I need to investigate a bit more

im going round the engine sorting all the usual leaks all the front end is done is it worth removing the back plate wile the box is out and is it just gaskets like the front ? if I remove the gearsticks will it go back or do I need to remove the seat box ?

hi all I have a 1990 200tdi defender that leakes from the bell housing . I did the tappets yesterday and while giving it a real good run the clutch started to slip in 4th and 5th when pulling hard . I had a new clutch and recon box fitted 1000 miles or so ago so im assuming its oil on the clutch . if it is my rear main what are my options for changing it I dont have a drive or garage or the money to pay somebody to change it . am I better of droping the gearbox or removing the engine ? has anybody got any pics of themselves doing this job so I can get a better idea ?

I think what could have happened is the pin in the multiplug may have snapped off at some stage and filled with carp I thought it was blank ill have to take a better look tomorrow thanks for the pics western

ok iv found 2 plugs with 2 wires on each green and black and white and light grey the one from the chassis loom has a single white and purple wire going to it and the one from the bulkhead loom has one wire pluged in to a multy plug also from the bulkhead loom the guage works but no warning light .both plugs are the same so they wont fit together

cheers western .sounds easy but you know what land rover wirings like.

hi all has anybody got any pics of were the low level warning light plugs in, in the engine bay on a 1990 200tdi im sure on my last one I had a single wire plugged in to a multy block but I don't know what wire or were it plugs in .

I have no idea what 14/030 cable is

hi all can anybody tell me what ampage the purple auxiliary wire is that goes to the rear drivers side in a 1991 200tdi 90 ?

cheers mike im glad I havnt got to remove the seat box

hi all iv got a 200tdi defender 90 with the tank on the drivers side . can anybody tell me the easiest way to change the tank? is it from the top or the bottom ? what do I need to remove to make things easier as I need room to replace the tank outrigger

cheers maverick it always amazes me what imformation you can get on here

hi all can anybody tell me the size difference between early and late hockey sticks . any body know what year they changed size ?

hi all iv just found a penhard rod from a tdci defender and the bushes are on the way out on my 200tdi . the 200 has a bend in it and the tdci is straight my mate recons all you need to do is make bigger holes fore the bigger bolts and it will fit .has anybody done this and are there any problems ? PS I also have the other and that bolts to the steering box and chassis .

I thought it sounded a bit funky

yes I did theres only one on my 90 . when I spoke to mm's they said the shoes were for worn drums not new ones . sounds like they were fobbing me off so not wanting to kick up a stink in the shop I left it at that . iv now ordered Delphi shoes so fingers crossed I can get it sorted by the weekend fingers crossed .ill let you know

this is what im making its got a way to go yet but im trying ...I love them locks theyr perfect . ejparrott is your swing away carrier noisy ?

I got them from mm's I think they are all makes I was thinking of going for Delphi .any thoughts ?

I was going to fit one but as far as sticking a padlock through it it might make it easy to snap it

checked and double checked they seem to be wearing top and bottom but not in the middle

last week I had somebody try to get in the back of my 90 so iv started to make a wheel carrier that locks all the way across the door to the body on the other side has anybody got any pics of improvised wheel carriers and how they lock them to the body ? I could do with some idea's

hi all I decided to change my drums and shoes on the back of my h reg 90 200tdi when I did I found they bound so bad I couldn't turn the wheel so I filed the edges off the shoes but still no good but a little better . I drove it until they were smoking .then I decided to change the brake pistons but still the same but now they had a judder so I brought bearmach drums but still they are tight I then changed the hubs and bearings but still the same has anybody had this problem ? and can anybody recommend brake shoes .can anybody tell me the exact size of the shoes for my 90 .P.S I want to keep it as it was made so I don't want to put discs on . many thanks rich

that's great if you could . I don't want to burn anything out so id rather check before I start moving wire around .

that's what I thought . now im wondering if the rest of it is correct has anybody got a diagram or something ?

hi all iv just brought a 200tdi and the glow plug relay was unplugged so I pluged it in and then it seemed to be stoping on and I was getting white smoke so I brought a new relay and that's the same . while digging around in the battery box I noticed the thick brown wire was connected to the negative can anybody tell me if this is correct ? I was under the impression brown was an unfused feed so I thought it would be possative not negative.
