Hi, I have a 200tdi and what I think is an LT77 (reverse up and left of 1st) The current selector is from a disco and sits to far back, can I find and replace just the selector part from a defender to move the levels forward or are they different? Many thanks

Hi, just started to look at this myself. Did you get anywhere with your conversion?

Thanks , so which brakes do we favour?

Thanks guys, I knew the shopping list would grow.

Its time for brakes that stop not squeal and suspension that damps rather than bounces. I have a 1972 classic and the front brake calipers have seized and warn the discs, the rears are getting low. I plan to replace the front calipers and dics/pads all round. I'm assuming Britpart bits...

Interesting reading .... Off to chat to the seller. :crutch: Thanks for the heads up!

I'm off to look at another donor that has a tuned engine so my 200tdi may be available soon, I'll let you know.

When a cars as old as this ... pre 72 i believe ... the road tax is a whopping £0 per year. Didn't stop the lady in the post office asking if I wanted 6 or 12 months !

Thanks - looks like it out with the multi meter again. The fuel gauge seemed to work but did drop to 1/4 full faster than I expected and when I filled up it only took £20. The tank must be bigger than that. A few days later it packed up.

Simple question, which should I get? The landy will get a few chances to play off road, and with my skills is bound to spend more time stuck than driving :bump2: Generally it will be used around my bit of land while cutting trees and doing general maintenance. If I fit hydraulics, can I...

I have seen several tubular bumpers that sit higher that the chassis rails, the nicest seem to have the ends angled up. Are these available or are they modified. I will be fitting a full size inter cooler at some time but do not have air-con. Approach angle is not key but I want to keep...

While correcting many of my new toys little quirks ... (like light do the opposite to the stalk) ... I must have knocked some of the quality wiring. Being a hybrid and on it xx rebuild, the electrics could have come from anywhere. Started a 2 1/4 petrol 88", new chassis and loopy 4.6 v8 with...

Hi everyone, Just entering my fifth week of Land Rover ownership. So far, I have picked up a 100" hybrid after many hours even years of reading and research. It was one of those fate moments ... having just decided to delete my ebay search for a hybrid ... just one more run ... and there...

Big day for the Landy. It's a 100" hybrid, 200tdi truck cab defender. It's been mechanically well put together but suffers from electrical gremlins. New set of boost alloys and 265/75/16's Maletesta's. CB installed and setup. Pre heat relay wired in. Horns installed. General wiring fixes.
