    defender heater motor replacement

    Well , having removed the heater unit we discovered the fan was working after all when connected to a 12v battery, but not when connected on the loom. Question was what was causing that problem. We checked all the connections for continuity and they seemed ok. I removed the glass fuse to check...

    Erratic temperature reading !

    Rhis mornings update So i turned the switch, i didnt start her, just turned on ignition and noted zero temperature. Then i left her on for an hour and when i checked back still zero. So i guess i can discount temperature sender as the problem. So now I'm deffo thinking its a pump problem, why or...

    Thanks for those. I did think i might try the alternator up there but i will have to look at the mounting of the ps pump too i have been gathering photos from various other places and trying to decide what bit and pieces i need to make it happen Am getting there, albeit slowly ;-)

    Erratic temperature reading !

    Yes, it's a 1993 ex Disco 200tdi It was fine up to a couple of weeks ago, then wasn't move ontil a couple of days ago and this happened It always had a high reading on the temperature gauge so i had inserted a 120ohm resistor is series and that worked fine. Then recently i decided the Steve...

    Erratic temperature reading !

    Thank you for the replies, Indeed I did suspect the sender and wiring, so today I replaced the sender (Steve Parker one) and replaced a good length of the cable. The old one was a rather haphazzard affair done by someone previously just added apiece with twisted connection. I added fresh cable...

    Erratic temperature reading !

    Well maybe it's not erratic, but I am mystified as to why the gauge is nearly in the red when i turn the ignition on. I have checked the earth from the battery and it's well earthed. There doesn't seem to be any problem on the wiring to the gauges ie the clock is running fine and it uses the...

    Converting 1985 LR90 2.5n/a to Disco 200tdi

    Hello, as the heading says that's the plan, however.... I thought it might be a good idea to use Defender 200tdi inlet & exhaust manifolds to get over that upper exhaust pipe problem.....it wasn't... Because now I have a very slippery belt setup on power steering pump. Ideally I will have to...
