Hello, I've had a search and not really found much information (likely because not very common in UK). I'm looking for a block heater for my 200tdi defender 90. It's a UK 90, but now i live in Sweden and is reregistered as a swedish vehicle. In winter it can be very cold, and i expect my...

Hello, I need to fit a load guard between the drivers seat and the back of my 90, so basically the bit between the bulkhead and the roof. I've had a look around and Travall Dog Guard seems quite good, and postage to Sweden seems reasonable too. I have one question, that i've sent to Travall...

Hello, It's been a while since I've posted, hopefully will be back posting more again soon. I'm preparing my 1992 90 for a registration inspection, so was going through things making sure everything was ok. One thing i've noticed is the rear Fog light.....the light itself works, but the...

Since my rebuild of my 1992 200tdi 90 my fuel tank has said it's full. It's fairly full, but I'd imagine 3/4s full. I took the new sender out today and it seems to be working backwards. If i lift up the arm, the fuel gauge goes down, if I let it down it goes up. I thought I'd fitted the wires...

Sold now For sale due to moving and not being able to fit it in :( Clarke mig welder 155t I've had it a few years, I understand it's a fairly old model but it works well still. A year or so ago it had an off day, where the motor for the wire wasn't working. It then started working again so...

I'm expecting to get some abuse for this, as I know how tyre threads usually go. However, from what I can find most people want road tyres that are good off road, or the biggest tyres possible. I'm going to go on a long drive over to Sweden shortly and need to replace my tyres. I've decided to...

Hello, I've just rebuilt my landy, and carried on using my 200tdi that was in the vehicle originally. I plan to rebuild it at some point, though there's not really anything wrong with it. It's a solid engine and I've never had any issues with it, it's maintained regularly. On the way back from...

Hello, I took my rebuilt landy for it's MOT yesterday and it failed on the drum brakes binding. I replaced the shoes a week or so ago, and one wheel does consistently bind. The adjuster is already at it's minimum. I think it's the edge facing the wheel that's binding, as it gets worse as you...

Hello, I've pretty much finished putting my landy back together after a galvanised chassis, and am very keen to get it MOT'd as am due to be moving in about a month. I've got a few issues with the electrics, though. 1) I'm not convinced I have the connectors connected up properly in the...

Hello, I'm finishing on the electrics on my landy, and need to connect into some ignition live feeds near the ignition. I had originally a multiway spade adapter - it had a male and female bit, so the female went onto the ignition spade, and then the wire that was there originally went onto...

After finding out my 200tdi has had Zeus timing gears fitted I'm trying to get the parts together to fit the traditional timing setup. If you have a timing case and cover for a defender 200tdi then please let me know:) Thanks

So I've got my landy back together enough to turn engine over so I could undo the timing belt cover. I dont seem to have a timing belt on what I have always thought (and bought matching parts for) my 200tdi. What is this?

Decided before striking up the engine after not being started for a year that I'd do the timing belt. It's been on the to do list for a while, so I really do need to do it. I got the tool thing for holding the crankshaft, but it wouldn't fit inside the pulley. Turns out the pulle comes off...

Hello, When I took apart my landy before rebuilding, I put the clamp that holds the speedo in (533765) and the bolt/stud with a nut in a safe place. So safe, I can't find it. I've ordered a new clamp, but need a new bolt or stud with a nut to go through the clamp into the transfer box - anyone...

Hello, As part of my rebuild I decided to replace the clutch slave cylinder. The metal pipe that goes between that and the flexible hose was stuck tight, so bought a replacement pipe too. The pipe is bearmach branded - I'd hoped this would mean a good quality part that fitted first time. The...

Hello, I need to replace my radiator, looking around there's loads of options. One I've found is coolpartsuk on ebay ...

Hello, This has been a long time coming but I'm finally starting to restore my 1992 200tdi, which has seen better days (or at least certain parts of it have...) I need to repair the bulkhead, I've got a TD5 bulkhead that I bought a few years ago, however now that I live around the corner...

For the second year running I've had an issue at MOT time with my steering box. Last year, I got that it's got relative movement betweeen sector shaft and drop arm, so replaced drop arm - was fine. Now i've got the same again, the MOT guy showed me and he thinks the shaft is loose (not...

I've been watching a SMS car tracker on amazon for a while, at almost £30 it seemed a bargain, I think there's been some threads on here too. Just got an email saying its been reduced to £8.88! GPS Car Tracker with GPRS and Vehicle Theft Protection: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics At that...

I got a new battery back in February(a Numax CXV-X 1000 Amp) , since the colder weather set in a week or so ago, the landy was taking a little longer to start - until Friday when I stopped on way home from work, turned engine off and couldnt get it going again. RAC came out and gave me a jump...
