Hi everyone. On Sunday morning I shall be picking up my "new" 1992 200 tdi Defender 90, which shall sit on the drive beside my 300 tdi Disco and my P38, so the house will look like a mid nineties Land Rover dealership from now on. The 90 is a hardtop and has scabby body cappings on it which I...

35572 Alan..... so you're better off on the Fred Olsen ;)

Right oh, ill give it a shot over the weekend..... and itll give me a chance to ask that Russian bird down the road with the 12ft long legs to come and help me ;)

is there any way of "blipping" the throttle from inside the engine bay?

Sounds awesome with the manifold off? :cool: ......... ive not long fitted Longlife Stainless pipes which have made it sound awesome already, so this should be interesting. :) Tie will be firmly tucked away inside my tweed shirt and overalls, but yes, I will be careful ;)

Cheers fellas, ill have a closer look but at the moment the injectors or the leak off pipes dont seem to the trouble. The engine is pretty much spotless (not quite as spotless as some ive seen, but its clean) and genuinely, the injectors or the spill rail don't appear to be the problem. Do you...

Good evening everyone. Haven't been around for a while, mainly as the old girl has been behaving herself. Who ever said P38s were unreliable? Anyway. Just got home and noticed a small patch of fuel leaking on to the drive from under the Range Rover. First inspection shows that the back of the...

I forgot to look... the new one was there and I was in a hurry to fit it so I just whipped it out and dropped the new one in.....

well done fellas, all sorted now... was still a swine to do even after cutting a hole in the floor. wish id cut the hole a little wider though. also the old unions were rotten through so I replaced all that with jubilee clips and rubber pipe but it was still a bugger to get the inserts in and...

Yeah, I remember Mr Grrr and his mate did a very neat job of copper brake pipes a few months ago, I did mine a while back though, not as neat but they are all solid copper now. Veg Oil?! Pah! Perish the thought!...................... oh, my reputation has preceded me :cool: Yes, its been...

Morning everyone. Jumped in the Range Rover the other day only to find (for the first time since I bought it 10 years ago) the old girl wouldnt start. Injectors were dry, so I put on a new fuel filter on.. still no luck though. So then I took the fuel filter off to see how much fuel was...

Ace, thankyou... thats a load off.... Just got to get back, remove the engine mounts, lower the engine block with car on its side just so I can undo the two remaining bolts at the top of the bellhousing....... Why do we do these things to ourselves? :p

That gold Rangie was in decent nick when it arrived but it appears someone else spotted it and ransacked it before I could get back with my tool kit.... It had the full walnut trim on the dash and the centre console, immacualte cream leather and the TVs in the headrests...... a completely...

Its dead easy...... if you dont want to struggle with any of it just take the wheel off, pull out all the black plastic clips the hold the wheel arch liner in, pull out the wheel arch liner, and then the big clip top and bottom that hold the airbag to the chassis.... just look away when you...

All i managed to get off was the hand brake and the gear selector.... the guy with the teleporter was "on his break" for three feckin' hours? I thought he'd gone to Barnard Castle to check his eyesight or something. Anyway, going back tomorrow to hopefully flip the car over and get to the...

Are you challenging me Mr Grrrr? ;) Tomorrow im going over to get the replacement box out.... thatll be a trial run, at least..... except the scrapyard floor is a mess and ill probably have to do it with the car on its side if I can get the bloke who drives the teleporter to flip the car over...

One of the cars in the scrapyard is on a 51 reg, so that ll be a late gearbox anyway. im sure itll all make sense when ive got them both out and side by side. Thanks again chaps!

Without question this car is allergic to water. It gets washed and it wants to commit suicide....... last Christmas it’s wasn’t all that happy about having water in it’s cooling system ...... so it tried to kill itself then, too! oh right, flex plate or torque converter? They’re the bits...

You’re going to feel a lot safer on those now. I did mine a few years ago but i remember it was frightening to see how the old steel pipes just disintegrated between my fingers..... I didn’t do as nice a job of replacing them as you too did though.... might have to do them again now...

Well, if it’s not one thing it’s another...... ive not long cleanEd the p38 to within an inch of its life.... last time I did that a very large willow tree fell on it and smashed the tailgate and rear quarter to bits...... this time i was thoroughly enjoying my drive home from the chippy with...
