  1. Hi guys,

    need some help...

    Yesterday while parking I heard a bang and suddenly no steering. Got down to investigate and noticed something very strange. Seemed like the droparm connection to steering box got loose and droparm still tightened to this nikel looking cylinder came out of the steering box (four bolt type).

    ANy ideas???? I'm baffled. Seems like I need to print out the 'How to change power steering box' Tech archive right?

    thanks,

    bob

    a) probably, yes

    b) a photo or two would clinch it :P

  2. OK, I've read a pile of threads and am still no more clear on which thread/size of temperature sender I need for a 1992 200TDI (Defender) to match with an Autometer gauge.

    The stock one is sitting at the top of 'normal' but I know this is about 87C since the X-Fan switch does not turn on the rad fan 99% of the time so it isn't actually as hot as the gauge would imply (assuming the X-Fan switches are accurate).

    Anyone able to enlighten me or am I going to need to go pull and measure? :)

    The 200TDi senders are 5/8 UNF thread, and I'd say that 87 degrees is about right for the "top end of normal"!

  3. My mechanic at the moment is putting a defender 200 tdi engine into my td 90 , hes just told me I need a frame that holds the radiator /intercooler has anyone got a picture of this part as iam popping up to the landrover max show tomorrow and i thought i might be able to pick one up at the auto jumble ,cheers del

    Page 85 of the pdf.I know it says 300TDI but a 200TDI one looks the same - four flat bits that bolt together. Disco ones are taller than Defender, but th mounts at the bottom can be trimmed to compensate.

  4. Answers:

    how do you wind up a turbo and injector pump on a j19 engine?

    - fit a 200Tdi and tweak that instead.

    is it worth it?

    - Fitting a 200Tdi is a great improvement, yes.

    and how long does it last???

    - Depends how many miles your 200Tdi has done already.

    Seriously, I wouldn't bother. Land Rover re-engineered the whole thing (pretty much) rather then try and get even more out out of what is essentially an over-worked and worked-over 2.25 diesel. Be happy with it (they aren't that bad if you're nice to them with oil changes etc.) or get a better engine.

  5. I thought it was due to 'unsafe suspension modifications' the owner had carried out? Or was that just press hype?

    I assume you mean the yellow 110.

    The trailing-link arms that held the rear axle in place were also faulty, with one fitted wrongly and the bracket on the other having rusted away.

    I would suggest that the leading (chassis) end bushes were assembled incorrectly in some way.

  6. The other end of the light green/red surfaces behind the dashboard at a four way (white, brown, light green/red, blue/white) connector, which would imply a seperate switch / relay set up to only wash with the main beam on. The dashboard plug is called "Power Wash and Norway connector". The wiring size is just pure LR!

  7. Im looking to buy body cappings for my 110 van.

    Its the main cappings that go between the rear tub, and the sides. Im looking for the one-piece type. Also i think im correct in saying that you can get them galvanised. That would save me some trouble in the future....

    MWC2120 and MWC2121 up to VIN MA or MXC5973 and MXC5974 1995 onwards. Different numbers for even newer vehicles.

    There was a thread on this a while ago too: can't locate it quickly though.
