Set ordered and money saved. Thanks gor the link to identify them.

Not sure why you're struggling on this. Do you understand automotive electrics? This is very straight forward, if no 12v to switch input it's either 1. No 12v to fuse, 2. The fuse, 3. The power cable from fuse to switch. Have you tested for 12v...

Yes. I have not had a problem with them yet.

@Windy scotland , no idea as to why there's such a big difference in price but it'd be worth cross referencing seat belt types and the different mounting points between model years...they're not all the same...

Discuss what ? That you are a tight Scotsman ? :vb-drinky:

@dag019 , thank you...I misread the OP's post. Of course, OP could update to a std Tdi exhaust, manifold to tailpipe if his wallet permits ;)

That is not the setup for a TD exhaust. The TD does not use rubber hangers. It uses old fashioned u-bolts around the exhaust and then a bolt with rubber bushes. OP says he is still using the original exhaust which is the same setup I have on my...

As everyone has said - off road only. Tends to rip the ground up too. Next to no grip in the wet on tarmac. Often these are re-treads. £450 seems a bit expensive.

You're needing part #3 in the diagram https://www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams/land-rover-defender-exhaust-systems/exhaust-diesel/rear_53423

We have near identical set up. Here's mine, a 1987 200Tdi with LT77 and 200Tdi exhaust system. The first bracket is located same as yours [see top left of photo']. The bracket/location is correct and are readily available.

Mikalor hose clamps?

Inlet and intercooler pipe painted. Hopefully will fit at the weekend.

Drove to Greys Court, Rotherfield Greys, for a Landy picnic and a real good tour of the house and the splendid gardens and grounds...and even under near constant drizzle, Greys Court is a fascinating place. It was our very first visit despite...

Copy'n'paste. These new fangled computery things are great. :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut,_copy,_and_paste

Can not find video either. :confused: Have a look at www.injectionpumps.co.uk There is a section on DPS pumps. I have used them for spares. May help.

Bolts that compress two parts together that are subject to repeated and often changes of temperatue will loosen over time, You torque them up and they don't last, unless you 'stretch' the bolt so that the bolt itself is under tension whilst it...

How long did that lot take to write?

They are horribly complex things ... which I guess is why I (and others) suggested you sent it to an expert (Diesel Bob for example).
