Off to order one, thanks. Need a multipack of every single sized nut ever made at this point 😆

Took ages to arrive and it wasn’t to be unfortunately… the mystery continues

good news! Fitted my new starter motor today. (such a painless job when you have an uprated, smaller heater in the engine bay!) The truck fired up and I could see if my new lift pump and fuel line clear out sorted it. And it did! running sweet as anything, thanks for all of your help and...

I'll give it a try! thankyou:D

Morning Everyone, are there any other steering wheel nuts for the 36 Spline Column? I had the huge 4 spoke early steering wheel on and I took it off while I stripped the interior to its shell and its now time to refit the wheel but of course, the nut is missing. I've bought QYH500130 And...

Okay thanks! I’ve sent an email to diesel bob regarding injection pump as a precaution, because who wouldn’t benefit from a reconditioned pump. It had a new starter when I engine swapped and it hasn’t done too many miles as it’s been more off the road than on. But I’ll look at getting a new...

So an update, I’ve essentially got no where. Blew out the feed and return from the tank and there was a blockage of some sort in the return. Both are new from the point of starting the rebuild and don’t have any cracks to let in air. Took off output from lift pump as suggested by @Rangieman123...

Will give it a go. Fairly certain we’ve checked the return line but no harm in checking it twice!

Not what I want to hear honestly! I’ll have a go with the clear pipe when I’m next working on it, just so strange that it ran lovely when we first tried and now this.

No sedimenter, don’t think it’s ever had one if I’m honest. Pick up was checked and was clear. Tank wasn’t checked

No noticeable smoke. There’s definitely something in the fuel system I haven’t checked because it 99% sounds like it’s starved for diesel

As title suggests, my 200Tdi will not start and I'm at a loss for ideas. I'll keep it as short but as detailed as i can. long story short i'm coming to the end of a long awaited rebuild, the truck was starting and driving at this point. we've put a completely custom standalone wiring loom and...

Hi All, got T-boned by a van recently and i'm now looking to start the rebuild process, the front 1/4 of the chassis is slightly bent from impact, from just behind the spring seats, causing the front legs to be bent slightly to the drivers side, causing the front axle to sit a few cm out than...

Okay so I’ve ran the charge light wire that goes into the alternator to earth and the battery light came on, which tells me the bulb has not gone Any ideas?

Hi All Went on some lanes last weekend and got quite muddy, noticed on the way home my battery voltage was only 12.5 volts which is another alternator claimed by the lanes. collected a brand new alternator and fitted it on, connected all three wires to the correct terminals and gave it a test...

Hi everyone, Hopefully I’ve got the cause now, got to a mates place and spent the night checking.. Few dodgy connections, bit of corrosion here and there and a knackered brake switch! Cheees for all your help! I checked the places you told me to look and fixed other problems, the joys of land...

cheers for your help so far guys, i can get hold of a multi meter tomorrow off a friend or maybe even tonight if he ever replies. tomorrow when its a bit brighter i'll check the loom by the bulkhead and the plug by before the loom goes into the chassis. 1985's do have the glass fuses and i will...

Hi all, yet another problem with my 90. Its a 1985 90 originally non aspirated, but defender 200tdi converted. im having issues with my brake lights, originally when they were not working i just took the bulbs out and put them back in again and they worked for many months until now, sadly that...

Cheers for all the help guys! Got a t piece on order with some other bits, just looking for a 200tdi fan shroud now but theyre over £100 online! If you know of anyone who is getting rid of one then send them my way!

okay, thats cleared up now! thanks for your inputs everyone!
