Hi Everyone. Just been offered a galvanised chassis that appear that it would suit my 200tdi 90. Its from a non started project though, so we're not sure if there is any paperwork or anything to come with it and we're not sure who made it either. If I build my car on to a chassis like that...

Hi everyone and happy new year, if we're still doing that. About a week ago I was driving the P38a Diesel around all day long and then had to go on a run up north in it. I got about as far as Derby, which is and hour and half from home when I stopped for a coffee. Coming back out of the...

There are some Galv' 90 chassis' for sale on ebay: 184457797007 but they are advertised as a NAS chassis' which will take a 200tdi engine.... but as far as I knew NAS' 90's were V8s so they had different engine mounts to the TDi engines and NAS chassis' had a different rear cross member and...

After driving home last week with a lovely "crunchy bearing" noise coming from under my 1992 200tdi D90 and also getting home to find my handbrake was non existent, i decided to replace my transfer box. Today ive got the replacement used transfer box in place with the mounts back in but ive...

Hi everyone. Just replaced the clutch hydraulics on my factory built LHD 200tdi D90 but i cant seem to get the pedal to spring back to its rest position without physically lifting the pedal up by hand. The master and slave cylinders have been replaced along with all three pipes that go between...

Hi everyone. Ive got a used Eberspacher D2 heater, probably from a Transit. The guy i bought it off did show me it working but ive completely forgotten how he wired it up for me. He had it going off a car battery with the pump drawing fuel from a 5l can, so I know its not rocket science to get...

Just taken the p38 out after doing a heap of work on it. Basically all the half shafts have been out and just about everything between those and the wheel has been replaced, including the CV joints and ABS rings. Everything to do with the brakes after the hard brake lines has been replaced...

Evening everyone. Hope your surviving the heat. This week, im about to get stuck into the axles on the P38a, 1997 2.5 DT. The front axle needs one CV joint and boot, so im doing both. Ill be in there anyway so ill change the ball joints as well and all this began because it was time to do...

The last few days ive noticed a noise like a squeaky prop shaft UJ coming from the transmission tunnel area of my 1992 200tdi 90 Defender. Having had a look underneath the propshaft UJs dont seem bad at all but I notice that I can turn the front prop about a 1/4 turn by hand with all four...

Hi everyone. Im still getting to grips with the factory built 1992 200tdi 90 i dragged out of a hedge back in October last year. Its running and driving now but I just cant get my head around a few electrical issues im experiencing. Ive got all the lights working except for the front near side...

Evening all. Suppose I should have sorted this out a while ago but its never been high on the priority list. The P38 hasn't sounded particularly smooth for the last year or so as the timing chain always sounded like it was becoming a bit rattley to me. After replacing the leak off pipes...

Good afternoon everyone. Just trying to resurrect my 300tdi Discovery after letting it languish in a hedge for the last five or so years. I did have it running last week but then it died on me and I couldn't get it started again. I replaced the fuel filter and lift pump but that didnt really do...

Hi everyone. On Sunday morning I shall be picking up my "new" 1992 200 tdi Defender 90, which shall sit on the drive beside my 300 tdi Disco and my P38, so the house will look like a mid nineties Land Rover dealership from now on. The 90 is a hardtop and has scabby body cappings on it which I...

Good evening everyone. Haven't been around for a while, mainly as the old girl has been behaving herself. Who ever said P38s were unreliable? Anyway. Just got home and noticed a small patch of fuel leaking on to the drive from under the Range Rover. First inspection shows that the back of the...

Morning everyone. Jumped in the Range Rover the other day only to find (for the first time since I bought it 10 years ago) the old girl wouldnt start. Injectors were dry, so I put on a new fuel filter on.. still no luck though. So then I took the fuel filter off to see how much fuel was...

Well, if it’s not one thing it’s another...... ive not long cleanEd the p38 to within an inch of its life.... last time I did that a very large willow tree fell on it and smashed the tailgate and rear quarter to bits...... this time i was thoroughly enjoying my drive home from the chippy with...

Being as we’re all in lockdown I’ve taken my P38 off the road for a few weeks to make some basic improvements and repairs..... and I think it’s looking all the better for it. One thing I’ve done is fitted some footwell lamps that my car never had fitted. No loom in the car for them and I didn’t...

[/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] Might sound like an unusual question, but that paint code is Epsom Green, isnt it? The car has never been resprayed, no sign of a colour change under the carpets or anywhere else, but as ive got no need or desire to get rid of this car, and ive got a big pile of very...

My steering column height adjuster has gone floppy and I need to get the column cowl off to see whats going on. The telescopic bit works fine but the column wont lock in position on the up and down motion so I need to get the cowl off to see whats going on. Ive got the four obvious screws out...

This Christmas is the first chance ive had since last summer to replace the cylinder head of the P38. Sure enough, when I removed it, the crack in the head was immediately apparent between the valves on the second cylinder. Anyway, now a replacement (and pressure tested) head is fitted and im...
