That makes sense. No, the old TD loom was shot.

I've recently put a 200tdi from a Disco into my 1984 90. I've been speaking to autosparks to try and find the right wiring harness/loom to connect from the engine into my dash but I'm really struggling to find anything that uses this connector. Any ideas? Cheers!

How long do you think it should take for someone doing it from a manual? Are there any specific tools/equipment required?

pretty clueless to be honest...

afraid not... never done anything under the bonnet other than top up the oil

Had a mechanic look at it and he thinks it's the head gasket.... quoted £450 to replace. Does this sound like it could be the problem and is it a good price? Thanks!

The noise started just before Christmas so has done about 800 miles like it. Before then, there was no excess oil usage. There doesn't appear to be a great deal of difference in performance. Perhaps pulling away a little slower, although it has been fully loaded. Still sat at 70-75 on the...

Hi, My 200tdi has developed a ticking noise from the engine when the engine is running. The ticking increases as more throttle is applied. At the same time (I am sure it's not coincidence), it's started to really much through oil. I have just been to the lake district and back - about 800...

Hi everyone, Thank you all for your responses and the kind offer of a transfer box. Based on what you have said I am going to have someone look at it. Fingers crossed that's the problem as I was thinking the worst. Will let you know how I get on. Cheers :)

Hi all, At the weekend, went out in my N reg 90 and did a bit of simple greenlaning. Moved from Hi to Lo and it was fine, then moved from Lo to Hi when on the road and it popped out. Stopped, put back into Hi and then popped out again after another couple of hundred yards. Then stopped, pushed...

Thanks all. I spoke with LEGS yesterday and they do a gearbox overhaul for what seemed like a very reasonable price. Has anyone else used them before?

Hi all, Apologies in advance, I am not very mechanical. I've got a '95 300tdi and have a slight problem with my gearbox. It is all as sweet as a nut apart from second gear. 90% of the time it gives a crunch when moving up or down into 2nd. It always goes in and occassionally it does so without...

Thanks Tony, that is a great help... time to be brave tomorrow!

Hi all, My landy was 200tdi 90 was delivered a couple of weeks ago now and although I'm a little disappointed with a few things (definitely should have gone to look before buying - kick myself) all is sorted now. I am now going about adding/changing the bits I want. Project for this weekend is...

Chris, That would be a big help. I am travelling back south from yorks next friday, any chance I could collect in the afternoon? PM me with details. Cheers, Nathan

Hi all, Haven't posted on the Defender section before but as off wednesday I am the owner of a '94 200tdi 90 Hardtop. I am planning to convert it to a county and am currently looking for the sliding windows. That aside, what else do I need? I can't find roof linings anywhere online, can...

Hi there, I'm new to the forum, having bought my 1982 88" nearly 2 years ago and not doing a great deal with her. She's currently a hardtop and I was wondering if it is possible to change the 'top' to a station wagon? Any advice, gratefully receaived! Thanks, Nathan
