    200tdi Defender thermostat

    My 92 200tdi Defender has the original engine. Recently replaced the thermostat with a new one that was rated at 88 C. The engine is now running hotter than it always has previously. I’ve checked and some people are saying the 200tdi should have an 82 C thermostat yet other suppliers insist the...

    Loaded a couple of spades inot the back and spent a couple of hours digging trenches from our flooded lane across verges to ditches to allow the water to drain away. Doing our local councils job for them. Hoping for a council tax rebate.

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Sorted out my indicator issue (on another thread). Hazards working but no indicators. After renewing every earth back & front as a precaution attention turned to the hazard switch (apparently a known issue). Still nothing doing. Out of desperation I pulled every fuse & found the fuel gauge fuse...

    3.0L TDV6 or 4.4 TDV8

    V8 4.4 everyday of the week. I’ve got a 2014. Completely understressed engine at motorway cruising. Put your foot down hard though & it goes like the proverbial par-boiled moggy. Returns 32-35 mpg. As others have said the V6 has an abysmal reputation.

    Indicator warning light issue. Defender 200tdi

    Any ideas on this one? When I turn right dash indicator lights show up nicely. When I turn left there’s just a faint glow. When I put hazards on there’s nothing. All indicators are working normally except the right one mounted on the wing. I’m assuming that may be the problem but can’t fathom...

    Brake issues 200 tdi

    A weird one. I’ve replaced the front brake callipers on my 92 200tdi. I clamped the front hoses off whilst changing them. I reverse bled the brakes & everything seemed ok on a short 2 mile drive. On a longer drive the next day the pedal suddenly got soft but pumping it brought it back. Next day...

    What have you done on your 90/110/130 today?

    Nightmare job completed.I've had a couple of OEM front calipers for my 92' 110 200tdi for awhile waiting to fit them.

    Lower steering shaft UJ bolts

    Cheers guys. We used a lot of stainless fittings at work before I retired so still have contacts with local suppliers. They’ve supplied me with core T bolts for propshaft UJ’s when a well known parts supplier sent the wrong ones !

    Lower steering shaft UJ bolts

    I’m having to replace my lower steering shaft UJ,s again for 2nd time in just over a year. Replacement parts were Britpart & the UJ,s have failed already. Bought OEM ones this time that don’t come with new nuts & bolts. Can anyone help me with the size and whether or not they’re high tensile?
