Terrafirma or Britpart or should I just go ome if I can get them std hight

Look for information on rear coil springs car has been on coils since we went to morroco for the trip I put genuine 7 seater coils on they are now getting ready for changing I would like to keep it standard hight if possible I've looked at OME but all seem to be +2

Yep you're right I was wrong somehow got it in my head they square but it's been along time since I changed them ill get some orded cheers

I'll get one out and have a look it's been a while since I've changed them

I have an early x break fitted to my 90 can anyone help me find pads to fit it they are the square one

Has anyone got any knocking around I've managed to loose one

What is the best thing to use to clean the mating faces with to get the best results don’t want to be to aggressive

Thanks I’ll get at it tomorrow I’d ready a few stories of bolt shearing and drilling out, I’ve put plenty of wd40 on so with any luck should be ok.

Looks like the manifold gasket is blowing I’ve never had to change one in the 26years I’ve owned it, so it’s a 200tdi Defender what is it like to do what will I need as well as the gasket and I presume studs and nuts will need to take everything off to get the manifold off should I get someone else to do it

Yes dropped from the block gave it a really good flush out with the hose pipe until it ran clean

I drained off the coolant and removed the thermostat filled back up with clean water then added the oxalic acid ran it up to temperature drained and flushed out as far as I can tell all is well

It’s looks the same as the one in my Defender 200 tdi 1990 so probably used on the change over

Thanks for the reply’s I’ve ordered the Oxalic acid and will be on it when it turns up, I was thinking of dropping the coolant out and taking the stat out filling with clean water ready for when the oxalic comes.

I would like to flush out the cooling system on the 90 it’s a 200tdi 1991 vintage, is a case of just draining and filling with clean water a couple of times until it’s clean coming out or is there a procedure I need to follow

I have put the 90 200tdi back on the road after spending a few years sorting it out it’s amazing how one job leads to another. it now running ok and back using it but every now and again the clutch pedal stays down pull it back up and everything is ok, im thinking it could be the slave cylinder may need bleeding or changing ? Or could it be something else
