• Ticking noise after new headgasket 2.5NA June 17, 2013
  I've got a 109 with a 2.5NA diesel engine. Recently I changed the headgasket because off an oil leak between head and block. After assembling the whole engine together it produces an ticking noise like the tappets are not adjusted properly.   What I've done so far: - new headgasket - re-surface head - new hotspots (after re-surface head, they just […]

• Rear Output Flange Advice June 17, 2013
  I'm after some Help please,   Once I have put the new output flange in (converting from 3 pin Disco to 4 pin Defender), I need to tighten it - Yes all the info I have looked at states 130Nm (you were spot on Boris) but this always shows a nut being tightened up. Mine is a bolt which has a smaller Ø than the nut so I assume should be a lesser torque? If […]
• Info needed on main loom AMR2352 June 17, 2013
  Hi guys,   Appologies if this has gone into the wrong forum.   i have aquired a new AMR 2352 bulkhead loom which i was hoping would tie in to a 91-96 type defender 90 which has a Disco 200Tdi engine transplant.   Does anyone have any knowledge  or wiring diagrams etc for this model loom and /or know whether this is a non-starter??   Don't really want to […]
• Fitting a Kenlow Fan June 16, 2013
  I have a 300tdi with a full length intercooler along the front of the radiator.  I want to fit a Kenlow electric cooling fan and hope that there's some guidance that I can benefit from. Anyone know of any videos or articles? What additional brackets tubes pipes etc will I need. What else might I want to do at the same time? How long will it take to get […]
• td5 defender axle onto early 90 June 16, 2013
  I've found one of the above its the none abs single pipe brake caliper setup with ventilated discs. Will it bolt straight on my E reg 90? Looks a different setup on mine at the moment. Am sure the hockey sticks bolt on under my axle but the td5 one is different. It makes no odds I hope but question is will the td5 arms fit my chassis etc? […]
• Sealing Defender headlights? June 16, 2013
  What's the best way to seal up the headlights in a defender? Do the rubber boots work?   I've got new IPF headlamps and bulbs to go in when I've redone the wiring and I'm wondering how to keep the water out.   If the 90 was offroad only I'd just fit sealed beams. […]
• Petrol ignition switch wiring June 16, 2013
  Thought it would be better to post here than in my build thread So I am building a v8 petrol 90. I have a petrol loom, the vehicle I am using as a donor was a 200td diesel. The ignition switch and wiring is wrong for a petrol so I got a new Lucas ssb 300 petrol ignitin switch. On the back of the new switch all the connections are the same size and numbered 1 […]
• Wiper motor June 16, 2013
  This is probably really silly. Have traced my fault back to the wiper motor. Undid the big nut to separate from outer sleeve and removed motor from bulkhead and taken off back plate. Removed circlip and the top gear with attached arm but how do I get the motor free of the inner drive to the wheel boxes?Does the white plastic bit at the neck which holds the c […]
• Getting a motorcycle into a 110 June 15, 2013
  Hi there, I've got a two-seated Defender 110 with about 190cm cargo space behind me. I do consider buying myself a BMW F650 GS motorcycle (old model). Due to my circumstances I may need to relocate with both good things (about 2000 km). Trailer is too complicated for an option. I read from the specs that the bike is about 210 cm long, so it seems to be […]
