    90 2.5td lucas injection pump

    I would be interested ciderdrinker if you have one. How much do you want for it etc etc. Sean, What sort of percentage did you put in your tank? 100%? I'm using about 40% at present, and everything is fine, but after reading post after post about the lucas pump I'm awaiting a big bang in the...

    90 2.5td lucas injection pump

    I would use the simplest method. I thought that using the twin tank would put less stress on the fuel pump at start up, especially seeing its the notorious Lucas demon!!

    90 2.5td lucas injection pump

    Hi all, I'm playing with adding vegetable oil to my Landy and I'm in the process of setting up a 2 tank system. However, due to having a lucas pump I'm trying to locate a spare incase the inevitable happens. But what a nightmare! Does anyone know where I can get hold of a spare??? other than a...

    Raining inside!!

    Is it just me, or does your defender have really bad condensation? Is it due to the airtight body work! or due to the fact there's large enough gaps to allow clouds to form!?

    Heavy breathing...not me, the fuel cap!

    Thanks muddy, It was the fuel cap I was asking about, and likewise I think they may have got wrong idea, that's why I posted, I thought I was missing something too obvious. I will try the oil cap later, I'm awaiting the garage to fit the replacement fuel tank seeing the seams were leaking...

    Heavy breathing...not me, the fuel cap!

    Hi, I've just read on the net to be aware of heavy breathing fuel caps on the 90TD. Mines back in the garage after the fuel tank leaked!! but I was aware when I filed it up last after an empty tank that it gasped rather than breathed when I opened the filler cap! Is this normal, I just...

    What's under the drivers side area?

    So, would I need to take the drivers seat out and the floor to have a look at the top of the tank?

    What's under the drivers side area?

    Just had a chat with the bloke that I got it from and he said that if the tank was full (it is) and I'm parked on a hill (I am) that fuel maybe coming from the overflow on top of the tank. Does this make sense? It sounds good to me!! When parked on the flat it doesn't leak. Saying that, Grunt...

    What's under the drivers side area?

    Stupid newbie question I know, but what's under the driver that could be dripping diesel/oil? Is it really the fuel tank, cylindrical thing? (90TD 1990 with the newer old engine!) Just noticed that its rather dark coloured at the back end and, in the morning after I had parked it on the hill...

    Fitting the bl@$%y bench seats!!

    They're folding seats so I assume you don't bolt through the tub!! I have managed to squeeze the brackets into the slot in the tub but only by using one bolt and squeezing it in. Now I can't get the other bolt in and how on earth will I tighten it. Still it seems I'm going in the right...

    Fitting the bl@$%y bench seats!!

    How can something so simple be such a pain. Got the bench seats with 2 brackets and 4 bolts. I think I've tried every combination but still can't see how to get them to fit!! Do I need to drill holes or can I use those slots on my tub to thread the bracket into!! Any help would be really...

    2.5 TD have I made a mistake

    The rest appeared when I did the initial inspection to be very clean and solid, no rust. It was owned by a doctor who liked to think he was a country gentleman and treated it like a car. However, tomorrow when I pick it up and bring it home I'll probably be on the forum talking about the...

    2.5 TD have I made a mistake

    Hi, I'm picking up my "new" land rover 90 2.5 TD tomorrow. I was so excited until I read that the 2.5TD is a load of @*$p!! Have I made a mistake? It was built in 1990 but does still have 2.5TD on the back so I assume was not the newer "better" 200TDI What should I do, apart from cry and not...
