just wondering if anyone knows of the whereabouts of a certain Range Rover? Plate on it is K72 HRP, in green, jacked up to the clouds, big wheels flared arches etc. I saw it the other day parked in the car park of a sale in ruthin north wales, and realized it was my cousin that built it a few...

A bit of background to this one, I've got an ex-discovery 300 egr engine in my defender, all mounted up in the factory position and I've decided to time it "properly". Rave suggests the plunger lift for egr is 1.40mm @ tdc, which mine was thereabouts, and 1.54mm for non-egr. Last night the dti...

can anyone shed any light on why these rear shocks aren't sitting right? It's a disco 24 spline axle on a 1992 200tdi 90 chassis with police spec red/white springs. Everything is fitted as per including the domed washers either side of the bushes and nothing appears bent? Is there a difference...

Finally I've got the old girl back on the road in full 300tdi factory guise, engine, box floor plates etc, but for some reason the clutch feels high? It's had a new clutch kit while it was all stripped, the systems fully bled with a good pedal, and I've adjusted the pedal position today to the...

Last night I got around to dropping the 300tdi tunnel into the defender, but it appears for all the world as though it's too short? I've got roughly 1/4 inch gap at the rear between the seat box and tunnel, and the same at the front where it meets the bulkhead. On the surface it seems like...

Guys and girls I'm really stuck with this one. Defender 200tdi, reversing light isn't working. I know I know it's a dead simple one but get this... Just finishing up fitting r380 so naturally I've got the newer type switch, with is working a treat. I've got power in, power out, and I've got 12v...

I hadn't realized until tonight that the top water hoses from 300 disco to 300 def were different part numbers, as is the top intercooler hose? Can anyone shed any light on why?

If there's anyone doing a bit on there 90 today, I'm begging for a quick measurement from rear diff flange to hand brake drum, at standard ride height if possible. Just want to make sure everything is lined up before I put seat box back in. Thanks in advance

Looking to relocate my power steering reservoir to the nearside wing as per factory 300tdi as part Of the conversion, because I'm struggling to make the 200tdi pipes work. Does anyone know the part numbers for the correct 300tdi pipe work where the bottle is mounted on the nearside?

Just a quick one, slowly I'm getting the r380 conversion back together, but I'm not sure if I've been had off with the wrong props. Standard defender r380, in factory position coupled to 300tdi, I've got FRC8386 up front which I had in the shed from an old disco, and FRC8393 at the back...

Right, it goes like this. Last few weeks I've been converting my 300tdi/lt77 to a full factory spec 300/def r380, and as part of the job, I've decided to ditch the disco transfer box I originally had, and go for a proper defender version. I managed to find a 40k mile def td5 box for a steal, did...

Just a quick one, I've got the above pair of springs in my workshop which i bought new a while ago, fitted them and then removed them because I found them so bloody hard. I'm wanting to soften up the fender from standard, and possibly lift it. From reading Devon 4x4 website, there are bearmach...

Just a quick one guys, looking for opinions on which shocks you've all tested and how they behave. I've done quite a fair bit if searching but my criteria seems a bit different to most. Basically it's a hardtop 90 on disco 300 axles, and I want to soften it up. It's a farm motor which I use...

I'm in the process of gathering up all the bits and pieces I need to convert my 90 from lt77 to r380. It's already got a 300tdi but I'm going balls out this spring to change the box and out the engine in the right position. I know I need floor plates, seat box rear prop etc but I'm struggling...

Does anyone have any ideas why the throttle response would be lazy on my 300tdi non EDC? The landy goes pretty well she's not down in power, but there's quite a delay from pressing the pedal to the revs picking up? When pushing the throttle by hand it's really noticeable almost as though the...

Anyone shed any light into what green this is? Was thinking coniston green but now I'm doubtful. I've contacted land rover and it's not listed against the chassis number, nor is it stamped on VIN plate. i know it's a common question but I have tried :)

Just removed my centre seat to fit a cubby box, and there's a large vinyl flap of some sorts attached to the bulkhead behind the seats. Anyone shed any light on what it's for? Seems a bit pointless but I'm guessing land rover fitted it for a reason?

I've fallen on the strangest headlamp query... Up until the other day my headlamps (defender 200) have always worked fine. I've changed the stewing column for a 48 spline, plugged all the dash harness back in as per, and the headlamps will only work in dim dip. Having searched and searched I've...

Evening chaps, does anybody know for sure if land rover used the same mounting points for steering columns throughout the years? I've been searching high and low and found out all the info regarding type a wheels and type c etc, 36 and 48 spline, but I want to track down a 48 spline column to...

hi all, just a quick one, ive got a boost gauge plumbed directly to the manifold on my 300tdi converted 90, and im noticing shes boosting at roughly 3/4 bar when cruising at 65 ish on the bypass. to those who have gauges fitted, can you have a look at yours when doing the same sort of driving...
