  1. Thanks for the reply. Will try source down a second hand set
  2. Hi guys. I’m not sure if this topic has been covered yet. I currently have a 1989 90 which is fitted with a hardtop. I’d like to convert it to a soft top and have a spare set of hood sticks from a series swb lying around. Will these fit on the 90? I’m aware that the horizontals will need to be made longer but will everything else fit, such as the frames over the doors?
  3. Thanks Simon.. Ill plan to get the engine out How can i test the seal for leaks before putting the engine back in??
  4. Yes both seals were original - At least the price reflected this... To be honest i found replacing the T seals quite easy.. I have also noticed that on flat ground there is almost no leak.. but when im on a down hill, the leak is very heavy, almost a constant drip..???????
  5. Hi Nigel, Im from Malta and can give some advice.. Tell your friend to contact me..
  6. Brake lines are 3 months old - copper and braided +2 flexible. Fluid is new too
  7. Looks like the T seals didn’t make a difference.. what do you all think, engine out again and yet another new rear crank seal??
  8. Hi all, im having issues with my defender brakes. I have a 1989 90 with a 300tdi, rear 24 spline axle and 10 spline axle in the front. last April, my brake pedal kept sinking to the floor slowly so decided to change the master cylinder and got one for a 110 (I was told it’s better) this solved the issue but brakes were never perfect. - the car would stop but not as powerful as they were before.. recently my brakes started getting worse and worse, some times they would stop the car immediately other times, the pedal will go hard but the car will not stop immediately. Lately the 90 started pulling hard to the left when braking, and the pedal slowly sinks to the floor again. I found the front driver side caliper piston seals were leaking, replaced then but the car remained the same, I have checked the vacuum and that is fine. PS. The pedal still slowly sinks. Any ideas???
  9. New seals in place... trial tomorrow - fingers CROSSED!!!
  10. Hi everyone, I have bought a few of those ‘T’ Seals and a new rear crank seal for worst case scenario.. i have also notcied that my clutch fluid level is going down quite fast.. could this actually mean that the slave cylinder is leaking hydraulic fluid into the bell housing and draining out of the wading hole looking like engine oil due to the dust from the clutch??
  11. Good evening everyone.. last month i replaced the rear crank seal rank seal as I had oil leaking out from the bellhousing wading plug. All has been good until now.. the past couple of days I have noticed oil leaking out again!! This time, much more.. I have spoken to a local agent and he said that it probably is the ‘T’ seals now. He also said that the engine will need to be removed from the 90, drained from oil, flipped over, sump removed and worked on like that.. my question is, can the seals be replaced with the engine in place from underneath the vehicle?? I don’t have any experience with these seals but usually do all the jobs on my 90. Maybe if some one has some photos to point out where these seals actually are, I can understand the type of job it is... thanks
  12. the centre gears in the middleof the differential broke. What caused it is a mixture of things... Offroad abuse, Towing a a tow truck up a hill (First sign that it was going - Noise), and the final thing was the MOT guy put it on incorrect rollers..
  13. Good morning everyone, Two days ago i broke the differential inside the lt230 transfer box on my 90 (300tdi with r380). Last night I replaced the differential without removing the transfer box from the car.I managed to reinstall the replacement differential without removing the selector shaft/fork. Closed everything up, attached front prop shaft, engaged diff lock, engaged gear, tried to rock the car and it moved freely.. any ideas to what is going on? Thanks, James

  15. Ok I'll see what he has. He has told me that it is already removed and there is no wiring with it :/ He has informed me that it is the complete system so I'll make sure that the thermostat housing elbow is included. Thanks.
