Hi Group - Ive always thought the rev counter on my V8 read high. Today i removed it from the dash and guess what - its stamped up 6cyl! 2 questions will the indicated revs be showing 33% high or 25% high? What should i consider the rev limit to be and max advised contiuous revs? many thanks

Hi Group - this question is loosely rover related cos i tow my boat with a 90 and its got a rover V engine! Ive always been a bit unhappy with the fuel gauge sender - its a simple float affair with sliding contacts onto a coil to give a variable resistance. My concern is that this is mounted...

Hi all - i have a problem that seems to be slowly getting worse. I have a loud "clicking/clunking" coming from either the front axle or transfer box particularly when under heavy load. It does it both on lock and when strait ahead. Ive check prop ujs (one has a bit of play and will be replaced...

Hi all - in need of a bit of advice - put a 200tdi in my old 90 a couple of years ago - used a steve parker adaptor, the front pipe off the disco, the original tail pipe and back box - 2.5 n/a and welded a bit of 2 inch pipe in place of the middle box. This has worked ok up untill 9.00pm last...

Hi Group, got 2 minor problems which someone may be able to advise: Old 90 fitted with disco 200 tdi: 1 - started great in the summer and runs well when hot. Still starts now in this sub zero climate but sounds like its on 2 or 3 pots for a short while with more than usual blue smoke - is this...

In the process of rear chassis repair and decided to remove rear floor rather than removing tub complete. there was a chequer plate overlay which came out fairly easily, then lots of grinding and baging and whats left of the original floor is out. The three steel cross members are in ok nick and...

I didnt want to jump on the back of previous post but I have a prob with my nineties wipers too - at the end of each stroke there is a loud click and the wipers jump slightly - they are still working ok. would a new rack cable sort this out too? many thanks steve

Hi all - noticed yesterday that my offside rear spring is making rapid progress though the upper turret/location that is an integral part of the chassis. are these items that can be sourced complete and welded on or do I have to get me tin snips out? It looks like a rear tub off to do the job...

Hi all, am about to start swapping front axle internals from a disco 1 into my '84 90 leaving axle casing in place (have unbolted disc swivels at the axle flange and removed swivel, hub disc and half shafts complete). question is will my original brake caliper units bolt back onto the disco...

Hi all - trying to cut corners as usuall - want to swap diff and swivels from a disco axle which I know is in good nick onto my old 90 - question is, can swivel/disc/half shaft assemblies be withdrawn complete by unbolting from the end of the axle tube? then simply a matter of swapping diffs...

Ive just bought a second hand disco front axle to replace the knackered front one on my old 90. Having taken 4 of us to load it up and remove it at my place, im wondering if its possible to leave my old axle casing in place and fit the disco diff, swivels drive shafts etc (retain 90 calipers)...

Just looking on fleabay at options for replacing front axle complete on my old 90. There are several disco axles in my area, some 10 spline and some 24 spline - whats the best option please and anything else I should be looking for?? thanks steve

Hi all - i have a B reg 90. I did some work on the front axle 3 years ago when I first had the truck - swivel bearings, wheel bearings and seals. Its now got lots of backlash in the drive at the front and often clunks two or three times when cornering under load. I seem to recollect when it was...

Finally got MrH (thats what my 90 is called) back up and running after replacing the missing rear cam shell. I managed to remove the cam without taking the head off by removing the rocker shaft and tipping the engine upside down! The new shell was a good drive fit into the block still but i used...

Hi all rebuilding my engine after stripping out cam etc and have just fitted new timing belt and tensioner but I am not 100% happy. Pegged off fuel pump and left it bolted to back plate, cam centre pop marker is dead on the cast lug, crank is lined up with arrow on timing housing but groove in...

Hi All - have finally got round to removing my engine to fix low oil pressure - rear cam shell has fallen out and wrapped around cam lobe. question is, do replacement shells come finish size or do they need machining once fitted? thanks steve

I have an intermittent prob with my old 90 - more noticeable after a long run - when coming to a standstill there is an unpleasant graunching noise which comes from the front end at what i would guess was road wheel speed and its not the brakes. Ive made sure the handbrake isnt rubbing. My only...

Hi All - have finally confirmed reason for low tickover oil pressure - borrowed an endoscope and removed inspection plates - THERE IS NO SHELL IN REAR HOUSING!!! I cant explain this - there was no debris in the sump and no visible damage to the cam or housing. My questions are: Is there a...

Hi all - ive asked this in the past with no real positive response - just want to try again before I resort to stripping it down - 200 tdi with 150k - has about 6 - 8 psi at tickover when hot and warning light flickers - pressure up to 30 - 40 psi at 1500rpm. Have replaced mains and big ends -...
