Hi all, Im just having a look at my injectors & its taken me more than an hour to get the washer(S) :eek: out of the 1st injector hole (the one at the front) It had 2 washers wtf! - the 1st was twice the thickness of a normal washer and was on top of the original washer !!! The bottom one was...

thanks for the info

Thanks for your reply - do you think that the bosch ones would be any good? I think POS posted somewhere that the bosch ones were made in india or somewhere exotic - what that means in relation to quality I coudln't say as i have little experience of such things (probably soon find out!)

Dont mean to detract from the thread (sorry) - just a quick question Lynall were these the injectors that you got from ebay? DEFENDER 90 2.5 200 TDI NEW INJECTOR NOZZLES SET OF 4 | eBay

The current engine offering they have in the defender is the 2.2 ford transit engine - with a lot of electronic gadgetry to get it to perform efficiently meeting eu regs. Q - is it not possible to have/create a deisel engine that performs efficiently meeting these EU regs without the...

Agreed - td5 possibly not :doh: but seen a lot of 300tdi's on ebay for less than that! but as you say probably not the best 300tdi.

you could get one for 2k and spend the 1k getting in to shape. Then you know what youve got! also depends what you want 200tdi, 300tdi or a td5?

Hi - there is no spacer on mine at the moment - the lift pump sitting flush on the plate. looking at the OE defender parts list pdf on page 101 there appears to be a spacer would that be for earlier models like the TD? As I said the one I purchased definately has a longer arm with less of an...

bought a fuel lift pump from 4x4landroverparts.co.uk part No: ETC7869 link ETC7869 tried to fit it yesterday but wouldnt sit right. took the old one off dipped in deisel and cleaned it up and compared the two and on the new one the arm that sits on the cam is slightly different length and the...

200tdi 180k and a pair of earmuffs :)

yes - thanks for reminding me - Ive read posts on the web re: oriental fake injectors and the feedback is iffy on the injectors (btw just realised they are the nozzles) I might ask pos what the spec/part No: for his replacement italian made nozzles were as mine should be the same being an H reg...

heres some pics of the defender as you can see its got plenty scuffs and dents. slowly im gonna clean it up and respray with tecaloid coach enamel so the new dents scuffs etc will be mine. cant find anything local to match the green paint currently on it anyone know if this is brionze...

when I did mine last week I chocked the wheels at the opposite end I was working on, also had it in difflock and in gear - and for the front jacked up under the diff and got the axle stands under the chassis frames just behind the front outriggers, then moved the trolley jack to the chassis...

lol going to take photos soon - honest - got to say it looks pretty standard - the standard britpart suspension though still looks high compared to other defenders that i pull up against and i asked at paddock if it was standard before I ordered ! - also higher at the back and (theres more)...

Yes - sorry about the reading length ! the steels are 5.5 x 16 x 33 so guess that it would be better to get the correct size steels.

got my 110 about a month ago now and done a fair bit to it. It had a 2" lift so i replaced with standard britpart springs and shocks. On the old suspension I used to get a vibrating noise in 5th when my foot lifted off the accelerator but now the suspension has been changed hte vibration has...

the spare tyre rim looks buckled, but the bodywork and interior looks good from what i can see. what does it drive like if you dared to venture out without mot?

lol - (my new to me) defender leaks in many places - doesnt bother me as long as the seat is dry when I get in :) I get a lot of driving rain where I live which is handy in the defender :)

keep my new spare tyres above my belt - hairy tread though, good in winter:)
