Hi All, I'm trying to do my glow plugs, but I'm a bit stuffed for access to them, you can see in the picture how far I have got, do I need to remove the black box circles, if so how? I'm assuming I do. Also, you can see on the left circled the glow plug harness connector, do you just pull...

Hi, Recently had my 90 200tdi in a garage for an MOT and they replaced one bleed off pipe and nipped up (apparently) all the injection pipes to stop a small leak on no 1 cylinder. Now it takes a while to start, I'm assuming there is air in the system. I have taken off the the fuel filter and...

Hi All, My 1990 defender has lost it windscreen washer middle nipple (sorry that the only way I can describe it) so at the moment the water squirts onto the tyre on the bonnet. Any clues where I can get one from?

Hi, I'm replacing the tyres on my 90, the spare and front two are at the legal limit. However, a couple of year ago I put 2 new 235x85x16 Khumo KL71 on the back they have probably 10mm+ of tread on them. I'm looking for £80 for the pair. I'm in west sussex. Also I have a rario I got for my...

Hi All, I'm going to run some ceramic block sealent into my 200TDI, is has a slightly porous block. Just wondered what is the best way to remove 100% of the antifreeze in the system. I was thinking of removing the bottom hoses drain, stick a hose in the top of the filler and turn on, keep...

Hi, I'm trying to get Jo (90) sorted for the winter and one thing on the list of tasks is to find replacement screws for the dash cover, you know all the plastic parts. Does anyone know the size of the screws, I've google it but you seem to be able to get kits for everything but not the dash...

Hi, Ok just chucking this out there, not because I have a problem with it, but to see your views. Its my 200TDI, it runs pretty cold just over the upper dot on the temperature gauge and on a motorway run after 30mins+ at 60+ it creeps the halfway up the gauge, no further. I have no leaks. I...

My fuel pump was dripping a bit over the last couple of months, so I left it in place for a while being lazy. However, it pretty much gave up, the car was running but I though I best change it. Look at the video do you think I made the right choice?

Hi, What a minefield this is, went to the LRO show and there were LED headlamps from £120 - £600! So I did not buy any :-( All I want is a set that will go into the origional mountings and work off the origional wiring, nothing fancy just a little brighter than my current headlamps as winter...

Hi, Had a look through the archives and it seems this issue has happened a few times. But just to be sure. I changed the engine oil and filter yesterday, put in 5ltr of oil and the dip stick was reading between Min and Max? The manual says it should be 6.85ltr of oil and filter. Just wanted...

Hi, Now I have plenty of room under the bonnet of the car I noticed the main power from the battery goes to what looks like a distribution post on the started motor. I assume it will be ok to run another lead from there to a small fuesed distribution box on the bulk head for my spots, roof bar...
