i never realised that rover had the exact same engine in their cars and freelander marketed as the L series diesel, its odd they ran a timing belt on those engines instead of a chain and or gearing.

....as I am finding out - the hard way. 😂 Any examples of other differences I should be aware of, going forward.....? Yes, it's got a Discovery 200Tdi fitted (don't know when - '89 maybe?). Someone seems to have been very creative with...

T5 Volvo engine 🤗

Gotcha. I may still be able make them fit though - 😂

Welcome to LZ. I would be wary of over gearing it as you could end up with a 4 speed car as fifth will be unusable on anything that resembles a hill. Considered an overdrive? On the other hand ear plugs are dirt cheap.

I have a Defender 90 200 TDI with an LT77 and a 1.4 LT230. I enjoy travelling with it (camping etc) however especially when driving on the highway I feel that it revs too much to the point that it gives me a headache. I'm definitely consider...

Firefox has been a bust. As soon as I tried to open a new tab on it it said "enter the URL or search with Google" at which point LZ would no longer open. And I couldn't get it to function properly anyway so I have deleted it. So I am back on the...

I was on outlook before, I think, and had such problems with it that some female from BT put me onto Mozilla Thunderbird, which has worked very well until a few days ago. I have decided that I will get my noo pooter out and open up an email...

...that in a surprise turn of events my wife was called by the medical examiner about her mum's "cause of death". He is unhappy about the state of the old gal and how come she walked into hosp with just a septic leg wound but died with sepsis and...

As above, yours is not Defender it is a Land Rover Ninety or One Ten. Your 200tdi engine is a later replacement for original engine. There are a number of differences with 83 to 86 trucks from later models.

Yeah, I've been asked if I'd sell mine by a couple of eastern Europeans I know over the years to do exactly that. Apparently it's a "relatively" straight forward conversion.

Sump off cleaned, primed sanded and painted. Water pump looks and spins as new so cleaned it up along with the timing case and rocker cover, oh how I do like a bit of bling

Lazy day in the office, despite being pebble dashed in old engine oil, oh ye! Forgot that I hadn’t drained the oil out of the engine before taking the flipping sump off. Despise knocking the sump with the 13mm socket before starting it bloody...

Much jealousy of the grey miracles

An unintentional 275. Never Mind 😵‍💫

You don't have a Defender though, maybe the early seats are different in some way?

Story of my aircon life that is

Here are some pics of where I've got to. There's a picture of one (of 2) metal tab, which I don't think is going to help me much....

Defender 90, 1986 200TDi Hi all Thought I'd spend the evening fitting new Britpart seat covers to my Defender 90 seats. Watched the video and got stuck in, only to quickly realise that the guy in the video has not got the same seats as I have...

Found a groupon offer for aircon recharge at ats. £43 summit. System empty, which I knew, now nice and cold again but it won't last unless the leak that nobody can find has fixed it self.

The oil cooler went on mine a few years ago too. I don't think it's one of the coolers though as it really doesn't appear like there is any oil in the coolant. My slight worry is combustion stuff obviously. There is a dark residue in the bottom...

@doriz I normally find landrovers here But this was on https://m.facebook.com/groups/138796726689167/

Sorry mate first pics passenger side as good as my 09

Appears to be all drivers side removed passenger side trim, cill all good outer and inner, when all along underside with a dolly hammer in fact as good as they get, brakes pipes seem ok so far but once jacked up can see better but to be honest...

The tractor runs I do tend to be about 10mph. Which on my super is low third so works ok. But is a little fast for the friends fordson standard. A B275 is acceptable because it is not grey!

Don’t know 🤔 Always presumed they meant a bmw engine in an early FL2 6 cyl Volvo is more ME :vb-banana: liked the 5 cyl ones also
