Hi All, PLEASE Can someone give me some urgent help. I've been trying to put up my very rear fold up seats, but although I can turn them, and lock them to the floor, I cant pull the back part up on either of them so the seats are upright! i've followed the instructions as in the hand book, but...

Only selling this as its to big for my wife to drive and park, really gutted. so am selling for £3,500, or looking for small car in px with about £500 my way. not too fussed about age, but would prefer something about 05 onwards, and 1200cc or below. But must be auto, (as she passed her test on...

Hi all. I've got an apparently uncommon problem. so uncommon my local landrover dealer themselves have never changed one! and that is I have a 2001 disco TD5 auto, and apparently the flex plate in the gearbox has gone. now interestingly it was replaced at 87,000 miles by one of the previous...

Does anyone know of anywhere in The Dover area? yes I could do it myself, but a pro would do it better,and I wont get covered in the stuff like I've done so many other times in past with other classics I've restored:rolleyes: besides I'm moving and don't have time, but would like it done soon...

Hi All. An easy one for you guys. I have just got a auto 2001 disco with a TD5 engine. It's just clocked up 100k with a full service history (mostly landrover) 2 questions really, on the history I cant find anything that says it has had the timing belt changed. So is it a rubber belt or a timing...

Hello all, I've just got a very nice 2001 disco TD5. Only fault I can find is the rear seat wont lift up to the side. when I turn the bar it doesnt release it from the floor. is this a common problem? and if so, how can I fix it, or at least free it for time being. any tips or tricks here would...

I have a 200tdi disco converted engine in my defender which runs fine, but recently just noticed a puddle of oil under the car. it appears that the oil leak is dripping out of the downpipe exhaust joint! how can I have oil leaking out of my exhaust?? if so whats causing it. it otherwise drives...

First sorry about the spelling, can never spell beaulea right, and nether can my spell checker! lol. Anyway, they normally have an 'old sodbury's' venue in either april, may and or september. But cant find it in any of the forthcoming dates in the mags. Has anyone got the dates for the venue...

Apparently soon the MOT is to include wiring, plus a few other things. (see list below) And apparently one of the things they are including amoungst other stuff is your parking brake light must be working. I dont think mine ever has! I have an 87 defender 90. Can I ask if anyone else has a...

I've just put a disco 200tdi in my 87 defender with the LT77 box, I've rigged up a snorkel, and made everything water tight (i think anyway) But I want to do the same with the axles and gear/trasfer box. The wading kit I am getting cosists of all the connections, plus piping, and main consol I...

I have just bought a new snorkel off ebay. It's the one with the mushroom top, all metal apart from a rubber flexi pipe joining the upper and lower section. Apparently they are designed to fit into the side air vents on your wing. (mine goes on the passenger side by the way) anyway, the problem...

As some of you know I've just taken out a V8, and put in a 200tdi, and I also put in a proper full 200tdi exhaust system. (everything runs well and great since the conversion by the way) The only thing I dont like is the back box on the 200tdi exhaust hangs down quite low. Has anyone else who...

I recently installed a T-Max split charge relay for my twin batts as I have a winch. Anyway it seemed to be working ok when I had the V8 in, but since I installed the 200tdi I've been having probs with it. then that could be a coincidence? The problem is my batterys were always going flat...

I've just done a 200tdi disco engine conversion in my 87 defender. I thought I may as well put a new thermostat in as I dont know the history of the old one. Does anyone have any idea where it's located? and how I fit it? i.e. do I have to take anything apart first to get to it? And can I do...

Can anyone settle this for me once and for all, as I'm getting very frustrated and annoyed with 'Paddocks' now! My problem is as some of you may know, I'm doing a discovery engine conversion into my 87 defender. I have completed the conversion now apart from fitting the exhaust,(exhust part is...

I have asked this before without any replies, so thought I'd put pics this time so people can see what I'm talking about. I was told this little white plastic dome thing with the terminal on top goes in where I have it in the picture, is this right? I've not seen any others in that place before...

Can anyone advise me with this? I had a cut off engine harness when I got my donor 200tdi engine, but not sure where to connect the fuel solenoid wire too? I have the connections (the black connector going to the solenoid, and I also have a white plastic dome with a spade terminal on top, and a...

As some know, i've taken out a petrol V8 and put in a 200tdi in my defender. I've just about got all the wiring sussed out now, (I think) the only thing in my cut off engine loom that I dont know where it goes too on the vehicle loom is the wire from the fuel solenoid. (the one that goes to the...

I'm doing the 200tdi conversion by myself. I have managed to get out the V8, and am now trying to fit the 200tdi to the gearbox. I have got it to the stage where the studs are just touching the gearbox, infact one of them is only just in the stud hole by about 1mm. I'm pushing and shoving like...
