Hi guys I am on the verge of pulling the trigger on a late model 110 csw. I was amazed to find that the vehicle does not have air con! Other than that omission the basic spec is fine for my needs. Couple of questions if ok - 1. Could a unit like this one be put behind the front seats...

Hi all, New richards chassis, which I am painting (slowly) I have done the mordant solution bit and now I have painted with hammerite special metals primer. Question is - I have some red oxide primer in garage, should I now paint it with that before finishing it with chassis black, or is...

Hi all Part of the process of rebuilding my defender onto a galv chassis will be new suspension. I don't mind paying for quality - in fact I would rather do that. So, along those lines, what can people recommend? I can't justify ome, but at the other end I never read any good reports...

Hi all 98 defender 300tdi - I have blanked off the egr, can I also get rid of related ECU or will something throw a wobbly? Thanks

Hi all, I am about to pull the trigger on a richards galvanised chassis for my 300tdi defender. I have a question regarding options on the chassis: 1. Bolt on gearbox crossmember is a no brainer, right? 2. Should I get td5 rear fuel tank arrangement with td5 rear crossmember? what are...

Hi all Quick question - I want a new rear tub for my 90 truck cab. will a td5 or puma rear tub bolt straight on to my 98 300tdi?? Thanks Will

Hi all I've read many threads on this forum and others, but still looking for some advice if poss please.... Recently I bought a truly battered 1998 defender 90 pick up - with the intention of getting into rtv trials. I knew the chassis was rough when I bought it but it's worse than I...

Hi all, Can anyone help please? I am trying to fit a new exterior door handle on the front passenger door of my disco 1. The long rod which is push fit into the back of the door handle and screws into a bolt type assembly which then opens the door - this bolt assembly has come out...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice please. Getting out of my Rangie 200tdi into my 'new' 300tdi manual Disco - I can't believe how flat the engine feels below about 2000rpm. The Rangie felt like it would drive up the side of a house from virtually standstill but the Disco feels totally...

Evening all, I need some advice and am hoping for some input from fellow forum members. I have a factory 14L 200tdi Rangey Classic. 1993 vintage. I've owned it about 18 months and, apart from a crunchy second gear which is easy to drive around, it's been a brilliant car in that time. It's...

Guys My rangie diesel is off the road at the moment while I try and sort out a misfire. The other day - like a complete knob - I was messing around with the handle on the lift pump. Now it starts on 3 cylinders and runs rough and when I turn it off there is quite a loud hissing noise from...

Guys 200tdi - I cannot remove number 3 injector. Annoyingly I can turn it through 360 degrees easily - but I cannot get any upwards movement on it at all. I've had mole grips on it - soaked it in diesel and it will not shift. I've stood on the bumper and turned it and lifted at the same time...

Hi all Gave my Rangie 200tdi a really good thrash on the way home from work the other day. Now - unfortunately - it's developed a ticking noise and the rearmost part of the engine is covered in black gunk. I've been on top of the engine when running and the noise is coming from injector 3 -...

Hi everyone I am having a lot of fun since I bought my RRC diesel a few months ago (and a lot of headaches too) and thanks to everyone here for their help answering my previous questions. I have known since I bought it that I would need some new tyres so I have today purchased some BFG M/T KM2...

Hi all The tyres on my 93 RRC are 205/80R16 on original alloys. I'd like to buy some 235/85/R16 to go on the vehicle - but looking around on the net people say 235/70/R16 are the biggest that will fit on a standard suspension vehicle. Is that correct or could I get away with the 85s without...

Hi all Lynall kindly pointed me in the direction of some parts catalogues once before, but I am really struggling to find a parts catalogue specifically for the 14L range rover 200tdi. Can anyone help? I am looking for timing case gaskets etc so want to be sure I get the right ones. Cheers

Hello again to all I knew there were three things that needed doing when I bought my 200tdi Rangie classic. First was the cambelt - done that but it's turned into a semi bodge job because one of the water pump bolts has snapped. Second was the viscous coupling - done that but had to fork out...

Hi all I am in the middle of replacing the viscous coupling in the BW transfer box on my RR classic. Simple question - how do I get the old viscous coupling out of the housing it sits in? (I am half way through the job and have the old unit still in its housing on the workbench) Cheers Will

Hi all I took the rocker cover off tonight to find the middle 8mm bolt just spinning in my hands. Once I'd got the cover off I could see that there is no aperture for the bolt to go into i.e. there's just a standard bolt mid-camshaft rather than a bolt with a tower on it. Can anyone help me...

Hi all Have just finished doing the cambelt on my 200tdi. I thought I had followed the 2 versions of the online instructions to the letter, but I have just put everything back together and refilled the header tank and water is ****ING out of the bottom of the engine without me even starting...
