Hi guys - I'm on the search for advice again... Take, take, take. I've put a 200 tdi engine in what was a 2.5 turbo diesel and everything is running fine although the water temp seems to be on the high side. It's consistent and always stays the right side of the black divide - but I wandered if...

Would that still be true if the springs and dampers are simply oversized? Wouldn't their position and relationship to the chassis and axles be the same only the distance between the two (axle- chassis) would be greater?

Guys, thanks for the advice I'm also not convinced as when I back it out of the work car park I can get it alongside a standard td5 and we seem to be about the same height.... So I've just ordered a 2" pro comp based lift kit. At least I'll know for sure.

Thanks for the aknowledge, I've attached another image for your expert opinions. Woods your 110 certainly looks lifted and looks great, I'm still not convinced mine has been? I'd like to fit 33's if possible - it's on 31's at the mo'

That's not next to my name but it is close.... still can't work out how you all seem to have it next to your name?

OK - -more importantly how do you all get the little picture next to your name?????

It's too dark now and I refuse to believe you can tell from a picture! every spring and damper I've ever seen looks the same... You are truly wise! and I've got a lot to learn, I'm starting to think the best thing about landy ownership are the forums...

They were orange prior to waxoyling, should have checked first...

OK here's a good question for you? How do I know if my 90 has been lifted or not? is there a height I can reference - bonnet or roof height?

Great advice and it's shiny because I was looking to see if i could track new runs... The haynes manual says to get the transfer case of you should remove the Gear box is this strictly necessary?

I've attached an image, I'd love to sort this one out... Cheers.

I've just fitted a 200tdi into my 90 everything is working beautifully with a reconditioned gearbox... Now the transfer case has started to leak oil! Any tips or is it really necessary to remove the entire gearbox again? Cheers in advance. Paul

Can anyone recommend a Landy specialist in Kent / East Sussex? many thanks....

Will the bell housing of a 19j fit between a 200 tdi and an lt77 50A / F - come on you now the answer....

I can never trade it in it owes me too much!

It's going on an Lt77 in an 1989 90td - what else will I need assuming the bell housing matches. A new clutch is obviously going to be wise whilst the engine is out but are there any hidden necessary conversions that will cost me an arm a leg and my wife?

I've never entertained forums - I can now see how great they are! Does anybody know anything about wives? I've got a late 71 that's not particularly happy at the moment!

The Disco engines are certainly less expensive but the turbo and exhaust modifications along with oil, intercooler and power steering hydraulics tweeks push the price up and it soon seems to make more sense to pay more for a defender engine... or so I've come to the conclusion! bound to make a...

Genius! If you're sure the next question for ten is much harder - how old and will it fit an lt77 box????

Hi - still looking for a suitable engine for my 1989 90... Could anyone confirm what engine this is? I'm new to Land Rover and keep chasing discovery Tdis when I'm really after a defender engine for ease of transplant. Many thanks - Clank
