    Have a 1997 Defender 90 that we have been putting on a new chassis. Everything ran prior. Since chassis swap, no start condition. Good fuel pressure and spark. Have never run into this issue before, but the engine will only run when the fuel pump is unplugged and fuel pressure is at 0. Engine...

    I have the strangest problem occurring with my N/A 2.5 Defender 110: I NEVER have any issues driving around town at slower speeds, but when I get on the highway, after 5-6 miles or so at a high speed (100 km/h) the vehicle starts to lose some power, then some more power, then it can be OK again...

    I have a 300tdi that seems to have a moderate leak around the rear mounted tank, and on some of the lines. This vehicle does not have a seimentor. I have to drop the tank to do some other work, so my plan was to just replace all the fuel lines at that point. I understand the lines going to...

    I just removed my leaking fuel tank to replace with new. Wondering if the original tank skid plate is designed to be removed; can’t seem to split it away from the old tank. Not sure if it’s welded or just rusted in place. Can’t seem to remove it and would rather clean up and use vs buying new...

    Hi Guys - thought I would start a new thread since I can't seem to find another post that matches my situation. Here's the current state... 94 NAS 90, 3.9L V8, AC For the past year or so, the truck ran ok but would stumble under load (usually when I was accelerating at the bottom of a hill...

    I seem to be over fueling right now, the exhaust smells a bit like it and has some white smoke (not wet, and I’m not loosing coolant before we go down that path).. Here is the setup Stock engine (intake, MAF, chip, etc) No air intake side leaks (which would lean it out really) NO CATS...

    I have a replacement ‘Unleaded Fuel Only’ sticker to go on my truck but I’m having a tough time getting the ratty old one off. Is there a special technique to removing the old decal? Goo Gone? Heat?

    I have a Series 3 with a 2.5 na diesel. Currently the fuel shutoff solenoid is wired directly from the battery to a pull switch on the dash and then to the solenoid. I want to add an inline fuse and relay. Any suggestions on fuse and relay amp size? Thanks

    I'm in an 86' 110 3.5 V8 and just in the past two or so days, the fuel pump is about 3 - 4 times louder and now the truck won't start. When I turn the key one click, typically the fuel pump starts and it's a quiet ticking, now it's very loud, so loud that it can be easily heard over a turned up...

    I have a RHD, 1989 110 w/ the 3.5L V8. I still have the twin, factory corroborator setup. Today, I was trouble shooting why my heater blower motor was not working. I'll deal with that another time. I turned the key to on but did not start the engine. I need power to the fan while I was...

    Has anyone fitted a fuel injection set-up that looks like a carb on a rover v8? Like this: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sne-550-511k

    OK here's another one... Changing to tdi style fuel filter / filter head. Parts book looks like it shows a bolt going thru the firewall with nut on other side. Will this require removal of the dash air vent trim panel or is there another way to get behind there? I took that panel off once...
