Looking to get new lift pump but looks like my 90 has a series 3 lift pump? Is this the case its a 1986 ex military 90. When I search for a pump by engine / year the pump looks different. Can i fit a newer type pump or would it be best to fit a series 3 pump? The problem I have is its keeps...

Pump seized and snapped belt. Does anyone know if driving it without the pump or any fluid in it will cause any further damage or strain on the power steering box? Any recommendations on replacement pumps just had look on greedbay about £140 for aftermarket pump. Cheers Rob

I put new front Timken wheel bearings in 2 years ago and just checking before MOT they are totally shot. I wade almost daily during a couple of months in the winter as live the other side of a ford so expect water gets in. I did use a load of PTFE tape when I put the rubber hub cap on to try a...

Looks like front output bearings are shot was making a clicking noise on deceleration and on closer inspection does appear to have some play in it. Fairly recently fitted a recon Ashcroft LT77 gearbox and at the same time fitted a new input shaft and bearings to the transfer box so hope no...

Tried to remove the door tops from ex military 90 and results were poor, got one nut off eventually but snapped one and the other two seem to be spinning in the door top but not undoing. I had been soaking in WD40 for a week and heated the nuts up before trying to remove. Any other experience of...

The 90 just passed MOT 32 years old and no advisories:) I hate MOT's worse than going to Dentists

Just changed my rear crank seal while I was changing the gearbox for a recon. I changed it for the same type that came off that was the Dowty seal type which had a nylon sleeve to assist fitting. Got it all back together and the new seal was p***ing oil out. Just got the gearbox off again and...

Question do all 2.5NA engines have or should have valve caps? Just put new valves in 86 ex MOD and none were present but it did mention in the manual. Also read some other posts which mention valve caps. Obviously the engine still works without them but I imagine it gives more surface for the...

Does anyone know is it a given that I will have bent valves / push rod damage due to timing belt breaking during driving or will I get away with just replacing the belt etc and setting up the timing again. Engine is a 1996 2.5na.

I have a 30 year old MOD 90 2.5NA. Have recently towed a caravan for 3 hours and is now noisy in 5th, sounds like bearings. Sound fine in 4th but also a bit noisy in second. Not too bad when not towing but does now sound different. I also did a bit of deep wading before so checked the oil which...

Going to fit a standard 90 hard top and sides for winter on my ex military 90 that has canvas hood. Does anyone know if I will need to change the windscreen surround or will a hard top fit using the same holes as the clamps that hold the hood at the front? Has any one else done this? are there...

My 2.5 NA when warm does not instantly reduce revs when letting go of the accelerator. It revs high for about 5 - 10 seconds which does not seem allot but sounds worrying and it effects engine braking when slowing down. I have checked the cable etc and this is not sticking. Also just changed...
