    Water leak in Timing case,

    it is a brand new tank with fresh fuel in it. 110 has a bung in bottom of tank, it has a sedimeter on it halfway down drivers side. Hopefully fuel lift pump will cure it, Will keep you posted

    Water leak in Timing case,

    God Bless Diesel Bob The 90 not only lives but drives fantastic, very sharp on the throttle goes the best it has ever gone. My mate got out of his 200tdi 110 then blasted the 90 up the farm road, he thinks the same runs well. Looking forward to getting my 110 one back when he has finished it,

    It is touching the Radius arms my 110 touches running 265 75 16 BFG on a compomotive alloy, but only at the very last part of lock, mostly lock is not bad. I would get tracking checked as if it is toe out that would wind the back in a bit,

    1993 90 TDI 200 -. Getting to the starter...

    I would check and recheck earths first maybe get a jump lead and create a temp one if you have to dismantle then other option is manifolds off and split it there as you will have loads of room then, just be careful with oil feed pipe to the turbo If you have not done the manifolds before then...

    Freelander 2

    Yeah i was being polite unlike his defender review to the guy, was tempted to do a review of the freelander in the same vein but thought that would be a bit off to a newbie
