    Griffin Performance

    Hi all, It has been a while since i've been on here as i haven't really had anything go wrong with my defender in... well... ages! :eek: But anyway that's a different story now as I've gone out and bought myself a 53 plate Discovery Td5 because i fancied something that was a bit more...

    200Tdi wiring fault. Sudden no electrics

    Not a bad shout at all, but that has made me think more in detail. When the problem is occurring i have no battery, it doesn't seem to be in the circuit. The power i am relying on is whatever my alternator is producing. I think i have worked out that the reason i am loosing power when i...

    200Tdi wiring fault. Sudden no electrics

    Hey it's been a while since i've been on here but something has popped up that has really confused me. My 1991 Def 90 200Tdi has slowly developed an electrical fault that will suddenly cut power to absolutely everything, including the engine, when i use an electrical auxiliary which consumes...

    All terrain tyres?!

    I second this. very quiet on the road, superb in the snow BUT Do not take them into sloppy mud unless you are prepared to be towed out because in those conditions all they do is slip ... like, all the time! at a pay and play day i got stuck 6 times, most of which in very silly...

    anyone else have a popping truckcab?!

    A friend of mine has recently converted his 90 hardtop into a truck cab and said once he reaches 60 it goes off like a shotgun like you mentioned. He only uses it as a toy and doesn't use it on the road very often so fixing it isn't really top of the list of things to do. He did mention...

    Td5 tailpipe on 200Tdi?

    I suppose its a silly question really as everything can be made to fit, i think i have a pipe size adapter around somewhere which might fit so that shouldn't be a problem. My biggest worry is if it ends up sounding like when i fitted the small tdi silencer, that was horrible. Don't get me...

    Td5 tailpipe on 200Tdi?

    Hi all, I currently have a complete straight through exhaust system on my Defender 200Tdi. I made the rear section myself and when flat out at high revs it has proven to be just a bit too loud. So one day i decide to make a new rear section using the little silencer box found on the mid pipe...

    Do i use a fuse?

    ok thanks for the help, i had all intentions of putting a fuse in but for one second a thought crossed my mind if one was actually needed as it's only a small feed to 'turn-on' the relay via a switch and not the main battery feed to the relay (which i have of course fused). does anybody know...

    Do i use a fuse?

    Just a quick question... Wiring up a few lights and beacon bar to my landy. I'm going to be giving the Carling switches a direct battery feed to switch the relays as i don't want them to be working off any other lights. My question is do i need to fuse this battery feed? i believe Carling...

    Terrafirma 8" HID SpotLamps

    I am considering on getting these spots too but as i have no idea how they perform i am a little reluctant to purchase them. I have seen them on quite a few Land Rovers though.

    Filling holes in Aluminium

    Thanks for the replies After reading comments i reckon i'll probably patch the hole on the seat box for now with a bit of aluminium plate, it isn't much of an issue because i'll soon be carpeting over it so it doesn't have to look anything fancy and i really don't think it's worth getting a...

    Filling holes in Aluminium

    I have a small hole that is slowly corroding and getting bigger on the seat box inside my truck which is letting water in and sound of course. There is also a hole in my intercooler due to the past owner hitting into something and pushing the horn into it. Does anyone know how i would go...

    How the hell do you make this noise!?

    Sounds like a waste-gate to me? but coming from the air intake? ... weird :confused: I love the sound of a diesel turbo waste-gate blow off and wish the turbo was big enough on my 200 to make it. Apparently it is down to the size of the turbo and boost pressure? Which in a way makes sense...

    Excessive smoke with re-furb. Injectors

    As part of a big overhaul on my 90 i decided to have the injectors refurbished because i was getting little symptoms that one wasn't working correctly. With the old injectors I had altered the pump slightly to increase power but at the same time boost economy. i had gotten it perfect in the...

    Clutch Pedal Adjustment....

    i recently decided to get my new g/box in sooner rather than later because it felt like my clutch was on the way out by only biting very high up on the pedal travel ... now everything is back together with a new clutch and fully adjusted up according to haynes, the clutch still engages at the...

    Roof Light Bar

    This is exactly what i have done. Did it one sunday afternoon with relay sat inside the dash so it's kept nice and dry. I did not realise that having them activated with full beam was illegal on the road though :confused:
