Jimmy Two-Jacks Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I've got the NTC9070 on my 90 which apparently is no longer available! Tried landrover dealers / specialists / scrap yards etc etc, no one could get one or had one. Spoke with very helpful chap at one of the landrover specialists explained the problem i had. The very nice man told me how to change rear cover from mine to a disco one which was the same barring the pipework. saved me a fortune & have done it again so now have good spare . The disco ones second hand cost anything from a tenner but you try getting the one i need for that?? you looking at minimum of about sixty notes second hand. I had a spare disco one kicking around so done what he said & all sorted in ten minutes fitted to the 90 & have had no problems since!! Here's how you do it!! NTC8288 to NTC9070 Place NTC8288 into vice with the large nut & the top, remove nut & keep "O" ring from under nut with it (there is a sprung loaded pin that will pop up out the hole, you can revove & refit later). Remove rear tin cover of pump by tapping with rubber mallet backwards, keeping it square whilst removing. Once removed you will see the large "O" ring that the cover seals itself on. Do the same as above to the NTC9070, then refit the NTC9070 rear tin cover to the internals of the NTC8288 the opposite to how you removed it. refit sprung pin back into pump, refit large nut & small "O" ring over sprung pin and do up. Swap front belt pulley & mounting plate from your old knackerd pump to your new one that you've just made & job done. (little tip for this ancrack all these bolts before you do the rear cover swapp) I have just followed these instructions on an NTC8288 but when the pressure fitting nut was taken off no pin sprang up all that I could see was what appeared to be a ball bearing that was firmly seated as you can see in the picture is this right? Have I missed something. I also found the mother of all creepy- crawlies preserved in pas fluid inside the casing what a way to go!!!

benlittle Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Reviving this thread from the U.S. Currently swapping my 2.5na for a Defender 200tdi. I had fitted the 2.5 with NTC8287 and planned to use in on the 200 - the problem is when the pump is fitted so the banjo/ stub pipe are pointing 'up' the stub pipe actually hits on the side of the chassis. If I rotate the pump (in the bracket), the pipes point down but then hoses don't reach - what am I missing here? Thanks, gents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I think you have a discovery power steering pump. The stub spigot on the defender pump comes out and up out of the back of the pump casing. I got over this by crimping the existing stub and soldering to seal and then fitting a 1/2'' / 15mm copper elbow into a hole I'd made in the rear face of the case. You may also find that the belt and pulley doesn't line up so you'll need to draw the pulley flange toward the end of the shaft. Alternatively buy a Defender steering pump though these are not cheap.
