thats the crazy world we live in now, in the older times things were simpler and a screwdriver, hammer and prob some tape anything could be fixed.
Is there no aftermarket pattern parts available? Or have they now got to the stage its not worth even aftermarket making parts for these cars Maybe my age but its only a 30 year old car? Searching for my first Defender...and started just as Covid hit, so talk about timing. 5 months after starting the search I found it, and here is the details |

my pal has had the HP pump tested and its brown bread. Its not generation the pressure to start the engine, so another one is on order, nearly £400 all in timing belt etc.

my pal just needs to order the remaining odds and sods, and come down and help me get this back on the road, for the 1st time this year
 longest this car has been laid up sadly 
Once this is up and running, i am going to see if i can get the original wheels balanced, and get those sorted and back on the car. the front tyres have seen better days now. 
insurance is practically 200 quid to insure, which is peanuts now for this, its now a practical classic car, the lads on the forum years ago never thought these would never get old, but yep they do Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it! |

back in business! But a clip for the brake switch has vanished out of the dash
So my brake lights are on all the time, So the steering is in bits and the switch is out at the moment. The clip is ordered off.
It was great to hear her fire up again, my mum jumped for joy when she heard her fire over. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it! |

in the next few months this will be mams daily driver, they are putting their landy in for a chassis and body work revamp. my plans of sorting the bodywork has gone on hold again.
i think my dad is regretting his remark last year about scrapping it, as its saving the day Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it! |

I have decided to revert the wheels back to a standard XSI wheel, when i get the car back, I cannot invest in a wheel that no tyre place can balance, So i have bought a set of four and i am looking at getting a matching spare. I am going to get them refurbed then tyres on. I have just bought a few bits to service the brakes on it, pads have been on for 4 years now, and god knows what crap discs have been put on it, for the MOT. I am also saving now to get the bodywork sorted, and i think i will get it in for a clutch and speedo sensor. When it comes back to me, they are going on about the speedo, and i am like, well i cannot do
 all, until your car comes back. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

yeah its way over due! the replacement wheels are already here, just got to get them looking nice, with new tyres and on the car.
Thanks to the info on the forum, on helping me out with getting them delivered. Big Dave helped out by recommending shiply, sadly he couldn't do business with me, due to it been Ebay. He was more than thankful for me to reach out to him 1st, Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

me and my mate managed to do the faulty speedo, and what a pig of a job that was for us both. We had to practically cut down a alen key to next to nothing to access the bolt for it. We also re did a bracket for the rear brake line and hand brake, and had a look at why the bolt on the rear damper was moving. We managed to tighten it again, but i need another bolt for it. While i had the car back, i managed to sort out the handbrake, ready for the MOT, which it flew threw!
so its just a case now of getting the time to get my replacement wheels in for a refurb and new tyres on. So its going to be sitting back on 306 alloys again in stead of 405 alloys, but a bearing is failing on the pass side. i might get my mate again to help with that, he has the gear.

Years ago i fitted a auto anti dazzle mirror, from a Peugeot 406, bought it off a mate who was selling up at the time. He hardwired the loom into the car for me. Anyway, looks like its burnt itself out, but that was down to the wiring rubbing threw sadly.
So when i saw another unit on Ebay i snapped it up, this time it has the proper housing, so it was just a case of been gentle on removing the old unit, and swopping it over. I had to cut the connector and adapt it to the car. burnt mirror out. Click image to enlarge replacement one and prepped Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge So another little repair sorted out, just wanting to push for this milestone with the wheels and tyres for god sake. I might look at the head lights, as they seem very poor, no matter what bulbs i put in, it might be an earth needing a clean, or LEDS fitting as most new cars now have them, but the MOT tester might say something!
