92a

That plate is behind the cover and its outer face is level with the two outer faces so the nato hitch squeezes the cover to that plate and it’s welded on , also to get to it you need to take the rear tub mounts off , I’ve got the same problem 🤔

The Wolf has a separate cover over the actual cross member only the “nato” holes go through on my one , I am not sure if this complicates things?

Thanks Ralph

Can anyone tell me what the part number is for the captive nut in the front wing that the radiator grill panel bolts to ? I used a bolt instead on the last one and I would like to do it properly this time, thanks Angus

The front timing case , manifolds etc are easily swapped between defender and discovery blocks the 12L refers to what it went in originally, post up some more pics or have a google or look on ebay to work out what timing case you have then you can get the right bits ,

P A Blanchards have genuine ones (esr3172) not cheap but they will be the best quality,last year I bought both Britpart and EAC, looked identical and both lasted a few months , the 1990 discovery I broke recently probably had its original ones as did the 1998 Wolf 90 project I got before Christmas ?

Sorry to re-open an old post but I have got a wolf 90 chassis ( minus it's A frame ) and assumed these parts would be the same as all the other early vehicles but the usual 3/4 unf bolts are too big for the holes in the chassis , no crow's feet on this one , and I wondered if anyone knows if the later Puma bolts / parts might fit the XD wolf chassis and if ANR4164 will fit an earlier A frame? Thanks in advance, Angus

Have a look on YouTube for removing “Land Rover pump with support tool “ trailer fitter has a good video, it’s the 3 10mm bolts that you take out , you can get the kit on EBay for £20 , I’ve got a spare kit (and pump) if you’re local but I would take the whole pump off rather than trying to dismantle it on the vehicle

Yes it does help , Thanks for the reply 😃

The second transfer box is still the same noise wise as when it went in, I did try a thinner gasket on the PTO cover to increase the preload and this may have helped but it’s still noisy, I am not sure the outer race (in the PTO cover ) was replaced and want to replace it myself so I know it’s been done , just in case this is causing the noise but I have managed to get both a genuine intermediate gear and high speed gear from Italy and hope to rebuild it again with these and the last thrust washers I’ve had squirrelled away

Hi all, I finally connected a boost gauge to my ( discovery) 200 tdi in my 2a, at 60 in 5th ( LT77 on series 3 transfer case) I have 11psi and if I floor it the maximum reached is 16psi before it drops back , I would like to know if this is about right? Gauge is a cheap 2 bar Ebay job not a calibrated one , thanks Angus

That’s the ones but I didn’t know if they were something more exotic than mine and would need different housings etc ?

Any one know what this is for and if it would fit on my 90 10 spline axles , ( 1989 ) Thanks

Thanks, but I started my post on the kid’s Kindle tablet then realised the pictures were on my IPhone 😷

I thought I could add some pictures to my post (but they were on my phone)

Hi All, since I first put the Discovery 200 tdi in my 2a I have never been happy with the different pulley widths ( 13mm on crank and water pump but 10mm on the alternator) and it seemed to eat fan belts as the 10mm ones sat very deep in two of the pulleys. I recently bought and fitted one of these https://gwynlewis4x4.co.uk/product/200tdi-alternator-v-grove-pulley/ and I now use a standard power steering belt ERR810 (Dayco 13A1025) and although I took the water pump pulley off to fit it , as I did it want to strain the bearings , this is just the right length for the discovery A127 65amp alternator mounted on a series 3 alternator bracket (with spacers of course)

Hi are these seals the same seal with 2 different part numbers and massive price difference? or do I need to order both ? Thanks Angus

Sorry all, I didn’t realise Tom was on the forum, it’s the same pair of axles

Any idea how much a pair of Unimog 404 Axles might be worth , I met a guy yesterday who has a pair for sale but have no idea what they are worth , they have been in dry storage for years , Thanks Angus

Hi , can anyone recommend the best people to recondition my 200tdi injectors? Thanks Angus

“Britrest “ Land Rover chap on YouTube had the same caused by the spring in the slave cylinder being too strong ?( TRW may not guarantee quality anymore) Might be worth a look?

Hi all, I was looking at a series 2 LWB earlier, any ideas what these fittings (not just the hooks) were for? One each side and a servo looking thing attached to the inner wing ? Thanks Angus

Sorry if this seems a bit silly but are the bolts that hold the plates that in turn hold the turbo cartridge in place actually M8 or an imperial thread ? I used a 1/2 AF open ended spanner as it was a better fit and it’s got me wondering? Thanks Angus

I've had a similar problem and the clutch drive plate spline was slightly damaged , I always try them on the gearbox input shaft spline before using them now, only takes a few minutes but I wasted several hours that day before realising

Hi , I had this issue and simply put a couple of 4mm aluminium spaces under the gearbox mounts ( I made my own engine mounts ) My engine etc is 50mm further forward to help clear the bulkhead as well, @
