Having always been a RRC guy and just bought my first Defender, I just realized that finding parts is quite different. The RRC is easy, there's always somebody parting one out. Not true with defenders. So do many of the D1 parts fit? I immediately need 4 lug nuts and a center cap for standard defender alloy wheels on a '97 NAS (not the boosts), rover parts has them but just more so curious about parts in general. I've got a water pump from my old 95 RRC that looks like it'll fit the D90. So not really a question, just a realization for me.
The wheels on your D90 are the same that came on D1's.(although they have a different part #)
Lug nuts are easy to find at the salvage guys.
Center caps too.
I find this thread rather ironic since I had a far harder time finding parts for the RRC I recently sold than I ever did for a Defender. You can practically build a Defender from parts that are readily available from multiple sources, whereas I found some RRC parts to be unobtainable.
Just try finding a set of '95 RRC front door speaker grilles.
but good to know that D1 and some 95 RRC parts are interchangeable. Ordering plugs, fuel filter, plug wires soon.

yeah, I never had a hard time but all of my '95s were totally complete. I've seen so many struggle with the speaker grille thing, never knew that was an issue until seeing it all over the forums. I've had 3 '95 RRCs in the past and none of them were missing the covers. No clue what people are doing to break or loose these things.
on a completely unrelated note, I need OEM door speaker grilles for a '97 D90
