Bit worried about "they changed the fuel pump as the turbo was not working" The turbo is fairly simple really, it just whizzes round. One side is driven by the exhaust and the other stuffs air into the engine (through the intercooler). The only thing that would stop it stuffing air in, is...

Mine has the sticker but NO difflock. It's a bit of a minefield as to which versions do/don't have it. If the engine does nothing below 2,000revs, check the MAF sensor isn't dead. Just unplug it (it lives in the large pipe that comes out of the air filter) This will make the ecu run on a...

Second one sounds like glow plug light. Pull the dash forward, and have a look to see if the wires have been "modified". Get a meter and check what light gets voltage when you switch on a circuit, note it's colours then compare with the circuit diagrams. If bodged you will have to do some re...

Is the front facia available? The plastic bit in the middle that holds the radio/air vents etc. Malcolm

When I put my Sumo bars on, the drag link rubbed on the original guard which is just a U shaped channel. I took it off and now have a substantial guard with towing eyes fitted. Something to watch out for. Malcolm

I've just been out and measured mine! They're genuine Sumo bars (from Gwyn Lewis) on a 90 with a Disco drop arm. The drag link is 830mm, the track rod (behind the axle) is 1130mm. You need to be able to screw the tre's in/out from a starting point of 924mm to adjust the steering. Try unscrewing...

The length of the drag link is approx 924mm between the centre of the ball joints according to Rave if that helps. The Disco drop arm sits in exactly the same place as the dreaded ball joint so that's what you need to set it up. 903mm would appear to be too long as when you put the tre's on it...

NTC 8390 is the Disco series 1 drag link, you'll also need a steering damper bracket. Malcolm

Heard that that hose set up is ROW spec, so that out in the remote parts of the world if one part of the hose goes you stand a good chance of getting something similar which can be clamped on rather than trying to find the complex single piece hose. Makes sense, but you wouldn't want to find...

Have you got the front facia? The large plastic bit in the middle that holds the radio, air vents? someone took mine out without undoing the screws!!!!! Malcolm

Get the door re-skinned, or you can get them here http://www.splandrovers.com/category_s/108.htm

As you've already cut a groove I guess you've got it out now. The only way I managed it, was to hold one end with a screwdriver then with your spare 2 other hands you can hit the other end with another screwdriver and hammer. It will just about pop the end out of the groove and then you lever it...

Yes, but you can buy galvanized rings and retainers. Malcolm

I had an ex farm vehicle and like yours it was carrying about 1/2 ton of sheep sh*t. The windscreen hinges do come off, the bolts and spacers are inside at the bottom corner of the screen.Mine were similar condition to yours so I bought some new ones, painted them up then changed them over. I...

When I first got my 90 I changed the oil for EVO 1 and it made a difference but I couldn't be sure it wasn't just new oil. Recently I changed it again and this time put MTF 94 in and it's MUCH worse! Next time I'll bite the bullet pricewise and put EVO 1 in again. Malcolm

Did it ever work? Some (mine, a '95) don't have a low fuel level sensor or wiring. Malcolm

But you still have to get the cable out first!

From the look of it, it's just the UJ that's gone. No need for a new propshaft and shouldn't take long to replace provided you have a few normal tools. Bit worried that a Land rover mechanic didn't suggest that and also that you could take the prop off, put it in difflock and drive it to the...

I think they all use the same basic big box and controls, the early matrix comes with intake pipes that angle down whereas the later (more efficient?) one's come horizontally straight out. They should both fit.

To get to the loom all you need do is take the surround off then release the radio, pull it out and there's the plugs/wires at the back.
