Cheers Kwakerman!. Further investigation shows its cracked a piston. Bought a 200TDi to go in it instead... Not throwing money at 19j. Still, it managed 135,000 miles, is that a new 19j record? ;-)

Hi all! Any one in the Bracknell area any good with 19j 2.5 TD engines in an old 1989 90 and willing to take a look/give advice on mine?. After a light restoration I just can't get her to run properly without it smoking badly and running away with itself when you press the accelerator...

Cheers guys!

Hi all, I've restored a few Series Landies in the past and owned/worked on a few Military Defenders, but never done a COMPLETE rebuild onto a new chassis before. I've been given a thoroughly rotten G reg (1989?) Defender 90 2.5Tdi that I want to rebuild onto a new galvanized chassis. I've...

Hi all, Just bought a 1969 Series IIa and new to the forum. After fitting a re-con gearbox, I've moved onto the next thing, the brakes. I've just purchased a new master cylinder for it which I belive is correct for the year, but does not match the one that seems to be fitted :confused: The...
