Hey guys What are my options for caster correcting arms on a 1985 90? I would normally just grab Terrafirma TF508 arms but the description states: "When coil sprung Land Rovers are lifted the caster angle is changed. The effect can be vagueness and a lack of self-centering of the steering. For...

Just been for a run out in the 90 today... still running super smooth but no sign of that glow plug tip releasing itself. It's been up to temp for around 30 miles, I guess it's a wait and see kind of game. It'll get loads of use running back and forth to Keith Gott for a few spares for the rest...

Oh wow, that long! Well, it'll give me something to stress about until it resolves itself ... :( let's hope it happens soon

Yeah just the tip left... Just a bit too far for any combination of long tweezers... Needle nose pliers... Even just sucking it out with an oil filler pump... I'm hoping running it up helps... Only restricted as needs a water pump before I can really take it for a spin. Monday or Tuesday will...

Steve no not exactly ... What is not in this pic is what is still in the top of the glow plug orifice...

A well serviced 200tdi should not be sluggish as standard. Both of mine are quick off of the mark and pull well. I haven't changed any boost settings. Fix that before you try and boost your way around a much larger problem.

(Of course, i'll be carrying the new glow plug... so as soon as I get a 'bang' I will pull over and investigate/install the new glow plug/go get a pint and celebrate not paying for a head rebuild. And order a full roll cage for the vehicle instead!)

Thanks for your help folks. Im unfortunately away on work until Sunday but next week, my efforts will be continued! I've been weighing up what to do - as I really don't want to knacker the engine over it. It sounds like the chances of it falling in are pretty unlikely. I've got some...

Which is what I fear ... Having done some research it is said that some have had luck by simply leaving the piece stuck in there and driving a few short journeys - heat and movement dislodge it and then it fires out under pressure. Does that sound vaguely reasonable, and what is the effect of...

Oh, plus I did also turn the engine over to see if the pressure would make it go flying out. It didn't. I guess it's pretty firmly in there then.

Hey guys Recently got myself a 90 with a 200tdi engine in it. Was a little harsh starting in the cold so thought i'd inspect and change glow plugs. 3 of them, absolutely fine, very worn, so have changed. The final one though... 2nd one from front of engine... has come out absolutely fine, but...

Wow... is this still going? It's a trek for me to come and look but I can't help but be tempted! What's the chassis like? I know you say solid, but I looked a vaguely similar vehicle a few days ago where I ended up poking a few holes. Is it definitely totally sound and nothing of concern? The...

Hey Flat.your profile doesn't say where you are, but seeing you're writing on this local Greenlane thread - I don't suppose you're the owner of the Lightweight just by the mini tesco, popley, Carpenters down? I've always wondered if it's anyone on here and it's less than 2 mins from my house!

A bit disconcerting initially. But it actually made the front end feel more lively and less restricted on the road. No excessive roll but I'm running heavy duty springs at both ends. I do have an issue with radius arm bushings being a bit worn so my upgrade to cranked arms 3deg with new oem...

For reference I did it by driving the front end onto ramps, removed roll bar chassis mounts first. Linking bar was a bit more difficult with seized bolts but they came in the end. Swivel bolt can be tapped through as it has a smooth thread partway down it. Now for a test drive

hey guys As part of my suspension overhaul I've just replaced shocks and springs with +2 pro sport dampers front and rear and terrafirma heavy +2 springs front and rear. I'm about to do radius arms change, and I have read I am to remove anti roll bars to do this. I don't have any on the rear but...

I'd definitely be up for getting involved with that. I think I know the exact lane in the photos, it's definitely getting cut up. I've seen a lot of lanes around here with excessive damage from what must be comp vehicles making things as difficult for themselves as possible. Plus some other nice...

I've just swapped out my 7.50r16 Michelin XZLs on 5j Series 3 rims no offset, on my Disco which has 2" lift, to BF Goodrich MT 265/75/16 on Terrafirma's Wolf Rims 6.5j with a 20 offset. The basics that needed to be done to make them fit were: - Trim rear arches (camel cut) - Adjust steering...

Is anyone still up for heading out tomorrow? As I'm free all day and well up for it :-)
