    How are you fitting your air filter? Or is yours on the standard mount off the block?

    Defender Tdci bulkhead on a 300 tdi

    Water float is a good idea. I used a td5 warning light system, could easily add it into one of the spare lights in that though Are you putting boost guage or egt guage in? I think I'm going to so I can tune it without worrying about melting anything Which lights did you use? I was gana use the...

    90 battery issue

    If you have a multimeter measure the battery voltage when turning over if goes low battery is knackered. Might show 12 or 13 normally till put load on. Check connections tight too a bad connection can make it picky too. Or could be alternator not charging/drain as mentioned

    1988 with 200tdi.. which snorkel??

    I can't tell from the pic but I can't' see a pipe from the air filter going to that. Doesn't look like a standard setup Think a standard 200tdi usually has filter at passenger side front of engine bay. Not certain though I have a 300Tdi

    1988 with 200tdi.. which snorkel??

    You can put the snorkel where ever you can get it to fit. I know 300 tdi go onto drivers side easy but you can put it left or right. Wherever it's best to locate your pipework

    1988 with 200tdi.. which snorkel??

    If you get a snorkel get one that has a pipe that comes into the engine bay not the ones that seal by clamping through the wing.

    Air filter and Snorkel

    Unless you plan on deep wading or super dusty off roading I wouldn't put one on. There's no need You can get them on ebay and other parts sites, if you look for your breather pipes you'll see if they just poke up like normal ones or if they're lengthened and sealed like a wade kit. Should be...

    110 300TDI under bonnet switch live.....

    I don't see why you'd want perm live. Just put on sidelights circuit and turn on sidelights when get in; My van ones more annoying soon as you turn on ignition headlights come on so you have to turn to sidelights unless you want headlights always on. Seems bit pointless giving you a light dial...

    Optimill Door hinges and heated mirrors - how?

    Very true! :p wouldn't waste on them either though! Unless i was going rock sliding haha Snorkels are most amusing they actually make it harder to see and unless you live in a desert or trawl rivers I can't see a point :D Heated windscreens are awesome though

    It's almost like someone did the front uj then got very distracted... 18 years if mine is a judge! New ones won't last as long the seals were crap on the fleabay ones. Went for the stronger ones too. The main part was good just the seals that sucked. Should be okay if I remember they're...

    I put nipples in mine when I rebuilt it and normal ones with the nipples between the cups fitted fine (makes no sense why they aren't factory fit) normal angle though probably need them there on the cup for the ops kind of angle

    QUESTION FOR CHANGING GEAR DEFENDER 90 TD5

    My disco is stiff on that too, the 90 was too till I swapped the gear oil, some were filled incorrectly with atf, mtf94 I think was the better option. Removed it on 90 not done the disco yet, lacking time and effort
