    200Tdi Heater

    My 200Tdi Heater is not much good and I'm fearing for my fingers and toes this comming winter. I bought the car in the spring and have not been impressed with the heat pushed out by the heater. Prety poor compared to my old TD5 Discovery. I have talked to a couple of friends that have...

    200 Tdi front UJ

    The ball seals on my 200 Tdi front UJ/steering joints are leaking. They currently have oil in them, but I'm told you can put in a one shot greese instead. Is this so and is the greese enough to get into the bearings? Whats it called and where to get it? Val.

    Heated windscreen

    I'd like to fit a headted screen to my 200 Tdi 90. I had one on my discovery and bloody useful it was too. Made a big difference to 4am starts in the winter. Plus considering how poor the cab heater is in the defender I think it will be a big bennefit too. I've seen screens and looms for the...

    90 roof lining

    My 200 Tdi 90 has no roof lining. I guess it was binned or sold when the car was rechassied as the paint is like new. I'm struggling to fins a SH one, but I was wondering if I will need to get a fitting kit and if there is any form of insulation that fits between the lining and the roof? Also...

    Rock slider sill protectors

    I have Rock sliders fitted to my 200 Tdi 90. They are very high and make getting in and out difficult. Especially for the wife. Cau I fit the LD standard folding step? Or is there one that works with them. Failing that I may replace them with something more appropriate. Are they easy to...
