Hi all sold my old 90 a few weeks back, it was a shame but 22 years old, rusty chassis, second vehicle - she had to go. I am planning to now sell my Merc E320 estate, to help fund a Disco 3. I will have about £10K budget, and I dont know too much about Discos, so would appreciate some advice...

Hi all, been a while since I posted on this forum, and it is with heavy heart that I have reached the decision to sell the old girl. So here you are, warts and all: Red 1993 (K) 200 tdi hard top van, pretty much unmolested from new, no silly lift kits or shocks or wide wheels or anything like...

Hi there, been a while since I posted on here. It is with heavy heart that I have reached the conclusion that I probably ought to sell my treasured 1993 200tdi hard top. Red with white roof. I have had her for 3.5 years, done a fair bit of work, but have never used her enough to warrant...

Hi, I jumped in my 200tdi this morning, not used for a couple of weeks, and the clutch pedal has no pressure at all. I can engage gears but no drive, I guess the clutch or cyclinder or something has failed. I need to find someone good and local to fix it. I have seen a land rover around...

The old 93 defender goes for MOT net week, so fingers crossed as usual. I was chatting to the guy on the phone and he told me there are some new items being added as of April this year, most significantly to do with warning lights. Basically if you have an airbag light on, or engine...

Hi all, my 200 tdi has developed a fault with the horn. The horn itself works OK, as I tested it by running wire direct from the battery. The fuse is also OK. I am suspecting it must be the switch in the steering column as I do not get 12 volts at the horn when pressing the stalk in. Any...

Hi all Out this morning and my 200 tdi (original defender engine) squealed and dropped a few bits behind me. Puilled over, steering very heavy, turns out the power steering pump has failed and in a major way. The pulley has sheared right off it, that is what I saw in my rear view mirror...

Hi all, another oil leak thread I'm afraid. I noticed this one adter a 60 mile drive last week. I don't know if this is engine oil or gearbox oil or transfer box oil, I am OK on the tools but not that conversant with whats what under there, can anyone help please? I would like to know what...

I hadnt used the 200 tdi much for 2-3 weeks, but took it out a few times whis week, and I just feel it has lost a little bit of power when accelerating. It still reached same top speeds as begore, but to me it seems more sluggish getting there. I am wondering if I have a problem with the...

Hi all, I noticed a slight leak of what looks like anti freeze/coolant. Dripping from somewhere under roughlyu where the radiator is, difficult to see because dark and rainy. I checked the header tank and it looks OK, so not a major leak. I have however also noticed (and it might just be...

just dropped it off, pick it up tomorrow, not looking forward to that. When I gave the girl the Reg over the phone, she said "Oh well that will fail then!!" as soon as I had started with K !!!!! cross fingers time, I am most worried about rust around the points where the bonnet mounts to the...

Hi there - a couple of questions on MOTs I hope someone can help me with. 1 - Front wipers, they work fine, clear the rain perfectly, squirters are all ok, the only problem is that when they stop, they always stop in a random position - no idea why, so I just jog them to the right position by...

got one of these from Paddocks for Christmas, just this morning had a look at fitting it, no instructions of course. There are 2 odd shaped brackets with about a 15 degree angle on them, but for the life of me eI cant figure out where they go. Has anybody ever fitted one of these...

I know there are a lot of threads on this, and I have searched yes, but I have not found specific answers to my questions so wondered if anybody could help: I want to fit folding rear bench seats to my 90, for occasional use, I have this past week had to rescue several people, and they just...

Has anybody fitted one? I am thinking about this, and looking at this on Ebay. Any advice? What could I expect to run off of this and would the engine need to run the whole time? Don't know much about it yet, just investigating? Thanks 12 volt to 240 volts 1000watt power INVERTER soft...

Changed the thermostat today in my 200 tdi, and now the heater works lovely, and for the first time ever the temp guage gets off the bottom and sits nicely in the middle. I also have muffled the rad at the front, and another little tip - the 2 plastic shrouds that direct the air downwards...

Hi all, is this a big job in a 200tdi? I have the new stat ready to go in, but I am pretty reliant on the defender for the next few weeks as my other car is rear wheel drive and awful in the ice, and I am very busy doing approx 100 miles a day. I might have a go at it tomorrow, I have all...
