Evening all, I know the topic of sound proofing has been covered a million times. But my 200 tdi 90 csw came with exterior bulkhead sound proofing from factory. I'm currently in the process of a full original spec nut and bolt resto. And everything is genuine, my defender has only ever been...

Anyone?

Afternoon all, Just a quick random question. Does anyone know what the internal diameter of the front sunroof drain tubes are? And how long they should be? It seem that mine have been cut short in the A pillar for some reason, they only go a quarter of the way down the A pillar? Therefore...

Didn't know they did a splined type. I will have to wait and see if it holds up. As you say, there's not much torque going through the shaft anyway. If it does strip I'm sure I can make a new one up. I want to find a rubber boot/gaiter I can put over the slider, that way I can pack more grease in.

Thanks for looking. I'm going to try some thicker oil first and see if that cures it. I like your extended breather on the gear housing. That's a very good idea, not thought of that. Might have to steal that idea! One last technical question (last one I promise). How much slop/play is there in...

Where did you get your clevis hook from? What is it rated to? Sorry for all the questions

It doesn't look like a screw If you look at the finned casing of the winch on the right hand side as you look at it. In the middle of the side face of that there is a circular piece (about 1.5" diameter) in the centre with 2 6mm holes on. Apparently this is a bearing adjustment screw? I've...

That might be the way forward on the lubrication side. I had thought about using gx90 / 140 to try and stop the leek. Mine is weeping from the centre on the finned case on the right hand side of the winch as you look at it. I belive it is the "bearing adjusting screw" but it won't turn, so just...

Thanks for your help. The bracket I made was only 65mm from chassis to hole centre. I thought it looked a bit short. I've made up another tonight at 95mm. To be fair it looks better. Thanks for your help By a push to kill button. Do you mean an electrical kill switch to cut out the engine...

Sorry to bring up a really old thread. But for some reason I can't send a pm on my phone? Anyway. I've just finished installing my pto winch on my tdi 90. I just have the steering damper lowering bracket to fabricate. But I can't find anywhere on how long it should be? Lynall I don't suppose you...

Thanks sierrafery. I will give that a try and let you know what happens. Do you know of anyone in the Sheffield / peak District area that has a hawkeye / lynx or anything else apart from nanocom that I can borrow in exchange for beer tokens? To try and work out what the issue is Thanks

Hello, My disco 2 (TD5 2001) has had the amber ACE light on for quite a while now. I’ve got a couple of weeks off work, so would like to get the issue sorted. I’ve done some searching about but no one else seems to have the same issue. Basically, the light goes out when the disco is started...

Evening all, Im just coming to the point of re-piping my 200 Tdi 90, after a full rebuild. Stupidly i did not take any photos of the brake pipe layout. So im a bit confused as what goes where, and its been a good 6 months since i took them off. Right, so heres what i need to know. And if...

searched Wow, well maybe waiting to send my doors was the right move. Thanks for pointing me the right direction. Will have to have a bash at repairing my doors myself then. Thanks

Evening all, Just a quick one. Does anyone know whats happened to the business Landiman in Crediton Devon? He used to advertise on ebay alot, selling panels, defender parts and door repairs. this is the reason i am asking, i rang them a month ago about sending my doors for repair, not a...
