[Oil from water pump bolt hole]

have two 200 tdi one at 90,000 and one at 130,000, both still with original water pumps .

[How long to fit galv chassis]

I have fitted three Richards chassis , one to my 1991 110 Hardtop, one to my 1994 90 station wagon, and one to my son's 1998 110 pickup. Working alone and seven days a week, each one took approx three months but other than engine and gearbox and the transfer box on two, everything was completely dismantled and treated.I don't see the point of not doing this if you intend to keep the vehicle.For example it is the ideal time to deal with any rust on the bulkhead and properly treat it and apply wax oil while it is upside down

no problems, just so time consuming - good luck 

[Turbo heat shield - Defender 200Tdi]

Run both of my 200 tdi's without them - one for the last 18 years -no problems

[To scrap or not to scrap]

Couldn't agree more with Snagger, I have just rebuilt my son's 110 300 on a galv chassis and over the past 3 years have done the same with my 90 200 and 110 200. It took many weeks on each but the amount of corrosion I had to deal with in all three was considerable. There doesn't seem any point to me in not doing the complete strip, the results are well worth the effort. All three onto Richards chassis.

[Cable Clips]

what are these called please and where are they available ?

They hold the wiring in place on the bulkhead on the 200tdi and 300 tai Defender

[110 300 tdi chassis]

Well on with putting Richards chassis onto my sons 1997 110 and thought you may like to see what it was like under the cross member !! I have rechassised both my older 200 tdi's but they weren't tis bad at that point. New chassis painted and ready for engine etc

[300 tdi electrics]

delayed reply as it hasn't happened for three days, as soon as I ordered relays then all seemed fine so not yet installed.

Steve - the fuel gauge was going to full as soon as ignition on - I also noticed that with ignition off the fuel gauge went to full when the sidelights were turned on.

The fault may have disappeared when I removed and replaced the relays to check the part numbers so I hope it was just a poor connection but don't begin to understand why it caused those symptoms - will put in new relays and hope that is the end of problem. Thanks for your help

[300 tdi electrics]

Thanks Part no seems to be AMR 2548 - YWB 10027 - there are two on my 110 plus the wiper relay and the flasher relay

[300 tdi electrics]

Thanks for response, will get one ordered, assume this is part PRC 8230 ?

Don't understand why this would cause the fuel gauge to show full when the tank is almost empty ?

[300 tdi electrics]

Came to start 1997 110 this morning and when key turned appeared dead except oil and charge lights came on but no turn over of engine, strangely the fuel gauge went off the scale although the tank is virtually empty, temp gauge stayed at zero. Horn also dead but clock still running.

Went back after few minutes and started up and ran perfectly.

Just tried again and dead as before. 

Any ideas please where to start ?

[Intermittent clutch after replacement - O/D Rebuild (Combined Thread)]

Sounds like hydraulics to me

[Valve cap / cup ?]

Yes they are certainly there on both my Defender 200 tdi's, I lost one and had to order more; part no. LJC100270

[Suspect lift pump.]

I've had that happen and caused by fuel lines becoming loose at connections to the tank

[New noise from the cab]

Is the noise there when you are moving or only when stationary after a run ?

If the latter then does it go when you depress the clutch ?

 

[Uneven slow running. 2.5 D]

Fuel Lift Pump ?

[normal oil leak?]

Yes, in my case, both my Defenders do this when the flange is pulled off.

[200 Tdi Fuel Injector]

Argeed, but use proper penetrating oil e.g. Penal not WD40 and leave overnight and I have never had a problem.

[Crank pulley on solid help]

Why are the four bolts still in ?

[200tdi rear crank oil seal]

Thanks Chaps

[200tdi rear crank oil seal]

I have to replace the rear crank oil seal on my 90 200tdi. I am shortly going to change the gearbox, is it practicle to replace this seal with the engine in situe and the gearbox out ? Do I have to remove the flywheel housing ?

Finally, where online can I get a genuine Dowty seal ? Thanks

[200tdi spillage pipe]

Thanks, will get one - I didn't realise there was a later version - I am not surprised as the banjos are always coming loose and I have replaced the copper washers several times over the last 25 years, Thanks again

[200tdi spillage pipe]

Thanks, my 200tdi does not have the ones that run between each injector and then one long pipe but four long ones to a joiner

[200tdi spillage pipe]

Thanks, I was looking to find what the pipe is made of so I can order a couple of metres

[200tdi spillage pipe]

What is the correct name for the type of pipe 1/4 od black that is used for the spillage returns from the injectors please??

I need to order a length to replace a couple, it is quite rigid

[200tdi head gasket]

I'm 5'6" weigh 10 stone and am 73 so when I remove the front crank nut I need to use an 8 foot scaffold pole !

btw - when I first did that 20 years ago I had removed the engine first so now always loosen this before lifting the engine - this was before the forum was available to me of course
