I was having a bit of a worry about the amount of noise coming from my 200tdi. I went to check the oil (it needed a little topping up but was fine) and then remembered that the dipstick tube had been a bit loose last time I checked the oil. It seemed OK now, but the engine sounded loud and low...

Sorry but my Haynes doesn't have it and I can't use RAVE on a Mac. What is the torque setting for the big nut on the transfer box that holds the flange with the captive bolts to attach the front propshaft? Defender 1993 200tdi.

I am replacing my front propshaft (200tdi 1993 90). I have taken the old one off and I can't remember which way round it was. Can anyone tell me?

My Turbo is on it's last legs. The main stealer has quoted £750 for a replacement and the best price I can see for a new one is £445 from Paddocks:eek:. I have spotted a second hand one on eBay but this is from a 2000 engine. I understand LR changed the Turbo in 2001 and there are two part...

Does anyone know about these people?: About Legs I sent an exchange gearbox back to them at the end of last year and they haven't refunded me. Now none of their phones are being answered and they aren't going to message.......

I have some old Disco alloys I want to put on a 1993 90 200Tdi. They are a tight fit over the hubs where they touch at the end of the spokes, but they go on by tightening the wheelnuts (:doh: I know). I did a :search: and it looks like putting them on like this will end up weakening the...

:(The wife's Disco 2('04 TD5) is a non-starter. I was in a hurry yesterday, started it, reversed quickly and stalled it after about 10- yards. Since then it won't start with the following christmas lights whilst turning it over. - self levelling yellow - "off-road" light - after a couple of...

One of my rear shocks is corroded and one of my fronts had a slight leak. MOT is coming up, so I need to replace them. It's a 90 200tdi which I use mainly on the road. It gets a little off road on our own fields when it is needed. We also have a terrible track which gives the suspension a...

Yes probably for putting up another veg oil post. Fire away. I have spent ages researching veg oil for my Defender 200Tdi on this site and elsewhere. There is loads of advice out there and loads of nifty kit. It looks like I could spend hundreds of pounds and many hours on biodiesel or fit...

Does anyone have a picture of a red defender with Black wheels*? Or just some Disco alloys in black? I am refurbing some and I'm not sure whether to go silver or white. *not on a hill obviously;)

I picked up a set of tatty disco wheels for not much money. I want to put them on the Defender, but clean them up a bit first. One half of me says polish them carefully for 60 hours each by hand. The other half says go at them with a wire brush on an angle grinder. The third half is...

I noticed a noise in the dash that sounded like a fan rattling. Opened the panel under the steering wheel and started poking around. Felt a small fan which is to the right of the steering wheel behind a little grille which I had always assumed hid a beep/alarm sounder. What is the fan for...

Now I have the new disk and pads on the caliper won't fit back on. There isn't enough clearance for the caliper to come down over the outer pad. Is the upper caliper guide meant to move in and out? Mine is fixed. Any suggestions?

I am changing the brake discs on our Disco and the philips screw that holds on the disc is knackered. Any advice on how to get this out now?:confused:

My 200tdi is getting a bit slow, especially on hills. I want to have a go at getting some more power back. I have just changed the air filter and reset the valve clearances which did make an improvement. So what should I do next? Next steps are likely to be: - Checking air/turbo pipes for...

I have tried a :search:but I can't find it. The Haynes manual doesn't seem to have it either. Approx how much fluid do you need to bleed the system?

I have a blanked off hole in my dash next to the temp gauge. Nature hates a vacuum (except in my wallet), so what should I put in it and where can I get it? Suggestions? Inclinometer/ compass seems to be the obvious one, but searches come up blank.

I just bought an isolator switch with a removable "key". I want to fit it on the starter motor earth if this will work, but I want the switch body to be somewhere accessible so I actually bother to use it. Has anyone done this, if so how?
