    How much should I offer?

    No more than £500, as it's been stood for so long. There'll be a lot wrong with it.

    Disco 1991 Weight

    Recently towed a 200 tdi disco on a Brian James tri-axle trailer TT-T-307, gross weight 3.5 tonnes with a maximum load of 2.7 tonnes (it's a very heavy trailer.) Pulled this with a Defender 90 200 tdi. No problems what so ever. The disco was loaded correctly so as not to over load the tow bar...

    200 tdi engine

    Which company supplied the engine? A few years ago a similar thing happened to me. I ordered a second hand low mileage Seat Ibiza engine (VW diesel golf engine) from a salvage company near Lancaster. Waited weeks for it, constantly asking when it would arrive. After 4 or 5 weeks, finally...

    Defender 90 speed issues :S

    Speedo only gives an indicated speed, you may both have the same top speed as each other. Suspect that the margin error on a speedo at that sort of speed is almost identical to the difference you're quoting between the two vehicles. Many other factors would also prevent the two vehicles having...

    Wheel came off whilst doing 60mph!

    always use a torque wrench and avoid the guess work

    Ross on Wye to Oxford

    hi, will be travelling from Ross on Wye to Oxford with an empty Ifor Williams twin axle flatbed trailer on Saturday 9th or Sunday 10th May. This will be pulled with a Defender 90. Could possibly carry something large and land rover shaped in that direction only. Route will be A40 all the way.

    Attempted Theft Has Left my Landy Dead!!

    sounds like a wiring error, all you've listed that doesn't come on should be switched through the ignition switch if you look at the circuit diagram for your landy (apart from the clock...!) The side lights will come on ok whether or not the vehicle has an ignition switch present.

    warning light- is it diff lock?

    yes, that's the diff lock light. If it won't go off have a look at the linkage from the transfer box lever ("stumpy" gear stick) to the transfer box, to do this you need to slide underneath the vehicle. You'll probably find it is covered in mud. Remove the mud from the linkage and spray with...

    Power Steering Problem

    If the reservoir is full, there's no sign of any leaks (hoses and conections intact), belt not snapped or slipping (is tension good??) then perhaps there is a blockage in the system somewhere?? Is there absolutely no assistance at all when turing the wheel?

    Power Steering Problem

    snapped PAS pump belt? PAS reservoir empty due to a leak or burst hose?

    2.5NA question

    get 32 mpg from my 200 tdi, will do 75mph comfortably and is still impressive towing an Ifor Williams flatbed trailer with another Defender on it! Get a 200 tdi defender engine if you can. NA diesel only any fun offroad where speed isn't everything.

    Lumpy Land Rover 90

    sounds like the injection pump not metering the fuel correctly. Take it to a diesel specialist and not to a Landy (Franchise) delaer.
