No idea tbh what was done and when other than TDI engine thats as smooth as the dogs bs 😁

Thanks for the reply. I really have no idea when the engine was replaced, log book shows it as diesel, original was petrol, i think ?

So, I have a 1984 Landrover 90. In its past its had a 200 TDI engine fitted. For its age its in pretty good nick. The chassis, bulk head and floor pans are all solid and is mot'd. I am wondering whether to sell it but have no idea of value. Ebay prices vary wildly. Or should I wait until April...

Yes I think its new, I found it in the dash tray. It could have been taken out by the previous owner thinking it was overheating when it wasn't ! I like things to work as they should so yes, the gauge is irritating, I just need to get over it !

Yes same with mine, top hose hot, bottom hose is warm. Plenty of heat from the heater. I guess I will just have to live with the incorrect temp gauge. Main thing is that its not overheating.

So I purchased a PRC6663. Thread was coarser than my other however it did screw in and is water tight. Went for a long drive and temp gauge returned to the 3/4 mark just under red. Put mt temperature probe on the thermostat housing and the hottest it got was 70 degrees. Both top and bottom hoses...

Air filter will be corrected in the morning. Everything underneath has been well and truly blathered in Lanoguard. Fully serviced inc gearbox, transfer box and both diffs oil changed. Bits greased that needed it other than that, can't think what else needs doing. Did have a look at changing the...

Thanks everyone for your input. I now know I have a 200 tdi discovery engine and in need of a temp sender- PRC6663 but will it screw into the 200 tdi engine? The colour is a mystery, ive scrutinised the vehicle closely and cannot find any evidence of another colour, so as to what the colour is -...

Thanks, like you say, its 40 years old so not really worth bothering about. Next year - tax, mot and ULEZ exempt !

Could this be the code? O-97

I think its the original colour as there's no evidence of any other colour, even in the engine bay !

Photo's attached 👍

Good morning all, Im trying to establish the colour ID of my 1984 90. Ive looked at the vin tag for the code but this is blank. Looked at the colour charts for that year and cant seem to find it. Can anyone give me a suggestion from the photo's. I'm told I need to know the build date, where...

What an idiot am I ! It is working and reading 205000 not 250000 ! Teach me to attempt to read the dials without my glasses !!

The odometer on my 1983 90 has frozen at 250k. Speedo and trip working fine. I havent reset the trip since I purchased it a few months ago and shows I have covered 450 miles, however the odometer seems to have jumped from 197k to its present state of stuck at 250k. I'm baffled !
