Newbie signing in
Hi all I'm A new member from Derbyshire.

I've been lurking for a while, taking lots in, looks like a good friendly forum to me!

Just picked up my 07 truck cab, so thought I'd best join and say hello.

I've had a few Landys in the past and still own a few, but never had a 90! Got to say I'm loving it so far it quite different to the car it replaced!!!

I've not got any photos of it yet but here's one from the add



The ifor top is already sat in the garden!!

Current plans are tyres, probably A/Ts on wolf rims, then either replace the worn seat bases or possible use a re-trim kit from exmoor. Anyone done this before or got any tips?

I've also got a '58 series 2 I rebuilt and a bob tailed range which will be getting towed by the new 90.

Cheers for looking

hi seaton,
excellent 90 and i love the series2 ragtop Thumbs Up

i've retrimed my 300 tdi seats and they are very straight forward to do; and exmoor trim can also help over the phone too. i am very cack handed on anything diy and i managed it with a quite good end result Thumbs Up there is plenty of help on here if you get stuck as well.

Big fan of the S2. Make sure there is security on the new defender, there has been a lot of 'borrowing' lately.

Well that was an interesting day it seams i’ve got some forum searching to do as after 200 odd miles i’ve got my first fault!!!
It will start then either immediately die or idle rough at around 500rpm with the throttle having no input to the engine speed.

Edit to add it will run with a bit of excess throttle when starting dut dies when coasting.

Cheers good to know the seat are easy to do, i’m fine with a spanner or welder but electronics and fiddly trim bits make me nervous!

Cheers for the friendly welcome from the rest i’m already familiar with the Landy wave from driving the series 2.

Looks like ill have a trip to paddocks in the morning to get a new filter, then maybe a trip to see if i can get any codes read.

This looks like what it's doing.



if you start it with the throttle partially pressed its goes and pulls as it did previously but some times cuts out again if you let it idle.

Very Happy woohoo, tried a new fuel filter with no improvement, took it for diagnosis and had the fuel rail valve and fuel pressure control valve replaced now appears to be running fine. Finger crossed its problem solved!

I can now start looking for wheels n tyres.

Hi Seaton and welcome !
Have to say I just love your S2. Perfect colour as well. Although it is blasphemy to say on this forum I've never liked the Series 1. It looks too dinky. The S2, however just captures the whole zeitgeist of Landrover in the last 50 years IMHO.
