So I went with the Recaros with the Defender rails and the removable seat bases from LRI Solutions leather/leatherette.
In my research everyone seems to talk about the SVX seats and how there are different from the Recaro cross sportster, the SVX being better.
To my eye with the addition of the removable seat bases and seat rails the aftermarket Recaros actually seem nicer.

Thanks.
This picture reallly shows it. I hadn’t seen such a good picture before.
I just checked Twisteds site, I see they sell the same seats with removable bases.
I wonder if they’re the same seats, or if not, which is a better setup?

Thanks for the reply.
These seats are designed with a lower thigh booster which is why I like them.
I have a set of Corbeaus that do have the higher booster and it does get a bit annoying, but the real rear I want something else is the battery access
-
Has anyone put these seats in their defender? I’m wondering thoughts on how comfortable they are and how the removable seats bases workout.
i know they’re expensive, but I’m a stupid American and you know how we love to thrown money at our trucks!
Thanks

Ok thanksgiving
i actually just ordered the 2752 to replace my 2755s
i have a Crew Cab and am hoping to lower the rear end a bit and soften the ride.
Ill let you know what happens
-
Old thread, but.
Prith, how did this swap work out for you?
Specifically, how did the rear RKB 101111s compare to the 2752s in the rear of your 110? (Ride quality and vehicle height is you noticed a difference)

Revived thread
I have the option to go in either direction with this, breather or no breather. Breather is already installed on my rebuilt motor, but I have the blanking plate and blanked valve cover if that's the better way to go.
Does it really matter one way or another?
Thanks

Thanks, from what I read it seems it's just a bit shorter

Digging this up From the dead, but as far as the slave pushrod goes, Dave from Ashcroft says to use the one from the 200tdi/lt77
has anyone used the original one when doing the LT77 to stumpy380?
Thanks

Vapor.

Mines a 200tdi

Pulling this up from the way back.
I have a lot of white vapor coming from the fuel tank, when it's running, not just after fill up.
It's a 1985 with side fuel tank. Never had the problem before, but I did switch from an old style cap to a new style.
-
I got it, sorry for all my stupid questions. I couldn't get away from the thought that the lead had to come directly from the ignition switch, like the old style. Plus I wired the glow plug timer backwards, I looked at the pic of the spades on the bottom of the timer relay and then reversed them on the plug. My mind has a block when it comes to this type of thing.
-
I just looked at the wiring diagram again, I think I may of mis understood what the red/white wire does. It definitely shows it connected to the starter crank wire.
-
The lead from the td5 seems to come from the ECU which I'm not using.
I thought there was a setting on the key switch just to temporarily send juice to the relay.
-
There are white and white/red should I hook these both up to white? (On the glow plug diagram below)
-
I found this diagram which shows the red/white hooked into the red/white at the ignition switch which makes sense, but I thought the glow plugs were supposed to come on for 10 seconds before you crank over the engine?
-
I'm in the states and I had a td5 dash, bulkhead, etc put on a 1983 frame, then fitted a 200tdi.
The switch came with my setup.
-
If the red/white goes to a lead that is hot all the time, would it eventually burn out the glow plug timer?
-
If you hooked up the orange/white wouldn't it be hot whenever the truck is on?
I thought it was only on when the key was in a certain spot. The first notch when you turn the key.
Yes, it is Tomaco, I have done so myself, but my memory isn't what it was so I can't remember exact details I took a feed to trigger the relay from the white wire on the first click. Let me have a look in the wiring diagram and I'll get back to you.
[Edit] IIRC I took the glow plug relay feed from the white/orange on the pos2/aux spade on the ignition switch. This feeds into a small busbar in the lower left hand block of the TD5 fuse box. There are spare spaces here so I was able to take a fused feed from here. I used a Tdi timer relay.

Great thanks
-
Is it possible to use a TD5 ignitions with 200tdi glow plugs?
On my other 200 the first notch is for the glow plugs, and once you turn past it, it's not powered.
doesn't seem the TD5 switch has this.

If it still happens with all the bulbs out, what does that mean?

I will.
In all honesty, the battery box thing has been more of a PIA when someone else needs a jump.
really looking forwards to the heated seats also, nice after a cold winter bike ride.
