Fuel pump lever should have some resistance to it, but not be spring loaded. As long as the cam shaft is in the right position it should return to centre but not feel spring loaded. Can help on your second question

Defender 200TDI Whilst helping out a mate, noticed today that the indicators are flashing twice as fast as normal. I know this normaly points to a blown bulb. Checked all the bulbs and they work correctly. Now here's the weird one. When I operate the hazzard switch all is well. The...

All sorted. It was the fuel lift pump. Just a couple of pointers in case anyone else a similar problem. Thinking back there were a couple of signs. 1. Landy always started on the bottom, fired within one revolution of the engine. last few times, it's taken 4-7 to start. 2. When...

Good call Alex, All fuel lines are nice and tight. Thanks anyway

Checked drain plug on the bottom of the fuel filter. Fuel runs freely. racked of the fuel injector pipe fuel coming out of each pipe. When I cracked off one of the pipes the revs climbed, made the mistake of cracking off the fuel filter bleed screw with engine running. now won't start...

Thanks for your help... OK, Air filter is fine and dry, all air filter pipes seem free of ice. Turbo pipes from the Intercooler seem to be fine. (not perished). cracked the banjo fuel pipe from the top of the fuel filter, turned engine over no fuel... Cracked off the pipe to the right...

Help please. My 1996 300TDI Defender has lost power. We have a friend who's due to give birth any day. Here in Sussex we have had about a foot and a half of snow overnight. To play and to see if the roads were passable in my Landy, I drove the 2 miles to her house. (got there fine)...

thanks, i'll order the oil seal today. Will I need to drain the transfer gearbox oil

Finally got around to looking at my parking brake on my 96 300TDI. Tried adjusting the adjuster on the rear of the drum brake but made no difference. Today Inspected the damage. Removed the drum and the drum has a fair amount of oil in it. Also the shoes are saturated with oil. On...

I want to change my brakes callipers and Disks, mine are too far past it. had a quick look at Ebay and there are plenty for sale. Not too worried about solid vs vented, as I'm not sure the performance will warrent vented. Trying to avoid ****part, but do I buy guenuine Land Rover callipers...

Steve, seems a bit extreme, but its got to be worth a go, got nothing to loosel...cheers:)

ok, gets its worth holding off until I've replaced the door seal. if a door that doesn't fit the hole, must be a landy issue. Cheers for the advise. defcrazy. not 100% but the water stains on the paintwork seem to point to the door seal.. will double check the vent flaps this evening.

Hi ya all, been trying to figure out why my defender passenger floor is always wet. After a fair bit of Investigation and a mate with a hose pipe. Found where the water is coming in. Seems to be surface corrosion under the passenger door seal. Water is running in and behind the...

Maxda 6 for the wife and the kids. Defender 200TDI is my main car.

My mate has bought a tidy 200TDI. After test driving, hes got a few problem that need sorting. The main problem is vague steering. On the road its like steering a boat. Checked the obvious bits. Drop arm is tight, same goes for Track Rods and steering UJs. tire pressures are all good, no...

Well if its not a typo, then I will be taking delivery of a hand Riveter Setter, Including Aluminium/Steel and Stinless Steel M3, M4 M5 and M6 Revnuts which we've established don't exist.

Your right there is no such thing as a revnut, thanks for the typo correction.

For anyone who's Interested. After a bit of research, the bolt that connects the sunvisor to the body is called a Rev-Nut. its a bit like a Rivit which squashes into the fixing and leaves a threaded nut. Any land rover dealer sell the Rev-Nuts in packs of 10, however you need a special tool...

In the process of replacing the crap headliners that came with the 200tdi's. With some effort got the sun visor bolts out, but when I got the old headliner out, I have found that two of the connection nuts that are part of the roof assembly just spin when I try and screw the headliner bolts in...
