    Advice please for engine removal.

    I'm up to my armpits with taking Norman the 90's engine out to swap the clutch, he is a 1990 200tdi. My question is that I have an engine hoist that I borrowed off a mate, ( he will give me a hand removing the engine), will it be suitable for the 200tdi? even with the front bumper removed I can...

    Norman the 90 is making a funny noise.

    As above, last couple of days I have noticed a bit of a chuffing noise, might have been going on for a while as you cant hear it with the radio competing with the rest of the noises a 200 Tdi 90 makes. OK, so 1990 200 Tdi 90. Around 180k miles. Disco tranny box. From start up everything sounds...

    Windscreen woes

    For the last couple of years I have been promising to get the rubber seal on the windscreen of my 90 (200Tdi) changed, the old seal being old and crusty and generally breaking up. So I have had a new seal in stock waiting for me to pluck up the cohones to get on with it, being a bit wary of the...

    Classic What fluid for lt77 gearbox ?

    As title really, I want to change the gearbox fluid on Buttercup, 5 speed lt77 gearbox (1988). I have searched this site and the wider internet and am having trouble getting what I think I should be using. There is a long post on here somewhere that I found very informative, this suggested using...

    Classic Help please, Buttercup has an oil seal problem.

    Probably not too much of a problem for someone who knows, but I am getting seriously confused in how to fit replacement front hub oil seals. I have an LR workshop manual - the big grey book - and the method of fitting seals seems to conflict with other information I have. Right then ; - from the...

    Classic Buttercup has a leak

    Am I worrying about nowt, or should I start to panic. Got back from a run yesterday and when the doris got out she said "your leaking something" meaning the Rangie, and sure enough liquid was dripping onto the ground just behind the rear right mud-flap. Anyway, took the shopping into the house...

    Classic Rear wiper problems.

    For a while now I have been having trouble with the rear wiper on Buttercup - 1988 2.4 VM - removed and cleaned the contacts on the switch, twice, each time seemed to fix the problem of the wiper not working. The last time I did it a couple of months ago, everything seemed ok after. Then today...

    200Tdi timing belt change

    Hi guys and gals, it is coming up to time for me to change the timing belt on me 200Tdi 90. I have never done this before and am a little nervous about just how much I can get wrong while doing it, I also don't have a timing pin kit. I am sure I have read somewhere about a method of changing by...

    Classic Brake problem ?

    Hi all, I may have a problem developing with the brakes on Buttercup, (1988 2.4 VM) The other day approching a junction I applied the brakes briefly some distance away to knock some of the speed off, nearer the junction - say 150 yards @ 20/25 mph - I touched the brakes again to come down to...

    Classic Oil change in covid land

    This year what with the virus and confinement etc I have done about 500 miles in Buttercup since her last oil change in January of this year. Does the team think (careful careful) I should change the oil? Or will it be alright for another few thousand miles, assuming I get to drive it in 2021??

    Classic Central unlocking.

    Buttercup has always been a bit hit and miss with the central locking. When I turn the key in the drivers lock to unlock everything works as it should, all doors are unlocked fine. But about 8 times out of 10 when locking the passenger side rear door needs to be opened and locked by hand on the...

    Winch wireing

    I am just about to start installing on my 90, an old Superwinch X9 that came off a Disco I scrapped. I think I have plenty of heavy cable at hand, including that which was originally fitted, the Disco battery being much closer to the front than the 90. Included in the original feed was this...

    Light guards don't fit

    Hi all, purchased some light guards for the front of my 200 Tdi, seems to me that the angles that the guards meet the front of the wing are wrong. The top of the guard where it bolts to the wing above the light surround would probably fit good enough, but I think the bottom needs to be cut to...

    Snap on "Torq o meter"

    I have the chance to buy one of these, brand new in case but without instructions, from a shop that sells discontinued/surplus/bankrupt stock. At €50 it is a bargain, at least it would be if I knew what it did and how to use it ! As far as I remember it is calibrated to 250 something or other...

There is continuity from the fuse to the end of the loom in the rear 1/4 of the tub, I have dismantled the switch and cleaned the contacts and this now works (didn't before) the relay seems to work in that it will trigger power to light a test...

    Classic Rear diff problems

    Hi all, 1988 VM classic. I think there might be a problem with the input bearing on my rear diff. Had a bit of a noise (again :mad::mad:) yesterday, grinding/wirring coming from the transmission, got home and had a quick feel around underneath and everything seemed OK except the nose of the rear...

    Classic Air con re-gas problem

    1988 2.4 VM classic. Took the old girl to a garage this morning to have a chat with their air-con guru. Basically I wanted to know if it would be safe for me to put a belt onto the compressor for them to do a diagnostic on the system, tell me what parts I needed to replace - if any - and book...
