Yes, common enough. I did that very job for a mate some years ago. Also many have had drum brake rear axle replaced with later disc brake axle. Box of chocolates as Forrest said.:):)

My bet is the engine was replaced much later, Discovery only came on the market in 89 ish. Mine is a 1990 Ninety with 200 fitted in the naughty's. Last year recovered the center seat and had to use later type cover. It can be a bit of a fight to do the covers but one just has to work them on...

As above, yours is not Defender it is a Land Rover Ninety or One Ten. Your 200tdi engine is a later replacement for original engine. There are a number of differences with 83 to 86 trucks from later models.

If you can get the tank down to half, siphon and stick dip while you have sender out and then trial fit sender bending the arm to get gauge to read about right. Probably the best you will get.

Well on would hope check would be done. I had similar issue with a tractor some years ago when adjustment was not done.

That is pretty much the way I have done it.

Possible there was no free play at clutch master cylinder rod, the result is like someone riding the clutch pedal all the time . Clutch does not fully engage and so slips some and will wear out quick.

Rocker cover center stud fixes into the rocker shaft block. If this the case then you need a replacement or a thread repair to sort.

The lift pump runs off a cam on the cam shaft, nothing to to with belts or idler pully.

I have done the same you Simon on my Ford Focus 1800tdci, bulb makes bleeding after filter change a doddle as before it was a nightmare job. John.

No.

Think you will have to stay with the 9.5 due to flywheel location pins. With old landy's one often just does not know what others have done in the past. 2a diesel models do have 9.5 unit.

Two each their own, but I still like old method of paper gasket smeared with grease. Next time something gets opened up someone will not be struggling to clean off silicone like I recently did with 230 I sorted last year. If you do use silicone do not go daft with the amount used, stuff...

Rubbish parts then. I keep a spare rebushed panhard rod ready for a quick change.

Were the duff bush's poly type or metalastic type. Six month's is a short time for any type. There sure are some poor quality parts about these days.
