Help! - I have a leaking core plug in my Disco 2 with TD5 engine - It is the one on the right of the block to the rear of the alternator but in front of the engine mounting - Willing to pay a fair price to any Landy expert out there in the Kent or surrounding area?

Ok Ta - Looking like the broken option -Leave well alone or replace it? hohum...

I managed to bleed it on the starter, and seems to be ok now - I would still be interested on feedback on the primer handle - feels like perhaps its broken internally or similar - Would be easier to do it with that as you need a second person to crank it while you bleed otherwise and I don't...

Hi! 19J engine on 90 model - Changed fuel filter, everything working fine up to that point, filled filter and fitted - tried to start and ran for 2 secs then stopped. Started to go through priming process and could not get priming lever to pump, it moves but no resistance. Blipped engine a few...

Didn't seem to make any difference - However, what is noticeable is that if I start it and immediately pull away the smoke stops straight away - whereas if I leave it standing and ticking over it does it for several minutes - anyone else had this?

Hello, Understood LOL, however, this is quite a bit for way too long. I don't appear to be losing oil so wonder if this could be diesel - its def blue, not black but does smell of diesel rather than oil too. I noticed today going down long hil'sl on overun that it does the same chuffing blue...

Hi there, My 90 2.5td starts fine, but blue smoke's a cloud and runs a bit rough for about 10 seconds - then it all evens out and runs fine except for the odd slight misfire and when it does that hiccup misfire the exhaust puts out a small chuff of blue smoke. If you drive off straight away a...

Mine is a Defender with the same issue - Is this remedy for real as it looks like that is what it needs. Door flush at lock level, top of door frame leans away from cab. If this is for real, presumably put the window down 1st? Old thread, but thats what searches are for I guess! Many Thanks

Many thanks - Some great info here - Ta

Its a Ninety, 1989 model swb 2.5td - I'll try Ebay Thanks

Yes, I did look - Nothing like you're reply though. I have the Haynes 3017 manual - Ideal for fixing I expect, useless for explaining how to use the hi lo diff stuff (yes, I could search but I give this as an example only...) amongst other things.:)

Hello, Thanks. Yes, it is good for that no problem - sounds like it is working then. It doesn't have a great deal of guts up hills, need to cog down etc - It has done 120k so I suppose its entitled to wheeze a bit. I'll change the air filter and oil's and see if it helps out a bit. I...

I've searched, honest I have - but cannot find anything on an owners manual for a Ninety. Thing is, I've lots of questions since obtaining mine, most of which are going to be in the manual - Tyre Pressures, Oil to use in where, Grease points, interior light switch location (may have found it...

Hi, Just purchased a 2.5td Ninety. Not had any previous experience of driving one and not sure what I should expect. Any Turbo'd vehicle I've driven before gives at least a bit of a tug when the turbo spools up - I can'y say I notice any difference throughout the rev range. That said, it gets...

Jeesus - I've got a list of bits for my Ninety, looks like a Plughole and ubend might be in order...

New to this and hope I've bought ok - A Ninety on a G Plate. Accumulating bits as I go and finding out that deep pockets may be in order here...

Hi, Full set wheel nuts? Thanks

Ok thanks - They look similar (Ninety and Defender) but what are the significant differences from an 1989 Ninety and a 1990 Defender please? Is it just interior trim and engine or are there driveline or suspension differences. Is a Ninety more like a 3 series mechanically or a Defender?

Hi, I've searched and found some threads re this issue but all seem to relate to the slightly later Defender 90 to my 1989 Model 90. Will the Castor Alloys fit on early 90 without spacers? Also, how is the 89 model 90 referred to - is it a Defender or a Series 3 - or is it some sort of...
