Hi Corby, You don't mention the actual vehicle, so i'm just guessing. I'm no expert but figured i might as well kick it off. . . I'm none too clever with turbo's, but i thought the dump valve opened to get rid of excess boost, so you don't ruin the engine; presumably if it was stuck open the...

Thanks for the interest shown on this, vehicle has now been found, trashed and written off in Burslem, Stoke-On-Trent. My mate is distraught. Same again, in anyone knows anything, or knows anyone who could help, there'll be e crate of beer in it for you. Cheers, Steve

Hello folks, I very good friend of mine had his 90 SW 200tdi pinched last night from his driveway in Waterhouses, Nr Leek, Staffs. Vehicle is Bronze green, but yellow paint is visible underneath as it used to be a works truck. It has A-bar with spots and is shod with Avon Rangemasters, but the...

Lookin' good! Glad i stumbled across this thread- been thinking about one meself, but lack of funds/skills prevent it so far. Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Not sure you'll be able to find 3 bucket seats to fit as the cab's not wide as it is. I've seen the rear seat from a classic RR fit nicely so you could go down that route?

Yeah, i had thought about the lift pump- especially as it struggles to start if there's less that 1/4 tank in it. Check the fuel filter yesterday- it's done 5k miles, and found it partly empty. Also found that the manual pump arm thing on the lift pump felt a bit odd- like it wasn't connected to...

Yeah, that's right- i couldn't keep up at all! Weird thing was though- a few days before (when i collected it from the garage) it was pulling like a train! If it was timing it wouldn't be intermittent like this would it?

Hello, Just a general enquiry really- my 200tdi 110 has always smoked since i bought it 30k miles ago. Smoke is grey and dieseley. However, after recently having to shell out for a new gearbox, i've decided to investigate the smoke, out of curiosity- so i can prepare for the next big spend! When...

Then again, just found this thread on here- so might not be too viable. . . http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f16/6-2l-gmc-v8-diesel-engined-defender-115367.html

I seem to remember there being a trend for people converting Defenders to run with a GMC 6.2 V8 Diesel. Have no idea what's involved in the conversion mind you. Might be a starting point?

Got a '93 110. Original bits are: Chassis (minus rear x member) Engine main block Rear Tub Seatbox. That's about it. Starting to turn into Triggers Broom!

No, not really- i only took that one, my wife may have a couple- i'll check with her.

(Bit of a crap photo. . . ) Had a great day today at Whaddon with you all. Hope to do it again soon.

Hi all, Thought i'd just let you know how it all panned out as i'm about to collect the truck from the garage. When the garage removed the gearbox, they discovered that i wouldn't have made it home as, not only was the gearbox very worn, but the input gear on the T-Box was shagged, the clutch...

I've been lusting after some Sams Trim Canvas front seats for mine- think they look the business! another alternative Denis, would be the front seats from a Citroen BX, if you can find any- the bottom section comes away from the back so you can still access the cubby's under the seats.

£3,000 sounds about right to me, but they are getting a but old now, so minters seem, to be few and far between- prone to rust on the body- check sills, under the carpet in the boot and on the body joins when you open the back doors. If you can get a good Japanese Import they are usually low...

My 200tdi didn't have a radio, so i swapped the quarter dash panels with one from a 300tdi, then used the standard spacers. I replaced my Dash speakers with Pioneer ones, which sounded lovely to my knees! Then stuck a pair of old Kenwood 6x9's between the cubby box, and a pair of Kenwood monitor...

i think so, providing it has the right number of splines. Nearly swapped my rear axle for a disco one. What model engine is yours?

Yeah, i'm in the same mindset about a club. There are quite a few round here- LRO ran a Greenlane feature that was pretty good set round here, some of them are flat and boring but there are some pretty good fords, about 6 miles north of Ware. I've got some OS maps that show a few, need a few...

Nice one. Not been here too long, mind. Seem to be a good few lanes+ fords round here though. Are you a member of a club?
