    200 Engine Loom splice to TD Main Loom..?

    do you need a diagram? there is only a few wires to connect up. just look what colour they are at the engine end, find them again at the cut end and join them to the 90 loom.

    Parts Needed for 1989 defender

    yeah did this in mine about 5 years ago. hit a tree head on at about 50. it hit the passenger wing so the only thing that was straight was the rear tub which i re-used in the rebuild and the rear axle which i sold as it was a disc braked salisbury. everything else was bent. the chassis was...

    200 Engine Loom splice to TD Main Loom..?

    last one i did i pulled both the looms apart and made one out of the two. it looked like a factory job all the joints were soldered and heat shrinked then wrapped in the plastic stuff the disco has on it. you can do it the way you suggest too as long as you have the right thickness wires going...

    Turbocharger and oil

    yeas but the pipe from the air box is obviously on the intake side of the turbo so it cant be the turbo as this blows towards the engine. it is probably just from your engine breathing a bit. the engine breather goes back into the airbox. most land rover engines do this as they get older. take...

    How Do I Adjust Fuel on 200tdi pump?

    read this Turning up the pre 94 Ram diesel injector pump and this http://www.stonefisk.com/doc-arc/def_man/ThermoGuard_Tdi_Tuning_Rev.2.pdf the adjuster at the back is the main fuel adjuster. there are better things to adjust than this. it increases the fuel overall which on low boost...

    Replacment Gearbox

    you cant change the transfer box as its all one unit main and transfer. i'm pretty sure there 2 gears in the transfer box which you can swap with eachother for a higher ratio. this is what i have been told naver had mutch to do with these boxes to be honest. very strong though and tend to last a...

    1990 Range Rover Classic 3.9 V8 diff lock

    I was not putting the viscous box down in any way i think they are an excellent box with very smooth power delivery. I was however giving a simplified explanation to make understanding easier. if you bombard people with technicalities they tend not to take anything in! Yes you are right a vc...

    1990 Range Rover Classic 3.9 V8 diff lock

    if only the front or rear were spinning then either your viscous unit in the transfer box is duff and not locking. most likely as it should do it as soon as a wheel spins. or you have a normal lt230 transfer box fitted with the original linkage and it will not allow you to move the lever to the...

    1990 Range Rover Classic 3.9 V8 diff lock

    Ok, do you understand how a four wheel drive system works? in road going mode every diff is open, front rear and centre (not rangey). when one wheel either front or rear loses traction all the power will go to that wheel leaving it spinning with 100% power through it. Useless. When you engage...

    What gearbox for a V8?

    as far as the box goes you could try and find an lt85 (santana box) which are very strong. A long stick v8 lt77. Or get a conversion plate to fit yours. There are plenty of plates kicking around for series which will be the same, normally fairly cheap. The engine mounts will not line up and...

    Cambelt...not much progress but getting there.

    unless someones fitted something different its definately there. its not a dot its just a bit of the timing case casting sticking out in a point. think its about the 8 or 9 oclock position.
