Hello. I have a 1988 90 19j 2.5TD The other day at a set of traffic lights i pulled away and it was even more gutless than normal. It’s as if it was in limp mode. I have no Rev counter but would estimate at around 2000-2200 rpm it ran out of steam. Flatlines, will not physically Rev any harder...

Hi can anyone help. im after the paint colour for my f reg 1988 landy. Recently compound and buffed it back to its original blue. Needed to paint over some parts and was convinced after googling images it was stratos blue. Had some mixed up at Motorspares but it is much darker. Im now...

Hi I am planning to make an oil catch tank on my 90 td. Vehicle no longer has a turbo on it. Probably due to reliability issues on the early models. Vehicle currently has breather from oil filler literally stuffed into intake pipe just before inlet manifold. They used to go in just before air...

Hi got my 90 a year ago. turbo has been removed. very gutless especially with trailer. Mate has just bought one today with 19j and it goes so much better than mine. Thinking of fitting a turbo again. Any advise or anyone know of one for sale? no idea why or when original was removed...

Hi. My 90 is an F plate and was originally fitted with a turbo. I believe it is a 19j engine which at some point has been converted back to the more reliable (and slower) normally aspirated. Everything works fine (ish) but i am confused over the engine oil breather. After recently fitting a...

What exactly would i need, i there actually a fuel tank breather as kits dont include one? surely it is better to replace everything right to the axle rather than extend the 25 year old tubes. Any info on what i need or where to get it would be greatly appreciated. Is one pipe up the...

Hi i after fitting the snorkel i need to sort out breathers. Done a lot of searching on here about which kit or diy. Would my axles be push fit or ball valve type fittings? it seems more expensive to build your own which seems odd as people reckon they can do it for 20quid. What exactly...

Hi chaps. I have an F reg 90. Originally had a 2.5 early turbo but at some stage has been converted back to a normally aspirated lump. The intake is still on the wing. I have bought a Bearmach copy of the safari snorkel. This weekend I will hopefully be fitting it. What I don't like about...

Hi there, my 1988 90 has "Defender" side decals rising from the door diagonally up then horizontal above the door handle not through it as such. I dont know if these are genuine or not, but they are badly faded and have gone a girly puple colour :eek:. I want to replace them and have been on...
