Hi, I could do with some advice please. When ever i go on long journeys doing around 60mph - 75mph for a long time my temperature gauge decides to have a mind of it's own. It goes right across to past the red mark and generally just bounces about, then if I pull over and turn the engine off...

Hi, could someone tell me what voltage my Defender battery should be reading with the ignition off. And also what should the alternator be kicking out when it's started? Cheers Terra Dog. P.S the battery is a long Halfrauds one. It looks the right size, i'm just having a few problems starting...

Hi, I'm about to attemp to remove the starter motor on my 200tdi defender. I was wondering, i had a look earlier and could only see the bottom nut/bolt secureing it. How many bolts are holding it on and how many wires will i have to undo? Will it come out through the bottom or do i have to get...

Hi all, i have recently changed the steering box on my Defender 200tdi. I have posted a similar thread before but got no answer to the problem which is why i'm posting again. Today I had all the ATF fluid drained and renewed hoping it would solve the problem, but no joy, the ATF keeps pumping...

Hi all. I was just wondering how the ATF Fluid in my power steering resevoir has become creamy, or should I say where has the water entered the system. I went greenlaning yesterday and went through a couple of fords on route, not extremly deep, less than door sill height, although the bow wave...

Hi all. I have recently tightened my power steering belt because the steering was very notchy on tick over. Tightening the belt cured the notchy steering problem, but it has now developed a whining noise when the steering is turned. I also noticed on the way home just that it was starting to...

Hi, I have recently fitted a new steering box to my 1991 90 Defender. From what I was told the new steering box was off a TD5 but it fitted exactly the same and works fine. Apart from the damn resovoir keeps leaking ATF when I top it up. At the moment the ATF isn't showing on the...

Hi All, I have noticed today that when travelling forwards especially at speed my 90 defender pulls vigorously to the left and also when accelerating (but not as much when accelerating). From what I can gather it has all started happening since I hit a tree log with the front left wheel and...

Hi there, please could you tell me whether I should be able to feel air blowing from the oil filler cap hole when the cap is removed? I have just replaced my head gasket and was told that before I replaced it I shouldn't be able to feel any air blowing through the hole. It's a Defender...

Hi Guys, i was just wondering if anyone knows why when i'm on tickover the steering on my 90 Defender 200tdi judders like a bitch and is really heavy to turn. It doesnt make much difference if i rev it either. However for some strange reason when I go through fords and the engine bay gets wet...

Hi all, I recently had a new starter motor fitted to my 200tdi 90 and since I've had it fitted I've been through a few fords, nothing major with regards to wading just going fast through some shallow fords. Then yesterday after not starting her for a week she wouldn't start just a single...

Hi, I was just wondering whether anyone else has the same problem I have with my handbrake. When I release the handbrake after it's been pulled on I have to physically push it to the off position. This is where the question i'm asking comes into place. Should the handbrake spring back to the...

Hi guys, i don't know whether it's me looking out for stuff or whether it has always done it, haven't driven the landy for a couple of weeks so not sure. My 90 200tdi defender sounds like it's whining at about 3000rpm then after that it's ok, i think it does it only in 3rd and 4th gear also...

Hi all, i'm just wondering, and have been since I got the landy, how far over/up a bank can you take a Defender 90 before it topples onto it's side. I have done it a few times where it feels as if it could topple at any time. Or am I asking a stupid question? Cheers Terra Dog P.S any pics...

Hi all, is it right that the rubber drain off condom thingy is suppose to fill up will oil on my 90 defender 200tdi? I took it off today for the second time in two weeks after not running the landy much and it was full of oil again. I would say about 150ml ran out when I took it off. Im talking...

Hi all, i was just wondering that if when i start my 200tdi defender up, whether it should give out black/grey smoke? And also when i rev it, it smokes also but not as bad as when it first starts. When i rev it its grey smoke? Cheers Terra Dog :confused:

Hi All, Got in the landy today after having the starter motor and alternator fixed only to find the windscreen washer is'nt working. The rear washer works fine and the windscreen wipers come on when i press the washer to work but no washer. I've checked the fuse and obviously because the wipers...

Hi all, does my 1991 200tdi 90 defender have a catalyst? I know it has a stainless steel Janspeed exhaust from front to back, but was wondering if they came with them as standard? Cheers Terra :confused:

Hi all, i am just in the process of having a new sterter motor fitted to my 1991 Defender 90 200di. The alternator was was replaced for a brand new one at just the cost of the alternator, because my dad and uncle fitted it. But the starter motor, which is a bosch one is costing me £180...
