My 'new' Defender 90
After all the hassle with the new 110 it was eventually rejected and replaced with a D3.

Just bought myself a 90 200 Tdi for off-roading, not had a 90 for a long time and i had forgotten just how good they are off road. Took her to Tong today and had an absolute blast.

Few early pics to wet your appettite Very Happy

It blasted round Paul, absolutely awesome, a 90 with good tyres and a small lift goes places a D3 couldn't dream of.

I'm still grinning Mr. Green Andy

What size lift kit have you got? We think ours has a 3" lift and it took us 5 years to notice! Rolling with laughter Ben

A 3 " lift would need castor correction arms, longer brake lines etc, should be obvious Andy

I just measured it again (bl00dy cold) and I got 1975mm!

Thats apparently normal, however it wasn't on flat ground! Seems odd, last time I got 2044mm! Ben
