I run a 1992 Defender 90 with a 200tdi engine. Normally the fuel light comes on when I first turn the key and goes out after the engine fires. It also lights when the fuel gauge drops to the red sector as you'd expect. Yesterday I was driving home from work and the fuel light flickered a few...

On my 1992 200TDi, the fuel light comes on when the glow plugs are doing their stuff but also when the fuel gets to the top on the red on the gauge. Perhaps that's a retrofit from its airport days though. To check the sender unit on the tank, lift out the driver's seat cushion and remove the...

Just a quick update in case anyone is interested. It starts (reluctantly) and I left it idling yesterday for half an hour without any problems. There was no vacuum when I removed the fuel cap. I had a look in the tank, through the sender unit hole, to see if there was anything up and was faced...

I have ordered a new turbo hose today but in the meantime I did a tempy repair on the split one and set off to see if that would solve the problem. It drove normally for a couple of minutes but then started playing up again. I got home and had a poke about - the engine revs up normally at first...

Thanks for the advice. The power loss became apparently when it started to struggle to get to 50mph on the open road. Even slight climbs knocked the speed down dramatically so I thought 'turbo'. I had to slow down and lose all my momentum when I got into the town and that's where it got serious...

I'm having a bit of a 'mare with my 1992 200TDi 90. On my way home from work a couple of weeks ago, I started losing power - gradually at first then as I got closer to home the power went dramatically. I managed to limp to the house doing around 10mph in first gear with the engine almost...

My '92 90 does exactly the same thing. Last MoT, the chap failed it for doing this. I protested so he checked his book, decided he was wrong and passed it.

My Landy came to me from Birnam Autopoint. There's Lix Toll out by Killin and a place in Auchterarder as well, though I can't seem to find a website for it at the moment.

Up here in the frozen North, I recently dispensed with my locking fuel cap because it was frozen solid every time I went to get fuel and I had to mess around in the petrol station trying to get it to defrost. I bought a non locking fuel cap (exactly the same but with no lock gubbins) from the...

Can anyone tell me if this can be used as a direct replacement for my current locakble fuel cap? Once again this morning I got to the petrol station and the lock was frozen solid, so once again I couldn't get any diesel, only just made it home and I'm now having to **** about with a jerry can...

Driver's side pads and disc were scary-thin (*no* friction material on the pads) but both sets were replaced today thankfully. Won't ever fall into that trap again, I doubt they would have lasted much more than a couple of weeks before failing spectacularly. Windscreen washer was simply a loose...

Yep, can't hear the pump go, though the back one works fine. A mate is going to do the brakes tomorrow while I'm at work and I'll have a look at the washers when I get home in the afternoon.

I'm just back from picking up my Landy from MoT. It failed for two things - offside front discs scored and pads below min thickness which is fair enough I suppose, but the second item was that the bloody front windscreen washers don't squirt. They worked well enough when I overtook a tractor on...

The handling certainly takes a bit of getting used to if you have only ever driven a 'normal' car, particularly with big off road tyres. You can't drive like you would in a small car and they can catch you out on corners in the rain... I agree with that. Mine will sail along quite happily all...

Bizarrely, I find my 90 to be more comfortable than my last car (Vauxhall Corsa) for long trips. I used to get really bad back ache after a few miles in the Corsa, no matter how I adjusted the seat but I've not had any problems so far with the Landy. I tend to drive on long journeys with my left...

I drive a 1992 200tdi 90. My battery light has started coming on and flickering very dimly when I'm driving. It gets a bit brighter at low revs, but still flickers on and off. It goes out eventually but will come on again after a while. I've done a search on here but it didn't come up with...

Mine is on the bumper but it's cracked - I want to put the replacement on the grill to avoid to getting smashed up again in the future. I'm not sure how to mount it, can anyone advie please?

I am in exactly the same boat, 1992 200TDi as my first Landy - except my UJs are definetly well on their way out. Fitting them shouldn't be too much of a problem for me but I'm not sure about what to buy. I was about to post much the same thread, so any information will be greatfully recieved...

My 1992 200TDi has recently developed a water leak. It seems to come and go and doesn't lose a lot of water in one go, it's more of a steady trickle once or twice a month.. I've had a look and it seems to be coming from the engine block behind the radiator fan pulley. To be honest, I'm out of...

I have a Sony head unit (with mp3 input) plumbed into a pair of expensive-sounding 80W Kenwood speakers which are installed in the rear of my 90, above the back door. The speakers were a left over from when it was used at Edinburgh airport for which it had an air traffic control radio fitted...
