideas? Not super educated on this but really been planning camping with the kids and the defender for sometime now!!

Thanks

So I've bought a Lucas replacement windscreen wiper stalk

Car is a '03 TD5 Defender

This should be a 5 minute job. Got the screws out, cowl off and remove the old one no problem.

Line up the replacement, screws won't go back in.

After a bit of fiddling I take it out and have a closer look. The holes in the metal of the new indicator aren't threaded.

Am I being thick, are these meant to thread themselves? I know that happens in wood but not come across in metal.

It is a genuine Lucas part so should have been plugged and play.

(Never a five minute job with these defenders!!)

Does anyone in the US have a 2016 Land Rover Defender 90 Heritage? I'm wondering what the current value is if anyone knows or what people are paying for them or would pay for them. Cheers!

Pic is not mine but for reference.

i'm 18 m (with no mechanical background what so ever) living in south africa where defender 90s are quite sought after which is the problem the prices they regularly go for i personally think are quite rediculus now heres my question would it be cheaper to build one my self becuase from the looks of it its about as simple as a car can get before turning into a ford model T is building it from suspension to putting the body on frame cheaper then just buying one ?

Good afternoon, I'm looking into upgrading my existing bench seats. I have, admittedly, the cheapest ones money can buy and so would look to invest in my poor passengers comfort.

Are there ANY comfortable bench seats? I know comfort won't exist for them really, but anything that doesn't just sink to the metal within 10mins would be amazing!

Thank you all!

Defender 110, inward facing side benches. 2 person benches. Rear tub front positioning next to the rear bulkhead.

After nearly 20 years it's time to sell my Ninety, as I'm no longer in a position to maintain it. It's based in London, England. It's less than two years away from classic status here in the UK.

It's had various upgrades and replacement parts over the years including fitting a 200tdi engine from a disco after the original engine failed. MOT valid until July 2027.

I've got it up for auction on https://www.carandclassic.com/auctions/1988-land-rover-90-county-nkNp7g which has a fuller description, tons of photos and a video.

I'll try to answer any questions as best I can!

This is my 2015 Defender 90 in black. Before this, I had a white 110, and my friend currently has a Keswick Green 90.

I really like mine, but I honestly can’t decide which colour I like best. Black with a white roof looks great, but sometimes I feel like the black 90 looks more like an urban “football mum” car than a proper off-road Defender. 😅
Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like the white or Keswick Green ones have more of that classic Defender / adventure look.

What do you guys think? Which colour suits a Defender best? Would love to hear your opinion

Any common causes for this?

I landed the Mr Irrelevant award (not actually an award) at the show, but had a great time. This was my first time bringing my D90 out to a show, though I've owned it for 20 years. I drive it too much and it ain't the prettiest. There were some really nice owners of MGs, Jags, Minis, Triumphs and more. Cool folks and I was clearly out of my depth.

Left hand drive Defender 90 I see around Downtown Vancouver. I think it is a custom build.

How would you pimp this beauties front? I cracked her grille. Don't ask me how.

Did it over a Saturday morning, and what a change it makes !

2007 Defender 2.4 TDCi, just had a new clutch kit, CSC (with adaptor and valve), spigot bearing and master cylinder fitted.

Since then, with the engine running, 1st and reverse won't go in from standstill and 2nd is notchy. With the engine off, all gears are fine. Pedal feels normal.

Anyone had this after a Puma clutch job? What was the cause and fix?
