  1. If something like a bike rack slotted in then what would the two bolts be for ?
  2. My 200tdi has not had a fan on for four years and I tow with it, it's never overheated and always stays in normal range on the gauge, warms up quicker in winter as well.
  3. If it helps I put disco 1 springs under my 90 and the ride height is slightly higher at the back but front the same as 90 springs. I would say that defender springs would be too soft..
  4. Richards wouldn't do me a custom chassis because of the fear that I might be ringing a vehicle, I only wanted a series type rear crossmember with the hole in it.
  5. Leak off pipes return unused fuel to the tank so yes they should have fuel in them. Starting probs may be not following cold start proceedure. I used to just lean in cab and preheat then she fired first turn, if I sat in seat I was tempted to touch throttle and then she took longer to start. Sound like you could have a leak or split in fuel return pipe
  6. Thanks for that Wiring seems straight forward enough, I read that fuel line and pump has to be just so as well, having mine on a raised piece of ally with old metal fuel can supplying the diesel, exhaust underneath facing one way and burner inlet facing the other, have to extend the exhaust depending on where I use it. Limited to 2 metres exhaust length I think. Probably end up fitting it in cubby box later on after I've finished using it in the caravan, need two really, if only I had the money
  7. Hows the project going ? Same heater as mine, I need some wiring advice when you connect it up if you don't mind
  8. Was going to mount mine on a board and have the thermostat/timer thing on a long lead so it could be put in the cab or the caravan Is the thermostat sensor thingy in the timer control or is it separate? Not taken mine out of the box yet
  9. I didn't have that fitting on my manifold so I put a take off in the core plug
  10. I'm interested in this as I want to do the same, I've got a heater and control unit etc and need it for the 90 and the caravan and the office as well when it gets really cold. thought it might take the chill off the workshop as well so need to move it around
  11. As Above, Disco is half a ton heavier than a 90 so it would be like driving with a heavy load in it all the time
  12. Very interesting input, keep it coming
  13. I put that in mine as a take off for the boost gauge, its a windscreen washer nozzel
  14. Sounds good to me, why dont people do it then, haven't seen it before. makes sense to monitor pressure at manifold rather than at turbo?
  15. What will happen if I put the little pipe off the turbo (goes to pump) here instead of from turbo?
  16. Best way to remove oil and or brake fluid from brakes/clutches is to boil them in water, this removes the contamination from the friction material. Just be sure and do it when she's out and clean the pan afterwards
  17. The pit I dug in my garage at home is just short of 3 feet deep and I sit on a beer crate to work on cars. It could do with being a little deeper for cars but I would be working stooped if I could get the landy in, its a bit in between really
  18. Haynes says ATF that's why I put it in, is MTF94 expensive as in more than 16 quid a gallon (5 litres) ?
  19. Inter cooler is an add on to increase power, not installed to cool engine parts
  20. Did just that,..... thanks Mixed a couple of the short ones up but got there in the end. All done and fresh oil in now, filter on tomorrow. Fresh ATF in the R380 and gear oil 80/90 in the transfer box, almost ready for start up
