BTW - the Tdi will run fine without an intercooler, so long as you aren't juicing up the Tdi. But it would be better with one. Lots of options for an intercooler, although factory Tdi ones would likely be the most challenging to fit. Throttle...

Series stat top onto tdi stat housing.

Throttle, defender cable cut down and home made bracket, been on there for the best part of 15 years now.

If you'd stop being a Freelanderer your misses would stop knocking you about with it & the pan will last longer. 🤣

Best repost that in the freelander forum oh and Welcome

Sure you've bought a Fairly overdrive and not a centre pto. The centre pto has the operating lever coming out of the seat box. Never seen a Fairy overdrive linkage anywhere else other than exiting from the trans tunnel. Post a pic of the linkage...

That is good lasted longer than my frying pan 😀 and that don’t go very far at all

10 years and counting on my 110 with nearly 200k miles on them. So I would say the Teflon lasts pretty well!

This was my write up https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/refurbed-200di-into-series-3-with-fairey-capstan-winch.352946/ Probs a few more peeps on the members projects thread with better exp of fitting it with turbo Agree fit your body parts...

Haha was watching to see if anyone comes back with the 200tdi in a series 2 , I did the 200di in a series 3 which was simpler as you can use the S3 exhaust manifold and exhaust , radiator , keep the oil bath filter and a battery under bonnet if...

Have you drilled the flywheel housing for the bottom 2 or 4 bolts? Exhaust I made my own, but think Steve parker used to do a kit. Rad I used the original s2 one, mine is the early narrow type and keeps it cool just fine. I did fit the...

There are many people out there that don't know how to use a spanner, the fact that you do and that you are willing to change a battery yourself, puts you into a minority. If you know how to, and are willing to, change a shock absorber or brake...

I got my chrome ones 7 years ago , still good, I looked on the Britpart website and they show both the Teflon ones and chrome, wonder now the Teflon ones last

Are britpart making chrome wones again now? There was a time where they only did the teflon ones, although they are reasonable and I have had no problems with them on my 110.

Britpart ones are decent, think they make them to genuine spec and prob sold with G at end of part number

Bearings and bush's yes. Chrome repair another matter although minor pitting by filling with an epoxy resin and will last if done right. [well prepared clean surface.]

Do you have tow bar electrics ? My RHR indicator failed to work off the switch, despite having ground and feed. Going through the wiring I found an unused towbar loom. Once disconnected - Voila'. Don't ask me why.

Yours looks great Mate, Nice and clean, Now the bloody hard bit begins getting things swapped about for conversion , just drained all oils in gearbox , transfer box and fairey , gonna top up with new oil today. Then wondering if I should fit...

Sounds very like mine

Finally got it started, had a bit of trouble with getting fuel running with broken return pipe and stuck banjo bolt . Finally got fuel running to Injectors and it fired up first time. seems to sound good but still not sure.

Where various lights come on unexpectedly I’ve found it’s poor earths, If you have the wiring diagram , the colours very simple to identify so it would have been either live or negative issue . So remaking the earths around the front grille...

If in doubt, check the earth's

Redo the earths should help

I initially thought it was the white/red cable from the ignition switch getting re-energised. However, that's not the case. The ground (black) cable is getting the juice and causing the relay to re-activate.

Don't know if this will help but a couple of years ago my 2a would spin over slowly only if it had a fully charged battery after checking connections and replacing starter solenoid I tried starter with good jump cables direct to a battery...

Typically the battery reccommended for the TD4 is a 60AH type 027. The Boch variant (Bosch S4005 Battery) fits that criteria. So 60AH. This means you can draw 1 amp for 60 hours although the battery will be 'flat' after 40 hours. You'd need to...

Don’t know the defender but is the thin wire on solenoid still getting a continuous 12v after you release the ignition switch from cranking

Totally. Current house was chosen exactly for that. Too old to be minding tools on the side of the road.

Quickest , drop in brick acid for 2 hours I do like the look of that and the best model, cleaned up the original patina will look great
