    Hi Dippypud, They were removed from a Disco 1 300TDI, the only mod was installing a short bell-housing. Many thanks!

    200 TDI intercooler upgrade

    Thanks for the response everyone, I have been toying with the idea of getting a front mounted intercooler with a full frame sized radiator at the back of it like the TD5's have. The problem is that I can't find a kit that has both the intercooler and radiator supplied and would I need a frame...

    200 TDI intercooler upgrade

    Hi there, As the title suggests, I am looking to upgrade the intercooler on my 200 TDI. I have just fitted a boost pin and quickly realised I'm not running at capacity because my old intercooler is more of a wind shield than anything of purpose. I'm looking to upgrade to a double depth 116mm...

    Defender wing indicator cuts out all other indicators

    Thank you very much for the replies, I'll have a look at them over the weekend and let you all know how I get on. I still can't quite get my head around why it's doing it, but perhaps it will explain itself the further I dig. In response to lightning: I understand your argument but these...

    Defender wing indicator cuts out all other indicators

    Hi Mick, thanks for the reply. The upgrade I did was behind the dash with an RDX earth kit. I will definitely look into your suggestion, where would I find the diode fix? I am trying to install some side sweep LEDs. What I can't understand is why normal bulbs work but these ones won't? Many...

    Hi there, Nope, currently nothing engages, it just exists as a standard drive, not sure what's going on with it.

    Discovery 1 diff lock hi and lo not working

    Hi there, I've got a Landrover 90 with a Discovery 200 TDI engine, transfer and gearbox. I've been having the problem whereby the Diff lock lights up on the dashboard binnacle but does not engage, at all. Am I looking at a dud transfer or is there something I'm missing... Many thanks!

    Where can I find a straight through exhaust pipe?

    Thanks for the response everyone, very grateful. I think I'll go down the road of altering it myself, might be a bit of a pain but at least I know what I'm getting. Thanks again!

    Where can I find a straight through exhaust pipe?

    I think they are stainless, just covered in oil more than likely ;) at least the silencers are, they've still remained shiny. I might compromise then and have it poking at the chassis, keep it well protected lol. I've just had a go at the chassis, jet wash and a bit of wire brushing here and...

    Where can I find a straight through exhaust pipe?

    The problem I have is knowing which one to get, because it might be a bespoke system, just need someone to verify that if it's possible. Thanks for the reply

    Where can I find a straight through exhaust pipe?

    It's a Defender, they should look rough and ready. On another note, it's already black so it shouldn't be a problem lol. Thanks for the reply.

    Where can I find a straight through exhaust pipe?

    Apologies, yes it is indeed a Ninety. Yes that's what I was concerned about, I was hoping that there was a possibility that only the middle and rear sections were bespoke, just wondered if anyone might be able to identify this. Many thanks for your response, I will certainly have a look. Ellis.

    Where can I find a straight through exhaust pipe?

    Hi guys, As the title says I'm after a straight through exhaust pipe to fit my C Reg Defender and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction (discovery 200tdi engine). I'm not sure what exhaust layout I have and wasn't prepared to take a gamble. It appears that I have three...

    Fog lights and relays, legal requirement?

    Ah, looks like I'm in the wrong then... Best get that changed, currently I have a C reg Defender with only a rear fog and it's linked up to an ignition live switch. However, when I turn my dip beam on it automatically turns my side lights on, I was under the impression that its standard on all...

    Fog lights and relays, legal requirement?

    Thanks Wimblowdriver, Just to clarify, it doesn't say specifically that it should be linked to headlights, so I'm all good?

    Fog lights and relays, legal requirement?

    Is it a legal requirement to have your fog lights hooked up to the headlights, currently mine are directed to an ignition live switch... After developing an earthing fault I figured it was an easy fix. Just not so sure how that sits with the MOT, can't find an answer online?
