Thanks for confirming. Guess I'll be on the lookout for a decent 200tdi lump :)

Is it a straight bolt on? How much would I be looking to pay for a 200tdi? Thank you for the help

Yep..i should have researched etc before. But I got taken a back by the amazing shape of the rest of the vehicle

Oh I see! My mistake. Thank you then :)

See above photos. Top is injectors and bottom is of course the turbo. Injector 4 (front of engine) seems to have a fair bit of leaky diesel. Is this an issue? How do I rectify? Turbo seems to have a lot of oil down the pipe going down (can't remember but think it goes to the top of the air...

Thanks both. It's just in the middle. Like when the gear stick (in a normal car with a vertical stick, not the defenders 5mile snake gearstick) is in neutral.

Ah OK thanks. I thought it needed to be back and to the right (towards the driver) for normal road use? And the position I have it in is for PTO diagnosis?

Thanks for the great response. Yes it's a 200tdi. I have heard a lot about fuel lift pump and I might just replace it. Better than it going when I'm out and about. Any ideas with respect to the diff locker being in neutral? Thanks again.

Hello all, I picked up a new to me 1990 defender 90 with 110k miles on. Its overall in very good nick with previous owner doing only a few k miles per year over his 7 year ownership. I drove it home (about 5 miles) and it topped out at 50. Albeit up a 3% to 4% gradient. There was a bit of...

Do you have a link to the stuff you used Papasmurf?

Hmm. I see. I might do seat boxes and footwells first and go as high up the bulkhead as I can from the inside. Thank you both.

Thanks. Would I need to remove the dash to do the bulkhead?

Hello Over the course of ownership I intend to fully dynamat the Def 90, but initially don't have £300 to do the full car. Where am I best placing some (£60 or so worth) for initial results? Thanks

Haha - it will. I'll be a relative newby for years to come i'm sure.

Looks good. Are you doing a full restoration? Or just a rolling one and use at the same time?

No, I'm not available on mail order... ...I mean Defender virginity. Wanted one for a while now, and with the purchase of a house project and a growing collection of mountain bikes, it finally makes sense. So, hi. If you know of a 90 for sale with an MOT (and a bit of a project) in/around...
