Quick googling told me that the white one goes to the top connector, linking the starter mortor to the coil. Makes sense, given the wire color. Apparently not necessary, I'll still fit a new female connector to wire everything up properly. As...

Wooooottttttt????? Even though it's falling down?????? :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Removed the cover off the top of the injection pump and the boost diaphragm is immaculate with no holes or splits whatsoever. It did have oil on top however but I suspect this is from years ago when my head gasket failed and the engine ran away...

Hello all, Job done. Front ones to do now! Thanks to everyone for the advice, most useful.

Done for today. The black and purple wire is for a, according to the workshop manual, optional hand brake indicator. So I left that one unconnected. The starter motor wiring and the speedo cable were a hell of a job so. Mostly done after all...

Just so you get this right Land Rover Ninety and One Ten models built before 1990 are not Defenders. The Defender name only came in with the arrival of the TDi 200 engine model.[same as disco] This can be important when ordering parts. John...

Thanks so much for your info! Im abroad with a massive puddle of oil under car and im wondering if you have any photos of how the sleeve was modified to fix mine . Many thanks

From myself but I cant to shake me🤷

🤣 It's still going 😅

Get them to look the haldex clutch filter and clutch oil on the nose of the rear diff👍

Its coming on mate, made the wheel arch repair out of three pieces so far, small piece of channel to make at bottom, used cardboard templates, then doing repair piece for the centre cill, would have to be the back part were it tapers, inner cill...

Yep useful thank you. It was a loose earth wire. I’ve attached it to the auxiliary control panel screw and working just fine now!

Got revised quote from LR specialist local and it is over £1400 ! So I've booked in with Bells but not till sept due to no availability. Not sure if it needed bearings and brakes doing so might have wasted a fair amount there but hopefully get...

... lawn has been mown. A sack of pallet-wood has been chopped up into easy to use kindling sized pieces for the wood-burner. The Rib-eye steak has been salted for later cooking on the barbecue. Herself wants me to make a decking addition...

Something I never thought of before. On Wednesday when me n mates met up at our rally, they had set up their camper vans and me my little tent. So who got volunteered to go for the take-away curries because his Landy was still mobile? ------

They are. Very pricey but you gets what you pay for.

So Defender up to 1990 would be ok ?

I do hope the hymn sheet we are all looking at is the right one!! 🤣

I think I may have finally found a supplier of the capacitors I will need to fix the dodgy stats in this house. Phew, it has been a pain. Now just need to get some gea and get on wiv it!!

I can see now where the designer of the Freelander got his inspiration from when he got his crayons and drawing board out.

Like your thinking ....

He said in post #3 there was no oil in the bellhousing and they changed the rear crankshaft oil seal, so unless it is clutch fluid, which would lead to a drop in the level.....(and I can't see easily how that would get in there.) So liking your...

Braking the screen would be my biggest worries🤯 I can't remember, it's been a while since I replaced my own... 🫣

Nowt like one from the Boer war era!! Our neighbours in Hull used one, no pole other than the centre one, but loads of pegs attaached to guy ropes. 🤣

The one we had as kids (so 50s 60s) I used to take my ex around Scotland when we first met. It stayed in my dad's garage until he died ('98) when we gave it to the local scout group who were amazingly grateful. Bukta. Brilliant! Best of luck in...

Me too, as did Nole Edmonds. Git lived near us too. 🤣
