I wonder if only 110s had the M in the vin? My white 90 used to say estate on the V5 but the 7th letter is B?
-
Thanks, any idea what thread it should be ? I have never had anything to do with a V8 before

Hi , I’ve gone back and stuck a pencil in the hole , I put a cable tie in the hole and it went right into the block , the pencil seems to go through the outer cover them stop so I wondered if there’s a thread in there?

Hi, I’m struggling with a friends series v8 conversion , I’ve been chasing an oil leak which everyone thought was from the power steering , but I have just seen where it’s coming from, this is looking upwards and there is a hole next to the sump bolts (between the webs ) that oil spits out of, any ideas why ? Thanks Angus

also a look in the fuel filter to see if it's full after a run can be worth a try , I've just replaced the lift pump on my 300 tdi as mine was only half full and wouldn't bleed on the lever , filter is full and bleeds up easily now
-
I've also put a Glencoyne spacer on my 200tdi , mines in a series , seemed to help on the long drag up the M25 slip road to J8 at Reigate , just seemed to have a bit more power and a few more MPH all the way up, this my favourite place to check the performance of my Land Rovers

I put a set of used Puma doors on my 90 , If you keep and eye out on eBay and buy two doors rather than wait for a pair they can still be found for sensible price , mine came as a pair in the right colour for under a grand last year , just make sure who you buy from

I pull the coils apart a little and then holding one end in place work the spring round gradually with a blunt screwdriver but it is a fiddly job

Thanks for the ideas, the washers were put there as the crimped part of the hose hits the ram (not by me) the other hose has a much better end on it seems to have a seal built in I don't know why the manufacturer didn't do the same on both? The holes in the ram are different sizes so they can't get muddled up , I'll try to get some Dowty washers and see if that improves things ,

Hi , I’m trying to get a friends 2a finished off but although he has spent a lot of money it still has major issues, He had power steering fitted but to get the hose to fit at the ram end they have put three copper washers as spacers but these leak any ideas of a suitable fitting that would work in place of these ? Thanks Angus

Not sure why your’s was round the other way ? but if you’re pushing out original bushes you can push the centre metal sleeve and rubber bit out then cut the “outer” sleeve to weaken it and collapse it inwards ( don’t cut into or damage the panhard rod )

It curves round it on both of mine

Old post but recently found this,

I've got these from Island 4x4 or Blanchard's before just see who is cheaper with the postage and packing ?

I have one just above the alternator on my 300 tdi ? ( but does not mean it should actually be there ) There’s a couple across the top of the bell housing too?
-
Sykes Pickavant for the flaring tool or get them made for you ( if you can find this guy on eBay I have had stuff from him before )

My 1989 TD 90 has always been a car and LEZ exempt but now comes up as not meeting the requirements but luckily the series 2a is classed as historic so can even go into the ULEZ,

Hi , I’ve been cleaning up some discovery 1 axles and found the number 14R90 stamped on the front diff , anyone else seen this ? The paint on the front diff looks so much better than the rear ? Thanks Angus
-
Thanks,The pressure vessel is dated 1981 but I will try them on Tuesday , I managed to get the valve apart and left the bits soaking in “Evaporust” so I’ll see what it comes out like , but I guess it will need some treatment to stop it rusting again?
-
Thanks , I did have a quick look but hoped someone might have a supplier they’d recommend

Hi , I’ve just got an elderly Clarke MK230 it’s got a problem with the non return / check valve letting air back into the cylinder and then it struggles to start up, I’ve taken it out but it’s really too rusty to try to dismantle it, anybody know where to get one ? I think it’s 1/2” male into the tank with a 1/2” female and a 1/8? tapping for the unloader pipe , Thanks Angus

Think you can rob the “loom “ you need off a disco 1 rear door ?

I just carry a roll of the tube behind the seats (with a fan belt ) and change all three pipes if one leaks , costs almost nothing and could be done every time you change the fuel filter , (I bought a genuine one recently and that still had the braided rubber pipes)
