Hi, Appologies if this is in the wrong area. Due to an illness my 90 ( 200tdi) has been sat in the garage for about 2 years and unsurprisingly the optima batteries ( yellow & red ) that had been fitted have died, I have tried to recover them my to no avail, i used a lorry battery borrowed...

Hi Mark Are you still dealing in the Optimas? Cheers Kev

Hi Nobber Sorry mate but are you saying it has to be uses in conjunction with a gasket or can it be used as a stand alone sealant?? Cheers

Easy Peasy for some not so for others!!!! Update, having spoken to the garage i told them i would get the car home and tackle the easier items myself such as the rocker cover and sump gasket. Im not sure how the oil pump is done but will have a troll through the forums on here. The landy was...

Yeah but the other issue i have is although keen to learn i am not the most mechanically minded person in the pot :-)

Cheers mate, i will post how things go. One thing though if the engine has to be dropped this is something i cant really do at home hence the reach out for recommeded places near Portsmouth as well/

Cheers Nobber, can that be used in place of any gasket?

Will have to have a chat tomorrow with them, not much point getting the work done if it does not cure it 100% though!!

It leaves a small 30-50 wet stain after parking up James, not a lot i know but i would like to get all the leaks sorted if possible especially as they are comming up as advisories on the reccent MOT. Seemed worth getting done with the car already up at Keith Gotts but the price did seem prety...

With the engine rebuild in mind does anyone know of anyone closer to Portsmouth that would be capable of doing this without ripping us off?? Thanks

Hi all, I have no idea what an engine strengther is which was one of the reasons for the post. I forgot to include the engine was a transfer from a Disco 200tdi. The work is being quoted by Keith Gotts but i will be talking to them tomorrow to find out exactly what is entailed as it does sound...

Hi all, i have a leaky landy, and before you all jump on me saying thats normal, i would just like to point out that if leaks can be cured imho i think they should be. The landy was in recently for an MOT which it passed but with several advisories which included an oil leak in the engine bay. I...

No Idea, putting the clutch in does not seem to make any difference and only happens above 40 !!

That was my initial thought but the garage are suposed to be pretty good landrover guys ( dont want to name them without reason really ) guess we will just have to try and find the issue myself and go back to them if it turns out to be related to something they did!!

They basically installed/hooked up the loom ends. Also fitted in the snorkel hose and filter box. Installed the original Propshafts, exhaust front to back, and bonnet. Nothing really weird. I have read somewhere that the bonnet can also resonate at certain speeds so was thinking about taking...

Hi Vince Yep, already had a look at that, even used bungy cord to hold it well clear of everything for a short test! :(

Hi I have a 90 with a disco 200tdi transplant. It has recently had some work done on it in a land rover specialist after being off road for nearly 3 years with electrical issues. I also has front and rear ARB locks fitted. Now when i drive it above 40mph and then either put the cliutch in or...

I got a similar problem with what sounds like sheet metal rattle when i take my foot of the accelerator after going above 40mph. It does not matter what gear im in 3rd 4th or 5th!! Doesn't happen below 40. UJs were suspect but the garage changed the propshaft as the yoke was also suspect but...

Thanks guys, one less thing to worry about!!!:clap2:

Hi All I am in the process of upgrading the instruments on my 90 from standard to TD5 type. I have all the bits except for the fuel tank sender and cable to the gauge. I have been looking everywhere i can think of but cannot get a definitive answer as to whether i need to change the current...
