Am I getting warm?

I have a 200tdi engine where is the fuel cut off solenoid? Thanks

Hi guys, A lot of defenders have been going missing around my local area recently if the info I've been given is correct I think 9 have been stolen since Christmas! Including my mates 90 that we found burnt out on the beach! My dad and I both have defenders and we have CCTV that alerts us when somebody walks onto the drive we also have hidden battery isolators steering locks and a dog that goes off its head when anybody walks onto the driveway but I still feel I could do with some more security. I'm thinking either a manual fuel shut off or wiring one up to a hidden switch somewhere the wiring is no problem but I'm just wondering where the best location would be to break the line and fit the valve and also hide the switch if I was to go down this road? Also any other security suggestions would be great! Thanks!

If anything the soft top is a little more protected as I have the military roll bar too

Yeah that's what I've been doing it just seems too good to be true law wise

As above really seems a bit of a grey area. I've been doing it. I'm fully insured as a 6 seater and soft top declared to insurance too but unsure never had any bother police have been behind me with people in the back and didn't get a tug anybody able to clear this up?

My defender brakes are pulling me over to one side intermittently and making a very loud squeaking almost like metal on metal sort of thing This fault is intermittent if I am to pump the brakes a few times the fault will go and not occur again for the rest of the journey completely unsure what this could be any help would be great

My brakes are making screeching noises every now and again but will go if I pull over and put excessive force onto my brake pedal what could this be it sounded like it was from the rear of the car I also braked hard before and the car wanted to turn right but went again after using excessive force on the brakes when pulled over

When taking my 90 roof off they were just m8 nuts bolts washers and spring washers I think I'd personally just put m8x25's back in with washers and nylocks

More for looks than anything but the extra load carrying potential would come in handy

went into a shop today and asked for a 2" lift kit for my 110 hicap the guy went over different prices and different kits etc and came to the conclusion that a 130 suspension set up would be cheapest and would provide me with the same lift is this true are 130's higher or due to mine weighing less would mine be lifted because of it?

cheers will have a look now#

And yeah the relay is fused It's all workin perfectly now on a switch I'd just like to have it all on my main beam stalk

Is it blue or white that I need for my 12v signal from my main beam? What one is the 12v

hi all currently have front spots on a relay controlled by switch on my dash where is best to pinch the 12v signal from my main beams to take to the relay so they all work together as i want the switch for my rear work lamp cheers

Hi all Basically my dad has a 110 hi cap We bought this for next to nothing knowing it was rotten knowing we had a big project Turns out the bulk head is beyond repair so we plan to buy a new one Some parts of the chassis are rotten too and we are considering a galv chassis route! We have found a td5 rolling chassis on eBay but I'm unsure if the 200tdi will go in? What are the differences? Just to clarify we have a 1986 hicap and we are looking to put a td5 chassis under it! Can this be done? Cheers Tom

Thanks for the help will keep my eyes out for a perfect donar and book mark that adaptor! Cheers!

if i was to get hold of a defender r380 would this be a straight swap? or am i best seeing if ashcroft will take the r380 and knock some money off a lt85?

What do you mean by modify what would be involved? Is this an lt85 box in that disco?

for example if i was to buy this would the box on it fit or would i need to be buying an lt85 too http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-DISCOVERY-V8-/111174948032?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item19e28b14c0

okay ive decided to go down the route of buying a donar car im toying now between either the 4.0 older range rover or a 3.9 disco manual i want the manual box if i was to get a manual 3.9 disco would the box be the lt85 that i need or will this box fit? also one of the earlier commens stated that some engines are not easy to get running out of the donar but surely if i have the car there it would be a different story but then as the 4.0 rangey is auto and i want a manual im stuck again on making it be able to take the lt85 id also have to buy the lt85! so basically my questuion is should i just get hold of a manul 3.9 disco and make my life a whole lot easier

basically i have a defender with a canvas roof and i have a light bar i had fitted to my old roof i want the light bar on but unsure how to mount it does anybody have any pics of this being done or have they done it themselves and how did you do it if so! pictures would be best if possible or any info on where i can buy a new one i can weld and adapt the roof bar i currently have but have no ideas how to mount i have seen this done before though

How hard is a disco transfare to fit?
