Ahh right....so it is meant to be there then. Think I'm tempted to make a little bolt on cover panel out of ally though to keep the muck out. Already packed the mud shields off the foot-well thanks. Thought it seemed a good idea to do that. I also sealed up all the footwell seams with...

Yes, so on mine it is a standard wing but no hole for the exhaust (not required for the inboard exhaust), but looking at your photo you can see the chassis upright immediately behind the exhaust and the wing end bolts to the bottom of this. The standard mud shield that bolts to the foot-well...

Still sussing out what is missing from the box of bits i'm rebuilding. Should there be a gap at the back of my inner wing between the wing and the mud shield on Near Side? Looks like there should be a make-up piece similar to the steering box cover on the Off Side, but I haven't got one and...

Just wondered is it possible to refurbish/repair the ignition barrel/steering lock. The starter motor solenoid feed was showing no power on the switch terminal when I first came to try it, but after a lot of messing it sudeny started working. Worried it might fail again, so would like to...

Ok now I've got my engine running, I'm trying to bottom out what's left to get my landy on the road. I have the brakes all bled up and they seem firm, but need to assemble the vacuum system. I've been struggling to find pictures of how it all goes together. I've got a reservoir tank, and...

Pipes went on last night. Waited for fuel to seep from the injector threads and nipped them up. Cranked it for about 10 second or so a couple of times and then it spluttered into life. Job's a gud 'n'!

I had a spare pump that looked the grotiest out of the two. Took the fitted pump of last night and drove it with the spline by hand, nothing from the injector ports. Did the same with the spare (also been stood for years) and bubles of diesel where coming out of the ports. Hence it...

Like I said, I have bled the fuel through to those bleed screws, just cant get it to come out of the injector ports on the top.

How's that remedied then, simple pull it in bits and clean, or specialist rebuild?

As I said, I tried with the injector unions slackened from the start. There are no injector pipes on at all now and there's still no sign of fuel coming out on manual pump or cranking. But I have fuel at the bleed points on the filter and on distributor pump.:confused:

stop cable isn't set up yet, but lever is sprung down....which is for running right? stop cable would pul it up as far as I can see.

I'm hopefully just about getting my 2.25 Diesel series 3 completed after a rebuild starting from a million boxes of bits. I have a 5 bearing 2.25 which I've completely rebuilt as new, but just chucked the old pump/distributor on as was. I bled fuel through to the two distributor bleed points...

Cheers for that Will ad that to the to do list

Ok final question for the day:D Can the Handbrake lever be adjusted somehow to lift it of the deck and allow you to actually get hold of it without scratting around or do I need to wedge a wod of beer mats under it:mad:

Found that 2nd gear grates a bit if you change up/down too quick. You have to hesitate slightly as you push it back to avoid this. Just wear and tear on a 118k box or is there anything I can do bar some clean oil?

Is fluctuating tickover normal after startup on TD5. it's as though the ecu is continually adjusting the choke to sus out where best to set it. Engine runs fine when you drive off. I'm sure I've heard defenders running like this so am I right not to be concerned over it, or is something...

Think I'm looking to replace my 90 with a 110 but not sure about this change from from 2.4 to 2.2 engine? I had no bother with my 2.4, it pulled like a train with plenty pulling power. I've seen a few comments on the new engines, but has anybody actually got one yet after having a 2.4 Ie...

More questions! The temp guage on the motorway the other day went to half way and stuck there nice and solid. Just pottering round b roads for a couple of hours the day after it never got far from cold end, about 1/4 up Day after pottering round it was at 1/2 again? Due they tend to...

Ok I see its got a a cam chain, so I guess this last indefinately. Just the other Qs then tahh
