RetroAnaconda i don't suppose you've still got the spare 200tdi fuel pump hanging about? im in need of one for my daily driver i know this post was nearly 2 years ago but worth a shot Ollie

Cheers Discomikey & bowie i will get these tried and tested,i also have an isolation switch in place so i will get that tested to. i have a boost gauge on the way anyway, i will have a look at the fuel filter and lift pump. see what i can find. cheers guys

Hi all, I'm currently having a couple of issue with my defender starting, sometimes it will start fine and first time, other times when i turn the key you can here it try to turn over then struggles and sounds like a flat battery, what are the best ways to try and figure out whether it is my starter motor or the battery that is starting to give up My battery is reading around 12.2V +/- 0.2 when off reading of my internal voltmeter, when running around 14.1v +/- 0.2 The other question my 200tdi engine has started to feel a little bit more sluggish, and espcially when going into 4th gear it seems to have a drop power then takes a while to get up speed again. e.g in 3rd gear will do 35mph then i need to change gear to 4th and when i do it will drop about 5mph then take around 5-10secs to get from 30mph to 40 ect once up to around 45mph it seems to have enough ummph and will go along nicely, just seems really slow and sluggish overall. could this be due to my turbo going/have gone ( if so how do i tell) or any other suggestions sorry if any of this is vague im not to technical at cars atm still learning but learning in style with my defender any help is much appreciated Ollie

I currently got the swing away wheel carrier from mm4x4 which seems to be working well and takes away most of the weight of the wheel off the back door.

Did you do much prepping other then sanding down before using the coach enamel? Ollie (vet)

I decided to buy a set of new door hinges which were brit part and the j clips were a pain to get in but once in the were solid and the bolts fed straight through the new hinges and in straight away. Door fixed in only half hour it's back on Ooo I think I have one of the telescopic magnetic things some were I may have to try playing a game of landrover fishing Ollie

Hi all I went to change my wingmirror mounts and surprise surprise I lost one of the nuts inside the door which ment the door having to come off to retrieve and replace only to lose 2 of the bulkhead clips into the bulkhead :/ what's the best way of retrieving them if possible? it only took me 3 hours to hang to door back on after fighting to get the bolts back in (they just wouldn't grip through the hinge) :/ now only being held by 2 bolts. Ollie

always worth a go at trying new things, only one way your going to find out if it works or not. I Have got a few ideas for my defender but not sure on how they are going to look, i have tried photo-shopping to get an idea but its never a definitive answer Ollie

Have to upload some pictures when it's finished Ollie

Ooooo okay more things for me to look at now with the coach enamel. Are they able to match a colour if you don't know the code at all. Ollie

Okay I may have to change that I knew the smooth coated hammerite isn't great. Any suggestions on another make that does a similar thing like no need for undercoat ect. I don't mind if I have to do an undercoat Just want a nice finish and decent paint. Ollie

I was thinking of painting it in hammerite (hammered dark green) as this will hide any brush strokes roller marks. my other option was to paint the same colour that it is now but I can't find out what colour it is. Ollie

HI I'm currently in a decision whether to repaint my defender as it has old paint flaking off in places and could really do with a touch Up I have seen a couple of posts about hand painting and just wondered what people's experience is with doing this and any tips. Ollie

I will ask already had experience learning earthing on the land rover due to one of headlight bulbs not working

One can hope, but thanks again guys, will update and let you know how i get on. first attempt at doing work on the landrover since i brought it on my own (and out of my depth considering im a trainee vet ) and im a complete novice on cars so is going to be an adventure but thats why i brought it. Ollie

It has a 200tdi engine in as the actual engine in there begins with 11L. But on the v5 it stats it's a 19J Thank you for all your help guys I have now ordered my PAS pump Ollie

Okay thank you guys hopefully get this sorted. So my engine is a 200tdi correct?

I brought it privately so I will give them a ring and find some more info.

I don't know it's how I brought it just before Christmas it's a 1985 90. So I need to do some digging into it but what is the number I have (11L0627A) what engine is that. And only found out today upon further inspection that the number I found on my engine doesn't match the v5. But still I'm struggling to find a replacement PAS pump

On further inspection I have found the engine number on my v5 is wrong the actual engine number I have in is 11L06272A

Hey all I'm struggling to find the correct Pas pump for my land-rover as it's a 1985 with a 200tdi engine in. The engine no. Is 19J21357L but all I can find is pas pumps which match to engine number 11L..... None starting with the 19J whether I'm being stupid I'm not sure. Sorry completely new to this and learning as I go Ollie

Fantastic thank you all for your help. It has help explain so much tomorrow, well today will be landrover spending day Regards Ollie

Argh Okay that's why then sounds like what the garage said to me but left out about the alloys then but, defender wheels will fit on the disco axle aswell? Or is there a specific disco axle that only defender wheels will fit. Sorry for asking so many questions completely new to all this and first landrover I will be doing my own work on. Ollie
