Hi all, my old 90 failed it's mot again (as usual lol) on uneven braking on the rear. I tried adjusting the snail cam is it called? On the back of the drum and it was solid! Iv ordered some new ones and a set of brake shoes and I'm going to tackle it on Saturday ready for the re test on...

Well I got a flat battery recently and the volt meter was running around 9 volts so I baught a new altenator and fitted it. It stayed around 9 volts still. I have been out and baught a multi meter and tested the battery (also new) and it reads 12 volts when altenator connections are off. When I...

Well my transfer box on my 90 is leaking and causing vibrations from output shaft bearings. Iv got a decent second hand one to fit but iv not done this job before. I have an engine crane and was thinking of using it through door with middle seat base removed. Is this a big job or fairly straight...

For the last month iv had a funny high pitch metallic rattling noise that when lift my foot off the clutch (the rattle lasts half a second ish) If I lift my foot off the accelerator quickly and my landrover jerks it does it severel times then then too. It's a 1987 landrover 90 with a disco 200...

I was driving along slowly down a dirt track and my engine cut out. Not it just turns over and won't start - it's a 200 tdi disco engine in a 90. Iv cracked an injector and turned it over and now no fuel is coming out so I'm guessing the stop solonoid? Iv tried putting 12 volts to it and I...

My 90 had it's mot test today and I honestly expected it to pass but it failed big style. The tester has been really really harsh. I took it for the spring mount welding and a chassais check. After that he took it to the test centre and the tester failed it on all this. Advised...

After a bit of a disaster with a snapping timing belt one of the rockers snapped and the replacement I have recieved the body is a lot shallower. The part no. Is the same but when fitted it runs like a bag of spammers. I had a misshap with my injector pump but I'm fairly sure it's timed back in...

Wanted in Leeds a decent 200 tdi injector pump for a discovery 200 tdi engine. If anyone has one for sale or knows where one is for sale I'd love to know. Cheers Tom.

On the way home from work Tuesday morning the bloody timing belt snapped again! The problem started here: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f48/timing-belt-riding-over-shredding-274950.html And the new belt has just snapped too! Can't see any wear on the belt and all the pulleys are flush and...

While on the motorway in my 200 tdi disco engine conversion 1987 90 is at it's top speed at 50 mph. Anything above 50 it is revving too high for comfort. Also while driving along at this speed I often have a convoy behind me on single track roads and other landrovers (defenders) overtake me...

Today I was giving my 90 it's regular repairs then I discovered this!: Bloody spring mount is it called? Snapped off on 1 side. It's one thing after another lol it's a good job I love it!!! Is this a big job? Iv not welded before so I'm not sure if I could tackle it myself. What sort...

Hi guys iv got a bit of a problem with my starter motor, it just clicks once when I turn the key. Sometimes it takes 20 - 30 attempts before it will turn over! It's had a new battery and the alternator is fully working so it must be the starter at fault. It's a 1987 90 with a discovery 200...

Well last year my timing belt snapped as it run against the casing and shredded itself then snapped. It looked as tho it took a while as when I took it apart the casing was full of dust and bits of belt. I carefully re-fit a new timing belt kit with new pulley and idler. This morning while...

I'm having problems with my disco 200 tdi engine in my 90. It runs fine at low revs but when I accelerate for more than a few seconds it almost cuts out and then restarts again after a second or so. I fitted a new lift pump and fuel filter but it still does it. It did it about a month ago on a...

Today I had a few fuelling problems on my disco 200 tdi engine in my 90 so I changed the filter and the problem continued. I carry a spare pump so I changed it. When I took off the old pump I saw this....... The lever was bent to one side! And the lever gouged....... What could...

Hi all the horn on my 1987 90 has packed in, I am looking to replace it. Is their any horns you guys could recommend? My current one sounded like a noddy car and it makes my girlfriend laugh when I use it! Is their any horns you could recommend that sound a bit more manly? Cheers!

Hi my clutch went the other day :( and I'd like to replace it myself and learn a thing or two. I have most tools and an engine hoist and after pondering how to tackle it tonight in preperation to do it this weekend while looking at the engine there's so much to undo a especially as its got a...

Hi all today my clutch went :( so while I'm doing it I'm going to change the rear main seal too as it leaks. Iv been searching into this on Here and on the internet and while looking at seals online and I'm unsure which one to order I understand its best to order a genuine but if seen many...
