  1. Thanks for the responce. Have already put a new sensor. Will change the raidator & thermostat too.
  2. Hi! Guys, I have a 1990 Defender 110 which did not have PAS, but had an A/C not sure if it was factory fitted or an afteramarket. Just last week added a PAS & also got the A/C compressor serviced and now everything is working fine. A pleasure to drive the defender with the PAS. But now my problem is that its very sluggish with the A/C on and without much better. Also its overheating a lot. Is there any remedy for this. The needle is always on the border of the orange colour in the temp gauge. Its hardly in the white area. Mostly between the white and orange portion of the temp gauge. My question is : Can a 2.5 N/A Diesel handle the A/C & PAS at the same time? Is the load too much for the 2.5 N/A? Will fitting two Kenlow fans help. What size of fans will help.
  3. Hi! Simonr, very nice pics. Do real justice to the product. Will go in for them shortly for my 110, even though I dont do extrem offroading. Do they make a huge difference on road too?
  4. Hi! Is there any way we can upgrade the performance of a 2.5 N/A Diesel. Will a K&N filter and extra 5th ring on the pistons help. Dont have much knowledge on this and welcome any help from the forum members. Thanks
  5. Hi! Can you email me some pictures, if possible.
  6. Hi! Guys, I am looking for a brand new dash for my RHD defender 110. I also want to change the instrument panel (Speedo & all the other gauges). Tried a search but was not successful. Can a new Defender dash fit my old 1990 dash? Would appreciate it if you can give me some info on this and where to get a new dash or atleast replacement parts. Thanks
  7. Mines a 2.5NAD too and have the same problem, must get a new cap as well as a new gasket. Why could LR not design a threaded type like all other cars????????
  8. Hi! Chris, I too have a 2.5 Na and was happy a fellow forum member was breaking down his Defender and I bought the whole PAS stuff from him. Its a joy now to drive the defender, without PAS it was very very painful in Indian traffic conditions. While driving its ok but when you need to park, its a nice gym workout for the arms and shoulders. LANDY POWER ASSISTED STEERING:- Yes you can convert to PAS, you need to get hold of: A Power Steering Pump A Twin belt crank pulley A PAS steering box The pipework required, and A fluid reservoir. It isn't too hard, but you gotta get these. Oh, and another belt. You should also check that your engine has the holes dirilled and tapped in the side of the block for the pump - they mount in the bottom right hand side, as you are standing in front looking at the engine, underneath the alternator. Try asking on the forums. You might get lucky, just like me. some more pics on the pipes you will need fluid tank PS box
  9. Hi! Vinny, What was the reason to upgrade from LT77 to R380? Are there any benefits on doing this?
  10. Hi! Simon, Which overdrive you have for your 110. Does it really make a difference by adding an overdrive inspite of having 5 gears. I have a 110 with a 2.5 N/A Diesel & a LT77 gearbox. Am planning on adding an overdrive. Got a quote for a 2nd hand one at £650. Will also add a X-brake later. Appreciate your responce!
  11. HI! western, Thank for the reply. Will try and get this part. Thanks for the part number .
  12. Wow! That was quick. Thanks for the info. Will Try that tomorrow.
  13. Hi! I have a 1990 RHD Defender 110 5 door with a 2.5 N/A Diesel engine. The original did not have a power steering. Also the AC was an add on by the previous owner. Thanks to the forum I managed to get a 2nd complete power steering kit as one of the members was breaking down his defender. On adding the PAS kit, there is one belt to the PAS pump, and the other goes to the fan There is no third groove for the AC compressor? My question is how do Defenders which have a PAS, A/C have a 3-grooved bottom pulley. How does one have the bottom pulley drive the main fan, PAS PUMP, ALTERNATOR & A/C. Do I need to get a 3- grooved new bottom pulley so tha 1st grove drives the main fan & alternator, 2nd grove drives the PAS Pump and the 3rd outer most grove drive the A/C compressor. Any help on this will be great. Wil post pictures tomorrow.
  14. Thanks guys. Wish I could find a cheaper one. Too expensive.
  15. IMHO it looks better without the protection bar.
  16. Hi! Guys, am looking for a used 1968 Series 2A LWB overdrive for the diesel engine. Does any one want to part with a good condition one. Or can anyone inform me where I can get 2nd hand ones or new ones? Rgds Prith
  17. What about on a 2.5 N/A, I have a 6 bolt manual and am replacing it with (thanks to one of the members) a 3 bolt PAS one. Will this work.?
  18. Hi! I have got a 1990, 110 defender 5 door with a 2.5 N/A diesel engine in it. Sadly there is no power steering and makes life hell to park/drive especially in crowded Bangalore town, here in India. Is there any site or person who can source me the complete kit (I mean everything!) to convert my landy to a PAS. Dont mind even buying a new kit. Would appreciate your help on this. Rgds Prith
