Thanks - yes, perhaps I’ve been lucky with the camera but so far so good. I don’t think it was anything branded. I don’t really have much else on it - a fairly ordinary Sony double DIN radio and the camera is on a switch rather than connected to reverse light…. Meaning I normally have it on while driving - quite nice to watch what is going on behind whilst trundling down the road!

I thought about getting the same item. But ended up going for an eBay special and mounting it here. Easy enough to mount & repair and the view angle isn’t too bad at all. Nice that it is a fairly central position.

No Idea I’m afraid - they were locally sourced for about £30 from someone who had stripped out a minibus / coach. They weren’t anything special really and needed a fair bit of cut n shut to separate out the seat base from backrest. That type do come up periodically but not particularly worth holding out for I wouldn’t say.

Is this what you’re looking for? https://www.braunability.eu/globalassets/products/flooring-and-seating/rails/user/ui1394i---rails-installation-user-manual.pdf

Thanks - glad you like it! The pics are part of a full catalogue of build pics. You can see the full collection of this and other projects at http://www.85ninety.co.uk Do ask if anything isn’t clear.

Having bought my 90 a decade ago, I knew there would come a time when I wanted seats in the back. It’s not a new problem so I thought I’d share my solution in case it helps anyone else. Basically we have a pair of minibus seats with integral belts mounted to a bus seat’s demountable base - cut and shut for defender proportions. It mounts to UNWIN rails which are bolted to chassis through the tub. One of the nice things is that they can be demounted in 2mins and can be either forward or rear facing. When not in use, the rails are pretty handy too for securing the dog!

I haven’t actually tried it with just the rears.....It’s so damn close with all 4 it seems unlikely.. If I did just rears and removed the hood and hoops then it’d probably work. But since everything came as sets of 4 and having the impact gun it is all pretty swift. There is a roll bar under the hood so it wouldn’t work without the little wheels. On a plus point it can all be flogged on once I get the garage roof raised!

Apologies for thread resurrection.... but I was reading this thread recently as have bought a new place with a much lower garage door than previous home... needed a quick fix before raising the roof. 90 on std 235s is about 203cm tall at highest point (middle tilt hoop) as discussed previously, 13’” Ifor Williams wheels do fit but need 30mm spacers to clear callipers. Once all on the roof height drops to about 188cm and so just cleared the 190cm. Hope this helps others in the future..

Not sure if anyone is using the same Clarke cabinet, but Ifound the problems could be fixed with a new lid, two mini halogen floods, replacable woodburning stove laminated glass window, massive filter panel and increaced internal volume. 10 years later still going strong. I use a henry hoover with mine. https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/small-clarke-blast-cabinet-improvement.20261/

In’t It just the 300tdi pump that can unscrew to access the gauze? Nonetheless, After changing the filter and draining out about 20 litres of amber coloured diesel & refilling with fresh it seems to have done the trick! Hopefully can keep a more social idle RPM next. Thanks for the suggestions.

Lovely - thanks for the advice. I’ll look into those and see how it goes before ditching the fuel. Didnkt know the delphi pump had another level of filtering so I’ll have a look there too.

Thanks for that Steve. I didn’t know fuel could degrade that quickly. from the RAC website ‘As for diesel, it can remain usable for between six and 12 months before becoming ‘gummy’ which, if used, can clog up filters and cause you issues with your engine.’ Anyone know what can done with half a tank of diesel? I presume the local tip doesn’t want it?! And if I do drain it on the driveway, how many litres of jerrycan fuel is needed to get running again - I’m guessing a good 20litres...? Filters first i guess.... lift pump, timing, hoses all to look at.

Hi. My 90 (with 200tdi disco conversion) has developed a stalling issue having run well for years. It still starts on first turn, runs well, boosts well and even idles nicely - generally seems happy in all respects. Drives well but when allowed to drop from driving rpm to an idle it stalls. It does very few miles each year at the moment (last year managed a grand total of 35miles). Filters haven't been changed for a few years and no doubt fuel is years old too but due to low mileage it hasn't been a priority. Full filter set now on their way. I've adjusted the idle screw until is is way faster than it ought to be but it is still wanting to drop to a stall. I'm guessing air or fuel restrictions somewhere but can anyone give me a likely suspect list to go through to work out what next if the filters don't sort it?

nothing to see here! sorry.
