The Defender Rollercoaster: High Prices and Hidden Repairs fixing up an old Defender 90 Tdi
Defenders have become expensive to buy and even if you find one for a good price it will end up costing you more than you think to fix it up. In this video I show my finished Defender 90 Tdi project build and share my experiences and the cost of the refurb.

    Greetings Mr Legend. Congratulations on your completion of a magnificent chariot. I was also perplexed by the rooftop seal on my own project and can now say, after watching you, mine is on back to front and possibly upside down. It seems to be working proving our beloved wagons are quite forgiving to their 'wonky oak' owners.

    Very nice to see another original looking South African Tdi 90 without all the glitzy accessories and camper conversions. Such a nice looking vehicle, great job keeping it clean and original. I'm also pleased to see I'm not alone in keeping my defenders free of a bullbar. Mine is in much the same state, with a focus on the mechanical side and original trim, although I've kept the exterior 'patina' for the moment and I haven't been brave enough to rip the decals off! :) Interested to note that your diesel cap is on the left side and flush, is this an extra tank? My previous owner took parts of the aircon out of mine - If you have a moment sometime it would be great to see what a standard (I assume SA) installation looks like. I want to get it working again and I was interested to see that your compressor is like mine and mounted with horizontal bolts. The UK ones are vertical with a cover over it.

    • @madmandevelopments
      @madmandevelopments 23 дні тому

      The vertically mounted AC compressors are found on 300tdi Discoveries. It is a much better method of mounting than the SA Defender method. Pipes are different so it's not s simple swop.

    This was great my friend! What a great episode!👌 When you showed the marsh pictures, I was swatting mosquitoes! Lol I don’t know what comes first; Does the adventure demand the Land Rover, or does the Land Rover beckon for adventure? I think, depending on the individual, it’s both. I think, even more than a Toyota Land Cruiser or even a Jeep, a Series Land Rover or Defender looks like it’s on expedition just sitting in the driveway. The lion was interesting. I have a friend who raises orphaned Black Bears. He lets no one in the enclosure with them. He and his family bottle feed them in their kitchen, but has been bitten many times. They are very rough even when playing. If you have more content like this, it would make a great series. Cheers Allan.👍

      That's fantastic, Mozambique is a beautiful place to call home, I'm sure you can find a way to make your dream come true. Just start to see different places in Mozambique then go to other places in Africa and then save up for overseas travel.

    Hi Congratulations to you, your work was fantastic, I have a 1957 107 Sw under restoration too, and I would like to know if you could tell me the code of the blue paint you used and if the wheels were painted the same color? Thanks

      Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. The body is painted RAF blue and the wheels Dove Grey, this was one of the options from factory in UK, but it depended on models and regions. The paint codes are RAF blue Herberts 37262 Dove grey Herberts 37263, these may be DuPont codes now

    Very informative video, thanks!! I'm not sure if the LR4/Disco4 dash cover would fit a Disco3. Probably with some adaptations. I'm saying because it's leather wrapped, pretty nice and doesn't crack. It also has some special stitching where the passenger airbag is. Or else you could do an ugly glue-up just to make it solid and then cover he whole thing with a nice leather wrap based on the Disco4. Cheers from Canada!

      Thanks for the comments. They definitely fixed the dash cracking problem on the LR4 dash with that stitching, I always wondered why it was different until my dash cracked.

    Most of the dashmats should have cut outs for your airbags. For best fit, wet the mat and weight it with flexible weight ( bean or rice bags ) to hold it down and help it mould to your dash. Good luck.

    What happened to the four airbags you mistakenly replaced? LR TIME and LR DRIVE are good repair sources for Disco 3 (and 4). I’ve had a dash mat on my Disco 2a for years. It’s held in place with sticky pads and Velcro. There is a flap for the air bag should it activate. 💣 Steering damper swap for the wobbles?

      I sold the front airbags and kept the rear ones , this is rack and pinion steering so there is no damper

      @@TheOverlandLegend My Disco 3 is lowering overnight for three year now. At first theres the orange light on the dashboard with the alarm song bothering me all the time. Then I discovered a crack on the cover of the air filter on the compressor. After I replaced the filter the light never come up again, but the suspension continues to lower overnight. I suspect the problem is on the front valve or in one of the struts. I really don't want to spend a fortune in the strut and yet not solving the problem. I will try to take out the number 26 fuse to see what happen overnight, Cheers.

      Does anyone make a coil spring conversion for that vehicle? Not ideal but--. As for the dash, I think I would go with a cover first. At least a cover would protect the dash underneath and possibly prevent it from further damage. Cheers Alan.

      ⁠​⁠@@calsurflance5598yes there is a coil conversion but then you loose the ride quality and versatility with height adjustment and the electronics get confused and you have to somehow overcome all the errors not sure how to do that so I’m just sticking it out

      @ A full brake rebuild kit is on order. I went for a drive and scared myself. A rear axle seal failed and coated the right rear brake shoes with gear oil. Not an ideal experience. At least I avoided adding any more “patina “ to it!😱 Oh well,It’s a work in progress and a retirement hobby. I’m happy how the inside came out. Paint and new seats turned back the years spent on a cattle ranch. Thoroughly enjoying your channel. Has there been progress on this S2A?
