If you replace the steel plate that is riveted to the gearbox tunnel along with the auto selector and the complete CDL selector from the D2. It will all swap over to the D1. You will however need to modify the level on the gearbox end for the...

The two hoses that run along the chassis are only available together - LR do sell them, but they're not cheap especially the earlier one (to VIN3A828006) which is over double the price of the later one. The connectors are 7.89mm.

Those two pictures of the gauge show it is charging. What is the alternator rated to? 60-80A is common I think, and that is at max revs. It probably pushes 40A or less normally (I don’t think it will fail and over-charge, just undercharge). I...

Warm welcome, looks great!

Nice! Sounds like a bargain then…

Hiya ppl , I ain’t been on for years now, As the tittle says I brought a rough running v8 90 3.9 efi . Ticked over nice but as soon as you revved it up it was spluttering dying coughing all over the place, kept losing pressure on the fpr...

New 1.6mm ali inner wing liners cut to shape and ready to be panel bonded and rivited over the original wings to give a smooth as new finish to the inside of the tub, also bonded 2mm sheet to the original floor here it is with some weight on it...

It might be worth checking the grounding of the gauge and the wiring? I had a very similar issue with my new to me 110, the needle on the gauge would go right up into the red looking like it was overheating, but actually the issue seemed to be...

30-40 minute install (used a vacuum pump to drain the old tank). Two trips down the highway and around town, no leaks… turned out much simpler than I thought it would!

There was only one generation of Freelander 2 (with a mild facelift). However, there have been several variants and generations of the BMW X5. So it will largely come down to what you are actually comparing. Four gens of X5 according to Wiki...

Reviving this. I have a misfire at high revs now (didn’t a couple of weeks ago) after the alternator pulley pinged off. Car is a 3.9 EFi, now in a ex-TDi Discovery. Belt is now back on and the alternator (200A version) is raising the twin...

A misfire at high revs could be a number of things. I think I might start with the ignition amplifier. Also check the battery and the alternator output. Vac leak is a possibility and unfortunately so is HGF, so maybe do a full (wet and dry)...

A few makes that in my opinion are the best quality you can get: DAYCO or GATES for belts, tensioners, pulleys LEMFORDER for balljoints A Frame and other suspension parts TIMKEN bearings and races SUPAPRO Bushes OLD MAN EMU Shocks and Springs...

That is the correct belt routing for a 3.9 without an AC compressor. The disco1 3.9 was never fitted with carburettors, anyway the 3.9 has two belts to pick from, ERR4623 and ERR5579 if fitted with AC… also as always its depending on engine...

Typically (mostly but not always) rubber things from Britpart are not as robust as OEM parts. Hoses and seals spring to mind. Some metal parts are OK (nuts and bolts for example) with the exception of bearings which in the main are nowhere near...

Yes, I bought a Britpart top hose to replace the original one on the 200tdi, I put the original back on. Bypass hose on the 200tdi I had no choice to replace with Britpart, I throw it away every time I have to take it off, which is a regular...

Lucas 17TN is what you need. Will need to be programmed to CCU. Might be able to find you one. Will PM. Can buy new case and buttons easily on ebay.

Literally nothing. Just look at a few adverts on ebay etc, old land rover discovery/range rover woth big miles = worthless My D3 is on 170k and I reckon it might be worth 2k on a good day, and everything works on it.

Hi all, I am looking into swapping my daily driver / work car. It is an old V70 2001 D5 volvo, which has been good since the first time it came in the family. I learned to drive in that thing 20 years ago and still love it. But with a 3th child...

Really Anaconda? A 20 year old original hose with 20 years wear / tear and temp cycling, will still be better than a new Britpart one? Are Britpart that bad?

Hi all, Jack from his YouTube channel, Number 27 has done a review of my Landy. Here's a link:

I've always had best results using Permatex on the valley gasket. Around the corner coolant passages both sides (as shown in post 119), but also a thin bead along the actual block where the rubber seals go. Also make sure you don't overtighten...

I’m changing mine as it is probably the original (1995) and will be adding an Allisport version. Andrew there has been excellent with his assistance as my rad is a TDi still even though a v8 3.9 EFi has been dropped in. Thermosats are cheap...

Yeah cylinder 8 bore actually looks fine form those new pictures. From the pictures it does not look like any of your liners have slipped either. You might have a coolant leak past the hg into your cylinders but its kinda hard to tell that from...

Morning, Good news is that the heads are off. Bad news - the gaskets look like they're in pretty good nick to me. I was praying for an obvious blown gasket, but it seems that's not the case.

Gasket looked in good nick on the passenger side. I'm hoping to see a damaged one on the driver's side, otherwise I'll be in trouble...

Warm welcome!

Did some searching on other forums and may have found an answer… crack on the underside of the reservoir tank … had the exact same location of leakage and for about the same period of time driving to get it hot. Must’ve caused it to start...

And this is where the fun starts. It was a TDi and has a diesel rad, but a 3.9 and auto box (guessing it was a v8 auto?) was slotted in.

Hi everyone, I’m new here. Bought my first Defender just before Christmas and have been on this (and other!) forums pretty much every day since. I live SW London / Surrey and definitely appreciate the advice of everyone on here. My first post...
