It's a 200tdi by the way

Hi all, My Son got to work this morning and the battery had died! He mentioned yesterday that when he put full beam on the radio went off! I should have twigged something was wrong. Anyway it's dead, miles from home, I'm off over later with jump leads etc. Question is, it seems there...

It blows the fuse even if I don't use (operate) it

Hi, Recently fitted a new 'Ring' dual horn, activated from the original horn through a relay. Horn works fine at stand still and on tick over, however after driving for around 1/2 mile the fuse on the supply to the relay blows! There must be a surge which is blowing the fuse, I have...

You got my sympathy here, I would let it go! I have had two experiences lately where me and my son have been involved in accidents, neither our fault, but you wouldn't believe the lies the ba*****ds came out with. Took 2 years and 2 court appearances for my son to win his, after 22 months...

Well it is Sunday evening! :) Guess I just rolls the dice. Just thought that one of you brainy guys might be able to give me confidence to drive it for a couple do days, hey ho, asked too much :screaming_bug_eye_f Thanks for your replies chaps, I know it's a difficult one to predict...

Hi all, Recently noticed a 'clunking' when changing gear. Got under her today and found a lot of play in the rear joint of the rear prop shaft. I will be able to fit new one later this week, just wondered how long it will last? I can live with the clunk and I only travel 30 miles...

I have a defender 90 which is converted to a 200tdi, the radiator has blown and I need to order a replacement quick! I am told there are 3 different ones and not sure which I need! Problem is I'm away from home so can't stick my head under the bonnet. Probably been asked before, but...

Just done the first check on 200tdi swb truck cab, pleasantly surprised to be getting 28mpg around town with hills :D

Thanks guys, will get under and check out connections etc, is the solenoid part of the starter motor or seperate. Had a 300TDI about ten years since and just sold a series 2A but fairly new to the 200!

Hi There, I have had a couple of occasions in the last 3 month where the Landy wont start! the ignition light and oil light come on, but its as if it's dead i.e. it doesnt even try to turn over. Lights and accessories are working and if I bounce it off it starts straight away. Happened...

Me got one in the garage! I'm in West Yorkshire but will be travelling to stansted, so could get it close to you! Interested? Steve

Thanks all, looks like I can rest easy then. Leave it open as it is unless I go wading, great and thanks again.

The plug hole is at the front of the engine just behind the drive pulley. Isn't the flywheel housing at therear of the engine? I guess the cam belt is in there somewhere or am I lost :confused: Sorry I'm feeling a bit of a numpty now

Hi All, Just been under the Landy adjusting fan and pump belt when I noticed this threaded hole. Not sure what should be in there, is it a drain plug or some sort of valve or what? If oil is supposed to be in there, then there ain't any :confused: Steve

Looks great, job that's on my list for later this year :D

Hi All, I want to replace the Valve seals on my 200TDI and have seen a few threads saying how you can do this with the head on :) I'm not too worried about checking the head or re-sealing the valves etc. so it sounds like a great option for me. Sounds quick and easy (if I buy the Valve...
