Hi - I am doing a bit of a suspension refresh on my 1992 110 200tdi Hardtop (that's now a ragtop). I have so far decided on original spec springs at the front (NRC8044 & 45) and I have already selected Bilstein shocks all round. What I was also thinking is the standard rears springs are...

Hi - had a loose old one - read about how it could slip down in sump and give high oil level indications. Brought a new one before getting the old one out - did that yesterday. One thing I noted was that when I attached the new one that the bolt doesn't screw all the way into the block - the...

Hi - new to me 1992 defender 110 200tdi. Noticed 'oil' on the front wheel a couple of days ago the leak is dripping after I've driven - spent much time looking at web for ideas/answers - lots of reading and I am now read up and ready to do a complete axle overhaul! - learnt loads... However I...

Yeah! (Fingers crossed) Okay so on the basis of the pictures - got access underneath and took the main cable of the starter - another picture I took and you can see where it had arced against the manifold. Removed - taped up the exposed bits and refitted taking care on positioning the cable...

Okay - so the main cables show a continuiety (070 on my multimeter) the smaller brown and small black cables don't have any. Quick picture up at my starter motor terminals... It looks like the main starter cable is touching on the inlet manifold - earthing that cable straight back to the...

Just going to go do a simple test - if it is a short I should get continueiety between the battery leads?

Ok - new batery this morning - also took some time to clean up battery box and also to replace the old terminal connectors with some new ones. All fitted - turned over - ran for 10 mins kept eye on it and fine. Stop - go away and tidy up for 10mins come back key - ignition - click. then key...

Hi - long story short - brought a 1992 200tdi defender couple of days ago. guys tells me that sometimes the 'starter motor' doesn't run, but try it a couple of times and normally ok. get to the point where the starter is just spinning and today replaced the starter motor and started first...

Without a service history you need to be looking at some of the other indicators. When I brought mine it had no service history with 116k miles, however it did have some paperwork, by working it through, looking at the dates owners etc, I worked out that the 1st owner from new kept it for 9...

sadly not - it is a bit of an arse. I took me about two hours to make but that did include learning to solder!

Try this link - need MS excel to view but this contains wiring diagrams, pictures and all that I needed to do my install http://jimsrover.afraid.org/rover/paul.adshead.Sony.RangeRover.Wiring.Adaptor.xls Cheers

There seems to be a broard spectrum of 'things that work' when connecting up and aftermarket headunit, this is becuase it normally depends on what is already fitted in to you motor. I have a 95 HSE that had the stock clarion radio and HK speaker set with amps in the doors. There is a good...

Well good news is that it fits and all the function work fine - looked in Halfords and they don't stock a Niagara Grey or similar. Any other ideas where I might find some spray paint? Cheers for the responses mind!

Having had a 'little coming together' and bashing my door mirror I have had to source a replacement unit. Having been sent one from a salvage yard it looks like its from a later model as it's colo(u)r coded. The pin/block has ten wires and is the same as the plug in the wiring look so my...

As a BMW owner as well I think the poster is asking if the later generation BMW diesels (which are 3ltre) can replace the exsisitng 'BMW' lump in the Diesel Rangies? M51 is the engine designation code for BMW diesel engine (i.e the 2.5ltre) one I think... my old pertrol BMW had an #M52TU...

Hi Folks, About to carry out the replacement of the window regulator in the front offside door. It looks pretty simple from the description in the manual and some of the posts on here. The one thing I'm not sure about is the rivets. On past jobs in different vehicles I've been used to...

Now there is a coincidence! I am working up a small snaggining list on my new purchase - I was going to get them all together but... I too have water in my spare wheel well. To me it looks like it is penetrating from the lower tailgate. (lifted up the plastic thingy that covers the gap)...

cheers folks - new thread in the suggestions section!

Dear Admins, I was wondering about a section that is devoted to forum users experiences of garages that have done work on there cars. I am currently trying to find a good independent in the Hemel area and on another forum that I'm a memeber of The Alpina Register - the online BMW ALPINA...

Just wondering if there is a section that I'm missing that lists garage/specialist/dealer information - and forum user feedback? I'm trying to find a good rangie specialist in the east buckinghamshire (Chesham/Hemel) area to look after my P38? Cheers Jim 1995 - Range Rover 4.6...
