I have a 200tdi 90 and I am looking at converting it to auto but mine is lifted and the rear shaft is at a good angle and shortening it would probably lead to a lot of trouble (am I right?) I would rather not move the engine forward if possible, I wonder has anyone ever done it?

It is a 200tdi 90 with 35's soon to have a boost ring and pin with a boost controller, upgraded intercooler, upgraded radiator. I had a higher ratio transfer box in it previously with 34" tyres and standard set up it was well able for the tyres and cruised nicely, I cant remember what ratio the...

you might need to check the wire connector minewas burnt out and light was only working intermittantly.

I thought that would be the case but I wasnt sure. I had a transfer box from an early RR auto which was a high ratio and I dont remember any issues with it it was a lot quieter to drive. Does anyone have experience of a 1:211 ratio box in a 200tdi 90 with 33's on it?

Hopefully some more experienced people out there may be able to help me. will a 36D prefix LT230 fit to an LT77?

Probably discussed to death already but I wonder if I might tap into the experience out there. I want to put a set of mud terrain tyres on a 90 which is lifted but will be doing predominantly road mileage. I knoe people will be screaming "WHY" but I want to keep the overall look of ruggedness...

A bit of an update. I have connected a Halfords solar battery conditioner through the aux power socket in the boot and as far as I can see it has cured the problem.

I have classic RR seats in mine. Bulkhead removed but no other adaptation needed. Very comfortable and great support, I would highly recommend them.

I dont see why. It is just a re-body really. My main interest is how the bulkhead appeared to be kept intact. The gear selector (auto) was very far forward, any of the previous attempts I had seen the engine was into the cab and the centre part of the dash had to be removed.

I was at the Billing off Road Show and saw this and was wondering if it might be anyone on here? I would love to get some info on how it was done. I know it is on a RR/Disco chassis but how was it done without removing the bulkhead?

I have the same problem. I havent found the answer but it does seem to be rain and trailer light socket related as the issue seems to me more prevelant when I am towing and particularly wet weather. If I am not using the trailer for a period of time it seems to resolve itself. I did also see a...

"Have been reading up on HVO and as a synthesised bio fuel fuel it seems a logical improvement over high polluting diesel." I think you have been listening to too much green party propaganda. Yes diesel does polute but in a different way to petrol. Diesel emits less Co2 than petrol but its the...

I have been looking around a bit on the net about doing this conversion and the general consensus seems to be you need a hydraulically controlled auto or a compushift. I would rather have the whole lot from a Disco 2 and transfer it over to the Defender including the gearbox ecu and loom which I...

Could it be the baby Defender which was supposed to be coming?
