Great stuff - I've got bolted in high back buckets and it's been over 11 years since I fitted them and didn't remember that there's an access panel under there. Thanks. For the lift pump - would a problem here only affect low speed power and not throughout the range, or is it just less...

Can I access this in situ or do I need to drop the tank - I put a new tank in about 4 years ago but kept original pipes and bits and recall it was a pain the **** to get in and out :eek: OK will do - is this checked by manual pumping or turning the engine over by the ignition switch? Why would...

Yes revs drop off and it struggles to pull. How do I check the lift pump, stack pipe (what is a stack pipe), etc. - I'm pretty mechanically minded but have very little experience on diesels and even less on the 200tdi - thanks for your help. I have a fluctuating tank gauge/level indicator but...

Just done a shed load more research and: a) doubt it's the clutch as no high gear slipping b) possible "lift pump" c) even more confused than before ????????????????

Hello all, Land Rover 90 from 1986 with a 200Tdi engine. On pulling a heavyish trailer up an incline (two jetskis on trailer partly submerged pulling up the launch ramp) from stop I struggle and it's stalled on me a couple of times - seems to be a real lack of power getting to the wheels :eek...

Changed the main earth lead yesterday and also put on a new battery terminal for the +ve. Started the car 5 times today no probs - nice and fast cranking but the 6th time back to slow cranking - will call DFS in the morning to see what they suggest.

Thanks for the reply :clap2: I had the same result (or lack of) with the old battery so am pretty certain that the battery is not faulty (also the motor factors checked the new battery whilst in situ in order to give me the 2 year warrantee). I'll try checking the voltage across the battery...

Land Rover 90 from 1986 with a 200Tdi engine. Had a "sticking" starter motor and eventually got fed up with hitting it with a hammer to release it. So I ordered a new one from DLS and fitted it. Virtually the same as the old one except it doesn't have the connection for the "additional"...
