Thread: My 90 has arrived and is Registered

    Smile My 90 has arrived and is Registered

    Well the 90 arrived for QLD and is now registered in WA. Pits inspection was fine, the only problem was with dealing with Dept of Transport and getting in registered here. They had no idea what was needed and it took 3 trips to the centre in order to get the paper work through.
    Anyway i will post some picks soon but until then i have a few quick questions...

    1. I want to remove the standard nudge bar. Looks like it is held on by 4 bolts. The 2 vertical bolts look pretty hard to get at. Does anyone know if the is a nut on these bolts because i cant seem to see one. From what i hear, it being a Land Rover i might need to take apart the whole front and in order to get the bolts out!

    2. I like the look of the new pumas with LAND ROVER written on the front of the bonnet. I have seen picks of older td5s with the same written across the front just above the defender badge. Were do people get these from? Is in a whole new bonnet or can they be stuck on?

    Thanks in advance.

    Can't help with the nudge bar except to say that the two vertical bolts on the standard bumper are into a captive plate. They are easier to get at if the grill is removed.

    As for the lettering have a look at eBay.

    Thanks for that. Just ordered a set on ebay.
    Captive plate? Is that someting that the bolt screws into or is there a nut welded stuck in there.

    Do all defenders aircon blow really hard out of the passengers vents and hardly any from the drivers? I assume the motor is on the passenger side so that might be the reason for it? Mine certainly does!

    Shouldn't do.

    Blockage? Badger in the pipe?
