[Will these mud tyres fit??]

Hi

Looking into getting some BF Goodrich or Cooper mud tyres for my standard/not lifted 1993 Defender 90. At the moment I have 235/70R16, so would 235/85R16 still fit ok considering the wings, wheel arches and my current wheels?

Thank you for the help

[Galvanised chassis a modification?]

thanks ejparrot for the advice, I think I am inclined to mention it all, just incase the worst does happen, I will want them to pay out or recover the vehicle.

[Galvanised chassis a modification?]

Hi

Just wondering if people know whether insurance companies class a galavanised chassis as a modification and so you have to declare it?

As far as I'm concerned its just a straight swap, old (damaged) for new, is it not? technically no modification has been done.

Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

Chris

[Gearbox, transfer box, axle/diff oils]

Thank you everybody for your responses - special thanks to Sam90 for all the quantities I will need, much appreciated.

Ok my weekend job now is sorted. My rear hub seals are weeping slightly aswell - is there anything I need to know when replacing them/other things to look at whilst I'm under there people can think of?

Thanks

Chris

[Gearbox, transfer box, axle/diff oils]

Hi

Could somebody please help me, what would you recommend as the best oils/fluids etc to use in my 1993 Defender 90? I want to drain the oils out of the gearbox, transfer box and both axles/diffs and replace with nice brand new stuff - as I have no idea when it was last done. Details are below:

Gearbox = standard LT77

Transfer box = standard LT230

Front axle/diff = standard 200TDi

Rear axle/diff = fitted from a 300TDi (so disc brakes at the back, if that makes a difference)

Also how much oil will I need, how much does each part take to fill up to the correct point? Sorry I'm asking for quite a lot of info here, so I very much appreciate everyones help.

Thank you

Chris

[Rotten footwell]

Well it's £40 just for the panels Here - YRM Metal Solutions.

Then, perhaps a days worth of labour (more likey to be two, what with all the strip down needed?? Therefore at least 8 hours at £20 p/hour? I'd say you'd be lucky to spend less than £200. More likely £250 all in.

If it takes them two days (it really shouldn't though), obviously more.

All guess work however, when my footwells went I replaced the entire bulkhead, as I was rebuilding anyway (but I don't recommend that).

Thank you for your reply Adam. Yeah don't need the do any bulkhead work, its solid as a rock.

I may take it to the the garage i've taken my Landys to in the past and get a quote, they do a very good job and their prices are pretty fair i think.

[Rotten footwell]

Does anybody know a rough price a usual Land Rover specialists garage will charge to replace the footwell behind the pedals in a 90, as its rotting away at the bottom. The base (straight part) of the footwell is fine, but the small strip of metal in between the base and pedal section has a hole and rot also.

If anyone has any idea idea it will be appreciated?

Thanks

Chris

[Engine oil to use 200TDi]

Hi

I've heard conflicting views on the oil to use in a Defender 200TDi. I'll go for the 15W40, but somebody said that sticky oil (like Castrol Magnatec) is no good, but somebody else recommended it.

Also what type would be best: mineral, fully synthetic or part synthetic etc?

Thank you

Chris

[1993 Defender 90 200tdi owners manual]

Hiya

I've been trying to find a downloadable owners manual for my Defender 90. I've searched through the forums but all the links are out of date. I've also searched google, but only seem to find manuals for 1983-1990 models.

Any help is much appreciated.

[H reg Defender 200TDi???]

Hi

Can somebody please help.

I've just seen a Defender 90 on ebay that is an H reg and on his description it says it was registered on 1st August 1990. Does this mean it has a 200TDi or the old 2.5TD because I've searched on google and found a place saying only Defenders from September onwards had the 200TDi?

Is this correct?

Thank you for any help.
