Has anyone got Zeus Engineering's phone number?

I've just checked and that is a new website, so presumably was just down for a couple of days while they changed websites over. Thanks for looking though. Martin -

The disc brake conversion is for a 101 forward control and they're the only company that do it. As they also do disc brake conversions for series Land Rovers I asked on here as there was a chance someone had bought from them. -

Thats a company with the same name but up in Scotland, I'll have to keep searching. Thanks for looking. -
I rang them a couple of weeks ago about a disc brake conversion after getting their number of their website. Trying to get hold of them to order and their websit has been down for over a week and I can't find the number anywhere..

Needs a new main beam stalk happened on my 200tdi one. Exact same symptoms, only very slightly melted multiplug. But new stalk and all worked fine again.

Why not move the rear axle back with longer trailing arms? would solve the prop issue.

Mail order 4x4 are good for supplying Bearmach parts, I've used them a few times and a friend has had Bearmach td rad from them and had no problems with it. 200tdi http://www.mailorder4x4.com/4x4/products_detail.php?ProductID=9927 300tdi http://www.mailorder4x4.com/4x4/products_list.php?Category=Defender/Defender%20110/Cooling/Radiators/All%202.5L%20300%20TDi%20diesel%20engine%20models&ProductName=Radiator%20and%20Oil%20Cooler,%20Std%20material,%20not%20incl%20intercooler,%20All%202.5L%20300%20TDi%20diesel%20engine%20models Martin

Who do you use for online spares and why?
farmerboy_y2k replied to mikec's topic in International Forum
Usually LRSeries or MailOrder4x4, have used a LRDirect a few times as well and like the choice they give with parts, very happy with all three. Stopped using paddocks when they kept sending orders out wrong and tried to blame me, even though the parts they sent didn't match what was ordered on the invoice. Only used Devon 4x4 once and the service was so bad they won't ever get my money again! -
Your opinion please: Which engine for my 80"?

You missed my suggestion of the Rover T-series used in the discovery mpi. -

farmerboy_y2k replied to Soren Frimodt's topic in International Forum
Just to be different I'll say 2.0 mpi from a discovery, or the turbo version from a rover vittese or 620ti if you fancy 200bhp that fits a lot easier than a v8. -
Would be easier to use a defender 200tdi engine as the turbo is in the same position as the 19j TD.

Defender 200Tdi fast idle or stall!
farmerboy_y2k replied to Puffernutter's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Is the timing spot on? a friends used to be close to stalling when the revs dropped to tick over, but rarely actually stalled. Problem was gone when the belt was changed and timing set. -
Engine Issues (200Tdi)
farmerboy_y2k replied to Retroanaconda's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Or having to chisel apart a gearbox and transferbox as someone sealed them together? As for viscous unit, mine is a Bearmach replacement and doing fine. I've found the lrdirect website one of the best for giving you the option to specify what grade of parts you want. -
Most of the stuff you got me from AMD last time was Britpart, they just cut off the blue sticker.
