I don’t know whether it’s some dodgy fuel or if the pump has just passed its best - it’s 30 odd years old with over 200k miles now, thanks for all the replies - good to get other’s experiences with this!

Ah interesting. I normally fill up in the Tesco stations, either that or a main Texaco/BP/Shell type place.

Hey there, recently lost power at high revs on the motorway. Got recovered back to a garage, the mechanic has had a look through the fuel system and has diagnosed it as a failed injector pump. Apparently it’s disintegrated and left metal swarf all through the diesel system. Is this something...

Thanks very much! Will give all that a try

Thanks! Nothing at all, it’s heavy but that’s pretty standard… 2nd gear doesn’t go in at anything above 15mph when the gearbox is cold but that’s the only other issue with the drive train really

Hello! Got a rattle that's really starting to get on nerves. Rattle sounds very tinny and gravelly, like a loose spring or something vibrating/scraping against metal. Seems to be coming from the gearbox tunnel/clutch area. You can hear it when it gets to higher revs in any gear but most...

Hey all, hope someone may be able to help. I have a really strange rattle/knock coming from roughly the passenger footwell/gear box tunnel. The knock only seems to appear when my mother sits in the passenger seat! It doesn’t happen when there is no weight on the seat and also doesn’t happen when...

Thanks! I’ll take a look there first of all then. Sounds about right if I’m honest

Also best to point out, the linked video isn’t my own. I came across it in a thread from a few years ago but mine makes the exact same sound under the same conditions

I’ve not taken them off yet, had a quick look and there is a little bit of play but just trying to find out if anyone else has had the same issue so I can look in the right places before taking it all apart

Hope someone's had this before, I have a loud grinding sound coming from under the landy when I let off the throttle or accelerate doing around 50mph+. The harder I accelerate/let off the louder the sound. It also keeps grinding if I put it in neutral and coast to a stop. There's a link to a...

Could it be CQW000010 filler strip? Or is that the seal that goes around the glass inside the window frame?

Ah my bad, I figured there wouldn’t be too much difference with this part. It’s a ‘92 Defender 90 200tdi

Hi, looking for some help. Does anyone have a part number or anything to help me find a spare side window trim? It the seal thing that covers the rivets around the outside of the side windows. (‘92 Defender 90 200tdi) Thanks in advance!

Haha thanks. I think I have my first problem sussed out but I can’t get it up on a jack safely at the moment, that’s the only problem :(

Hello! Anyone got any recommendations for good mechanics around Swansea/ South Wales? I have a ‘92 Defender 90 200tdi. Cheers!

Taking mine to a mechanic friend tomorrow to have a look with it up on the ramp. Hopefully will get to the bottom of it!

Been too busy under the bonnet to take too many pics just yet :) any recommendations?

Long time since this has been active but I’m having the exact same problem right now! Did you ever get to the bottom of it?

Hi everyone! I’ve just picked up a ‘92 200tdi (90). Hopefully will find the answer to some head scratchers here
