Anyone?

Has anyone got a half decent set of wheels and tyres to fit a series lll, Not really fussed about tyre size,or condition of wheels as long as there road legal and will fit.The ones Ive currently got fitted have plenty of tread but severe side wall cracking,which Im guessing isnt legal? Am I...

cheers mate much appreciated will check this out tomorrow:D

Thanks for the advice,,where am I to look for the Ecu/Injector harness and I'll be sure to check it out on thursday:rolleyes:

The one im thinking of buying has roughly 68k on the clock,,gonna go and have a proper look round it on Thursday morning,,they also have a 2003 disco td5 forsale with lower miles on the clock for less but to be honest my hearts set on the 110. Ive been looking through the net trying to find the...

Thanks for the advice guys,,To be honest Im unsure what to do,,My current 19j has been 100% reliable considering what ive read on this engine,but to be honest a little slow for the driving I do,,My only fear is I get rid of this and buy the td5 and have nothing but problems and thats especially...

Ive read this somewhere before and this is my main worry,,not been able to fix it myself unlike the old 19j? any other things to look out for? Would also be interested to hear how many miles you defender td5 owners have clocked up with this engine without problems? thanks for your response

Some of you may of read my previous topic, about me considering buying the 1985 110 with an Isuzu 2.8td engine fitted,Unfortunately I cant get an insurance company to touch it with the engine swap so Ive discarded that idea.The same company has a Y reg 110 double cab TD5 with 68k on the clock...

See this is the problem,,The company that has professionally done this conversion is a land rover specialists so its all been done to a high standard but they havnt altered the V5 with the DVLA.So the vehicles still registered as a V8 so therefor when the insurance company's put the...

They were the only ones willing to quote.But unfortunately came back to me with a price for £1093:eek: fully comp, but they told me If I took the cover out I wouldn't be covered to drive other vehicles with this insurance like you normally would be with any other fully comp plan.Im currently...

Been ringing round insurance company's all morning even tried suretem direct but none seem intrested to insure this vehicle as its been replaced with an engine from a different manufacturer.They quote a couple of hundred quid fully comp for the vehicle with the original V8 fitted,but they dont...

I actually made a mistake in the topic heading,,its a 1985 model.Overall I was quite impressed with the vehicle,The engine started in half of turn with no heat to the glow plugs and there was no smoke on start up(unlike my current 90 with the 19j engine).Im just looking about for insurance as...

Just been to see a very tidy 110 county today which was originally a V8 and owned by a local estate,the V8 only had 35,000 miles on it but the company selling it has took it out and fitted a 2.8td isuzu engine(landrover test engine im told) in its place with 55,000 miles on the clock.Im just...

Cheers mate,,,Would be deffinently interested.Did you just replace yours with a brand new one? Do you no anyone who has successfully replaced the seals on there PAS pump.Unsure which route to go down at the moment~~I was hoping there would be a few on here that had carried out this task...

Since owning my 90 its always leaked fluid from the PAS pump,,Its not a major leak ( I top it off every month or so) would like to have a go at stopping this leak for good.Ive got a seal kit lying round in the garage somewhere for it,,just wondering if its worth having a go at replacing it or...

How would I go about turning the turbo back slightly??Cant find anything in the haynes,,can you please enlighten me....Thanks

Great to see theres still a few 19j's going strong,,so not all bad.As mentioned in my first post,i cant really fault myn,maybe a little bit on the thirsty side when driving around town but that doesn't really bother me,its never let me down(yet) ,hopefully she'll hang on in there for a...

I have the 265's on my 90 cant really fault them,,done around 1300 miles, 65% of them on the road and they dont seem to have warn at all,although my 90 sounds like an aeroplane taking off at around 50mph,look a million times better than 205's.

229K Is fantastic mileage,,,Myns a 87 model and im only the second owner from new,its just clocked up 90k yesterday ive thought once or twice about the 200tdi conversion but think ill just hang fire and see how long the 19j lasts me.hopefully in this time the price of a 200tdi engine may have...

Just wondering how many people of this forum have the 19j engine fitted to there 90/110's and what you think of them in general and how many miles have you clocked up with this engine??Browsing the net there seems to be mixed opinions on this engine (mostly bad)and its reliability?I currently...
