Thanks for reply! I installed a mechanical gauge today and changed the oil. Pressure showing around 40psi at startup then as oil warmed it is showing 22psi at idle. Goes to 40 while driving. That should be adequate I would think-??

1991 Defender 200tdi. I was driving home yesterday and noticed the oil warning light on. I cannot be certain how long it had been on but when I noticed it, I was about 1/2 mile from home so I drove it. I checked the oil and it was about a quart low. Not running hot. I waited until today and...

Yes you were cortect in your translation-I am sleighing tons of hot ass parading around in my sexy Defender! Sorry for the confusion on my question, let me clarify: I have the steel rims that are in good shape. I am looking for suggestions on a good looking alloy wheel in black, that will work...

Hello All, I have had my 1991 Defender 90 for about 2 years now. Turning plenty of wrenches but still enjoying it. I shipped her from Wales to Florida and at first I wasn't digging the stock "pizza cutter" tires and rims (steel stock rims stamped 5 1/2 J x 16) Tires are Michelin 7.50R x 16. The...

Thank you gentlemen for your input. Hopefully I can find someone over here close enough to do this job, if not, looks like I will be giving it a go. Seems easier for me to change the entire engine though.

Hello all from across the pond, My "creampuff" Defender 1991 200TDI just developed a large fuel leak in the middle of the injector pump. I understand that it isn't possible for me to rebuild it but my Haynes repair manual has quite a few steps to remove this pump including some timing issues...

Hello All, I just completed a gear box exchange with a rebuilt unit from Ashcroft. This was my second time doing this task :FIRST AND LAST! Anyway I was successful at putting it all back together and she is moving under her own power but in neutral the gears are chattering a bit. When you...

UPDATE: Thanks for the replies. My buddy that I asked to help me is Drago's twin (ala Rocky III) Seriously, 6' 8" , 265lbs of chiseled muscle. I figured he was the best candidate to manhandle that gearbox and transfer case. I must not have been too clear on the task explanation as he showed...

I have a buddy helping me with this install but my gearbox is being a bitch! We just can't get the bellhousing all the way on. I used a clutch alignment tool and was very careful to make sure the disc was centered. Its like something is blocking us from the last inch or so. We can get the...

RE: Def 90 200DTI Hello All- I was going to flush radiator as fluid was very rusty and hoses stiff and crackly when you squeeze them. My helper whom will remain nameless, dragged the hose over and proceeded to flush the intercooler with H2O. Can I just tape a blow dryer on the top hose...

Update, I took off the PTO cover from transfer case and it looks like mud around the output shaft. Very nice indeed. Lots of play there for sure. It is a LT77 tranny. Should I get a rebuilt one or give it a go and try to overhaul this one? Any advice on a reputable source for a...

Yes helpful. Thank you very much for the effort. It doesn't move with the differential locked either. I guess I will tear it apart and take a peek. Just hoping there were some tests that I could perform to isolate the problem. I am sure that shaft must be stripped. Now to run down to the...

I knew Rodney. My best friends sister married a Rowdies player and Rodney was his teammate. We had a good time at the reception. Those guys could guzzle some booze fosho.

Bucs for sure. First time ever that a home team has played in a Superbowl. If it wasn't for the 'rona it would be a 2 week, nonstop party! Now just a one weeker--

Hello All and thank you in advance for any advice. I have searched forums but no luck on troubleshooting this issue on my Defender 90 200 tdi. I have had a "clunk of death" since I imported this creampuff to Tampa Florida about 1 year ago. I use the Landy for kiteboarding only which is...

Hello all, After checking all of the threads on this forum concerning these caps I am sorry to say I still don't have my answer. Like others, I have oil leaking from a broken rubber cap. I ordered some from ebay that said they would fit but they are too small FTC5414G. I have a 1991 Defender...

Hello All, Got my 91' Defender 90 200 TDI a few weeks ago from the UK. I have friends in Wales that I visit every once in a while and every time I am there I see old Rovers all over the place. I finally got one shipped over. I bought it from a "reputable" dealer. Looked great online but...
