I rebuilt my 200tdi 90 doing the injectors turbo and new head and tuned up by a diesel specialist and was pretty happy with it, seemed like a good sound low mileage engine, and pulls nice. But I had to take it off the road for a while and dodged up my old 90 with a 300 in it. Back in the 200 I...

I can’t be certain, but I think I might have cocked my power screw setting up and need an idea of how to get it back to nominal point before trying to adjust. so the 200tdi disco engined defender I’m j working on at the minute was running really well. I did a load of miles in it recently, no...

Does anyone have any idea if and where it is possible to get spare keys, or banks for cutting, for the early lift up handle front doors. The replacement pair of barrels and two keys is code MUC4146 so the keys must still be made somewhere. These barrel kits aren’t a vast amount but I can’t be...

With the various clean air zones coming in soon I’ve done some checks to see if I’m going to get charged and finding it vary confusing. In Manchester cars are exempt for who knows how long Vans won’t be There is a government web page vehicle checker for clean air zones now to find out if charges...

Just thought I’d share the nightmare of fixing my death wobble, so it might help others I have an old 90, I’ve been driving for years and one I’ve just completely rebuilt the chassis on The new rebuild with all new springs, steering and bushes would not drive over 40 without the wheels suddenly...

Anyone know what the thread type is on the screws that fix the clutch master cylinder cover plate? M5 looks a tad to big Mine is a 1985 also. Don't know if the threads vary on the older/newer models?

More niggles stopping my rebuild getting finished The new Exmoor type waterproof seat covers I got to recover my cloth heated puma seats don’t have centre cords to pin the back into the foam like the originals? I was told the secondhand seats were puma and there was a date sticker on the frame...

My 1985 90 rebuild is getting there, with the wiring coming together and the first running of the new 200tdi engine New wiper motor and wiper switch seamed to be plug and play with the old loom connectors, but my wipers are trying to clean the bonnet??? Could I have got something set wrong for...

I’m a bit baffled with the 200tdi engine conversion I’m doing on an 84 diesel 90 with LT75 box. Standard defender 200 tdi bolted in without issue, just the usual wiggling around to get the input shaft to line up and slide in place. I now have a clutch release bearing that seams about 15-20mm...

Couldn’t find any existing info on this, as often the case with the early defender I have. I’m getting fed up of having to wind the window down to let my self out of my lift up handle door. It’s not long since I last stripped the door down and sprayed a load of lube on the internal mechs but...

I wanted to try and boost my heating a little before the cold sets in and liked an idea I saw about wiring a bilge blower fan in line. Got the fan in place, but struggling to sus the wiring it in in series with the main fan I have a very early defender I found a wiring diagram on the net with...

Anyone able to tell me if a tdci 2012 defender four bolt power steering box will be a direct swap for my 1984 defender 4 bolt power steering box. I saw some recons advertised as 1985-1994, other things I’ve read suggest 4 bolt variants are all the same what ever the age, other things suggest the...

i invested in a heated screen a year ago having it fitted at a specialist LR place. Didn't get chance to test it out much later winter but found it took a good few minutes to clear condensation in morning and softened frost in a couple of minutes so it could be wiped off. I used a Hyundai hire...
