The hole where the exhaust gas comes out or air goes in from manifold.

The leak to the exhaust is likely only to get worse over time. As a short term repair [ months] you could put in some rad sealant, like Kseal [other makes available] Advertised as permanent repair but in my experience that is not so and will give...

Alway's been called that in saffaland

Thanks for your reply, I have been trying to restore this vehicle from last 5 years gradually. From last year or so I am trying to fix things on my own as I have a garage and tools now. One of the core plug were replaced my myself without...

Something to do with leeks? 😁 I'll get me coat ------

Just out of interest @D1Nut but where does the name "welsh plug" for what we call "core plug" come from. Cheers.

The exhaust port seep could be just a tracking leak from a waterway through the head gasket to exhaust port but the only way to know is head off. Can see other core plugs have been renewed and the heater transfer pipe has been replaced with...

You put all the shims IN ! ? You may have to re do the swivel pin's/swivel bush's due to them having been set to loose. Swivel pre load involves using the right number and thickness of shims to set the load [ a pull of approx 12fp at the end of...

Swivel housing pre load and tracking to check.

I have said this before but back in the day I recon Land Rover had Man Mountain lean on the nut to do it up as first time removal has been the worst. The locking tab in pic may be non standard but one should be fitted.

The shaft splines and the arm hole are tapered so when nut done up it goes tight, real tight. [ if it was you who removed the arm you will know how tight they can be] The security lock tab is standard fit. There is a master spline and if not...

You can get an aftermarket one for about £55 and has done its job several times on my rocky coast farm. After a meeting with a hidden boulder it was banana shaped but had done its job protecting things further back.

It’s not a steering protector at all…it’s a hand rail for getting under it/ back out under it when those brutes break down 😎

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...

Still have one on mine. It is a standard Land Rover tubular steering guard to protect output arm and steering rod from knocks off road. Mine has a length of scaffold inside. [ met a rock or two in its time] No issue with its removal for road use...

The folding step is what was/is seen on series safari models. STC7632 is one for defender but should fettle and look fine on series.

Kept fluid topped up as you bleed?

Looks pretty corroded, may be a pin hole leak. ANR2135

Since the fuse box has been changed you will need to do as mentioned above. Since the vehicle isn't stock it's hard to say what has been done. Operate a few things and check which one clicks, then label them or you will forget for next time.

Loose engine mountings moving throttle cable ?

This is very likely if there is no slack in the throttle cable.

See your getting closer ... information is coming ... Let me write your introduction email for you. // Hello Landyzone people. This is my first post. I have a TD5 landrover from 200X Here is a picture of it with a nice background as I am in...

Wheels are Limestone

PEARLS OF WISD Clingfilm worked!

Progress made - with a couple of minor mods! Now to see if the seat cover goes on OK! Thanks for the replies...

Yes, common enough. I did that very job for a mate some years ago. Also many have had drum brake rear axle replaced with later disc brake axle. Box of chocolates as Forrest said.:):)

You can't rely on the axles being correct for that year, my son's Ninety has a Disco 1 front axle I do believe.

My bet is the engine was replaced much later, Discovery only came on the market in 89 ish. Mine is a 1990 Ninety with 200 fitted in the naughty's. Last year recovered the center seat and had to use later type cover. It can be a bit of a fight to...

As above, yours is not Defender it is a Land Rover Ninety or One Ten. Your 200tdi engine is a later replacement for original engine. There are a number of differences with 83 to 86 trucks from later models.

If you can get the tank down to half, siphon and stick dip while you have sender out and then trial fit sender bending the arm to get gauge to read about right. Probably the best you will get.
