Hi everyone. Haven't been on here for a while as I now have 3 series and lightweight project on the go at once. The latest addition is a lovely and rather original 79 109 station wagon that's driving ok actually and just needs some tlc. Anyway, it has some 'lurching' when accelerating in 1st or...

Have a quick query folks. Series 3 with 12 j engine fitted. One of the old 2.25 engine mounts was replaced on chassis to fit the 12j. I'm new owner and want to fit a 200tdi. Does anybody know if the mounts will need changed back to original spec....or altered further....or straight swap? Cheers

Does anybody know what the factory/standard settings are for the 200tdi fuel pump???? Previous owner has tweaked the one on this new disco...it goes like heck...and I really mean that. Its surprisingly quick. But it does have 238000 miles on it...reliability is more important to me than power...

At the risk if getting abuse, I've decided to post on here anyway as I'm sure there are a few who may have or know of others selling a non LR 4x4. Basically on the search for a little Fourtrak Fieldman Something roadworthy with good body panels that can be driven daily straight away, not a...

Can anyone tell me if the brake master cylinder on the 200tdi is same as 300tdi? Or same as any Defenders etc? I've been told one or 2 are the same. It's just to aid in ordering as finding a lot of advertised 300tdi ones way cheaper for same brands etc.

Today whilst driving...all of a sudden power steering was feeling 'off'. From centre a wee touch either way was going 'stiff' for a second then fine again then the odd stiffness again for a second. But proper rock hard stiffness. Getting worse throughout the day...to the point it was starting to...

I must be mad but.... Deciding on Monday that I am going to stop messing and do a full nut and bolt resto on my Landy... I decided I needed to get a runabout for now Hey presto...found myself a disco 200tdi for £600. Wasn't looking for a Land Rover at but it just popped up and we really don't...

Well, what do you reckon folks...worth the extra few quid for somebody just looking for a good quality durable wide angle prop set up??? Be very interested to hear some user feedback since this forum seems to be the only place I can get honest info.

Ok so after some user opinions... Getting this Land Rover finished off. Just noticed my shocks are knackered and the springs have seen better days. Its time for replacements. I'm pretty sure they are just the Supergaz (Britpart) jobbies (on when bought). And to be fair they have lasted. I run...

Can anybody suggest some good quality drill bits that will last more than a few goes in 3-6mm steel? I am currently using gold coloured cobalt bits but they seem not much better than the standard hss black ones.

Well the suns out and I've finally got a full day to tinker. Haven't been able to get much done to the Land Rover this past 8 months. Our baby daughter was diagnosed with various disabilities not long after Birth so most of the attention has went to her and my wife since. Its just bits and bobs...

I'm probably going to get attacked for asking this as I'll bet you have all had your share of winch questions but Im going to chance it anyway. Ive been onto google, searched the forums etc but its just confused the life out of me. Basically I had been using the superwinch x9 that came fitted...

Anybody got a set of rear window guards for a truck cab?

I've been offered a cracking brand new winch at a 60% reduced price from a neighbour in a tight spot (keeping details to myself for now).Does anybody have actual experience of running a 24v winch in a 12v Defender without resorting to converting the winch to 12v? Wondering if it's possible...

Need some QT cranked rear trailing arms. Dont care about condition of bushes or powder coated finish as long as arms are sound.

Guys, you may be able to advise... Im likely buying a series 2 in the morning. Its off the road and in need of some finishing. This is not going to get rebuilt just yet. I just really fancy it for doing maybe next year. Its on a new galvanised chassis. But the chassis is coil spring set up...

Dear chaps I need some help... Haven't been on for a bit...landy has been on ice as have been out playing with my new boat last few months. But work has rekindled. In the process of buying some new cranked radius arms. But for the life of me I have no idea if they are narrow or wide. Its a...

Hello folks... Quick question... Will a double cardon front prop for defenders with Sailsbury ##front diff fit one with STD front diff??? Or can it be made to fit easily? Or would it be a nightmare!?

Well hope your all well indeed. Haven't been on for a bit as works gone crazy. Landys still falling apart but it is doing its job very well. Time to get bit more done to it. Truck cab rear sliding window. Has anybody returned one? Would you know the part numbers for all the bits at all...

Was given a ride in a 200tdi today. Head had been ported and skimmed, uprated standard fitment intercooler, timing advanced and fuel pump tweaked...nothing else. It was the best driving Defender I have ever been in. In fact it was fantastic. It was very quick and could accelerate hard in 4th...
