    Defender 90 200TDI Overheating - Replaced Everything

    Thought I would post a reply as I finally got to the bottom of this having been down the rabbit hole. I like to think I am a logical thinker and I use tools to diagnose thorny issues for my job.

    Defender 90 200TDI Overheating - Replaced Everything

    Firstly, I know there are lots of threads on here about overheating. However, I have an unusual situation I can't get to the bottom of. My Defender 90 200TDI has started running hot on the motorway. Around town it's fine, but when pushing hard it gets to 98 degrees C (I installed a VDO sender...
