Hi guys, Just looking for a reliable place to either buy or get my LT230 transfer box refurbished. I currently have a 200tdi on a short bell-housing and I'm not sure if I'll have any problems matching up. I'm looking for a better ratio for road use, so any recommendations are welcome...

I'm having a few problems with the tick over of my D1 200 TDI, below should be two videos of what it's doing. The landy starts up first turn of the key every morning no problem, however, I do have to clear it before it runs at a somewhat normal idle, by which I mean putting my foot on the...

Perfect, thank you very much!

Excellent! thank you very much, just what I was looking for! Much appreciated.

I own a Land Rover... I'd say my level of tolerance is quite high after a few years of bolts snapping, fuses blowing, soggy seats and bearings less useful than a Cadbury's creme egg. You haven't offended me I can assure you, but the answer is yes regardless, I check the tension so often my...

Bit of a long shot... Is anyone stood in their man cave at the ready with a tape-measure that could quickly measure the size of their 90's van sides, length and width... Or alternatively any Land Rover wizards that know far more about their defenders than their wives are happy with:confused...

The codes you sent are actually coming up with Bearmach belts, I'll wait and see before putting an order in. Thanks for your response :)

I've just overcome the same problem. To the point it annoyed me so much that I resprayed the whole thing and chucked my wallet at it in anger. I found with my leak it was from the perished foam gaskets in the ventilation flaps. To the point that the leak had caused it to rust in one corner and...

Eeeyup, chill out a bit guys... you only have one life so live it ;) Anyway, back to the question... Perhaps I'd be better off going to a land rover specialist and seeing what they use?

Hi Stanley, Yep, all aligned. I've just done the water pump with new bearings and gasket. I've checked and triple checked I've got the right tension on the belts, still the same results. The overall condition of the pulley wheels are very good.

Hello everyone, An easy task this week... or so you would have thought... I have a 200 tdi discovery 1 engine in my 1986 land rover ninety. I have replaced the aux belt for the alternator and water pump twice in less than a year. I have purchased two different brands, and both were as useless...

It is, but I'm exactly like dieseldog's response... shocked that it's done by the age of the chassis.

You'll wink and it will be here :(

Hah, yes... A bold choice in colour I think, I'm still adjusting to it. I think once the emblems and other accessories are on I should be swayed. I have yet to put anything back on her, I will wait until the paint is rock solid first. It's quite rubbery, more so than what the black was but I...

That's what I thought, but looking into it that's the MOT exemption, I can't seem to find the rules for Tax exemption :confused:

Hi V8250, Thank you very much for your help, I ended up using a paint stripper to remove the paint, as it happens I only had to wipe over once and the sander was then able to do the rest without clogging up. I then sanded, filled bashed out a load of dents followed by panel wiping the whole...

Not the case at all, I was simply asking for suggestions. I literally couldn't sand it off with 80 grit paper.

Hi everyone, So I have a C reg 1985 Land Rover Ninety and in 5 years it will be eligible for tax exemption. But what are the rules on this? On the Govt website it says anything over 40 is eligible. I am hoping it really is as basic as that. I know it's based off of the chassis ID but does...

Hi V8250, The problem I'm having is the black rattle can paint, rather than sanding off into dust it just clogs up the sanding disc even on 80 Grit, even on a small cycle... I'm going to etch prime it regardless but removing the black paint it just ridiculous, I'd probably have more luck with...

Thanks for the response Kev, I did think that would be the case, I'll just sand and fill anywhere that needs it and prime it with etch. Also, what should I use for the joins on the roof? I was thinking seam sealer, prime and spray?
