Put a td5 in my old 90, used a defender ecu with defender looms ect. Yesterday I finished the pipework and filled it up with coolant.. Went to turn it on and nothing. It was immobilised... Long story short I'd managed to join all 3 black wires for the bbus alarm to earth without realising. Now...

Would anyone on here be so kind as to measure the thread pitch on their TD5. Im fitting a td5 into my 90 and im struggling to find the master thread size. ive ordered all standard 90 clutch pipework and I know the slave side is m12 but the difference between the early 90 and td5 90 master is the...

A quick Google shows the master cylinder is m12 for the td5 slave but does anyone know the thread size for the master cylinder end and the pipe diameter I need to use? I'm putting a td5 onto my 90 and the old pipework was the same as brake line but I'm sure that the td5 disco pipe is thicker. Thanks

Ive put a new chassis on my 1989 90 and ive done away with the 200tdi and gone for a disco td5 lump and box. Over the last year ive been buys the bits i need to get this thing to work (External fuel pump ect ect) Last friday i managed to get it to start but only by bypassing the black and...

So the chassis is fully stripped and sat needing some love. What's the best primer, rust treatment and paint to use? I was thinking of using raptor to paint the chassis with.

Hi all. I'm changing the gearbox from. Auto to manual on my td5 and I've misplaced the pipe from the donor that goes from the slave to the bulkhead near the master cylinder. It's an early td5 so it has a factory join on the bulkhead I have a spare piece of steel pipe from the donor truck so I...

I'm swapping the auto to a manual on the td5. Tonight I removed the transfer box so tomorrow its onto the gearbox. My mate reckons the torque converter and box might not just slide off like it does on a manual box and it's the first auto I've ever worked on to be fair.. Is there anything I...

Are 200tdi disco hubs the same as the early 90 ones?

In need of a set of early 90/110 front hubs. Thanks

Any idea why my oil light flickers when the engine is warm? I change the engine because it was doing it on the engine that was in it.. 200tdi disc lump. New engine had new bearings and rings ect. I've tried new pressure switches ect... Strangely when it flickers I get a relay clicking with it...

Ok so to keep SWMBO happy I've sold the old 90 and brought a discovery 2... what have i done ?!?!?! Picked up a v reg td5 with 182k on the clock, auto for £1200. Checked the usual bits like rear chassis ect and in general its not perfect but hey ho ive just gone from owning 2 90s down to 1, so...

Ok so I'm going to try and be a little mature and take all the off road parts off my second 90 and get it back to standard. Currently it has modular rims with bf goodrich muds on it and I'm thinking the cheap and cheerful option is to buy a set of disco standard alloys but hold on a minute...

Tried this post in the general or page and go no response so I'd thought I'd give it a shot in here... Are the internals of the 200 and 300 tdi engine different? I know the externals are different however im looking at replacing the cartridge in a friends 200tdi disco engine turbo and ebay...

Are the internals of the 200 and 300 tdi engine different? I know the externals are different however im looking at replacing the cartridge in a friends 200tdi disco engine turbo and ebay only really shows 300tdi yet list as 1990-1999 which we know the 300 wasn't out in 1990... Only other...

I have twin batteries on my 90 with an alternator each. The main alt is a disco 300 tdi 100amp alt and the second is a disco 200tdi 65amp. A few weeks ago both of these were kicking out mid to high 13v and I had plenty of power for winching however they are both struggling around 12.1v now...

I manage to pick a long stick r380 box for 65 quid so future plans for the daily run bout truck is to pull out the defender 200tdi engine and lt77 and stick in a 300 from a disco with this box. The 200 runs sweet but I fancy the r380 and at that price I couldn't resist as well as I got hold of...

I installed my new ashcroft unit into a diff I had spare, tested it on the bench and it didn't leak however I'm not happy with one thing. The 90 degree elbow that goes into the unit itself is facing the wrong way, it's pretty tight as it is and I'm a little apprehensive about dogging this up...

Gonna buy an ashcroft air locker tomorrow from Paddocks to treat myself for my birthday today. Looking on the website it says the drill bit from ashcroft is 29/64 which is around 11.5mm so I'll buy an 11.5mm drill bit and then the tap I've read is 1/4 bsp however that tap is smaller than 11mm...

If I were to run early 10spline diff and shafts in my 90 and used the shafts with no flange on the inside. Would it be acceptable for the oil to lube the bearings instead of the grease. It seems early 10 spline shafts with the flange is getting a bit awkward to source and everyone has cheap...

For the past year or so my 90 has decided to pop the oil warning light on when its really warm, ie off roading and had some hammer. I thought that this was due to the engine that was in it having either a slipped cam bearing or worn piston rings (used to blow a lot through the cyclone breather...
