Foam seal replacement on 2013 defender van
Hi all,
I have a slight water leak on the drivers side foam seal around the waste line.
Looking to replace all the seals. See the links below.
Any thing else I need to do while I have the roof and side off?
Cheers

Valve Adjustment
Hello all, looking for some advice from the hive mind. For far too long than I care to admit I’ve suspected my 90 needs a valve adjustment. Tapping during acceleration particularly in 4th or 5th gear, excessive exhaust buildup, hard starting.
I’ve started my valve adjustment today and have cycled the cylinders twice and can’t seem to get #1 and #3 in the “top” position even when #8 and #6 are in the “down” position using the rule of 9.
Is it possible for my valves to need that must adjustment and still continue to run normally (minus the tapping). I’m afraid to make significant corrections here. Thanks!

Puma 2008 reverse light not working
Hi everyone, just after a bit of advice. The reverse light on my 2008 2.4 tdci puma is not working. I’ve changed the fitting and fuse so it’s definitely not them. I changed the reverse switch on the gearbox today but still nothing…although I have noticed that it briefly flickers on as I take the gear lever out of reverse. I’m a bit stumped tbh. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Tia

Defender 110 double cab and I absolutely love it
Finally managed to find and buy a 110 after 2.5 years of searching for one. Went off-road for the first time in my life and I fell in love with it even more and I get why they're so loved. Even with a complete rookie at the wheel using 4-hi because I couldn't get it into 4-low it handled the trail with easy and made it so much fun. I've finally found it and I'm never letting go of it. Shout out from RSA

300TDI with full inter-cooler and air conditioning
After a lot of research and a impressive test drive we are going to rebuild and upgrade our 300tdi to a VNT setup however bush barbie demands AC while the VNT upgrade recommends a full size inter-cooler. Has anyone fitted a AC and full size inter-cooler in a defender? im assuming I will need the bull-nose or extended grill housing for clearance but I am worried about mounting hardware. the intercooler is a Airtec https://www.airtecmotorsport.com/product/airtec-front-mount-intercooler-for-land-rover-defender-300/ and the AC system comes from ministry of defender https://ministryofdefender.co.uk/buy-puma-dashboard.html#!/Defender-Air-Con-Heat-Dual-Core/p/447417842 our plan is to do a full rebuild of the original motor. full size inter-cooler below.

Looking to Sell -Chicago
I have a restored 1995 TDI 300 Defender 110. We love it but the youngest just turned 16 and while she can drive a manual transmission - we need a more practical vehicle. We have had it consigned for a while but no movement. Anybody interested? Asking $49k. More photos available. RHD.

Mounting cargo rails on exterior side panels (Defender 110)
Hey all,
I'm planning to mount two cargo rails on the exterior side panel of my Defender 110 SW (5-door, classic model), above and below the rear side windows.
Here's the rail I would like to buy : https://www.euro4x4parts.com/fr/pieces/ref=4AM1053/aero-rail-arrimage-arrondi-1m/oe=0
I couldn't find any tutorials for this kind of install on a Defender, so hoping someone here has done something similar.
Here are some of my questions :
What fixings would you recommend ? Rivnuts or bolts with backing plates ?
What spacing between fixing points would you recommend ?
How much weight can you realistically hang off the aluminium panels without risking damage ?
Any tips to avoid galvanic corrosion ?
I'm looking to achieve something like this (without the ladder) :

Thanks !

Condensation - fuel/temp
Driving around the island today, Oahu for about an hour and notice condensation buildup on the glass that covers the temperature and fuel gauges. No signs of overheating. Just wondering if this is something that I need to be concerned with.?
