Just ran across this old picture of my LR3 loaded up with my personal library (now much expanded), shortly before the air suspension compressor gave out--resulting in my completing the rest of my cross-town move with the suspension resting on the bump-stops until I was able to get a replacement...

So I am getting what looks like blue washer fluild leaking over the rear cross-member fuel tank. I am not sure of the routing of the rear washer fluid line; any pointers on where the line is likely to be broken and/or how to access it? More specifically, the rear door and rear carpets are...

What are people using these days? I am in the process of looking for a dash-mount radio head-unit / receiver for both of my trucks, preferably with a "floating" screen and wireless Apple CarPlay. I currently have the single-DIN pre-TD5 factory "angled hanging" mount pictured below setup...

Power Steering Pump Britpart ETC9077 Purchased from RN (# PLI104) $200 including shipping (OBO) Condition: "Like New" --> I installed this on my 1989 D90 and realized that I had ordered the wrong part when the PS hoses would not actually reach , but never bothered to return it.

I live in Michigan and have been having trouble with very high humidity levels during the winter in my three-bay unheated detached garage (most likely the large quantity of firewood also stored in there, and generally swampy ground). Summer is not a problem since I can run a "normal"...

I am considering adding window-tint to my five door D110 to help keep the internal temperatures down in the summer and provide a little more privacy in the rear, as I like to keep recovery and overlanding gear in the cargo area, and yet frequently have to park in built-up areas (and it is not...

In addition to being very sturdy seat belt anchors (or tie-downs), are these inside rear tub bars needed for structural support? I am considering installing a "Troy" box, which would require removing one of them. (Vehicle: 1997 D110 - Factory County Station Wagon)

Exchange rates for the British Pound are nearing parity, and the Euro is just below parity--which means that now seems like an excellent time to make your large overseas parts order, or to import that truck you have been looking at (excluding shipping costs, which have admittedly risen...

I found this small plastic part loose (not connected to anything) in my 1989 Ninety underneath the headlamp buckets in the area between the inner wheel well and the front grill area. Cabin air filter holder? Do old Defenders even have these? (My truck has no A/C)

As an overland enthusiast (like many of you), I ordered FrontRunner's fancy rear drawer set for my truck, which is a very nice (if excessively priced) piece of kit. The issue that I am having in installing it is that the drawer is clearly designed to be used in the rear tub of a Defender which...

Stupid issue -- the hood on my 90' is completely stuck closed. The release pull-cable inside the cab appears to not be broken, but does not "release" when I pull on it with a normal amount of force; I can get at the release latch on the front, but the hood remains jammed closed. Any...

A Land Rover made it to the Supreme Court: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/28/us/politics/supreme-court-excessive-fines-land-rover.html For the record, so-called "civil forfeiture" is nothing but theft-by-government.

1989 Diesel Turbo LHD Ninety. Can someone tell me which of these terminals/switches along the left-hand front wing are factory-original, and which are Italian-engineered extras added by previous owners? (1) and (4) - Wiring terminals (to add accessories?) -- they look reasonably original...

The LT77 transmission (SN: 54A018xxxE ? E-suffix) on my 1989 Ninety Diesel Turbo 19J has become extremely difficult to shift into first and second gears, causing me to stall-out at stoplights etc. To change gears, the shifter has to be rocked from side-to-side even when the truck is stationary...

The cloth headliner on my station wagon 90 is sagging in the back, especially near the alpine windows (very common). Is there any reason that I should not pull out the existing rear headliner and leave it blank until I get around to installing a new set? How does the bare-metal look (I have the...

The transmission in my 1989 Turbo Diesel 90 (19J engine / LT77 transmission with E-suffix) is jammed in reverse ? which occurred within 30 miles of getting the clutch and flywheel replaced. The shift-lever now moves freely (to the point where I hit my hand against the bulkhead) but is completely...

2.5L Diesel Turbo :: 1989 Land Rover 90 (2017-12-09 18:20:54)

I just acquired a great looking 1989 D90 LHD (with the infamous 19J / 2.5L Turbo Diesel), and am neck-deep in sprucing it up and sorting out the expected mechanical gremlins. The most pressing issue at the moment is a substantial power steering fluid leak, apparently coming from the power...
