I have had a closer look in daylight and the oil is bubbling out around the injector. I've bought new washers so hopefully that will do the job. cheers

When the engine is running I can see the oil bubbling out a few millimeters from where the injector goes into the head.

My old 1987 Defender 90 with a 200TDI engine has got oil leaking from the cylinder head right next to the injector nearest the radiator. Any ideas Cheers

Hi Danny, I have a set of Irwin bolt extractors but managed to break a 3/8" drive wrench trying to get the sodding bolts out. I'm hoping my local Landy garage will be able to take them out on Monday and replace them with regular bolts. Don

Thanks, you were spot on, it's the bearings. I got complete kits for both sides. however, I ran into a problem immediately. I could not get the caliper off. The Torx head retaining bolts would not move and after 3 hours of trying every thing I could think of and the bolt heads completely shot, I...

That makes sense, I will check it out. Thanks for that

I had a bit of a problem with my 1987 Defender 90. i was driving about 30-40 mph and then heard something clunking and mechanical from the underside then the steering went all to hell and had a wee fight to keep it at my side of the road. There was nothing visibly falling off and I couldn't see...

Thanks Bigsi. You were right on both counts. The heater is working better than it ever did and the wipers are working too. Much appreciated

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try

1987 Defender 90 (originally petrol) with a 200 TDI Discovery engine Help! My heater motor has stopped working. I have taken of the switch and cleaned it up but nothing is happening. I put a meter on to the terminals on the switch, to check the voltage but only got a reading of 2.4 volts...

Is that the complete exhaust? how much would you want for it and where about are you?

I have a 1987 defender which originally had a petrol engine. before I bought it someone fitted a 200 TDI engine from a Disco. I need to replace most of the exhaust and am not sure which sections I should be buying. can anybody suggest a way of identifying. (most of the old exhaust has gone away)

I got the little bugger. The mole grips wouldn't stay on but I used needle nose pliers I gripped the edge of the circlip and managed to drag it out far enough to get my knife blade in behind then a thin screwdriver and prised it out. That's it for today will fit the new joint tomorrow. thanks...

Thanks for that I will give it a go. Cheers

both ears are gone, at both sides.
