  9. Looks like the manifold gasket is blowing I’ve never had to change one in the 26years I’ve owned it, so it’s a 200tdi Defender what is it like to do what will I need as well as the gasket and I presume studs and nuts will need to take everything off to get the manifold off should I get someone else to do it
  10. Yes dropped from the block gave it a really good flush out with the hose pipe until it ran clean
  11. I drained off the coolant and removed the thermostat filled back up with clean water then added the oxalic acid ran it up to temperature drained and flushed out as far as I can tell all is well
  12. It’s looks the same as the one in my Defender 200 tdi 1990 so probably used on the change over
  13. Thanks for the reply’s I’ve ordered the Oxalic acid and will be on it when it turns up, I was thinking of dropping the coolant out and taking the stat out filling with clean water ready for when the oxalic comes.
  14. I would like to flush out the cooling system on the 90 it’s a 200tdi 1991 vintage, is a case of just draining and filling with clean water a couple of times until it’s clean coming out or is there a procedure I need to follow
  15. I have put the 90 200tdi back on the road after spending a few years sorting it out it’s amazing how one job leads to another. it now running ok and back using it but every now and again the clutch pedal stays down pull it back up and everything is ok, im thinking it could be the slave cylinder may need bleeding or changing ? Or could it be something else

The horn as stopped working on the Defender 200 tdi I have traced the purple and black wire out and seem to have continuity from the connector at the back of the instrument panel to the horn but don’t seem to have power when I push the horn switch at the end of the stork I’ve checked the fuse all ok . Could it be a doggie switch? As anyone had this problem
