Hi all I have a used 200TDI gearbox crossmember. It is a galvanised Richards piece. Was used on my 200TDI until I changed chassis. Used so a bit dirty and oily but no significant corrosion or dents. For collection from Ringmer in East Sussex £40 Regards Paul

Hi all While I am having a clear out I would like to sell this 200TDI crossmember with legs. I bought it years ago to fit to my 200TDI but eventually fitted a new Marsland chassis. Comes with free (used) towbar. To be collected from Ringmer in East Sussex £110 Regards Paul

Hi all I have a brand new PCT towbar bought in error for my Defender. I replaced original 200TDI 90 chassis with Marsland but it needed a 110 towbar... I think PCT is what used to be Dixon Bate? It is very heavy duty, much heavier than original 200TDI towbar. Brand new, only trial fitted (until...

Hi all A quick update. I have bought a sender and cable. I made up a bracket to carry sender, it mounts on two of the bolts on back of transfer box where a PTO or overdrive would go. It is a Hall effect sender so I added a couple of 'buttons' to the rim of the handbrake drum to trigger said...

Hi Knappster Sorry no pictures. It doesn't look much different to how it was when I bought it years ago - just a well used old Defender with not a straight panel to it's name... It isn't a wreck, more like an old farm Landie. No bling, some mud, plenty dents.! Regards Paul

Hi all I have bought an oil pressure gauge for my 1991 200TDI. It already has a tapping on the oil filter head for an oil light switch so I need an adapter in order to retain switch and also add oil pressure gauge sender. Does anyone know what thread it is? Demon Tweaks can't help. Thanks in...

Hi all The Defender has been back on the road for ages now so I thought I would finish off this thread. The first replacement chassis was a Richards, supplied by a local independent through Britpart. When the issue around accuracy of fabrication arose they offered to take the (now rolling)...

No luck with a sender so far... Have tried tacho manufacturers but it is too old for them. Have tried LR parts dealers but no go. Have tried a couple of breakers but no go. Plenty of defenders must have/have had had tacho's in the past surely? Any thoughts? Maybe I could convert current box to...

Whatever I can get on Ebay for cheap... Won't be anything new.

I used an Ashcroft kit some years ago to rebuild the transfer box in my 200TDI. I found the quality to be excellent and when I had a query I got friendly, professional advice. Present main gearbox (LT77) needs an output shaft (worn splines), I'll go to Ashcroft again for peace of mind. Regards...

Hi I'm fitting a used tacho that doesn't use GPS (a bit modern for me). I just want the widget that fits on the speedo drive and makes an electrical pulse. Regards Paul

I thought I would finish off this thread as I left it hanging. I fitted the Chinese ali radiator but didn't connect the oil cooler pipes as the holes in the fittings on the radiator were absolutely tiny, far too small in my largely uninformed opinion to flow enough oil. I also had concerns...

Hi all I need to fit a tachograph (drivers hours not engine RPM) to my 200 TDI. Does anyone have a part number and/or source for the sender which fits the speedo drive on the LT230 transfer box? Thanks in advance Paul

I shall write to council tomorrow, I was too angry today to put together anything civilised. I have no idea how their decision making happens but presumably someone has signed this off, and presumably that person has to defend their position? I might write to local councillor and/or MP. IN 2018...

Image of notice. Picture taken evening of 15 May '23. It says six months closure or "until conditions improve", which I suspect they won't. I am on a farm and I can categorically state that 'conditions' are just fine. The Old Coach Road (OCR) is surfaced with crushed stone and/or rubble. The...

Hi Cappers Chassis change all done. I started with a Richards chassis, fitted all the running gear but when i came to fit the fuel tank it was clear the chassis was wrong. Dealer replaced it with a Marsland - which was a win, but a lot of extra work. The bit of lane you mentioned doesn't look...

I haven't looked today. Last week I looked and there was nothing. I called the given number and was put through to a company in Yorkshire (This is Sussex...) who couldn't help but said someone from the local council would call. Naturally they didn't. In 2018 they closed the lane from end...

The Old Coachroad is closed - likely for ever. I just tried to use it. Sign says closed for a further six months which is well beyond the end of September closure date imposed in 2018 - see posts above dating back to then. So we've been screwed over eh? Where was GLASS? Does anyone care...

You are right in what you say. I have owned this thing for about twelve years or so. Recently fitted a new chassis. Wherever possible I try not to degrade the vehicle by fitting rubbish. Part of the reason for fitting a new rad, apart from the fact the Britpart one has rotted away, is that I...

Yes I spoke to the suppliers. I had provided model make / year + chassis number and sought assurances the rad would fit. They said it would - it doesn't. I can send it back which leaves me with a nasty Britpart radiator which has actually corroded in two... Looking online many suppliers state...
