I've got a 1991 200Tdi and the fuel pump lever is a bit spindly: in fact, there is no spring on it and it has to be pumped up and down. On my old series 3 the pump was like a spring button and when pressed would return to the start. Should my 200 TDI be like this? Also, I've got ice in my fuel...

I need to do the springs / shocks on my 90 defender (200 TDi). There's an access panel on the inner wing above the shock turret: do I need to remove this? Or can I get away with leaving it in place?

Got a 90 with solid front discs. I need to replace the calipers, so if I go for vented discs and calipers fron a later landy, are the bits a direct fit?

MOT man says I need to do my swivel seals: one looks like it leaks, but the other's OK, but there's no oil in the diff and teh bearing seals are shot. Both swivels are shiny with no pitting. Do I need to replace the swivels, or will I get away with just the seals? It's a 1991 Def 90 and I think...

One of the failure point was: "Nearside front disc contaminated by oil" Do you think this is the caliper? I also have an advisory that both swivels are leaking - is this the likely culprit?

With extensions - really good help from MM 4x4 and good quality part. Interesting this, I moved the 90 half way through with the rear silencer off and it wasn't much louder than normal! Anyway, really good advice on the web about how to do the crossmember swap - well worth Googling!

Hello, just posted a thread on the Defender bit. Got a 90 pick up and have had 3 landies in all, a series 2A (that looked like a series 3), lightweight which I loved (still think they are the best looking landy ever), and now have a 90 (very early 200 tdi) just because I miss having a landy...

I've got a 90 defender pick up - I own it purely because I want a landy in my life and it shares its life with 4 other toys. I decided that whenever it needed anything replacing, I would use the cheapest standard parts, to keep costs down. It's a rough looking ex-farm truck with not much going...
