I don't think she's that interested in driving it, I have just bought her a BMW X5 4.6is, 347bhp, 0-60 in 6 secs!:D and runs on lpg! (with 15mpg I'm really glad it does run lpg!) And if I'm a good boy she sometimes let me drive it! :cool:

I used a car body porta-pac to lift the engine about 3", and then simply un-bolted the old and replaced with the new. I took my time doing it and to be honest it was quite easy other than the nearside engine mount was difficult to get a spanner on the top nut (disco 200tdi engine) but once I had...

The wife used my Landy on monday and reported hearing a knocking noise coming from the front, so I had a quick poke around it and to my supprise found that the o/s engine mounting rubber had sheared through and the engine had dropped down by about 2", oh dear!:eek: I went on ebay and bought all...

I have had a 2" suspension lift for about a year now, the only reason to fit 3 degree radius arms would be to correct the steering geometery (steering self centre) and make it a little less twitchy, but fitting the radius arms alters the prop angle, so then you would need to fit a wide angle...

Stood at the drivers side looking at the engine, follow the radiator top hose to the thermostat housing and there it is screwed into the therhostat housing! with one wire going to it.

Yep take it out and write down the number that is stamped on it, should start with prc then 4 numbers. (mine is PRC9917 disco 200tdi);) go on Paddocks site and type in the number on thier search and you'll know which you have. I have just ordered mine from here; Steve Parker Land Rover Spare...

It aint over heating mate trust me, I trust you have just fitted a Disco 200tdi motor??? if you have then change your temprature sender for a 90 Defender 200tdi sender, they are matched to the gauges. mine runs just onto the red at normal temp, I have yet to change my sender!;)

Khaos, I live in Rotherham and the 2 places that we use (myself and my mate in his toyota surf) are Kirton Off Road Centre and Frickley 4x4, Frickley being the closest to us. Kirton is mega as anyone on here will tell you, Frickley is not too bad for getting out for a few hours and it's open...

Try one of these LAND ROVER DEFENDER SECURITY PEDAL LOCKS on eBay (end time 07-Sep-10 21:04:22 BST)

KHAOS, try Hawleys tyres and exhausts at Halfway, Sheffield. They can make you a custom stainless one, my mate works there and did mine for me, mine exits above the chassis and out through the rear 1/4 panel.

Well looks like you have us all stumped there mate! why the hell are defenders so bloody expensive???? I guess it's down to partly supply and demand, the discovery sold by the millions and when it came out took sales away from the defender? wish I knew really, why do people pay more for vinyl...

One thing to look out for, as many will tell you, when going for a Disco is the rot on the boot floor (lift the boot carpet to check) and inner/outer sills and rear wheel arches inside of the door shuts, plenty of info on here. Good luck.

I'll second the disco, going from a mondeo family car to a defender will have you pulling your hair out within days! they're cold in winter (VERY) quite noisey (you can't really hear the radio) and not to brilliant on fuel ( being as aerodynamic as a house side), but sa soon as you show a...

Was'nt the Bowler Wildcat using a 4.5ltr TVR motor?

why not just lift the body 2", that way you won't need expensive props & radius arms ect. You should be able to get body lift spacers for less than £100.

Hi, has anyone got a set of timing locking pins for bmw 2.5 diesel engine, the head gasket went on my p38 yesterday:mad:, I've got the head off but I would like to put the locking pins in when I put it back together after the head has been skimmed, just to be on the safe side. I should only need...

I've got a pair of 10 spline axles going free to first person to collect them, the fron axle needs a new bearing where the prop bolts on and sphere's are shot, the rear has new discs and pads fitted! I don't really want to give them to the scrap man if anyone else can make use of them, need them...

Fuel starvation??? try taking the fuel cap off, sounds like a bloked tank breather.

Well i've just finished fitting a pair of Defender TD5 axles to my 90, whilst I was finishing things off and atatching the props I found an alarming amount of free play/backlash in my transfer box! so today I decided to take the inspection plate off the underside of the box and have a nosey...

I'm going to change my axles in the next day or two, I've managed to drop on a pair of low mileage td5 axles from a defender 90. Question is how long will it take me to swap them over, the replacement axles have all the steering rods, radius arms trailing arms and brakes all fitted. i need to...
