    Stainless exhaust 110 200Tdi

    Hard to tell my exact mpg change as I fitted the roofrack, rocksliders, ARB bullbar and more bolt-ons at the same time, hence the weight, however,I don't think the tuning (at a guess) has changed mpg that drastically. I would definitely recommend the intercooler and tuning, as the acceleration...

    Stainless exhaust 110 200Tdi

    thanks, was reading other posts, it seems straight through is done a lot, I've got the allisport intercooler upgrade and tuned boost and fuel, it goes well for weighing 2.5ton! Just concerned me that on long journeys I would get annoyed with the sound!:confused:

    Stainless exhaust 110 200Tdi

    My 110 original 200Tdi will be needing a complete exhaust system soon, was thinking of going stainless as it's hopefully 'fit and forget'. I'm hanging on to her for the foreseeable future, so am prepared to pay that bit extra for quality. She is used for camping/expeditions and my daily driver...

    How to heat a Defender?

    Everybody I know from the forums has fitted a Webasto or Eberspacher, my Eberspacher was cheap because they are fitted standard in Telecom works vans, I've no experience with gas, but I do know that a lot of air moisture is produced as byproduct of gas heating, unless the propex works differently?

    whats the best defender engine ? poll

    200Tdi: tough as old boots and bush repairable, 300Tdi slightly more refined but never liked the drivebelt system.

    How to heat a Defender?

    Eberpacher Airtronic run off a fuel line from your tank (or separate tank if you can be bothered), on a separate pump and connect to your battery. Initially on start up they draw 20amps to run the glow plug and then draw 2-4amps, fuel wise expect a litre per hour max, obviously the fuel...

    How to heat a Defender?

    As previous people have said if sorting the heater and door alignment/seals don't sort it, fit a Eberspacher D2 Airtronic, I've one in my 110 and it is the best modification I've done so far, they come with a 7day timer, so you can set them to heat the Landy before you get in it! They use very...

    Quieting down a 300tdi

    Lead is a very effective around the engine and transmission, bitumen based roofing flashing tape in conjunction with this is the business, extra weight I know, but you can't have it all. ;)

    Quieting down a 300tdi

    lining and insulating a defender

    I've got a 110 hard-top and used a big roll of 19mm thick Armaflex (industrial pipe lagging) bought off fleabay. Cut into sections to fit between box sections on the roof and spay glue on, I then used foil covered bubble wrap (B&Q) and covered the whole roof, aluminium taped the joins and hey...

    Sealant for Defender 90 ROOFLEAK

    I agree with Redhand: Puraflex 40 is the business, you can stick metal together with it, don't get it on your hands, unless you fancy taking a scourer pad into the shower!
