Can somebody provide the V-belt sizes (alternator, PAS-Pump)on a genuine Defender 200 Tdi (no air condition)?
Net search didn't help me, thanks a lot.
cheers

But here is a quick run down on how it operates:
We put speed sensors on each wheel which normally consists of a thin steel disc with lots of 12mm holes in it that the speed sensor looks at. This disc just sits in behind the wheel over the studs. The latest way that we are doing this is to place a band of thin steel with the holes in it over the disc brake hub and have the sensor looking at that. The sensor normally mounts off the brake caliper mount bolts. For a drum brake the sensor plate sits on the inside of the drum and so does the speed sensor itself.
The sensors (4 of them) are connect back to a computer that makes decisions about whether it should apply brakes to any wheel.
The way it applies the brakes is by controlling air soleniod valves (like the ARB locker valves). The valves apply air pressure into 4 individual air chambers that apply force to the 4 brake master cylinder that apply the brakes to the 4 individual wheels via the existing wheel brakes. So this is why you need an air compressor to run the system. Also you can see that the individual master cylinder must have an individual brake line running to each wheel brake which is why you need "4 channel" brakes. If you only got 3 or 2 channel brakes (or 1 channel for that matter) then it doesent matter cause you just run extra brake lines and flex lines if needed.
I don't think you get away cheap with this option.

It's the friction inside the diff which makes this work. Even an 'open' diff acts as a very slight ltd slip. But don't expect much effect. It may equal to two persons pushing in a crossaxled situation where you apply the brakes modestly.
