Ta!

Thanks Western your a star as always. You mention 200tdi retro fit - mine is a genuine Defender 200tdi - So will i need to connect it? Its a 1991 200tdi so assume its part of the swap over period from TD to 200tdi? Thanks again

Help please on identifying a wire. I am into my 2nd year of rebuilding a 200tdi 90 and have a spare wire. I have a thichins Brown (with Red tracer) coming out of the loom about 3 inch from where the loom comes through the bulkhead into the engine bay. it has an eye termination on the end of the wire and is about 10 inch long. I have traced the wire back to behind the dash binnicale but loose where it goes. Will try again later when i can remove more of the dash panels. I have tried to take a photo but its too dark on my phone so will try again when i get home. Does anyone know where this terminates within the engine bay please?

Morning, I split my front and rear calipers using the guide on here by Les. I got my gallary seals from "Shop4Autoparts" and the bolts (for a disco are RTC1136) I was fitting Disco calipers (Paddocks sell them) and they are 7/16" UNF Cheers

Yes I had my Richards Chassis about 5 weeks ago. Estimated delivery = 8-10 weeks Real delivery = 14 weeks Still very happy with it

Ok thanks, No they are genuine std LR springs - I just painted them. I have spring retainers fitted to the rear but on my (bearmach fastparts) list I couldnt find the part number for the front so only ordered the back. They came friday and now I have seen them they are the same so will order 2 more. Thanks again.

Ok, If you seen the other thread you will see I have started to build the chassis up. But... 2 things I'm unsure about, the pictures will show what I mean. 1 - My whole front axle seems to be tipping forward. 2 - The spring seats on the axle seem to be too far forward causing the springs to not sit straight. My old one has the spring seats parallel to the floor and the spring sitting perfectly up right / straight. Is this because the engine and weight is not sitting on it? Cheers

Thats brilliant thanks for all that.

Thanks all

Morning, Will a 300tdi Defender 100amp Alternator (AMR4247) fit a 200tdi Defender? If I take the serpentine belt pulley off and fit the V belt pulley off my old one? Can this be done and is it easy enough? Cheers, Spencer

I'm after some Help please, Once I have put the new output flange in (converting from 3 pin Disco to 4 pin Defender), I need to tighten it - Yes all the info I have looked at states 130Nm (you were spot on Boris) but this always shows a nut being tightened up. Mine is a bolt which has a smaller Ø than the nut so I assume should be a lesser torque? If so does anyone know what this would be? Also how do I go about setting my 3Nm preload please? Cheers

Ok thanks. i'll leave it there then. Cheers

Morning all. Started the rear axle build last night - FINALLY Its a rear axle off a Disco 300Tdi. Question is: On the rear calipers i have a Bleed screw and a Brake line nut. But what is the bolt thats in the middle of these for please? Cheers, SpenB

Thanks All, Yes Western just seen that. Thanks again

Thanks for the replies - will try a workshop I know of
