Dear all Members so here goes small hissing sound from no4 piston right at the back of the engine no water in oil runs fine not even overheating its right at the back facing bulkhead going to take the head off and change the gasket is it worth while getting it skimmed as well or would this be a waste of time use landrover daily and cant afford to have it of road for long cheers warren

hi to every one and merry crimbo.. ok so here goes 200tdi discovery coming back from town the other day changing from 2nd to 3rd and nothing no drive checked other gears and nothing wont select anything so changes the transfer box to lock diff and low box and nothing still so gets it towed home by friend and checked linkages on top of transfer box they all seemed ok it was odd as there was no bang or grating everything was fine does any body know what the problem is or is it another gearbox to be fitted. it does seem as though something is going round in box just wont select anything. cheers warren

changed head gasket as it blew between cylinders 3 & 4 replaced head gasket everything fine for 4 month now head gasket blown in same place as well as between 1 & 2 anyway to the point when i was taking the head back off i thought the head bolts were not tight enough i did what the haynes manual said but turning a torque wrench 60 degress then another 60 to me(after the initial tightening) it seems a bit vague has any body got the final torque setting for this can any one help got the head skimmed this time cheers warren

I have a 200 tdi with the same tyres 235/85/16 i also have that problem although i have been told the disco transfer box i have (1.222) is geared too low with the tyres i have will sit all day at 60mph but hit a hill i have to drop it into 4th gear and rev its nuts off to get up the hill once on a stright back into 5th and seems ok but i rarely get the thing over 70mph on motorway too bloody noisy i go deaf after half hour of that i think i may have a similar problem but i have been told its the gearing wozzer

yes both wires are live when switched on and the headlight flash dont work either but the wire goes live.... also didn,t mention this previously but the oil light on dash is always on even if i disconnect it from the switch.... checked voltage coming from the blue and red wire out of that voltage transformer it reads 0.06 everything points to that in my book but i am useless when it comes to electrics warren

here goes the full dashboard i have taken out to gain access to all the wires. dip beam and main beam not working looked in the haynes manual page 13.15 (dip beam circuit) and i am thinking that the voltage transformer is at fault the light switch is brand new side lights come on ok as does the fog light, the relay behind the dash is working ok as it clicks when i switch the lights on this is a small relay next to the big coloured one but i have no power to the fuses that go to headlights what so ever has any body come across this before....... or any body got any ideas ...... 1987 90 defender with 200tdi fitted wiring loom is from the n/a engine

it is going to come of a M reg disco thats waiting to be scrapped

just a few pics of our morocco trip, brilliant time went across the atlas mountains and part of the sahara desert warren

can somebody please verify what i have heard can you swap the front differential with a back differential just by turning it upside down, been to morocco on a off road trip with a few friends and unfortunately the front diff bearing has a bit of a wobble and oil has leaked out but my 21 year old 90 got me home ok i have been offered a rear diff and told just turn it upside down and it will be ok cheers warren

cheers both answered my question my fan is in between the engine and radiator so it needs to suck i will nip outside and swap the wires round on fan motor

defender 90 200tdi engine electric fans which way do they blow ? does it want to draw the air into the engine bay or blow out towards the fan sounds like a silly question but read somewhere it is supposed to suck air in im confused now as mine blows air out onto the radiator regards warren

1987 defender fitted with 200tdi engine that doesnt really matter so here goes :- when switching to main beam the n/s doesn't work, now the problem checked the voltage in the blue and grey wire reads approx 10v to 11v with engine not on, now me thinking that its ok live feed there but as i connect it to the bulb it drops to 0 volts , i have the earth wire straight to body with others from idicator and side light and they all work ok o/s works fine Is it worth running a wire from the other side to feed them both cheers warren

so what were saying here nobody really knows :

not sure donor engine in when i bought the vehicle 200 tdi disco think(dont quote me on that) turbo mounted on top next to rocker cover.
