Hi all Unfortunately I sold my 90 a few months ago now (still really miss it tho :mad: ) but something I was working on at the time was how to spam this forum. All feedback welcome (he says holding up a shield, I know what some of you are like!) Cheers Richard

Take a Land Rover Discovery seat, a broken office chair, an angle grinder, and a welder... and this is what I came up with... :D

Random question I know but has anybody got contact details for someone high up in Land Rover's marketing dept? Cheers Richard

Hi I'm thinking of trying a few lanes up near Ripon on Saturday morning if anyone fancies joining me? They were in LRO a few months ago and it looks like a fairly decent complex of lanes. Ilton, Ripon, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom - Google Maps Just let me know! Richard

My old exhaust was on it's last legs anyway but on my last green laning trip it managed to snap it off just behind the middle box :doh: There's also a hole in the rear silencer too so the lot just needs replacing. Someone had said to fit a 90 200TDi system so that's what I ordered from Paddocks...

Anyone tried it before and any tips - my snowboard is in the back on the Landy ready for tomorrow :D For those that haven't heard of it - see good old YouTube :) YouTube- towboarding at 35 mph

I just went to fill up with fuel and the flipping key broke in the fuel filler cap lock :mad: Any ideas on how to remove it? Was just going to drill it out but worried about bits dropping inside fuel tank... Any ideas appreciated asap as I need to be out and about in an hour, grrrrr!!!

I noticed last week that my reverse light had stopped working and assumed it just needed adjusting as that is all it needed last year when the same thing happened - but no... :doh: I tried adjusting the switch and it made no difference so I went back to basics and checked the bulb. Bulb was...

Does anyone else in or around Leeds/York fancy a little trip out to do some lanes in the next couple of weeks? Cheers Richard

Well after all the help I've had on Landyzone I though it was only right to post a how to guide on exactly how I carried out my engine conversion in my 90 from a TD to a Disco 200TDi. Below is a complete guide of how I did it and I've created a PDF file of the process that includes some...

Well after finally completing my TD to 200TDi conversion last weekend my 90 was in for it's MOT today which of course had expired while it was in bits :confused: Good news! It passed with just a couple of minor bits to sort out :D:D:D It only needed a rear wheel bearing tightening and a...

Well I'm in the final stages of my engine conversion (had it running now at least :D) but got a couple of questions for anyone else with a Disco 200TDi fitted to their Defender. 1. Header tank - Is the Disco tank used or the old Defender one? Also, using which hose? I've tried a couple of...

I'm currently putting a 200TDi from a Disco into my Defender. I just wanted to check what is the correct way to fit a 200TDi rear crank oil seal? The old one in the flywheel housing was an absolute git to remove. It was stuck to the housing so had to be chipped off bit by bit with a chisel to...

Well after a few weeks away I've eventually got started on the engine conversion to put a Disco 200TDi into my Defender after the 2.5TD engine died... On Saturday I got everything disconnected and tried to pull it with the engine crane but it wouldn't budge. Found the culprit - 2 top...

As my old TD engine is now dead I'm looking to replace it with a 200TDi :) I've had a couple offered now which I'm going to see this week, both are currently sat in Disco's and still connected/running. Any tips on what to look out for? And checks to do? Also, one has done 150K but apparently...

Well I had a great day planned today out laning but have just arrived back on the back of an AA van :( After some fairly steep A road hills my engine (2.5TD) developed a loud knock in line with revs. It didn't sound great but didn't appear to have affected performance much. Typically this was...

Has anybody got any laning trips planned for this weekend (27th/28th July) anywhere near me (Leeds/York)? If so then would you mind if I tagged along as I haven't been out to play for a while? Cheers Richard

I'm fitting a snorkel but due to "complications" I'm going to have to run a rubber pipe from the bottom of the metal upright, down through the wing, and up to the airbox. This is about 1.5 metres long and has an ID of 69mm - any ideas where I'll be able to get one from? Cheers Richard

Today's my birthday and my lovely fiance has bought me a snorkel :D So I unwrapped it all this morning and it is a Bearmach BA 2124A (all metal jobbie) designed for 2.5TD/200TDi. The first step of the instructions say to remove the plastic grill from the outside of the wing but my 2.5TD...
