Really the only way to check the impeller is to take off the pump and ave a look. Then you might as well put a new one on as you got that far

Yeah good point on the oil. EP90 goes in the transfer and poss axles (cant remember that one) and def atf in gearbox....OOPS

wow 2 threads for same prob havent seen that before............The test fluid is the best idea if you cant get a garage to help

If all other hoses are hot and gauge is working then my first steps would be either air lock (has any work been done lately or any leaks?), if all else is hot I would think the pump is moving the water. Next step for me would be headgasket. Are the hoses getting pressurised quickly?

Sounds like its new gearbox time.

None of the hoses will get hot, engine will overheat but the temp gauge will not necessarily move.(It depends where the sensor is). There will be no way for the water to move around the system. If there is doubt I wouldn`t use the car until a new one is fitted

If you put where you are then someone might be able to help.

They are that. Hoping to make it over for the ocean race in june. Missed it last time and heard it was great.

Any news on the engine swop???? I`m hunting for the ever elusive discovery 200 right now

Where abouts in Galway are ya? My wife is from the claddagh so over as much as poss

Isnt it 30 years and older. So an early 90 with coil suspension. Then stick in a 200tdi engine.

I know it cant work......Taking the pish :fighting2:

Would sound great though going down the road. Boy racers look out

Had something like this on mine. Was there any vibration through the footbrake before hand? I sorted mine by sanding the edges off the new shoes and ruffing up the surface of the shoe. failed the mot then after I did this it flew through

Hunting for a scrappy disco at the mo. Mines quite smokey.

Not sure about improving a 19j but easy to improve the landrover by getting that engine as far away from it as poss. The hole is a bit of well thought/forward thinking by landrover

RE 200tdi conversion: The general way to go is buy a rotten discovery, remove everything engine wise and transplant in to 90. There are loads and loads of threads on here. RE pipe from filler cap: I had a longer hose the right size in the garage so used that from the filler cap to a drain...

It sounds like the turbo is ok. The oil in the turbo is more than likely coming from the breather that comes from the oil filler cap (which you said is coming off. Breathing heavy) to the air filter pipe. Did the air filter box have oil the bottom? ( bet ya it did). All this is very common with...

Thats my thought as well. Might bid anyway cos he started them at 99p with no reserve

Looking at getting some for the 90. Have seen some on fleabay and the seller says that all side steps are the same across the defender range ( 90, 110, 130, etc). Now surely the 90 ones will be shorter, wouldn`t they?
