Hello, My 200tdi has always leaked oil from the front wading plug hole. I have had a bottle rigged up to it and have made do with just emptying it every couple of weeks. I recently decided to replace the crankshaft and camshaft oil seals, along with polishing the pulleys where the seals run...

Hoping someone can shed some light... I was towing a car on a trailer tonight (about 2.5 tonnes) in my 200tdi up a fairy steep hill when I started to get a whine from the gearbox. It would only appear under power and mainly in 3rd - 5th. I stopped to let everything cool down and the whine...

About a month ago, I started to have issues with my starter motor. Now every time I try to start, I can hear the starter motor spinning but the solenoid doesn't seem to be engaging the starter gear with the flywheel (takes about three or four attempts then the car will start). I took the...

Hi Guys, Currently spraying my whole 90 inside my garage with polythene sheeting up everywhere. I'm painting it with tractor primer and top coat which is a synthetic enamel. So far, the whole thing is in primer and it looks ok but there is some slight orange peel (I believe this is caused by my...

Hi Guys, I'm currently rebuilding my defender (no thread on here as I can't understand how anyone has the time for that as well as a rebuild!) and I am fitting the new plug style of lights onto it. The defender is a '93 200tdi so it originally had the lights that are earthed through a screw...

After trying and failing to get new rear wings for my tub I was trying to work out how to sort mine (very badly damaged). I tried panel beating but it didn't go well and the panel seems to be far too wrinkled to sort. I had a thought tonight and wondered if I could buy aluminium wire, pure argon...

Evening all, I'm looking to replace both of my rear wings because they are completely knackered. I've been searching for ages through all of the parts websites I know of and I've found a passenger side wing from Craddocks for £40 which is very reasonable. However, I'm having a real problem...

Just found someone selling a replacement rear crossmember on gumtree for a 110 300tdi. Would this fit my 200tdi 90 chassis?

I decided to take my power steering pump out and overhaul it. After a quick look on here and a google search it seems like nobody sells parts for these other than a seal kit. There is a roller bearing at the front of the pump which I can easily get a hold of but there are also two bushes which I...

Hi guys, I've got the strangest noise coming from my defender. It only occurs when I'm going about 30-35 in 4th and 5th gear. The noise is a sort of low growl as of there is some sort of sheet metal piece rattling but I can't see why it would only happen at this speed? There is also a...

Hi guys, this is my first post as an owner so go easy if I ask anything stupid. I've tried searching for the answer to my problems on the forum but no luck. Anyway, I've just bought a 200tdi defender and it's leaking a fair bit of oil. I tried having a look today and it seems like it's maybe...

Hi, Can anyone please tell me the load bay size for a 110 hi cap? Cheers!

Arite folks, am currently considering buying a 1996 110 hcpu however I have a few questions for everyone. I'm 6"2 and am worried I won't be able fit in the cab. I'm also wondering what the actual fuel consumption is because no two places seem to say the same thing. Also, how much is road...
