Cheers Turboman & Flyingpete! Ill change the oil cooler!

You sir, are the official 'Bargain hunter'

haha, thanks guys.

Thanks for your help guys. After some reading, i can see some really mixed reviews on 19J TD. Looks like it all points down to Land Rover made the mistake of adding a turbo and not doing anything to the engine itself? I agree on some points, It definitely struggles up hills but it doesn't...

Sorry gents, attached the wrong three photos! Correct ones below.

Okay, this may be a real stupid question, but I don’t know? I know the engine size is 2.5 and it’s a Defender 90, 1989. How do I know what TDI it is? People keep asking but I honest don’t know? It has a cambelt if this helps? I assume 200 TDI?

Thanks guys, ill clean all of the earth contacts as some are in a bit of a mess. Ill give the battery terminals a good go as well. Good to know im at the right sales price as well, thanks Waldamar.

Battery is only a couple of months old, that's the strange thing. Could it be drained because of the dodgy earth? I will check all connectors again tonight. Thanks for your help.

Thanks mate, not selling on here, just on Gumtree. Didn't know you could sell on here to be honest. It will try to start! Then it gets drained and ends up with the repeated loud clicking noise.

Hi, I've got a Landrover 90 - 1989 and the bugger wont start. Its a strange one though... I had the same issue before, so I changed the Starter motor, that made it work for a bit but still no. I then changed the alternator, battery, glow plugs and main earth to the chassis. It ran fine for...

Now that is something I didn't know! So when you see them all over the internet for sale as defenders are people just saying that because there more known and they want a quick sale or is it this a wide unknown mistake everyone is making? Because theirs loads I looked at under 1990 and they...

Spot on! Thanks for the reply's! Cheers for letting me know about it being a 90 aswell. I saw this on the add when i bought it but it said Land Rover Defender 90. I'm assuming this is something many get wrong? Or do people just call them Defenders when there not? Thanks

Very new to all this, so this is probably an extremely stupid question. I have an 1985 defender pickup and will be starting some work on it this weekend. First job, cleaning and preserving the chassis. Before going to town with disc cutter and wire cup brush on the chassis, I was...

Think im there with the massive vibration (only when i get past 45 Mbps) and vague steering! Im assuming this is not a cheap job if i wanted it done in the shop?

Bump, your not wrong there mate, I was in 5th by time I got off the bloody farm! I was wondering why I couldn't get passed lorrys on the bypass. 45Mph was my Max. Another Questiion Bankz - What happens if the damage continues with the Swivels? Cheers lads

Well this is concerning that I've definitely not been driving in Hi! Cheers mate.

Thanks Chris!

Bankz you an absolute diamond! Very helpful! The steering definitely is not right; it’s got a hell of a lot of give. To confirm, when I’m on road, should the stick be in lo position when on or off road? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Apologies if I have posted this to the wrong place, new to forum. So first Hello! Looking forward to learning lots about my Land Rover Defender and hopefully going to a meet! I currently have Land Rover ( 1985) 90 2.5 and It looks like I’ve got some Jobs I instantly need to do...
