    Hi all- I just purchased a restored 1984 right hand drive 2.25 liter gasoline powered Defender. Couple of questions.. 1) In 1984 was it actually called a Ninety instead of Defender 90? 2) - I'm looking for a roof rack - I like the look and will not use it to haul things. Do aluminum ones...

    Guys, I just bought a 1994 soft-top and couldn't be more excited. It needs a little work, but I've been enjoying getting my hands dirty! As I'm new to D90s, I've got a couple questions, and would love some advice. 1. It has the original soft top, which is in good condition. The back...

    Hello, I am happy to say that last week I finally picked up a 97 D90. Thankfully, the truck has spent its life in Texas and rust is very minor and surface at best. I have a couple of questions and was hoping people could chime in: 1)The vent pipe on the gas tank is starting to crack. I am...

    Just bought a 94 D90. Drooled over them for 10 years now, so about time I got with the program. Also own a short wheelbase Mercedes G series (1981 turbodiesel) which frankly is probably a slightly better all-round vehicle, just nowhere near the cool factor of the D90. Now for the question...

    OK, just got home with the new baby (White '94 ST #601) and I noticed some curious things on the 1000 mile trip. For about the first 600 miles, whenever I would stop I'd notice a pool of coolant underneath. Looks like it's coming from the expansion tank, but it was hard to tell if it was the...
