    Main Beam Headlight

    Probably an earth problem. Find where the earth wires are connected to the body (probably the front panel) and clean the connections.

    7.50 tyres/range rover diff combo

    Hi everybody I am currently running 7.50 tyres on my 88" series 3 (2.5TD engine). I have been offered a pair of range rover 10 spline diffs. Has anybody used this combo? Does it make the gearing too tall?

    lights on lights off...

    sounds like an earth fault to me, i had a beetle where the lights would only work on high (the other way around i know), turned out to be a rusty earth.

    2.5TD Alternator belt change

    Haynes manual tells you but anyway: Remove power steering pump belt Slacken alternator mounting bolts and pivot alternator Remove alternator drive belt Reffitting is the reverse of this procedure but make sure you tension the belts correctly. Easy!!!

    Lt77 In A Series...

    i think you have to use a series transfer box which requires an expensive adaptor plate (see ashcroft transmissions).

    Don't get me started...

    Make sure the connections on the coil are good, i had a dodgy one before and my engine would not start and when it did it just cut out.

    Fuel injector

    I work in the development of fuel injection systems, DO NOT attempt to adjust the injector in any way as you will render it useless. As cabbie says clean it all up and fit new copper washers.

    Choke Cable

    that should be enough. the choke cable should be stiff enough for you to steer it through the maze of wiring.

    Choke Cable

    in that case you might have to pull the instruments forwards so you can see where you are threading it

    Choke Cable

    just gaffa tape some wire to the old one and pull out. Then use the wire to guide the new one through the wiring and the bulkhead grommet

    200TDI prices

    not sure if it's the only difference but the discovery has the turbo under the exhaust manifold so you have to use a special pipe for the exhaust. Defender has the turbo on top. Just picked up a defender engine for under £300!
