hi all. over the past few days iv been noticing a wuuuring noise on my discovery 200. the noise only happens when i accelerate hard on 2nd gear and from there in 3rd and 4th. but whilst im in these gears and still moving and i take my foot off the accelerator the noise goes away straight away with me still moving. i was thinking wining transfer box or maybe diff. but with me takin my foot off the gas and the noise going i dont know now, . anybody had the same kinda experiences . and what did they find it was. please please help i hate it when mi land rovers poorly. cheers all chris

wow thanks for reply but i feel just as muddled up now .

hi all. im building my td5 110 . im at a point to fit the brakes. iv been looking on microcat which has totally confused me. can anyone give me a diagram of how the brake setup should be on a defender 110 td5 without abs. its got vented front discs, and solid discs on the back. also when looking at microcat it shows whats called a valve brake on some pictures but not all. is this somthing mine will need?? cheers chris

hi cheers all for reply what the members name lara ??? cheers chris

hi all, now i have a td5 engine to go into my defender 110. iv chosen the td5 for a reason but need some ideas. i want to heavily modify and tune this engine . iv been reading into performance diesel modifying and ive seen some people have put have put forged pistons , performance cams in etc. in reading this iv been wondering whether its possible to do this to the td5s. has anyone ever done this? anybody know who could give me some ideas on where to go for these parts etc? iv got the hybrid turbo and performance intercooler and turbo pipes . but wondered whether doing thing such as iiv explained the forged pistons and performance parts. also is there any modifications i should do to the engine with me doing modifications. ill be rebuilding the engine anyway so any information anyone can advise it would be much apprieciated. another question would be im having it as an auto . would the discovery td5 auto box cope with the power the engine would be putting out?? thanks for your help everyone chris

hi all cheers for replies. much apprieciated

hi all. does anyone have a 1992 range rover classic borg warner workshop manual i could maybe please download or does anyone know where i can get one/?? or is there a forum on how to change the viscous inside that anyone knows about? im sure its a simple job and self explanitary.but iv never done before so i wanted to check cheers all chris

hi all . when changing a head gasket on a 200 or 300 what hole head gasket should i use? whats the differences?? cheers all chris

much apprieciated ill give it a try tomorow. could this be why there doesnt seem to be enough power going to the starter motor to turn the engine over ? cheers again.

hi all probably going to sound like a stupid question to some butwhere does the earthing cable attach to on the starter motor on a discovery. and then where do i earth it to? cheers iv been looking at the wiring diagram for a discovery auto set up but it doesnt say where to earth it to or from? cheers all chris

hi the earth lead has confused me a bit . when i look at a discovery 2 td5 wiring diagram theres an earth lead that goes from the starter motor to the same place as where the battery earth earths off to. but when you look at a defender td5 diagram there isnt one. you think maybe its worth putting one on to the starter motor like the discovery one maybe?? thanks again chris

hi steve cheers for confirming. any ideas as to why the engine struggles to turn over now. iv put a range rover viscous transfer box on and a discovery 2 auto box. ever since puttin them on when iv come to start it for the first time the its like the engine is siezed which it isnt. iv litterally just rebuilt it and checked it everything works before fitting the gearboxes etc,. also you wouldnt know if the discovery 2 td5 auto starter motors are different from the defender manual td5s would you? thanks again chris

hi all just a quick question. im putting a td5 discovery auto box on my defender td5. i know the flex plate bolts to the fly wheel but doe the three holes on each corner of the flex plate bolt to the torque converter? sorry if it seems a stupid question but i just wanted to check first. cheers all chris
