    over heating

    Temp sender for TD is at the back of the head near the heater pipes and for the TDi at the front near the thermostat.

    over heating

    As "odenne" has said the temp sender for the 200Tdi has to be change for the one out of the old TD engine. Did you wire up the glow plug relay? I did not bother on mine just connected the old TD glow plug lead to number 4 plug. Mine works fine like that but will get round to the relay later...

    Defender Work Lights

    Take the hint mate, get someone to do it for you or get someone who knows what to do with you to teach you, good to see you want to have a ago but about the only quicker way of a fire is matchs and petrol. Its a simple job but not done right bang goes the loom or worse your Landrover.

    LR90 - Alternator earth wire not connected?

    Sorry mate but that looks like your starter motor on the right in the image. Not an alternator. Thats at the front of your engine the starter is at the back. I am sure thats a Red/White wire comming from a bolted point, that would be the wire from the ignition switch to starter solendoid. That...
