[TDV8 HP Fuel pump]

Yes mate, front of the inner cam if i remember correctly. 

[TDV8 HP Fuel pump]

Front right driven off the camshaft..has a large metal plate over it..

[ID this loose pipe from Puma engine bay?]

It looks like the power steering reservoir to power steering box pipe..

[Which LR's used the LT95]

early 110's used it as well.not sure about the controls though.

[300tdi clutch panic]

have you adjusted the clutch pedal, it's on a eccentric bolt.if it's at it's lowest point you won't get full cylinder stroke, and the clutch will not clear..

[Coil spring downgrade]

front yes,rear no mate

[Where's my clutch gone?]

make sure you don't pull the push rod off the release arm when you remove the slave cylinder,as this will ruin your day as it's a git to reattach.

[LT230 gear box seal]

sorry fat finger moment!

[Rocker cover gasket Defender Puma 2,4]

the cam cover is probably fine,the injector seals leak causing excessive crank case compression blowing oil out everywhere. i'd check those first

[Rent free welding gas]

Dorset auto spares do half size argo shield bottles. £60 deposit and £40 refills and they deliver.

[EAS Problems]

normally the compressor output is weak,as the piston ring is made of plastic for some unfathomable reason.on the plus side somewhere on the web steel pistonring kits are available the US i think.

[90 - Cork seal for fuel filler cap (non locking cap)]

sorry i don't know the part number for the cork seal,but when mine needed replacement i found that deisel fuel sedimentor o ring (there square in section) worked very well,hope this is of some help

[100" defender body]

hi there just a thought,but could you not mount a standard 90 tub in the standard place and just (i say just) make the doors 7 inches longer,and make a filler panel from the seat box to the tub bulkhead.you will still have to lenghen the roof,but you would end up with better seat recline and some storage space behind the seats?

[Noisy again]

hi have a look at the rear diff mount,the front is prone to go and cause a heavy knock but if badly gone will pull the prop aout of line and make some horrible noises

[Off with its head]

just a quick thought have you checked the rocker shaft is not cracked or even snapped,have none this to have happened.The tappet clearances go mad and it will stay together when removed suprisingly enough

[2.5 petrol valve clearances]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me the valve clearance on a 2.5 petrol engine?

I can find a value of 0.20mm for a diesel but couldn't find anything for a petrol.

Thanks

Steve

10 thou mate no idea what that is in new money sorry

[Windy Gun]

Cheers Gents,

Just made the mistake of looking at snap-on, FFS is their tackle that good?

Best part of £2000 for a bloody tool box

must have been a little cantilever box for only £2000

[Location of TD4 fuel filter]

they moved it can't remember exactly when

[Windy Gun]

ingersol rand do a good range air tools pricey but very good quality

[disco axle on defender110]

all 110 till 2002 i think were salisbury then heavy duty rover type able to take grosse weight

[Location of TD4 fuel filter]

it's with the fuel pump, behind the wheel arch cover (right hand rear)of the car hope this helps

[Now this looks interesting]

the army winterised 90/110 have the same set up.don't remember if it worked very well though!!

[P38 starting problems]

Er, no as I havent heard of those before, can you describe?

between each injector you will find a fabric coverd rubber pipe, (the spill return)this takes unused fuel back to the tank,although this is the low pressure side of the fuel system it will draw in air,leading to extended cranking,you may not think there is any thing wrong with them,but they are cheap and easy to change.(push fit) if that fails to do it, the pump pick up can spilt and draw in air but this only happens(generaly) at one fuel level and is much morework to check(tank out ) and lots more money

[Diesel leaking out of filler cap]

I think that's the seal for the filler neck-to-inside of bodywork (to stop the filler neck vibrating against the body). The fuel filler seal is a continual ring with no holes in it. If the seal is just worn, then sometimes turning it over cures the problem. You could try that and would know straight away if it cures the problem. I don't think you can buy the seal seperately. Is the cap a tight fit? If not, then carefully bend the steel tabs to increase the seal pressure (bend them a small amount towards the seal).

Les.

I think that one of the two diesel sedimentor seals (200/300 tdi) fits the bill very well.
