Does anybody know where I can download microcat that is compatable with windows 7? cheers guys

Ok I have an odd for you all hope someone can point me in the right direction. My Defender 200tdi 1993 has developed a horrible squeaking/squealing noise whilst driving sounds like some sort of rotating part that perhaps has gone dry poss. a bearing maybe? It only does it at lower speeds (up to...

Thought i'd post a pic of the fan now its fitted, just need to wire it now. Old fan came out really easy was only finger tight and once I got the turbo pipe and the top rad hose off the cowl came out easier than expected. To new fan said easy fit, easy fit my arse lol ended up welding some...

Litch its a full circular piece with the fan well inside it and doesnt move forward enough to lift it past the fan. May be able to move it back enough to get the fan off first but even then doesnt look like it will clear the pulleys

Thanks Lynall the pic helps a lot will try that first before having to resort to something more complex like Litch's idea. Anybody got any hints on how best to get the rad cowl out without dismantling the front end, barring a better idea from someone was thinking of just cutting it out?

Hi Guys I just bought a generic electric fan for my defender 200 from bolt on bits and was wondering if anybody had any experience in fitting these, any advice or especially any pics of how it secures to the Rad would be much appreciated. Mark

Hi Can anybody please point me in the right direction, I need to change the start/stop fuel solenoid but am struggling to find it, I take it it's on the fuel pump someplace? tried finding any elec wires heading in that direction to follow but can't seem to find one. As usual any help you...

Time for another update Had the injectors out yesterday and gave them a good scrub with a tooth brush and some fuel additive, they were pretty sooty on the tips but cleaned up well with some effort. Point being the smoking has diminished some more to the point now where its not really that...

since the new glow plugs went in has made some difference but not totally solved it, had a sniff of the exhaust its definatly fuel. had a nosey through old posts will try some of the things mentioned ie cleaning bresther pipes etc. hopefully wil at least get it to the point of not being so noticable

Right I have a bit more info about the smoking so i thought i would write an update and hope you guys can point me in the right direction. Changed the glow plugs today and found that 3 out of the four were covered in oil (starting from front of engine the first 3, 4th was dry as a bone)...

Ive just had a go at making mine better, all i did was first replace the standard 2w bulbs with off the shelf 5w ones and second i carefully drilled out the tip of the green dome inside the gauge just push the drill through the white bulb holder tube very slowly so you dont hit the workings with...

wickford I didnt touch the relay only the connections to the switch which I had marked up to make sure i put them back in the right place. Buster I did check the bulbs the pins on the bulb are staggered so you can only put them in one way

Wired it up as per the insturctions all went well worked fine then disconnected it to fit the console and now nothing. if i change some wires i can get it to work but then the idicators dont work as it is indicators work fine while unless i flip the hazard switch then they stop. only thing i...

Anybody know a reliable auto electrician in the leyland/preston area (Lancashire)? Fitted a new carling hazard warning switch to a new center console had it working at one point then the wiring fairy came along and didi something to it and now im just banging my head against a brick wall so...

Hi can anyone please help with some advice, when I start my 1993 200tdi 90 it smokes quite a lot for a few mins then stops, only does it when it has been sat for some time ie overnight. The smoke is white/blueish and like I say only last till I reach the end of the street but there is quite a...
