    I am putting my 3.9V8 back in my 95 NAS D-90. I can't figure out where this one vacuum line attaches. Can anyone look at their vehicle and tell me where it attaches? It is typically turned down. It is Tee'd off of the Crank case Vent pipe but there is nothing near by to connect to and my...

    Hi folks, I've got a 1986 Land Rover Tithonus Defender 110. The mechanical lift pump seems to be going out, and won't keep it's prime. I have a new lift pump to replace it, but I'm looking to install a 12V electric fuel pump as well, per Robert Davis's suggestion often mentioned on these...

    I have been handling smaller projects on my 1988 90 and having a great time messing around but my next project is a serious one. I need to get a Safety Devices Full Cage (L188) installed and I don't think I have the knowledge or desire to try and get it done on my own. Has anyone had a shop...

    RIVNUT, RND829, ANR6563 - Rovers North - Classic Land Rover Parts I need to install M8 Rivnuts (above link for reference) into my frame so I can mount the fuel line brackets on either side of the frame. Unfortunately these were not put in before the drivetrain was dropped in so I have limited...

    So I have a rebuilt 300 TDi without the air cleaner bracket for a defender installed. The shop that rebuilt it, said to just remove the two head bolts, install the bracket and retorque the two bolts. Has anyone done this before with or without issues? It makes me nervous to not retorque them all.

    I'm going to be addressing my D90 window rattles with the Garrison Outfitters kit for the sliding windows in the cargo area. I know they should be reinstalled with a double sided weather stripping (I think LR PN is MUC1008). Is this what you all have used for the job or is there a more widely...

    Hoping someone can help. Forgive me if I'm being slow...I'm a newbie. I bought a 1985 110 pickup with SERIOUS electrical problems. The former owner's mechanic disconnected everything except what's needed to start the car and told me to change all of the wiring harnesses because they'd been...

    All, I just became the proud owner of a 1994 D90 after 12 years of a love hate relationship with a Disco II. It came with a brand new Rovers North Soft Top and I was hoping to get some step by step guidance on the removal and installation. Last thing I want to do is "ham hand" it and tear...

    I can't make this stuff up. Removed a WIX 33472 from the truck, 300tdi. Go to install a Mahle AEU2147LM and it doesn't seem to fit. Am I correct in that the Mahle filter is the correct one for a 300tdi? Thanks, Alex

    Edited: I'm installing a Bestop fold and tumble rear seat (39440-01) in my ROW D90. For those that have installed the seat, how close to the front of cargo area did you mount it? When rolled up, how close is it to the front divider? Any measurements for this seat or a NAS truck with a bench...

    Hi, I am replacing my rear vinyl bench seat in my D110 5 door with a 3 -piece cloth set that I purchased from a forum member. I received a box of hardware and seats that I have no idea how to install. Does anyone have these seats, and if so, can I ask for a bunch of pictures showing how these...

    Ok, I have officially inhaled gasoline vapors for 2.5 hours, and I need help. (If I even get close to the fireworks tonight, I might explode) I bought a 92 RRC with a bad fuel pump, after addressing the wiring issues, I hooked up the new fuel pump outside the tank, and it works great...

    I found that my original 1994 NAS V8 engine compartment fuse box was literally dangling off the mount and does not have a cover. That combination and off roading have resulted in it being quite dirty, dusty and muddy and exposed to the elements. I understand from a prior post / issue that one...

    I can finally share the latest upgrades to my 1997 D90, the old Cube II :) It all started when - a couple of years ago - I found out the rear crossmember was rotten beyond repair; not a big surprise, being a well known "mud trap" due to poorly thought design, and made of thin foil too :mad I...

    I need to install a wiring kit on the 110 to pull a pop up. I feel like this should be rather simple and I'd rather not pay someone to do this. The 90 has it installed and when I look at it the wires run from the plug up towards the passenger side rear lights but then another set of wires...

    I put a set of Terrafirma rose jointed rear radius arms on the truck. My question is...do I install them to the same length as the originals or adjust them so the pinion angle is -1 degree? Does it matter? I'm inclined to use the adjustability to set the pinion angle.

    Two questions for those who have converted from a hard top to a soft top - 1. How does the roll cage connect to or through the rail that sits above the door. My understanding is that you use parts RRC8386 and RRC8387 but there's no hole for a through bolt to connect into the roll cage as...

    My RN LED tail lights should be waiting at my door tonight when I get home, and I plan to install them tomorrow. Can someone point me in the direction of what I may need in order to get these things working? I assume I'll need relays, and I'm hoping they are available at the local parts...
