    Defender blows a pushrod :(

    okay so just thought I would finally give y'all an update, sorry I know it's been awhile. I think what happened was that sometime before having replaced my head gaskets the engine "hydrolocked" from there being too much coolant in one of the combustion chambers; I just kept cranking the engine...

    D90 Softop hardware

    hi all, anybody have any hardware from their besttop softops they would be willing to sell? I need the alpine bars (I think these are the ones that go behind the doortops in a sleeve that's sown into the fabric of the top, I think they're supposed to make a better seal around the windows) and...

    Defender blows a pushrod :(

    Well anyways, I took the heads off and found where the pushrod came from, the front passenger side cylinder. Also took off the oilpan and found a bent/broken piston rod which corresponded to the cylinder w/ the missing pushrod. By the way the pushrod fell out through the lifter hole after the...

    Defender blows a pushrod :(

    So I just finished installing a new proline head gasket set in my 1997 4.0 Defender, thought I did a great job putting it all back together. Started it up, ran very well, drove it around for a while, no problems. Went to go get take out later in it and on the way home hear a pow, oil light goes...

    Replacing Head Gaskets

    I'm changing the head gaskets because there is a small coolant leak, but the engine has never been overheated in its 63,000 miles, is it really necessary that I get the heads checked for warp?

    Land Rover Defender Speaker Box

    I need a good new/used condition rear driver's side speaker box for a 1997 NAS Defender. The one that I have that sits in the rear corner of the car is broken I imagine from the seatbelt being blown around. It's just getting worse and do not want to replace it with some cheap, unoriginal...

    Does anyone know where I can find a new old stock speaker box/surround for my rear left hand speaker in my D90? I'm hoping there's some original equipment ones out there.

    '97 D90 doesn't want to start in the morning

    Thanks Disco Mike for the service list, I really appreciate your taking the time to type that up, Especially since I just got this truck and I'm only 18 so I'm not quite sure what I'm dealing with.

    '97 D90 doesn't want to start in the morning

    My starter also doesn't kick the gear out far enough sometime which I read could be indicative of some electrical problems so could that be part of the issue? I have a new starter to install but getting the original one out is not easy at all.

    Alright so this morning the truck didn't want to start again, after I used starting fluid though it started right up. I didn't have to use the fluid when I started it the next two times this morning though and then on my way to school noticed my check engine light on.
