[gear box help]

probably need to adjust the lever bias spring bolts, the lever should move easily between 3rd/4th in a straight line

[glow plug heater wiring]

The white needs to go to be ignition controlled feed [straight off the back of ignition switch is a good start] there should be some white wires connected there just use a piggyback spade terminal.

I don't have Discovery 200Tdi wiring info/diagrams so can't help with the rest.

[200tdi getting hot]

Defender 200Tdi should have the 88 degree thermostat as should the Discovery version of the same engine, could be your supplier is getting the older Turbo Diesel confused with the 200Tdi, the older engine could have a 82 or 88 degree thermostat depending on it's home country.

fit the 88 degree & go from there. my 200Tdi is 13 years old & has always had the 88 fitted, I did experiment with a 82 for a while but decided to stick with the 88.

both 200Tdi use different lower thermostat housing that the temp sender fits into. that would most likely explain why the defender temp sender won't screw in, must be a different thread.

[Defender Front Half shafts]

I can have a look in EPC but need the axle serial number prefix --- i.e. 20L

[Any solutions?]

[wibbly wobbly speedo]

Well I've got the speedo, now just to find the transducer part

[Side Lights]

the good light switch fails again, mine did a similar trick but just wouldn't put the headlights on dip beam at all, new switch cured it

["Removable" Secure Box for Rear of CSW]

The shotgun stowage box would be a good strong item, IIRC it's mountings attach to the floor & the bolts fit from inside the box, I'm not sure if it's designed to fit in one specific location [between wheel arches] or can be fitted to the top of the left or right wheelarch inside the loadbay, also I think it has a foam lining fdesigned for 1 or 2 shotguns, so that wouldn't work very well with a camera, be best to get the accesorries brochure from the dealers.

[Replacing rear x member on a 90]

There's still a few with just ...... left in

Not anymore, they've been sorted

[Alternative X-brake]

that looks awful, much prefer Si's X-brake, easy to fit & use.

[RAVE help please]

In my RAVE disks the .exe is a Green Land Rover oval icon with RAVE.exe on it's right hand side not the Icon one hth

like this ----------------

[200/300 turbos swappable??]

I've probly posted this on the wrong forum really cos the engine's from a disco, and it's all a bit different again, but I think there is a bit of a difference with the manifold casting now you come to mention it. shame

But it's in a Defender aka 90/110 isn't it ? so you'll be fine here

[boost(ylicious)]

Excellent, any info would be gratefully recieved.Hmm could be another project coming my 110's way.

[200tdi getting hot]

Be careful with any acidic stuff added to the coolant, it nay eat the alloy cylinder head as you watch

[RAVE help please]

Dave did you get RAVE from the link in the Tech Archive

this may help ----------

This file is an image of the Land Rover Rave CD, if you cant read this file straight away, you need to do one of two things. Either write the image to a CD, using Nero or similar - note you need to write the image to CD, not just write the file. Or you can get hold of a program such as 'Alcohol 120%' which will create a virtual CD drive on your PC, freom which the file can be read, this negates the need to write a CD

[boost(ylicious)]

Callum, is that Discovery column stalks you have fitted & how difficult was it to connect/match them up to the Defenders wiring harness, got any more pictures & info about fitting them please

[Mud Terrians]

BFG MT's in 255/85R16 on my 110, got about 50,000 out of the previous set & a lot of that was tarmac mileage, pretty good on wet roads to provided you give yourself more space in front.

[OT: Please take a moment...]

Well Said Stephen very nice picture too

[CB, Ham & Communications etc]

Thanks for all the advice guys, I've ordered a Midland 38 from Thunderpole.

Just have to fit it & master the lingo now - must watch Convoy again...

wouldn't worry about learning the CB lingo, hardly anyone uses it now, just clearly spoken will be fine

[200/300 turbos swappable??]

Not sure if it's possible, looking at the parts book for both 200 & 300Tdi, the 300's turbo is or looks to be a integral part of the exhaust manifold assembly, 200 turbo is a seperate part.

[Wheel Spacers]

I don't like them & wouldn't trust them on a heavy vehicle like a LR of any description.

[Rear trailing/radius arm bushes]

I've replaced the chassis end bushes without jacking the 110 up, I chocked all wheels both side & parked it in low/diff lock engaged, 110 & axle didn't give me any problems.

[TDI in a straight six chassie]

Should be enough space for a Tdi, reckon chassis part of engine mounts will have to be moved at the very least.

[the bulkhead... how rotten can it get.]

Yep, checked & repaired the screen base rail, just 2 very small bits there, screen & it's frame & front doors were removed to do these repairs, [see last 2 pics in my first batch of pictures] I don't have the time to do a bulkhead change, need to use my 110 every other day & weekends for rally recovery duty & other volunteer work, I'd love a new bulkhead & get it galvanised but can't have the 110 off the run for that long.
