I've got a 1990 200tdi Defender which has trouble with the drivers door closing well as it was too low down by a long way. With all the repeated banging, the door striker had come a little loose so i thought i would replace completely. Took it off only to find this waiting for me which was a...

Haha thought someone would pick up on that, what was more worrying for me was the puddles of black oil that poured out once I took the cover off

It comes up as turbo diesel using the reg on insurance & other sites which I figured like other have said, they just generalise it as it’s a turbo diesel but it’s also registered as defender 90 turbo diesel on the V5

Wouldn't the turbo diesel have the turbo mounted in the same place?

Thats what i thought as well but puzzled why the car isnt registered as tdi but instead Turbo Diesel

lol its a right pain especially for changing the oil filter so want to get rid of it but trouble is its the only working horn atm so ill do it another time.

Hi All, Just been looking at the log book for my 1990 Defender and see that its listed as a 90 Defender Turbo Dies and registered 04/10/1990. I always went with the understanding that it was a 200tdi due to it being late 1990. Error on my part is that i havent had a thorough look at serial...

thanks! will try this tomorrow. Was actually looking at ordering the Allisport aluminium engine breather catch tank for a while now, think ill go for now

I thought this too but i dont really know where i go from here. Is it severe enough to need a new turbo or something as simple as new seals/pipes?

Marking its position would have been smart... so of course i didnt But will try full throttle and see if i can get it out

After hearing about many who have had success upgrading their boost pin for their defender, i thought i would do the same for my 1990 200tdi Defender. Managed to get the 4 screws holding the diaphragm cap off and black oil started running down to the floor. Let it drain (few tablespoons worth)...

I Would have just gone for the standard £60 britpart prop and slightly better UJs but reading online thought i would spend a bit more and get something reputable and assumed Bailey Morris brand would be no different from Paddocks, especially at £208 or so. For £250, i could have got something...

Sure the topic of greasing props has been mentioned 1000 times but ive just bought a new wide angle morris bailey rear prop for my 200tdi 90 defender and it only has 2 grease nipples (1 on each UJ) which has surprised me as i thought it would have one also on the slider itself. (the photo online...

You can hear some knocking/grinding at 36/37second mark where i was deliberately letting off power however the severe noise is at 0:50-0:53 but for some reason the sound on video quietens during it, Much louder and aggressive in person.
