    Cooking oil in TD5

    An update since my last post (Feb) & a nod to Shifty ;-) Back then I used to go round Morrisons & get 6x 3litre bottles of Veggie oil, pour it in the tank & drive 100 yards to the fuel pump & fill it up. Cheaper than pump prices but not by much, but a start. So I started making proper Bio...

    Defender doors

    Probably a silly question but... Will a 2008 Defender door fit my 1987 LR90? I've heard the door seals are on the bottom of the later doors as opposed to the tread plate. But would it fit? My doors are rotten & not just the bottoms. I could then practice my welding skills on the old...

    Help needed. leccy cooling fan

    Thanks 4 the quick reply Instant... I had it wired direct (no relay) using the X-eng fan stat as they said it could switch 17A. I thought that should be enough. Maybe it draws more on start.. Fuses last a good 15-30 seconds before spattering to infinity & beyond.... Started to wire in a...

    Help needed. leccy cooling fan

    Help guys. I remember reading on here about somebody fitting the Mondeo leccy fan to their Defender, but I can't find that thread now- dun a search :-( I've fitted a Mondeo fan from a mk3 1.8 petrol to mine & its gone in really tidy- looks OEM :-) But I can't get it to run without blowing...

    Temp senders

    Does anyone know what the thread sizes are on the water temp sender units on the 19J engine? PRC6663 & PRC2505 I know one is a coarse thread & the other is a fine thread. But are they NPT, BSP, Whit or some strange obscure non std pitch??? Thanks

    a trailer question

    Yer all right & thanks for the quick replies. The Nato ring is too thick. Someone told me they're 40mm thick. The throat on my combi hitch is 32mm- Not enough. So has anyone got one of these? Seen anyone else with one? Are they any good? Don't want a cheap inferior alternative to the Nato but...

    a trailer question

    Probably a silly one but... Is it ok to tow a Sankey trailer with a Pin hitch as opposed to a Nato hitch? I've got a combo hitch (Pin & ball) fitted to my 90. Thanks T
