Garage greased everything and checked the spring on the pedal. Somone else just said it's the return spring in the master cylinder, which would make perfect sense.

1993 200Tdi 2 door LHD RRC. Had a good search and can find nothing. Land Rover specialist garage can find nothing, no binding, no leaks, no broken return springs, nothing outwardly untoward. And brakes work perfectly otherwise, all in good shape. Symptoms - you brake and the pedal stays...

Hi - my 1993 200tdi had an aftermarket alarm and drivers side actuator fitted, which is buggered. I've got hold of a RR actuator that has 5 wires and can see the original loom had 4 wires. I think the 5th wire was for an optional factory fit remote key fob, so can be left taped up (but...

Having my air-con charged the other day I was chatting with the mechanic who said I should blank off the EGR. I said it was a 200tdi and it didn't have one - so he pointed out the bleedin obvious that's been staring me in the face all this time. It's LHD, so perhaps it was an export thing...

they're the 17" they have on offer. Italian ARC Sport wheels. Twisted have the UK concession.

yep, as pointed out by someone else, direct kit now for the 200 front end. Mine are SVX lights, supposedly better than RDX but have no idea what the difference is - chose them on the basis they were the only ones they had in LHD. At the mo they're LHD adjusted for RHD roads, and as such were...

beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that - I wanted the whole dash flocked, but they couldn't turn it around in the time scale I had. This was the next best thing - the centre stereo pod (which will also get a boost gauge) is smooth metal and covering it and the dash pod in acoustic...

Thanks to a lot of info provided on this forum and elsewhere I've just finished (well, is it ever) pimping my old 200tdi Discovery. Had her for 9 years and she's been a star. Been a builders truck, winter snow wagon (I live in the mountains), people carrier and more recently duty as a...

Mine was a leaky screen seal - coming in at the corner at the base of the A pillar. Don't leave it any longer otherwise you'll have more than damp carpets to worry about! Seal all the way round starting at the top middle and running a bead under the rubber.

Looks like the fold down mechanism is different so I wondered if anyone had put these in a 200tdi with the TD5 mechanism and plastic gubbins on the side panel, if you know what I mean. Obviously not a straight swap, but has anyone looked into this? Or is the metalwork completely different...

Is it much more of a pain getting in and out with the high side bolsters? Nick

I guess most people here are ripping their carpet out to make dedicated off roaders, but has anyone seen or bought the carpet kits listed on Rimmer Brothers? Or know of another? And would a 300tdi carpet fit a 200??

Is that a "why?" If so it's because I've decided to keep my old Disco and tart her up a bit for another good few years use.

Hammerite is pretty **** these days, better off with a 2 part epoxy paint such as this: Rustbuster
