PEARLS OF WISD Clingfilm worked!

Progress made - with a couple of minor mods! Now to see if the seat cover goes on OK! Thanks for the replies...

Yes, common enough. I did that very job for a mate some years ago. Also many have had drum brake rear axle replaced with later disc brake axle. Box of chocolates as Forrest said.:):)

You can't rely on the axles being correct for that year, my son's Ninety has a Disco 1 front axle I do believe.

My bet is the engine was replaced much later, Discovery only came on the market in 89 ish. Mine is a 1990 Ninety with 200 fitted in the naughty's. Last year recovered the center seat and had to use later type cover. It can be a bit of a fight to...

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.

If you can get the tank down to half, siphon and stick dip while you have sender out and then trial fit sender bending the arm to get gauge to read about right. Probably the best you will get.

Divide 250ft/pounds by your weight in pounds which will give to the length of bar in feet to stand on , if bar a bit longer just use tape to measure length where to stand Maybe do the final torque over the 210 when you know everything works and...

Well on would hope check would be done. I had similar issue with a tractor some years ago when adjustment was not done.

That is pretty much the way I have done it.

Possible there was no free play at clutch master cylinder rod, the result is like someone riding the clutch pedal all the time . Clutch does not fully engage and so slips some and will wear out quick.

Rocker cover center stud fixes into the rocker shaft block. If this the case then you need a replacement or a thread repair to sort.

I shall brake and clutch fluid the engine down today , after a drive tomorrow I shall add photos to this thread .

The lift pump runs off a cam on the cam shaft, nothing to to with belts or idler pully.

I have done the same you Simon on my Ford Focus 1800tdci, bulb makes bleeding after filter change a doddle as before it was a nightmare job. John.

The quality of everything is getting worse. That's not a cynical opinion, it's a fact documented by consumer watchdogs, vloggers, bloggers, and the media. So it wouldn't surprise me if the quality of modern diesel pumps is now crap. So no diesel...

No.

Think you will have to stay with the 9.5 due to flywheel location pins. With old landy's one often just does not know what others have done in the past. 2a diesel models do have 9.5 unit.

I have used Britpart OEM ones 9 years ago and still going strong, unlike the poly ones which lasted 1 week. You buy the standard cheap Britpart ones and they are only any good if you are selling it.

Two each their own, but I still like old method of paper gasket smeared with grease. Next time something gets opened up someone will not be struggling to clean off silicone like I recently did with 230 I sorted last year. If you do use silicone...

Rubbish parts then. I keep a spare rebushed panhard rod ready for a quick change.

Were the duff bush's poly type or metalastic type. Six month's is a short time for any type. There sure are some poor quality parts about these days.

When up to working temp the thermostat opens to allow coolant to rad. Most will have a thermostat that opens at 88 degrees so your reading there and on the top hose should be somewhere near that. Top of rad close and the lower down the rad face...

You can check your engine temp with a hand held IR temp reader, aim at thermostat housing, top hose and radiator just after you have stopped.

Look on fleabay. Are yours the same size as the LR standard bracket?

Alright Guys, If you read my introduce me post, this is the burnt out D2… All my fault. I had a lapse in what I normally would do, I left a dirty greasy rag on the rear drivers axle and it caught fire from a bit of glue that was on fire from...

No chance, mine was used on the Ark, plenty to choose from on the ebay just pick one with a tapered nose.

I have a plier type rivet tool that has a smaller head than my lazy tongs.

An easy way to gain access is to release bonnet stay and lean bonnet back against screen, support with a long stick for safety. As I remember the 19j filter is the old type that does not unscrew. A bolt on the top/middle part of housing goes...
