Thanks for clearing that up, I wasn't sure what you meant as you talking about the fill/level on the rear casing and the RR diffs, it confused me for a bit. Blimey £80 is cheap, although I could probably source them If I know what to look for. That's a decent bracket for the alternator guessing...

I think Gwyn lewis does an alternator bracket for the def200 which puts it where the ac condenser pump goes. When you mean diffs are saying the diff or the axle? I imaging finding an early RR diff is like hens teeth these days.

Interesting, I think you might be right about the gaps in the gears if the ratio is higher. The lt77 on mine in 1st is so low that you can pull away in 2nd, so I imaging its like that for 1st in yours. Also given how often the gear changes are, when did full syncro gearboxes arrive for the...

Your right about having to tweak the 2.25 engine every week, where as the 200tdi just needs the odd oil top up and alternator adjustment every week. I'll have to look into whether the injection pump fouls the chassis or not but hopefully won't need to much work if needed. I'll also look at the...

I'm going to be doing about 10000 miles a year. Mostly from Canterbury to Biggin 2 times a week then a short trip from Biggin to work. I do plan on adding sound deadening and insolation where possible. Then overhauling the heater with an uprated matrix and fan. Freewheeling hubs and an overdrive...

What diff would you recommend? and as you said money is a factor too. Is the 200tdi gearbox destroyer myth a real thing or just superstition to put people off converting it?

Thanks for your suggestion. Thankfully I’m only really going a few miles into London (Biggin Hill) to work so it’s still fairly rural at that point. I definitely agree with fitting a petrol and overdrive. I’m just looking at options for the moment as I want to keep the vehicles historic status...

Good point, but finding a 109 station wagon that isn’t a barn find or completely restored which would be outside my price range is quite hard these days as I do want to do some internal and external modifications to make it a comfortable daily driver. Would it be easier if I simply bought a...

Good Morning everyone Due to a new job (which requires me to travel in the Ulez everyday thanks Khan) sadly my 1993 110 CSW daily driver isn't going to cut it anymore. So it could go up for sale in the near future. After looking around I've decided to follow in my families footsteps and may have...

I'll give it a go tomorrow.

Thanks for responding. I've done that today and there is no unusual noise. It was suggested that it could be worn ujs. however still not sure as there isn't a lot of play in them.

Good Evening I've been having a problem with my clutch 1 year after the old one was replaced with a lof power spec clutch kit, which also came with the all metal thrust bearing. the rattle only occurs when its cold or raining. Its starts rattling around 5 mph and gets louder in every gear till...

Evening, another update. The metal cage part no: XQU000020 doesn't fit the radio (XQD000050PMA). so I wonder what the part no for it was as the radio was fitted to the defender, Freelander and the Discovery in the early 2000s. so I'm surprised that I can't find the part number. Any advice would...

Thankfully I’ve been able to source an original. What about the wiring. I’ve bought the iso connectors and an adapter. Is it as simple as wiring each colour together or is there a differences between the iso connectors and the loom?

Good Evening. Update time I've just received the new/old cassette part no: XQD000050PMA I've also bought the MUD UK classic console however the fit isn't great, its a bit long and the top lip is at the wrong angle. Also what metal frame do I need for the radio as its a VDO/Philips.

Good evening everyone I need some advice, I've bought a cassette/radio part no: XQD000050PMA. I'd like to fit it to my 1993 200tdi 110 CSW defender. The car has already had an aftermarket radio from one of the previous owners. Like most defenders the wiring was bodged, so I'd like to know what...

Evening everyone, just an update on progress. I'll be getting certain security systems you suggested, so thank you. but now on to the next question... tyres. my vehicle currently has the standard 5.5" steel rims, it already has 2 Michelin latitudes crosses on the rears. however sourcing three...

thank you for answering. I'll certainly look into these products. Yes I see and hear spits every half hour, due to the experience flights.

feel free to remove this thread.

Hi everyone, I recently bought myself a 1993 200tdi 110 CSW. mostly stock too. The vehicle has the usual of rust spots but overall is in good condition. The only problem is, its lacking in the security department. So I put these questions to people with experience. I don't have a huge budget but...
