Thanks for the useful feedback guys, so effectively, are we saying that the 200TDi disco/defender rads and intercoolers all fit in the 300tdi/200Tdi frame, but that the frame won't fit unless the chassis mounts are lowered? Useful just to confirm John

I have recently acquired an ex MOD 90 (originally NA 2.5D) which has had a defender (not discovery) 200TDi engine fitted, the radiator and intercooler look past there best and it doesn't look the best fit (I suspect a discovery set up has been used. I happen to have a fully restored 300TDi Rad...

On a 99 MY, it should be a black red wire for the signal from the transducer to the speedo

Macias, Year and model of the vehicle would be helpful in trying to narrow things down

Mine is a 95' defender in conniston green LRC570, and I would say, looking at the images, that mine is a "greener" green than yours. The images you've posted look like they have a bit of blue in the colour (second image in particular), whereas mine is just a mid to dark green. On that basis I...

My stock set up ('95 defender 90) worked "ok", at full blast the front screen would just about clear, but never really the side windows. I installed the defender demisters (these look the same), and on balance I do think they work better, the screen clears more quickly and it does clear the side...

Mystery, Thanks, that's very helpful and confirms what i was thinking. I presume it earths through the engine and associated earthing strap to the chassis? Not sure what you mean by the suppressor though? Appreciate the help Cheers John

Just finishing off the wiring on the install of my 3.9 v8 (ex Disco) into my defender. Running the stock Lucas 14CUX EFi system, engine didn't come with loom installed, so been a bit of detective work, but all in now, except connecting the alternator. From what I can work out, its two...

Not sure how good your welding skills are and what sort of value you place on your time, but you might want to blast or strip the bulkhead a bit more before deciding on whether to repair or replace. Looking at the images you've posted (guessing its a 300tdi or that sort of vintage, based on the...

Al203, Thanks, That's fairly clear, the patching/reinforcing approach certainly looks like it's done the job for you. Between what you and Ian have told me, it looks doable to repair it with basic tools and a bit of effort. You both been really helpful. I'll start planning things at my end now...

Ian, Thanks for the post, had a look at your rebuild thread, very impressive indeed. It's clear you got some very well developed fab and metalworking skills and you've done a really nice job on it. Whilst I can weld (I say weld, what I mean really is stick too bits of steel together in a way...

Absolutely no bother, appreciate the help, no pressure, enjoy your night out! :)

Al203 Thanks, the repair with the YRM panels looks really solid. Could you perhaps give a bit more explanation around how you went about the patches in the rear section. Did you make these yourself? How did you bond them and what do they look like from the inside? Also, what sort of repair...

Al203, Yes, it would be helpful to see what you did. Cheers :)

I think repairing is certainly an option, the issue is that I have all the usual damage at the front, but some of the corrosion damage I have is associated with the rear seat box/inner wheelarches, this doesn't seem to be that common, mine has come about because it had a steel rail fitted to...

As part of the rebuild and conversion of my 95' CSW 90 300 tdi to v8, my thoughts are turning to the rear tub. The existing tub has good outer panels, but the inners (rear seatbox/wheelarch), front seatbelt mounts and sill mounts are all in a bad way with the good old usual electrolytic...

Yep, currently just completed stripping the donor engine and about to start getting the machine shop work done on it. On the surface of it, it looks like a solid unit .... time will tell though. Took a bit of time sourcing all the right bits (correct bellhousing for the r380 etc). I'll start a...

Hi, Owned various Lightweights and Defenders most of my driving life, current vehicle is a 95' Defender CSW 300TDi, which after many years faithful service is currently getting a full rebuild and engine change to 3.9 EFi V8. (yes, many may think it's madness, but I don't do big mileage in it...
