  1. I've moved on to a point where I have finished pretty much all but the brake lines now. All the pipes I have removed were formed by a cowboy and nearly all clips have long since disappeared. Somebody out there must have photographs of the pipes in the correct form or be able to point me to a previous thread? Thanks in advance.
  2. Hello, I'm presently trying to bring new life to a very rotten Defender 300tdi RHD and wonder if anybody could point me to a drawing which would show the original positions of the plastic clips that push into the chassis. I will need to drill the holes in the chassis for all the different (single clips, smaller doubles and the large doubles) clips used for brake pipes fuel lines etc. and would like to locate them as per original. Hopefully such a drawing exists? Many thanks in advance.
  3. Thanks for the replies people. I must confess I've not visited the forum for over three years when I found it very helpful with my 90 Turbo - 200TDi conversion, unfortunately I sold that a year later when our second child was due (thought I'd better get something with more seats). I bought a Disco and have regretted the decision although I'd never say it was a bad vehicle to own. I've now bought a factory 300TDi and want to keep it as long as possible (forever?) hence my interest in the chassis swap. The video of the 48 hour swap concerns me a little as there are at least four people working taking the hour count well above my "prefered" target of 80 hours. Obviously I had intended to have at hand when the time comes: *Engine and gearbox mounts *Bush kit (are polys the way to go?) Timing belt changed under 20000 ago so that can stay although I'll take a peek, clutch fairly recent too. Shocks I can hopefully use the old depending on further investigation. I had considered buying stainless nuts and bolts but have been advised against it and am now convinced mild is best with plenty coppaslip applied (planning ahead ). By chance does anyone know of an available list of the fixings needed as I would like them to hand. I have been offer the use of a hard standing (nice and level) below a high beam with chain hoist, lifting the body as one should be possible, I beleive this will save a lot of allignment hassle and time. Once again my thanks for all your help and comments.
  4. Hello I am contemplating rebuilding my 300TDi Defender 90 onto a new galvanised chassis. I think from what I have been reading on the net that Richards chassis' could be the manufacturer to use, but would be grateful of any pointers on any aspect of this job. Has anybody have an idea how many man hours it may take to do (I realise there are many variables). I would hopefully just be doing a swap of old parts in the main as all drives well, just renewing rubber bushes and the like.
  5. Thank you very much for your response, very descriptive and unfortunately what I suspected, this could be expensive. Kind regards, Jamie.
  6. Hello, since putting a disco 200tdi engine into my old 90 I have had many miles of happy roving. Unfortunately I now have a problem seemingly the disintegration of the injector pump? A while back after going to work I turned off the ignition and the engine didn't stop, I removed the stop soleniod tested it and all was fine, I then put it back and all was well for some time. Then it happened again, this time I noticed a small fragment of metal which was obviously the cause of the soleniod sticking, anyway I cleaned it off and once again all was well. Today I was driving along and decided to give her some beans (something I don't often do) and the engine began to hold back, release throttle and she runs fine and is completely drivable but every time you try to open her up she holds back. My questions are: are the guts of my injector pump falling apart? Is this something members have heard of before? How long is it likely to last before catastrophic failure of pump? Many thanks for any advice, Jamie.
