I will have a look - thanks tottot

Oops should have said - 200tdi!

Hi folks my intake hose (part ESR184) is mangled and is probably end of life. The question is, do I have to shell out £60+ for a new one or is it a standard size that can be easily fabricated? Any and all suggestions welcome steve

I've been holding off replacing all the indicator and side-lamp units, prioritising other things, but the time is probably here as they are in a state of serious plastic decay

good tip! most Earths so far are self tapped.....

So an update. I decided to start with the steering column/binnacle as there was a slight looseness to the indicator/light switch. Took of the shrouds (steering column) checked all the wires Looked behind the binnacle, re-seated the flasher unit (which seemed pretty well seated) and annoyingly...

Hi all, Just put my 200tdi 110 in for an MOT - which didn't go quite to plan.... All the bodywork/bulkhead issues which I was worrying about - were fine - woop! However the lights which I tested yesterday weren't There was no n/s main beam, indicator, sidelight! - The MOT garage are good...

Hmmmm- I’m feeling talked out of the effort- although I still need to fix the sheered bolts

Ok, I’ve spent some more time trying to work out the problem and, looking and the bolt hole nearer the front, I suspected that an engine mounting bracket to block bolt would fit, as I had one, I cut it down to size and fettled all the sharp bits off and can get it roughly in place and it...

Ahhhhh- now I’m beginning to see. I took the plastic cowl off about 6 years ago when I bought the vehicle, as it was loose and flopping around. looking really closely and with a degree of imagination I think I can see where previous bolts may have sheared….groan! Looks like I need to drill and tap

Hi all, Finally getting around to fitting an electric fan to my 200TDI Defender and appeared to have failed at the first hurdle…. The kit is from bolt on bits and includes: -Fan -4 small plastic brackets -2 large metal plates -Electrics cable with top hose T-piece, switch etc -Lots of tie wraps...

I just looked at Kayfast - that looks to be a good place to use <I keep them in organisers, organised by type and size>. nothing anal about being organised!

…and I probably did it all in the wrong order as…. 1. Once the engine was fitted I was reattaching the down pipe and noticed it had a hole at the bend so… 2.ordered a new 200tdi downpipe which didn’t align with the rest of the (unbeknownst to me) tdi system so 3. Ordered the rest of a 200 tdi...

I got two bolts, prob M10 and M8 - I will need to check, but assuming I wasn’t being a complete………the M10 was too large for the larger hole and ‘I think/thought’ the other bolt was too small for the other hole. I did subsequently clean the threads with some taps which screwed in relatively...

Yes, it seems quite a faff. I found my trolley Jack under the down pipe where it sweeps under allows me to get it back into position, it now no longer has a td exhaust -I’ve fitted a full 200tdi system I think I’ll order a new manifold bracket as well as the old one is …old I will persevere...

Yes thanks, that’s the same diagram I used from my parts manual. I will try re-ordering and see if bolts that fit arrive!

Hi all, Having rebuilt my 200tdi engines and put a whole new exhaust on having discovered the previous one was a collection of original ‘87 tdi parts with more holes in than a holy thing (how did it get through those last MOTs?) Anyway, I digress! Before the rebuild I was continually irritated...

Right! Good news (and for me) bad- I took the advice and rigged up an external fuel source and plugged it directly to the filter and started undoing unions. I couldn’t get fuel out of any of the FIP outlets using this method but lots of air bled back through the pipes over about 30 mins. I then...

It looks like one these could be the answer NTC2223 - Land Rover Defender Fuel Hose Lines Restrictor as I can push rubber hose on

So another question, what are the name/size of the fuel line connectors that go to the lift pump, they are larger it appears than brake calliper connectors as of course the idea of making up a fuel reservoir and flushing everything out using gravity was a great suggestion but at the moment...
