Hi, Have replaced the thermostat and the temp sender. Still the same, sat a the quarter mark. Hoses are hot, radiator is also hot.

Hi Just bought a 200tdi disco. The temp gauge sits at at the quarter mark when fully warmed up, is this correct? Every car I have owned, the gauge has sat around the halfway mark. Thanks Rich

Didn't think a B-reg would have indicators in the wings?

Bloody land rovers. lol

Hi My landy has been off the road since april for a repaint and other bits and pieces. Drove it back home today and now the clutch is slipping. Is this just a temporary problem from being stood for so long. Or can the clutch be on the way out? I hope not Rich

MTF 75W-90 is a highly shear stable, multigrade manual transmission fluid. It is designed for transmissions and transaxles which require an API GL-4, SAE 75W-90 viscosity lubricant, as specified by Ford, G.M.H., Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Daihatsu and others.

Maybe its because the rivets aren't genuine?

Hi Trying to reattach the passenger side arch spat on my 90 and having a hard time. Those crappy plastic rivets are driving me insane! Can't push the pin through with my thumb as its too hard. Try to use a hammer or screwdriver and the pin just bends! Is there a special way to do it? Thanks Rich

That's what I thought and was surprised to see nuts and bolts instead.

Thanks for the help. The nuts and bolts were holding the spat to the inside wing and those plastic rivets to the outer wing.

TDi !!!! The N/A would be a waste of time and effort.

Hi I need the part numbers for the following: Clips for the galvanised trim on the early 90 front doors. Spire nuts that hold the wing top vent trim in place. Seal between the heater fan and the plastic housing inside the front wing. Nuts and bolts for the front spats. Thanks Richard

Hi I've noticed that my rear propshaft has come loose from the transmission brake drum. When I tried to tighten the nuts, the bolts keep spinning and I can't remove the nuts. Grrr... Is there a simple way to remove them? Are the propshaft bolts held by splines on the flange?

If your Landy isn't needed for everyday use, then go for galvanised chassis. Makes sense in the long run.

SuperPro all the way. Fitted the complete bush kit to my 90 and was impressed by the quality compared to other polybushes available.

Is the rad for the disco and defender 200 TDi the same? The reason I'm asking is I have is a 90 with a 200tdi conversion, and I'm not sure what radiator I have at the moment. Thanks Richard

I have found that the quality of service has dropped over the last few years. Every time they have told me, that they would call me regarding a part etc. They have never bothered! Never had a issue with swapping parts, but I only live down the road from them. I expect it would be a different issue if I had to order parts through the post..... So now I have started to use Paddocks instead, much better.

Hi all, A while back I fitted an Alisport intercooler to my 90. Only problem was, as my 90 was originally a N/A and the intercooler is for a 200tdi, my landy is missing the bottom mounting points. I think they are normally used for the cross braces. Does anyone know the part numbers for the mounts? I looked on microcat but can't find them. Thanks Richard

That's a really good idea. The tail pipe silencer is pretty small, so would give a throaty sound without being too loud.

I have a feeling that the Difflock Oil is just Redline MTL in a different bottle.

The threads are finer then that. It has a cut out in the middle of it, so a allen key can also be used.

I've tried 4 different caps off Land Rovers and none fit. Crazy!

Hi all, My radiator filler cap is strange. It has different threads to what it should have and nothing fits it! I bought a fancy one from X-Engineering which didn't fit, so I checked the threads and mine has much finer threads. I have a 90 200 TDi conversion and I expect it must be using the disco rad and frame. Thanks Richard

Fixed it!!!! Removed the cover on the top of the transfer box, where there is a shaft with two forks on it. Pushed the rod which the forks normally push into the transfer box. Now I have High box! Must be the linkage needs to be adjusted. Haven't got a clue how though.
