Donald Chapman 16 February at 13:52 Think this land rover may have been dumped in Everton Road. Drivers door open, somebody might be very unhappy to have lost this. Please share .

Ok, that makes sense alright.....

A couple of questions about fitting a 200 Tdi in a '79 88" Series III. I have an engine sourced and was wondering which Intercooler is the handiest to fit. The engine is from a '94 Disco, and I've asked him to throw in the Intercooler but he also has a couple of 300 Tdi 'coolers knocking about...

A bit small but that is the pic 'Manny' had up for: Land Rover Discovery, 2012 (12) Black Estate.....

If you look here the part numbers match up, STC4798 = CWE500390..... http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listing/12302/CWE500390-DEFENDER-IGNITION-MAIN-DOOR-KEY-BLANK.html

As far as I can make out the part # is STC4798. Craddocks are offering these, worth inquiring if they fit..... https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/land-rover-defender/defender-90-and-110/parts/body-and-fittings/cwe500390-door-keyblank-defender-2007-on.html

You'll have to put up year etc. to get a bit of help. Found this one, it'll get you started!..... https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/land-rover-defender/defender-90-and-110/parts/steering/qrf100880-steering-column-lock-90110-1990-to-2a622424.html

I've been researching fitting a reverse light myself so I can tell you what I came up with. On top of the gearbox where the 'knuckle' of the gear selector is located there is a hole to take a switch. It's on the drivers side at the back of the 'mounting bracket'. When reverse gear is selected...

Registered as Diesel.....

Thanks for that, I'll prob just cut it away so.....

I'm hoping to source a 200Tdi and squeeze it in, but am in no rush to do so, there's enough to be doing to try and get the chassis back to usable condition. I'll just plod along and keep on the lookout for a 'handy' engine.....

The 'Good Bits' are that it's almost all there, nothing had been robbed from it over the years. The 'Bad Bits' are the usual stuff, the front and back crossmembers are rotted beyond repair. The two main chassis rails are in surprisingly good order. The two front outriggers are scrap. Footwells...
