Hi All, got T-boned by a van recently and i'm now looking to start the rebuild process, the front 1/4 of the chassis is slightly bent from impact, from just behind the spring seats, causing the front legs to be bent slightly to the drivers side, causing the front axle to sit a few cm out than...

Okay so I’ve ran the charge light wire that goes into the alternator to earth and the battery light came on, which tells me the bulb has not gone Any ideas?

Hi All Went on some lanes last weekend and got quite muddy, noticed on the way home my battery voltage was only 12.5 volts which is another alternator claimed by the lanes. collected a brand new alternator and fitted it on, connected all three wires to the correct terminals and gave it a test...

Hi everyone, Hopefully I’ve got the cause now, got to a mates place and spent the night checking.. Few dodgy connections, bit of corrosion here and there and a knackered brake switch! Cheees for all your help! I checked the places you told me to look and fixed other problems, the joys of land...

cheers for your help so far guys, i can get hold of a multi meter tomorrow off a friend or maybe even tonight if he ever replies. tomorrow when its a bit brighter i'll check the loom by the bulkhead and the plug by before the loom goes into the chassis. 1985's do have the glass fuses and i will...

Hi all, yet another problem with my 90. Its a 1985 90 originally non aspirated, but defender 200tdi converted. im having issues with my brake lights, originally when they were not working i just took the bulbs out and put them back in again and they worked for many months until now, sadly that...

Cheers for all the help guys! Got a t piece on order with some other bits, just looking for a 200tdi fan shroud now but theyre over £100 online! If you know of anyone who is getting rid of one then send them my way!

okay, thats cleared up now! thanks for your inputs everyone!

see this is my intention, and i have the pipe work to do that to, just want to make sure it wont cause any damage anywhere!

okay ill vent it to atmosphere and have a catch-can, in the meantime i'll look out for the proper air box!

Probably a bit of confusion with my post, its a defender 200, not a discovery 200! So are you saying my original non turbo air filter and housing isnt a suitable thing to use? or can it be used as a temporary until payday? im only a skint teen! photo attached is the air filter + housing in...

was just looking at t pipes, cheers!

Hi all, I recently started to convert my N/A 90 to a 200tdi, everything is in and we are almost at the end of the conversion, but we've ran into a few problems... -The air filter box that the turbo pipe and crankcase breather connects to, well the N/A air box does not have the bit that the...

Hi, Ive had a headlight out for quite some time now but the bulb is not at fault, as it worked on full beam but not dip. It now comes to my attention that the headlight doesnt work on dip or full beam, but instead the front and rear indicator are on constant instead, A friend reckons it could...
