Hello to everybody,
I have a defender 90 td5. I need to change the steering wheel, i
unscrew the central bolt... but nothing, no way to extract the old
one... i tryed to put son wd40 spray without result.

Can this be done on the car, or do the swivels have to be removed?
The last time I did it was off the car in the garage but it was part of
a complete refurbishment of the swivel on my son's car.
Cheers

I have a J reg (91) Defender 90 that I'm about to fit an auxiliary
tank to.  The tank is fitted under the passenger side (it's a "handed"
version of the standard one under the drivers side).  To get it to fit
as far up as possible ( and so give as much ground clearance as

Well all I can say is Land Rover really can build cars that work :) 2300
miles, no dramas, no problems - and an average of 18.9mpg which is not
bad when you consider how much autobahn/de-restricted roads there were
and we were tootling on the limiter (135mph).

fan in front which never seems to come on. Of course now I can't
remember if t ever did esp as someone told me it only comes on with the

It looks like I'll have to replace a propshaft or Maltese cross on my '96 Disco

Hiya all,
'93 Defender 90 200TDi
Took the two bolts out of the top of the front hubs to get the brake pipe
bracket off so I could shift the brake caliper so I could swap the discs.

Just fitted a new socket on the back.  The old one was rusted.  Have
carefully checked all connections and everything works except the nearside
rear light.  Can't see any obvious break so must be somewhere in the loom
and I do not have the expertise to find out where.

Come on boys, lets have some action.
We need a laning day soon, or an unnoficial?

I've got a 1993 RRC with a 200Tdi. It had a replacement (Discovery)
engine last February and that's fine but it's showing its age
(approaching 150,000 miles) in lots of other places. Steering,
suspension and brakes could do with attention (I think, based on

Thankfully the gearbox on the new toy seems OK, will add some synthetic
gearbox oil and see how it fares, off-road it was fine and never crunched
once, only seems to be quick changes from 1st to 2nd in high range that
trouble it.

It takes a special form of genius to design a hydraulic system wherein the
reservoir is the highest point, the slave cylinder the lowest, and yet it
still won't bleed successfully without the use of a pressure bleeder.
w.nkers.  And WTF is there a hydraulic switch for in the f.cking ...

As the title may be hinting, I'm looking for a windscreen for my 1988

sense, although I
could actually risk ordering three items, hope that one arrives intact and
