nothing wrong with a SW, just County's have a bit more soft furnishings & carpet instead of rubber mats.

You could always lend me yours...
Was it 1992 when the Tdi first went into the 90 & 110?
lend you mine --- not in a million yaers or pounds, love it far to much.
200Tdi was fitted from Aug/Sept 1990 [1991 model year change over] when the Defender name was first used.
-
Hmm I'd do it the other way round (NATO hitch takes the load, JATE rings for backup) but it's a good idea.
but using the nato to take the load means putting all the load forces through one point [admittedly via 4 bolts] using the jates means the forces are hopefully equally spread between the 2 chassis rails, so effectivly half load on each side .
-
that is most definately a fuse.
Either it's been replaced at some point, or LR used the (very small) resistance of the fuse itself. but thats a slightly bizzare thing to do.
Certainly has never been replaced, I took it out of the main loom when I changed it earlier this year.
resistance of that one is 0.8

I've never used a strop as a bridle, but can see the advantages.
If you use a bridle across the 2 recovery rings, how is the recovery rope attached to the bridle?
With a shackle? Just thinking in terms of where the shackle goes when it breaks
like this [how I rig my KERR on the rear of my 110, the strop at the nato hitch is to prevent the ker from flying about if it broke, doesn't play any other part in the recovery process]

one will turn up & you'll fall for it, you will know when it's right for you
-
Sorry, can't help this time, paper parts book isn't 100% clear to say which parts are 200 or 300Tdi & my notebook with EPC on it is away for fixing. you should be able to continue using your existing system from the downpipe joint to the rest of the system rearwards, my 110 has a TD system with a 200tdi downpipe connected to it, your chassis bracket won't match a full 200tdi system.
-
the XD/Wolf rims have different part numbers for tube & tubeless type, mine are ANR5593 Tubed but I run MT's [no tubes] without any problems
-
I looked at a factory fresh Rimini red 90HT today, on that the bracket/gearbox had the same space between them, wondering if it's for a clamp to align the x-member when removing/fitting it.
-
6.5 is the rim width, the J is IIRC the well profile, any wider the tyre will not seat correctly & you'll get a pinched in look, not good for the tyre or you.
-
Yep, take the screw out and clean both sides of the tag to shiney and refit with new screw.
-
probaly corroded light units then, best fix is replacement
-
and the actual JATE ring attachment?? Through original lashing holes??
yep, the genuine jate rings are forged in one piece others are welded bar/side plates, get the genuine ones if poss, RRC3237 & matching bolts/nuts
-
could be hazard switch playing up.
-
Excellent thanks chaps, with JATE rings would it be best to use a bridle??
Yep not less than 2 metres long with 3.25 tonne or 4.75tonne rated shackles for attachment
-
mine did that recently, after a slave hose & master cylinder change, it just got worse, took it back another clutch fitted & still slipped, did it with Les H's help, been fine since, probably a duff friction plate or contamination of some other stuff. fit a new valeo ftc1994 friction plate, see the 300TDi clucth thread
-
OK, Let me know, might be able to tag along.
-
or 2 x Series 3 D rings on top of the bumper, but I'd go with JATE rings.
-
maybe a good long run to get the oil really hot so it can evaporate any remaining moisture & maybe another oil/filter to be sure it's in A1 order.
-
the video shows a bloke in a cab, with a shiney wheel, joystick, and buttons.
that'll be his rain shelter
&/or the other variant. -
that's only a heavy haul remote transporter, nothing new, all hydraulic steering & drive, 1 man has the control unit on a umbilical cable.

Chilean transport job
SCHEUERLE Fahrzeugfabrik has received an order from the ESO (European Southern Observatory) to supply two special vehicles for the transport of radio antennae for one of its facilities in Chile. The ESO, which has its head office in Garching near Munich/Germany, is an intergovernmental European organization for astronomical research and has eleven member countries.
Not only will the two special transporters be working in an unusual environment but the tasks involved are also something out of the ordinary: the ALMA ground-based astronomy project will be located on the 5,000m high Llano de Chajnantor site in the Atacama Desert of Northern Chile. The new radio antenna park will eventually consist of 64 individual antenna facilities each weighing around 110 tons which are placed on 250 specially prepared foundations with every antenna assembled in a different operating position.
The tasks of both special vehicles will initially be to transport the antennas from the project´s central service station, located at a height of 2,900 metres, to the operational site on a high plateau at a height 5,000 metres. Once there, each antenna has to be manoeuvred very accurately into its specified position.
A further task in the future will be transporting the antennas for regular maintenance work to and from the central service station. This involves a journey of around 28 kilometres through mountainous terrain with a 7% gradient to overcome.
The technical challenge for the SCHEUERLE transporters lies in the extreme height which reduces the efficiency of the diesel engines by nearly 50 %. For humans, it is normally only possible to work with additional oxygen supply at this height. Nevertheless, in order to bring the gigantic 110 tons of heavy antenna systems safely to their place of work, each vehicle is equipped with two 500 KW strong diesel engines, which together have a performance of around 1,000 kw or 1,340 hp. With a total width of 10 metres, a height of 4.5 metres and a length of about 16 metres, the dimensions of the two vehicles also belong in the realms of the superlative.

Nige, photo as promised.
1. the fuse holder type thing
2 the resistor inside it
not sure if it is a resistor now, cos it has 2A stamped on the end of each metal cap, which makes me think it's a 2amp fuse. but it's in all my wiring diagrams as a resistor ignition light
-
have a look for a ex-AA 110 commercial station wagon, some of those had roller shutters both sides, other later versions had either a single roller shutter or lift uo panel.

yes, gromit, got XD/Wolf's on my 110 tubeless tyres, run ok.
&/or the other variant.

but I'm not keen on modular wheels, a mate has them on his old 110, just don't like the pretend split rim effect,
