Welcome and best of luck. In general, the stealership is a place where many good mechanics start their career and bad mechanics make their career.

Welcome to the group! Portugal is on our list for 2024!

What state in MX is this?

I have a H and the oil leak comes out on top of the head. You can see in the picture what I mean - yes the spark plug holder is broken and I've already got a new one at the ready. I've been good at soaking up the excess oil. I was thinking that a new head gasket (Klinger), camshaft gaskets(?)...

The turbo was considered. However, a new ecu would be required to do this plus a whole bunch of other engine modifications. The short of it is that it is cheaper to source a T16 turbo and ECU and overhaul that. This swap has similar problems as other engines (ECU, gearbox match up, ancillary...

Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

I'm weighing a couple of options with regard to building out my LHD 1996 D90: 1. Overhaul the 2.0MPi Rover T16 engine (136bhp / 136ftlb); The odo shows 50k km - doubt this is accurate; it runs fine but leaks oil from the head; I just drove it across the USA (3,000 miles) without any problems...

This goes back to if I do custom hoses then this won't matter much since I can do 90 degree bends no problem.

I just got denied by John Craddock....the search continues. That being said I've sourced most everything else. I am a little stumped on the Radiator part number - this is what got me interested in reviving this thread plus the pipe thingy. However, I think it's the same as the V8...I need to...

I am planning to use the original but I want to have a back up plan. As the once famous Mike Tyson said "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face." Always have a backup plan.

I'm going to bump this thread because of selfish reasons. Was this ever solved? I am attempting to overhaul my MPi and my initial approach is to just make custom tubing and connections to make this all work. Thoughts? That pipe along the lower part of the radiator is impossible to find.

A Roamerdrive will enable you to go faster by about 22% and also allows you gain 22% higher gearing for each gear. The Roamerdrive bolts on to the transfer case and a basic DIY can do it in an afternoon. Try it out and if you don't get the performance that you want then you can decide to do an...

The sensor i have unplugged is for the radiator fan. When you unplug it, the fan stays on which IMHO this is better than over heating. I believe the sensor is bad since the fan is not coming. I've seen this problem mentioned by others. The gage sensor has a loose wire so the gage is...

The Disco is of Italian origin and a real mystery under the hood (bonnet) and thus Spaghetti Defender. I'm actually in the Arctic in an oil camp called Alpine. The D90 is located in the greater Seattle area. Perhaps the biggest problem I have with the 2.0 MPi at this point is the knowledge of...

Here are come clips

Hello Frens, I recently acquired a 1996 D90 with the 2.0 MPi engine (136hp/136ftlb). This past fall we drove it across the USA from coast to coast without any problem. The rig is in great shape and I am going all in on an engine overhaul and complete restoration of the D90 starting in...

Can we get a sticky for the 2.0 MPi Engine? I did not see one and this is a quasi-standard engine for the Defender. It has a VIN identifier in the 8th position.

Hello Frens, I am interested to connect with others who have done an engine overhaul of the Mpi Engine. I understand it is a Rover T16 series engine and I have the overhaul manual from Rover. I am unable to attach images at this point, but the engine is in pretty good shape and I want to keep...
