-Alu intercooler (~£400 not fitted) -Tune the fuel pump -Silicon turbo hoses -Sports exhaust All of which need to be thought about thoroughly, since they cost money and may put extra stresses on the engine. The exhaust and hoses, obviously won't since they are addressing gas-flow problems.

For those of you how do care about the puddles in the footwells, I have tested my botox solution (see earlier post) a bit more now. At the weekend I put the pressure washer against all of the door seals, from about 6 inches away. I used to try to avoid these areas for obvious reasons, but I...

Good result then!

There was an article in LRO about different suspensions. They made a test course and attacked it with a stock defender, one with air suspension, one with "old man emu" and one with a scorpion "evo" kit. The evo won, the emu came second with air third, but only mildly better than stock. I...

Mine used to do the same. I found that it was coming in from the door seal, in the corner between the roof and the windscreen pillar. I poked some small holes into various points of the seal, and then pump silicon sealant into the inside (rather akin to a bottox operation). This puffs the...

Personally I would go with the guards, although I would have external since they is good for protection against branches too. Also, you can leave your windows open in the summer with no ill effect. AND....you can leave them open whilst eating up the motorway miles, without fear that your...

There is nothing about taking it apart in either the Haynes "book of lies" or the defender workshop manual. Having looked at my own turbocharger, I do not think they are a very serviceable item (to the average home mechanice anyway). Perhaps a specialist company could take a look at it for...

I am making a list of modifications I want to do to my 90. Could people post here, all the modifications they have done\planned, so I can get more ideas. I don't mean suspension lifts and engine mod's, I mean the clever little things you have added. As an example, I am going to fit a 90...

This is for a 300TDi, but is mostly the same for you: http://www.difflock.com/servicing/300tdi-timingbelt/index.shtml

As a first step, I would get under the wagon and waggle the prop-shafts to check for play in the UJ's. I thought my gearbox was on the way out for the same reason (although it happened when I backed off in 2nd). There was terrible rumbles and screams. Upon closer inspection I found the UJ was...

I have plans for my external lights: The front facing spots will come one via a new switch, and\or when I toggle full beam. The work lights will come on with another new switch and\or when I engage reverse.

Well I would like to know the same thing, but I will share with you how I had planned to do it: - Bolt light onto wagon. - Put an external plug and socket on the light and wagon respectively (easy to disconnect and remove light then) - Run heavy wire from the socket, behind the window...

I would be interested to know, if the design of the Mantec snorkel would suffocate the engine at all. The shape of the safari design would surely force air down the intake (if the scoop faces forward), whereas the Mantec seems to have less intake area. Any opinions?

Your turbo should be kicking out between 12 and 15 psi. If it is not, then I would suggest taking it to a specialist for testing....or swapping it for a reconditioned unit.

Since nobody has replied, I will add my 2 pennies: I would be very surprised if the overdrive will add speed to your wagon. From what I have read about overdrives (and experienced in friends wagons) there is no speed gain, but a large reduction in engine noise. The vehicle is normally able...

If you are still thinking of spending £4K, then you will have limited options. A 300TDi at that price, is likely to be in poor condition (generally speaking). You will have slightly more choice in 200TDi's, but these will still be very high mileage, well used vehicles. £4K is the bottom end...

Quick guide: - Firstly buy a Hanyes manual. This will allow you to read up on the various parts of a Landy. Also read the MOT and service guides. This will show you things to look for. (If you are serious about owning a Landy, you will definitely need this anyway) - Walk around the...

There is a hole in the bottom of the differential casings which allow excess fluid to leak out. This does, however, also allow water in when wading. If you are going to spend a lot of time in water, then you can fit plugs to these holes. Ensure you remove the plugs when you end your off-road...

I think there is a rubber bung inside the fuse compartment which goes through to the engine bay. Well there is on mine.
