    Defender 90 pictures please - green ones only

    Here is mine. It is original paint but I have no idea what the paint color or code is.

    lgnition switch spring gone?

    The switch is not the easiest to get to...especially the 2 small screws holding it in. You will have to remove the instrument cluster and then perform some expert level hand contortionist maneuvers to get at the 2 screws. I gave up and drilled out the 2 shear bolts holding the entire barrel...

    200tdi ignition or other issue?

    I drilled them out. What a pain in the A** this ignition is. It looks like the spring in the switch is what has caused my troubles. Hopefully the new switch I ordered will remedy this. Just in case, I'm gonna pull an entire ignition out of a junker as back-up.

    200tdi ignition or other issue?

    How do you get the ignition off? The fasteners clamping the ignition to the steering column do not seem to have any sort of bolt head for a socket or slots for a screwdriver. I did confirm that the plastic ignition switch at the rear of the ignition is broken. Was hoping to remove the...

    200tdi ignition or other issue?

    Thanks...very helpful. I will check all of that this evening. I think I will run up to the local wrecker yard and grab another switch as well.

    200tdi ignition or other issue?

    Today I went to start up my 200tdi Defender and the ignition got stuck all the way on. The engine started but the starter kept turning. I was able to get the ignition turned off with considerable effort, but it took me about 30 seconds. Now I can not get the engine to start at all. It is...

    200tdi turns over but will not start

    I fixed it! Last night I was re-watching a few Youtube videos on doing the timing belt and decided to recheck the FIP timing. Turns out I was not getting the timing pin engaged correctly. Anyway after getting the pin in correctly and then tighting everything up it cranked right over. Thanks...

    200tdi turns over but will not start

    Ok. I pulled the valve cover and pulled the #1 piston glow plug to feel when the compression stroke was occurring. All is lined up...crank pin in, 2 lines showing on flywheel through inspection port, valves on #1 cylinder appear to be closed, cam lined up with arrow, and pin through sprocket...

    Got it. I'll let you know how it goes.

    200tdi turns over but will not start

    You will have to excuse my ignorance on this...it my first timing belt change which is turning out to be quite the learning experience. So when you say turn the cam...do you mean turn the cam sprocket only? I've got it all apart again. Crankshaft is pinned at tdc. Do I remove belt and turn cam?

    200tdi turns over but will not start

    That's exactly what I think is the problem. How do I remedy this?

    200tdi turns over but will not start

    Looks like I have some more reading to do before I tear into it tomorrow since I have never done either before. Thanks for all of the help thus far, I'll let you know how it turns out.

    200tdi turns over but will not start

    So if my valves on #1 cylinder are not shut. How do I get them aligned correctly if the crank pin is in the proper position and it is showing that I am at TDC?

    200tdi turns over but will not start

    Crank key is in and crank key is at 12 o'clock. I did not remove the front pump pulley nut but loosened the 3 screws when I put the belt on.

    200tdi turns over but will not start

    Second attempt at timing it up correctly failed as well. Tomorrow will be my third time taking the whole thing apart and reattempting to get this thing done correctly before I call it quits and take it to a garage. I am now convinced (after extensive reading) that I have somehow managed to get...

    200tdi turns over but will not start

    So I went ahead and pulled the timing case cover off completely just to be sure I have every thing lined up correctly. I have the crank pin in and it is sitting at TDC per the mark on the crankshaft pulley. The FIP pin is in and its sitting at the 10 o'clock position. The camshaft timing mark...

    200tdi turns over but will not start

    Thanks James. I will give that a try and let you know if it works afterward.

    200tdi turns over but will not start

    I'm rebuilding a 1991 Defender 90 with a 200tdi engine. I replaced the fuel tank, fuel pump, and hoses. I also replaced the timing belt. The engine turns over but will not start. After reading through threads, I bled the fuel system by cracking the injectors while it was being turned over...

    getting a new fuel tank in

    I just had to pull my tank out as well. I attempted to remove the sill in order to try and get it out, but that was a pain in the ass. Removing the seat box was far easier and gave me access to the underside so I could clean it up while I was in there. The most difficult part of removing the...
