It operates heater flap(s) on non-aircon 200 tdi's as well -at least it does on mine.

It's all bolts and screws - and you will need to apply some mastic/sealant when fitting the new wing (or refitting the old one if you did manage to straighten it).

Yes, I think it's a safe bet the PS pump has failed - mine went exactly like this a few years ago and replacement cured it. I think it was fairly straightforward - just make sure you bleed it as per Haynes manual before you go for a drive or it might get interesting! Don't know about the...

As long as the diff isn't locked you should only need one of the gearboxes in neutral although probably a bit easier to turn if transfer box is as well. Make sure that the front wheels are properly chocked and the vehicle cannot roll while you have rears in the air (sorry if I'm stating the...

I'd be a little worried about swivel grease leaking out - are the swivel bearings ok? I had one collapse on a RRC some years ago and made the steering very interesting to say the least! They don't cost a lot (buy the kit with shims etc so you can set them properly afterward) so worth checking...

Can't you just wind up the boost on the existing 200 turbo? It will go to 1 bar - same as 300.

You're really not likely to need it this time of year - for now just do like you said and keep the viscous one in the back with the spanner to refit it just in case. The fan I fitted was an old Ford Escort one with it's shroud modified to fit and a switch under the dashboard - on the odd...

Could be EP90 in the swivels but either way make sure the steering is on full lock before squirting each sachet in or you will struggle to get the one-shot in.

Good idea, I took mine off (200tdi) years ago and fitted an electric fan which I've only used a handful of times when stuck in traffic on very hot days. Benefits are all as stated by The Big Lad at the start of the thread.

Definitely a good idea to wire in a split charge relay - search Common Faults and Questions for a good guide to it by Mad Hat Man. I was always told that if two batteries are left connected together for any length of time they will discharge through each other until you have two flat batteries.

I agree with Redhand - probably a steering column UJ. My lower one seized up and I managed to free it off for a while but it seized up again so I replaced it with a new one - massive improvement in "feel" to the steering afterwards.

Like Fanatic says, earthing the sense wire (thinner brown/yellow wire from back of alternator) with the ignition on should light the warning lamp. If not the lamp could be blown or the wire broken somewhere. The lamp supplies the field current to provide the initial output when the alternator...

Yes, i realise that but some people like the idea of synthetic oil in their gearboxes and it is cheaper than the Difflock Evolution 1 stuff that I've seen people rave about. I just offered it as a suggestion. :o

Or you might want to try this: Morris Lubricants - Morris Lubricants It is recommended by them for the R380 gearbox and you can buy direct from them. Carriage is free on orders over £50 which you will be able to go over if you do the transfer box and diffs at the same time and buy the oil for...

Yes, it does all need to come out and you will need plenty of time to do it - this is not an evening's work!! The bearings on the motor will have seized (they all do eventually) and you can get a replacement from Paddocks. Even when you have removed the heater, it is still a difficult job to...

Try checking fuse F6 (20A) in Satellite fusebox 2 which I think you will find behind the lower dashboard panel - drivers side. This is a battery feed to the Clock, radio, interior lighting, alarm and trailer socket. I took this from the Haynes comic as mines a 200 tdi so is different. If...

I could do with a copy of the template - if it can be published or pm'd I would be very grateful (I've got all the bits, just need to cut my front panels) Cheers, Peter.

Hello Everyone, I've just found the forum while browsing for bits for the current rebuild of my 1990 Disco 200 tdi. I've owned her for ten years in November but haven't used her for 3 years since moving house. I also had a couple of Range rover classics (a 1979 2 door and a 1982 4 door) but...
