Hello, Considering selling my 90 which I use around the farm and occasional popping to the shop. Have no idea what it is worth or if someone would be interested - not to mention I don't think I can post in the for sale section. Depending on what you guys say, I will either sell or rebuild...

This is a little of an introduction really. I purchased my defender in desperation as a necessity for a work horse and quickly fell in love with it - that was 7 years ago! I enjoyed her so much that I decided to rebuild her after a hard life... I joined the forum for information initially and...

Hi, Anyone know the thread Type used for the fuel lines? 2 conflicting threads I found via the search button suggest BSP and NPT. This is for the feed and return lines, I want to replace the lines with new AN braided lines and fittings as the old I very fooked. For a 200tdi 90 just incase...

Really? can anyone confirm this?

Good morning, My mistake, I have a defender 90 with the 200tdi which - upon disassembly - had washers on the old bolts.

Awesome, thanks for the fast response!

Good morning, Can anyone confirm that the cam bearing oil wholes should be at the '4 o'clock' position - assuming the block is upright and the view point is from the timing side? I am currently re-building my 200 tdi and found the bearings to be in said position but had also been installed...

Oops sorry - ill try and resize them

oops forgot to add year, engine etc It's a 1990 200tdi. It's been doing it since I got it. I have changed the engine since Il check the fuel sender again because I can't remember if I did when I installed it. Most likely. Mite take a picture of the 2 boards behind the dash while I'm there...

Can anyone shed some light on a problem. My water temp and fuel gauge both read wrong. Temp gauge is always hot (car is not) and fuel gauge won't go below half. Things I've done: new senders, new voltage regulator (on the back of the alternator) and pulled the dash apart looking for a...
