The slow, pains taking process, of sorting the wiring commences. I have never seen such a bodge job in my life…
O well, trace and mark, trace and mark.Good luck getting the paint… All UK companies I have tried refuse to post it as its classed as hazardous good… If you find a provider in EU please let me know.
Hi Denis,
I tried Castrol 75w 90 when I first got my 90 TD5 last year. Found real problems in the winter getting second gear. Changed for Land Rover MTF. Expensive but gear box seems happier. I have done 30k this year and checked gear box level this week. Oil still looks new.
Have a look here for reference https://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/topix/service/archive/63182/technical%20data.pdf
All the Best Michael

Thanks Svante,
The biggest pain was I had to remove the winch as I could not access the grill screws. Then getting the bonnet catch to line up again was a bit fiddly, but other than that not so bad.
All the Best Michael
Hi Anders,
You will find it on the vin plate near the master brake cylinder, see sketch attached. Its normally a 3 digit code, also see https://www.defender-landrover.co.uk/p/paint-codes.html

Hi Thomas,
Question if you dont mind. I have an old spare set of BFG AT. Do you know if it would it be legal for me to add screw studs? I have decent normal studded winter tires, but if we get as much show as last year up here in Kramfoss I was thinking snow tires may be better. I had to resort to chanins at one point…
All the Best Michael
I fitted Cooper mud/snow tires to my Defender 90 https://www.bythjul.com/dack/cooper Happy with them, but it has reduced fuel economy.

Thanks Henrik,
I will be intrested to see if the intercooler and electric fan improve the fuel consuption. At nearly 18SEK a Lt its getting expensive.
Sorry for writing in English. When I purchased my Lastbilsregistrerad Defender 90 the guy I brought it from said the single back seat in back cargo area could be used for short distances. After checking the rules and with a Police friend of mine I have removed the seat. Apparently these can only be used if the vehicle is registered as a camper, has a bed, table and cooker fitted. There are a couple other rules, but neither applied, see attached.

Hi Tony,
Just as follow up, I watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miatX9mkxNs I have been using this guy as reference for ages. He shows refurbishing his clutch.
He recommends changing DOT4 for ATF steering fluid. I am going to try it as I can see from the colour of my clutch fluid its wearing again. The idea is ATF gives better lubrication than DOT4 and as far as I can see DOT4 is only needed for brakes as they get hot. I will need to give it a good flush out, but I will try it and let you know.Cheers Michael
Hi Mattias,
Sorry I cant write in Swedish. However, I used a garage storage place 9kms from Arlanda airport. There is a bus and taxis that run to the airport, so an quick ride into Stockholm on train. I used this for several years for storing my car while working overseas. Much cheaper than Stockholm prices. https://storemore.se/arlanda
