    Tonneau cover for 90 Truck cab

    in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)

    Posted

    I had 1 made for my 90. Went to a place in Dulverton on Exmoor. They normaly do curtain sided lorrys, banners for shows etc. Went in asked, drove away 1/2 hr later with the tonneau cover made, all the poppers to fit and the elastic to tension and a small metal loop in the centre to hold it up to the cage to stop water pooling. And only cost 20 quid. I had it made in black but they do all sorts of colours. From bright yellow to bright pink and all in between

    That sounds just like I am wanting, cheers for that. I will ask around here in the North East tro see if anyone can do the same.

    Cheers

    Hi all, I want to made a tonneau cover for the rear of my 90 truck cab to hide stuff in the back to make them less nick-able. Trouble is it has tree sliders fitted, so I have no tying points. Has anyone made one, and if so how did you go about it?

    I was thinking of getting a second hand one from a L200 / Navara type and modifying it to fit, but am unsure how it would fasten down, or trying to make a solid one ???

    Any ideas

    3.5 V8 running problems

    Cheers for those pdf documents for fault findings. I have had a read through the flapper type, which mine is. I may be completely wrong here but I dont think the problem of the spluttering momenterrily when applying power is due to that.

    Has anyone else had this kind of problem?

    Kind regards

    3.5 V8 running problems

    Afternoon all, I wasnt sure which sectio to put this in as she is a RR/90 hybrid, so here goes.

    She has a 3.5 engine in, ran fine when I got her, although my Dad always thought she had a slight lumpy idle, like she had a pot off, but ran great when driving. After a while, up until a couple of days ago when driving, especially when accelerating quite hard she would miss. It is like the all 8 pots would miss, not just one, if you know what I mean. Only for a split second then ok again. Now this is becomming more frequent. I have changed all leads and no difference. I looked inside the cap to see if there was any tracking but nothing.

    I dont know if its connected or not, but when revving her up, in P or N, and quickly back off the engine will cut out as the idle speed appears to drop too low, but this doesnt happen when driving?

    The dizzy is a type that I havent seen before (but there again I am used to a simple setup on a series!!) Inside there is a clear plastic cover type thing that is screwed down, Lucas on it I think, and on the outside of the dizzy, on the right hand side, if looking from front of vehicle is a small box of tricks.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to where to start and look for probs as I am hoping to have my first trial in her on Sunday and would love that to happen

    Your help/advice is greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards

    ZF Auto box, very stiff gear lever

    in Range Rover Forum

    Cheers for that guys. Its on a Range rover/90 hybrid that I have just bought from a guy in my local club. The gear lever is in the middle, where the centre seat should be, and I have no trim to remove so can see the whole lot (top down). I havent had a look underneath yet but will do and check the route of the cable.

    I phoned ascrofts yesterday, and they also said about the cable possibly rusting and swelling inside the outer cable, so dismantle, emery paper, silicone grease and give it a try.

    Kind regards
