Thanks again for all the replies! @Col - I did change the king lead, only for an old spare I had hanging up, but that didn't cure it. @capo & @Dippypud: the label on the coil has long since departed but on the top it says Bosch (with a 1 by one terminal and a 15 by the other). It also has...

Thanks both for the replies. @capo: I don't know whether it's standard or high energy - any way to tell? I do use SimonBBC for ignition parts but their website isn't great if you don't know the exact part number you need. The ignition amp on mine (which came from the Disco) is mounted beside...

Hi all, hope someone can help me out here, I'm going mad with this one. Bit of a long story, please bear with me! I have a Defender 90 fitted with a 3.9i V8 from a Disco 1. Been running like that for a couple of years. About a month ago, I was towing a (large) trailer on the motorway when...

Evening all....I've had a good search but not found the answer, so here goes: on my 3.9i (out of a Disco 1 originally, it's now in my 90 with the auto box behind it) the only timing mark, on the balancer rather than the pulley itself, is a groove/channel about 5mm wide. There's a pointer...

@capo This has good potential! Could be exactly what I have been looking for. For £25 I'll certainly give it a go. I can't imagine that the pressure requirements are much different between the 3.5 EFi and the 3.9, and from memory my tank also looks like that (I'll check tomorrow). I bought...

@Cavey_P38 yes, sorry, I should have said it was the TD5 pump I had in mind.

Thanks pwood, Lucas E Series turns them up :)

No, I'm no expert either! But I thought the in-tank pump for the diesels supplied the full pressure to the injectors/rail? I could be wrong.

Just resurrecting this as I had no luck with the above. If I went for an in-tank pump for the diesel version, does anyone know: a. what pressure those deliver? b. where to get the right hose connectors (they look like some sort of twist-on type?) c. which connections to use (feed & return)...

No, not bullet connectors. The RRC has a number of connectors made from a round black or clear plastic block, with either pins or sockets depending on which side you have. Used on many connections, eg the lambda sensors, the speed sensor, others as well. They're very specific, not generic...

Hi all, does anyone know the name of the round black connectors used on the RR Classic (and other cars), the ones with a rubber boot around them? Are they still available to buy? Thanks.

Hi all. Can anyone advise me what the diameter of the TD5 exhaust is please (I believe it may be 2.5"/63mm)? Also, if anyone is able to give me a reference point on the chassis/body as to where the front flange sits (the 2-bolt one?) that would be really useful. This is for a project where I...

Cheers for that, I'll see if I can track one down.

Thanks, hadn't thought of that option!

As per the title, does anyone know whether and/or how I can install a high-pressure petrol pump into the tank of a 90 in place of the original? The reason being, I have a 3.9i installed, which of course requires a higher-pressure fuel supply. At present I have it plumbed with the original lift...

Eventually tracked them down, the part number is CZA2259 or CZA2259L. They vary wildly in price depending on which manufacturer's parts website you go to! I've ordered a pair for an MGB which was a fiver.

Actually those look like they are the whole surround whereas I just need the clips?

Bezel! A term I didn't try! Thanks James.

Hi all, does anyone know what these surround clips for the internal door handle on an early 90 are called please? I've hunted high & low and used all sorts of different terms (surround, clip, retainer, etc) but I cant find them anywhere! I have a feeling they're standard BL fayre from long ago...

Bob, that's a great plan, but......I glued the panels together as I built it :( Should have thought ahead really. I saw a type of trim online which hides staples but it's only available in America and the postage alone is far more than the box cost me to make! I don't really want to build it...
