[Brake master cylinders]

I am at present upgrading the brakes on my 1989 110 to vented front disks, I have already upgraded the rears to disks, I was wondering if the master cylinders on the later trucks which had these brakes fitted as standard had a larger capacity master cylinder?

[Transfer box popping out]

Hi all a friend has an early 90 with a 200tdi fitted, last week the transfer box started popping out of gear, and with a bit of a struggle would go back in , however over the weekend it stopped working altogether, I was wondering is there adjustment on the transfer box lever and could this be the problem? As the truck is about 3 hours driving away from me I havent seen it yet, what do you reckon, adjust lever, or is it a transfer box out jobbie? Thanks

[recon gearbox supplier???]

Its worth putting in a good box as the misery of having to take out a gearbox again because of an issue with it be it recon/2nd hand is a killer, learned this lesson years ago and now if funds permit fit and forget an Ashcroft unit.

[Rusty Rear]

Sympathise with you as I have just finished fitting a new xmember and floor to our Range rover, A bit of a misery of a job really, I had to use a sheet of 1/8 steel as all around the sides of my floor were gone too, make sure your rear doors close properly before you weld anything up permanently. Best of luck

[Sender for a Smiths Oil Temp gauge]

Thanks bishbosh very much, loads of nice things to look at as well

[Sender for a Smiths Oil Temp gauge]

Hi all, I got a smiths oil temp gauge from an old range rover, but the sender unit along with the engine were long gone. I tried a few water temp senders I had around (2.5 n/a 200 tdi,

) but when testing them with boiling water they all read high (140 C) which is as far as the gauge goes. I was wonderig if there is a specific sender for this gauge and would anyone have the number handy?

Thanks K

[welding drive flanges to half shafts?]

[Hydraulic Pump upgrade for 200TDI]

We fit the hydraulic pump on the engine where the aircon goes, using an electric clutch assembly to activate it, the tank can be stowed aft and piped to the pump

[Replace mechanical lift pump with electric?]

We do the same using a 12v fuelflo inline pump, we also add an inline fuel filter as well which also adds to the reliability

[Door Hinges]

I have recently bought both genuine and britpart.

Those from britpart arrived "pre-worn" so to speak. They had something like 20 degrees of play from the factory. That's far more play than the old and worn hinges they were supposed to have replaced.

If you buy genuine, consider the TD5 version even if you have an earlier model, since they rotate on a plastic bush rather than metal against metal.

I agree, when we bought a truck last year the guy selling it threw in a set of door hinges from Britpart, when we went to fit them they were worse that the ones on the landrover.

[TDi Clutch Torque handling]

Hi I am using a 6 cylinder 4.2 tdi engine with 500Nm output, it came from M&D with the 10.5 inch clutch, it works fine for normal road work, but start spinning wheels in mud and the clutch starts to slip and burn, I am sure audi never envisioned that engine trying to spin wheels in deep mud

[Defender truck cab load cover]

Nice Have you used hinges? Got any more pics?

Not really it was stuck on in a hurry one weekend, its an early 90 roof trimmed to fit a 110 tub. its just screwed on at the moment, would be better with a few hinges and gas dampers though, but as it stands its secure and keeps the rear tub clean and as dry as a leaky hardtop.

How about something like this?
