A few little updates to the 90 - nothing major but it changes the look a bit.

For a while I've been toying with the idea of 95mm lights all round on the back. I nipped into IRBdevelopments over the weekend and there was a set of genuine plinths and lights waiting there on the shelf and I couldn't say no!

Ian made up 2 adapter looms (rather than spending something like £50 odd quid each for genuine ones) and they were fitted - dead easy.

Also Mrs Grafty and I have been away in my sisters caravan and after 1000 miles of towing my Provent has started to collect oil. Over those 1000 miles I would say it collected 75ml of oil. I don't know if that's good, bad or indifferent but I now have a benchmark.

A few parts have arrived for the 90 as well. Electronic headlight adjusters being one of them - unfortunately they don't work as the plug in the loom has been dangling in the inner wing for 17 years and the contacts have corroded. I need to either buy new wing looms or try and find the plugs (or pins) for the motors.

Anyway, enough waffle, here are a couple of pics of the updated back end Thumbs Up

I like it George, have done this on my last and current 110. Only difference is I use a red unit for the brake/tail. Andy

Yours was the first I'd seen with all 95mm and with 6 along the bottom Thumbs Up I think it makes the back end look more balanced somehow. I tried a set of reds but I think all clear suits mine better Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Looks great! I just have the twin 95mm ones at the bottom but it irritates me how the fog and reverse look different. Tempeted to do the triple one day.

I'd definitely recommend doubling up. There's a very noticeable difference in light output Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Am i right in thinking the wiring is already inside to do so? Seem to remember seeing the spare plugs...

From what I understand, some are and some aren't. Mine didn't have any but it was easy enough to run a patch loom across the back Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Looking good there grafty lad, Thumbs Up have a look on here, to see if you can get the connectors, I made a fan loom up for the metro, using the connectors from here. https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/connectors/...onnectors/ Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

[quote="bankz5152"][quote="grafty99"]I haven't forgotten the pics Col, they're en route!

It's been a busy week or so and I forgot to update the thread. Firstly I did a bit of tin tent towing (not a holiday). So there's a picture of that (showing off my newly acquired towing mirrors).

You're not the first person to ask that, Simon Rolling with laughter

As they'll be used on the 110 and RRC it's probably best they stay black - if they were solely used on my 90 then they would 100% be colour coded Laughing

Although maybe I could paint them gloss black Whistle 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon
