still good, I have a mate who won't having anything but leafs and he's managed every pay and play and grene lane in the south. Why waste a good 2a? build a 90 and sell the 2a to someone who wants it. £180, is it worth it? no.

two Numax X-eng split charge - job done.

I have got exactly this problem! I have no isolators yet though and would like to keep the motor fairly standard. White90 what did you use to level the batteires up? They sit sloped unless packed up due to the shape of the box. Also are the clamp bolts long enough?

undo the three bolts not the big nut

PM'd you Perv

My mate has made a right tit of himself, he was removing the timing chest off his 200tdi defender engine, and cleverly undid the big nut on the end of the injector pump rather than the three bolts to remove the pulley. He retimed the engine and crank and cam are perfect, so it points to the fact the injector pump is wrong. Does anybody know how to get the steel flange that goes onto the injector pump's taper in the correct position? I thought there was a keyway the same as a 2.5NA pump but sadly not, according to my mate. Can anyone shed any light on this issue? That'll teach the silly sod not to follow Uncle Les' guide

I only got as far as a quote (for a hardtop) which of course is more expensive than your truck cab. My quote was a few hundred extra on top of your 450. But it was very preliminary and the offer different combos of cross bars etc. Does anybody know if a full bolt on cage is legal to use in certain events?

Why so much animosity towards a pair of carbs Very simple thing to set once you have learned enough about them, simple mechanics. You should take Fridge's advice wisely

one for Road Taxed trucks that cover over 20k miles per year and have winches worth less than £500

first port of call surely has to be getting the dizzy 100% right, then carbs and then cam. I'm no V8 expert but I would advise you to tackle one thing at a time and move around the system ensuring each component works right.

talk to Whitbread off road, They reckoned they could build me a bolt on cage, going around the tubular body mounts, bolting through rear cross and bulkhead outriggers.

I think I'm most worried about fitting the Britpart lift pump

On the way back from Peterborough on Sunday my 90 felt rough and a bit lacking. I had done some green lanes but nothing strenuous. I've ordered a new fuel filter and have a Britpart lift pump to fit tonight (can't remember when either were changed) It felt knocky but would still get upto 75mph ok. I've adjusted the tappets as they were a bit slack and have done 20k without adjustment since the engine was fitted. It ran lovely after and had 20mins sat at idle and a bit of a ragging around the field This morning I got in it to go to work and it didn't fire first pop (unusual) so much so that when I let go of the key after the usual 1 sec blip I was shocked it didn't fire

I would recheck the timing belt, looking carefully at the position of the crank and check the tech archive on here for confirmation

1996 300Tdi 90

Exactly my conundrum

the end of the steering arm that goes from the elft hand swivel upto the balljoint on the PAS drop arm. I'm after the ball joint on the end (looks like a TRE) Mine has a tiny bit of slop

I have a mate who works on Land Rovers in Sutton, South London. The work is spot on and he does a good job. He will travel if required. PM for his details.

Anybody know which part of the dash to remove/lever/break to get at it?

Crack propagation in action?

Morning chaps, my defender has a couple of issues for it's upcoming MOT and I wondered if these are fails? 1 - Wipers don't self park (they do sometimes) 2 - Self cancelling indicators only cancel after a whole wheel turn after turning right. Do I need to add these fecking jobs to my list of things to do tonight as well fixing the rear fog and adjusting the handbrake?

Mine didn't have a bumper for about 1.5yrs with no problem

too many flippin Disco's Apart from that all good, party on Saturday was non existant until we cracked the cans and managed to keep the banter going till 3am, much to the upset of a few old grumps. Gutted I didn't get my leafer sorted in time, it would had been grand to have done it in a proper Land Rover, always next year for that

235's dislocation cones and some longer dampers & hoses and you'll be laughing. my truck goes everywhere these so called "extreme 90s" go with their 35s and ridiculous lift kits

FLIPPIN HECK Surrey county council are taking the biscuit, that's every single lane I've driven bar 2 TRO'd Won't be worth living soon the way these lot are going
