i’ve completed the 200TDi install into my 90 but I am unable to get it started. I’ve traced the problem back to the FIP which isn’t pumping any fuel. The FIP was completely refurbished at significant cost before refitting. Nothing at all is coming out of the injector pipes. I changed the stop...

I am ready to start fitting my rebuilt 200TDi and R380 gearbox / LT230 TBox from a Discovery 1 to my 1987 90 2.5NA. I am using the standard (long) R380 bell housing but I've fitted a Defender selector rail so I can use the LT77 selector quadrant and gear stick to keep everything inside the cab...

does anyone have a picture of the seat frame / rails of an early 90/110 centre seat please? I’ve currently got a newer Defender centre seat in mine but I’ve bought a full set of the older style replacement bases and backs and I want to put the “proper” centre seat in. I’ve been looking on eBay...

I am rebuilding a Disco 200TDi to go in my 90 and am now ready to put all the timing gears in, but I've hit a snag / am going mad. The only timing mark on the front plate is the crank, neither the fuel pump nor the camshaft appear to have any marks. I've seen pictures of a Defender plate and...

Would anyone happen to have a reasonably close-up picture of the bulkhead so I can see the correct routing of the brake pipe (red arrow) in my picture? Or provide a description... It clearly shouldn't be routed like it currently is but there's no obvious way it should go. I need to take the...

The old glass fuses were playing up (indicators kept failing and needing a fuse wiggle) and many badly corroded so I decided to bite the bullet.... 2 days to install new blade fuseboxes. I took the opportunity to fuse the incoming lives, taking the 2x14 gauge wires coming through the bulkhead to...

I have now stripped my (Disco) 200TDI donor engine and cleaned, checked & refreshed the block including a lick of gold paint and am ready to reassemble. Now buying all the bits I need and I've hit a snag - there seem to be different types of head gasket identified by notches / holes, trouble...

one of the U/D “bolt” lashing points in my 90 truck bed is knackered, it looks like a cheap part so before I try and repair it can someone tell me what it’s called so I can see about getting a replacement? Thanks in advance

I am fabricating a drop plate to mount a tow-bar to my 90 and I want to add tie bars to strengthen it. I am making it in 10mm plate and have made it into channel for extra strength but I will be towing some heavy stuff so it will need extra support - where do people bolt the tie bars to please?

Made a good start on installing a diesel heater in my 90 today... Decided to make up a bracket and fit it at the rear of the seat box, underneath / behind the centre panel. I've utilised all existing / standard holes so haven't had to drill the body anywhere. It bolts up to the panel behind...

I am fitting reversing lights to my ex-MOD 1986 90. After much reading and searching with a torch I have finally got to the point where I could use some help please. My LR doesn't have the wires (that I can find) to the switch so tracing everything back I finally found the green / brown wire...

To save any else spend hours searching, the reverse light wires on a Land Rover 90 are behind the offside tail light panel in the truck bed - Green / Brown. I’ve read loads of posts where people are searching and then either nothing or they declare “I found it!” But nobody bothered to point...

I am starting to renovate the 200TDi that will go into my '86 90 to replace the 2.5 N/A thats in there. I was going to just do the basics (cam belt, water pump etc) but I am now thinking that as I've got the engine out and I've made up a frame for it so its easy to work on, maybe I should go...

Hi everyone, Having recently sold the car I’ve had for 15 years, a 500bhp Nissan Skyline, I am now going the other end of the scale and am about to buy a Land Rover 90. I fancy a bit of mechanical simplicity for a change! Having checked the market out over the last couple of months I am going...
