I have used both SP panels and Paintman for complete doors with no issues. I think they both do just the skins?

I have a thread about the alternator belt tensions, I have just replaced the bracket with an adjustable link to keep tension LINK The power steering one is not usually a problem, have the bolts stripped the threads out of the blind holes? if so...

I have twin electric fans which have a fairly sizable draw on the when running and have a husky winch that although only used occasionally was the reason for the larger alternator. I used to have 8x 120watt spotlights on it, but they are now...

I don't think so, it is the same tension I would have put on it previously with the old slider. But surely over tensioning would effect the bearings not the charging ability? It is still spinning and not making any noises.

Many thanks for confirming. My spare pump is currently attached to the engine that was on fire awaiting a rebuild!

Many thanks. My plan was to call them in the morning and see if I can get quick delivery etc and confirm it’s the correct part. I was also going to have a google and dee if there are any diesel pump specialist near me or atherstone (work) to...

Done a connection check. They are all secure and was a new loom and alternator with the rebuild after the fire about two years ago so still all good condition. I might see how much a 100anp alternator is and swap over and repair without the...

Do you know the sizes or part numbers? I can only find them as part of a full seal kit! The reason for asking to confirm is this picture on the seal kit page (same website LINK) shows things on both that I dont seem to have on my pump and that...

Well some good news and some bad news to report. Having test driven home (about 20miles) everything is still good, belt is still tensioned. However on arriving home the electric fan kicked in and the battery light came on. Now the battery light...

Am I right in thinking this cover has nothing behind it and again is just an o-ring to seal? Looking at the diagram here (LINK) that looks to be the case? Just need to work out a part number or size for the correct o-ring (number 36)

May have got the wrong side cover looks to be the cover furthest form the engine rather than the one on thw inside. Have managed to get some pics of it running below. Do we think the stream of fuel is coming out the bottom side of the cover or...

Now fitted, tensioned up nicely with ease and on my own. Just need to see how well it performs and keeps Tension now. But that needs to wait until my injection pump is no longer pouring fuel out the side of it!

And change the star screws to Allen heads. Easier to tighten by the side of the road

Is a boost ring worth the effort? I have heard of it before but have no expiriance either way.

Many thanks. Not something I am going to be able to fix in the work car park. But an easy fix once I am home and have ordered the correct o-rings. Much better than being a castrophic failure inside the pump! Will just be an expensive and...

I was going to rant and be very unhappy that it is still leaking. But I now have an injector pump pouring fuel (LINK) so am unsure if the fuel on the filler begins from the filler neck or from the pump that has covered everything underneath and...

My fuel pump has decided it does want to have fuel on the inside any more. I appear to be pumping fuel out of the cover circled below. Is this something that I can repair myself or is this a terminal failure and I need to send it off for rebuild.

There is an Internatiaonl section of the forum: LINK you could drop a post on, and I assume datatek is in France as @Dippypud has tagged him so he will see that post.

Is it still financially worth buying panels, repairing you old one, and then getting acid and hot dip galved? I have a bulkhead that is salvageable but needs some repair and am trying to work out if it is worth it or not. The price of new ones...

In the spirit of education I am going to be even more pedantic than @bluedog333. It is not "90" it is Ninety. When these first came out in the '80's there were referred to as Land Rover One Ten, Land Rover Ninety, and Land Rover One Two Seven...

Well come one stop teasing. Where are the pictures!

Congratulations! I’m going to be ‘that’ person, you actually have a Ninety, not a Defender.

Well I gave up trying to find what was leaking and fired the parts cannon at it, new filler neck, new foam gasket, new clamps on fuel filler pipe and breather pipe, new fuel filler pipe, all joints coted in hylomar blue before assembling. Only...

I would remove the stuck bolt and get a wire wheel on it before decideing it is BER. you may find a lot of the mess is the bolt and washer rather than the bracket. But if it is the YRM panel is likly to be what you want and you then need to...

I think this is a key here as well. I had a friend with one fitted and I hated it. But my daily drive for the last 18 years has been an stock lt77 so th normal gear change is what I am used to, what expect a land rover to feel like, and what I...

What part of America are you in Chris ? Do you know where the diff lock lever is on the LT230 (transfer box) ? Have you removed the lever and used a spanner to turn it on and off ? Are the wires connected to the diff lock switch (green and...

As you have observed galv does not prevent it slows down. Galv should also be painted in my opinion rather than left bare for the chassis and the bulkhead. to give extra protection. If you want the bare galv look you can get clear oils that will...

The corner panels are just surface rust from the pictures and do not need replacement. Just give them a good rub down, treat with rust converter, and then prime and paint. The b pillar repair is detailed in the yrm workshop Section along with...

Little update, I finally got around to looking into parts for this properly. Was cheaper to order the parts individually on ebay than get one ready made up if people are interested this is what I have bought: LINK1, LINK2, LINK3, LINK4, total...
