[Ignition barrel/switch/lock.]

Thanks but I'm away from the the UK at the moment.👍

[Ignition barrel/switch/lock.]

Thank you very much. The ignition key doesn't stay in position, sometimes but not always, so I think I need the lot. So QRF100880 which is listed for 200Tdi, is wrong? It looks the same.

[Ignition barrel/switch/lock.]

Thank you. The PRC8230 is only the round connector block on the end. I need the whole unit, including barrel.

There doesn't seem to be any consistency between suppliers.

[Any ideas?]

Tell me about it! At least I have new parts fitted and a box full of spares.

Cheers 👍

[Ignition barrel/switch/lock.]

Is anyone able to provide the part number for the above? Vehicle, Defender 200Tdi 1990 (H). (RHD) It looks like it's QRF100880. It has had multiple part numbers which have been superseded. It could also be LR077439.

Paddock says defender 200tdi but others say from 1991, others say something different again.

Thanks very much.

[Any ideas?]

Just thought I'd update this. Everything I did was unnecessary. It turned out to be a faulty ignition switch.

It's probably a bit late now but Mike of Britannica Restorations on you tube, made one from a piece of exhaust pipe by cutting out the relevant bits. I'm sure he will send you a template if you send him an email.

Check for air leaks in the fuel system very methodically starting from the injectors as suggested above.

One additional thought, has this started to happen since it started to get colder? A healthy 200tdi should fire up with little to no glow plugs, but an elderly tdi may need the glow plugs to be in good order to fire up on the first spin. Worth a look if you don't find any air leaks in the fuel system. 

Not not really since it's got colder, it's been doing it a while and I now am trying to get to the bottom of it. I've got a feeling there could be some dregs in the tank.

Just a random thought, is the tank only pump diesel as veg oil will settle out if stood? 

Once it is running, cracking the filter bleed screw while running is a good check for lift pump function.

Steve

No, only diesel. Yeah, I've undone the bleed screw while running, a few small bubbles then clear.

[Any ideas?]

Thank you, I will check everything and it sounds like I may have to drop the tank at some point to check up top. Could it even be the gasket on the return on the tank? I hadn't thought of that. No sedimenter fitted.

Thanks Sean, once the tank is less full, I'll do the sender and hopefully I will find the problem on the pickup pipe.

[Any ideas?]

Yes I have replaced the fuel filter. I can't see signs of any leaks but i will look yet again. There must be a leak somewhere. Would diesel come out of the same place air is getting in?

Hello knowledgeable people,

 

200Tdi 110 1990

After years of starting the engine with one flick of the key, all of a sudden it now takes two or three turns of the key and with the help of a little pedal. I don't have to continuously crank it, it fires up but only for a split second. Puff out the exhaust. The vehicle had been left for a few months.

I have done : New fuel filter (genuine), new lift pump (all makes (I can't get the primer arm to pump in any rotation of the cam but appears to be pumping)), new lift pump to filter hose (genuine), new stop solenoid connector and cleaned the terminal, new stop solenoid, even though I could hear the click (Bosch), checked fuel cap breather (ball bearings free), tried with fuel cap off (same), replaced spill hoses and pump return (3.2 mm int.), bled from the filter, checked filter is full (yes), checked lift pump has fuel at the output (yes), checked for leaks at the injector pump and injectors (none), adjusted tappets.

Once it's running it's normal and stays.

I have a new sender which I will do when the tank is empty enough, there may be an obstruction in the pick up pipe but why would it only obstruct on start up? The low fuel light is on and the needle is in the red but there is 3/4 of a tank in there so could be connected to that. The old genuine lift pump seems ok but left the new one on anyway. The new one has a different primer, it's sprung and there is no slack point in it, feels exactly the same no matter what. I've taken it off and refitted to make sure it's on the lobe.

There is a slight hiss from the fuel filler cap after a run but I can't understand why. It doesn't hiss when I remove it and it comes off normally. Can't see that the tank has sucked in.

I am now scratching my head....??

 

Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. 

Cheers thanks.

Hello,

Would anybody happen to know the part number for the above please? 

 

Thank you.

[Auxiliary Fuse Box]

I'm no expert but personally, I'd prefer to continue with the beefy cables to the fuse box. The fuse box is rated to 100 amp so I would use cables able to cope with that. I may be wrong but.......

[Wobble]

Agreed but this has taken a hit from a tractor and presumably wasn't shaking before.

[Wobble]

Have a look underneath to see if there is anything obviously bent, like the drag link. If both the front wheels are wobbly then it's unlikely to be from the wheels themselves, more like a bent rod. Jack it up and have a feel around.

[Snorkel bits]

I wonder if that's a bit from an Arctic heater system?

Thank you. I'm not sure, I will check tomorrow.

[Power steering hose - 200Tdi Defender 1990 (H)]

Hi,

I have power steering pump ntc8287 and need the pump to reservoir hose, (rhd). I have seen the correct part in workshop manual diagrams but in the actual photos of the seller websites they don't have the banjo fitting but just a plain rubber end. Could I need the TD engine version? Mine is an early 200.

Thank you very much and happy New year to all!!

[2.5 NA versus 200TDI Exhaust Internal Diameter]

Internal diameter of mine at the tail pipr (200Tdi) is 50 mm. External 54 mm

Engine external is 57 mm do 2 mm thick would be around 53 ish

[Viscous Fan wobble]

Would that mean the water pump is on its way out?

Thank you very much. I will have a look.

Cheers.

[Workshop manual]

Hi there, I am asking on behalf of a friend, who is in need of a workshop manual for a Range Rover Sport 2005 TDV6 2.7. I think it's quite an early type with the knob dial for drive settings. I can't find any.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot.
