Hi Just put a 200Tdi into Ted. Stripped it down and rebuilt, got it in - tried to start it and it ran for about 3 seconds:) and wont start again:mad:. Fuel is getting to the injection pump, but I cant get fuel to the injectors. Have replaced the fuel solenoid but still no good. Is there anything...

Hi, Am looking to bolt 200Tdi disco engine to old 2.5NA clutch housing - but the 4 bolts on the ladder frame are missing on the 2.5NA. Is it OK to bolt up and forget the 4 bolts or do I have to drill and tap the old disco cover to fit - does it matter - it would be easier to just bolt up the...

Hi, Does anyone know how many studs hold the bellhousing onto the gearbox? I have removed everything I can find, including the 2 hidden below the starter motor and all the top ones and the engine will not split. I have removed half of the studs as well but it still wont budge - is there a...

Hi, Just a quick question - fitting a disco 200Tdi into a 2.5NA - the power steering pump on the disco has a screw in thread (high pressure) and the 2.5 has a banjo joint so I need a new pipe. Which PAS pipe will fit as a replacement as the pump is also higher up - disco or defender pipe? Thanks

Can anyone tell me the valve hole size for tubeless Wolf wheels - are they 11.5mm 9.7mm or 16mm, and the length will be as a standard tube? - any help appreciated.

Just had the valves and seats reground and a broken valve guide replaced on a 2.5NA. put everything back together - started fine and sounded smooth, but 2 injectors were weeping. Forgot the small metal seals on the injectors and so took them back off and fitted the seals. Started it up and a...

I want to replace my defender doors with series doors as almost everything but the skin has rusted away. I assume they will fit? What is the difference between the series 2/2a and series 3 door tops as they seem to have different part numbers - is it just the window catch?

Hi All, Have a 110 hybrid defender with a 2.5NA engine instead of 200TDi - well it bucks the trend. The steering pipe is split around the brackets at the front - high pressure side. How can I tell if the pump that is fitted is the original TDi pump or one from the 2.5NA - so I can order the...
