G'day to all. I have just replaced the injector loom on my TD5 with a modified one from Davis Performance in Sydney Australia. Their modification stops the continuous migration of engine oil through the harness to the outside of the engine. Since fitting this harness there are no more tell-tale oil drips underneath, much less topping up of the oil and the motor is now clean. I don't know if anyone in GB does this but it is a worthwhile investment for any TD5. Check out their website: https://performancelandies.com/landrover/modification/td5-modified-injector-harness/

Hi all, I've searching around quite a bit and have noticed I might possibly be the only one with a military spec 110 with the 3.9L 4BD1 Isuzu engine and LT95A 4 speed gearbox, so is it possible to add in specs, so in Engine, 4BD1 3.9L, in model, Perentie 110 or Military 110, and in gearbox LT95A.
The model description is 110 Perentie Fitted for Radio Variant, Truck, Utility, Lightweight, FFR, MC2.
Some parts and wiring are different, but essentially it's a 110 with a galvanised chassis and heavy duty + 2" suspension as standard and heavy duty rims, rims are also different.

If no just tell me to bugger off :-)

Any chance we could add torque figures to bolt part numbers where appropriate?

Steering Wheel & Column - To MA962814
19 and 22 should be FS108256 as the other diagrams are. FB108251 is 125mm, way too long.

Part number QEH102460 (power steering pump to reservoir return pipe) is shown as 300tdi from XA onwards. just wondering if anyone knows why it cant be used on an earlier 300tdi. OI mean what could be the difference?

I don’t know if I’m just losing the plot, but why is it that I can’t find the wiring diagrams any more? Have they been taken down? I just can’t seem to find them

Am I mistaken in believing we could edit reviews? Trying to edit my review here but don't see an edit button when logged in: https://www.lrworkshop.com/parts/11H1781L

FN112046 is not "thin" like the title and Allmakes photo suggest.

FS108257L Allmakes image is incorrect. Should be flanged.

Searching for FS108207L brings up a related part, but not the correct one. Bug?

Believe AB606041L photo with black truss head screw is incorrect. Should be silver pan head as in other photo.

Is there a way to mark parts as superceded, or is it admin only? If not, GHF421 was superceded by AB606041L.

diagrams/land-rover-defender-transfer-box/transfer-box-lt230/gear-change_53750 should be to LA939975
diagrams/land-rover-defender-transfer-box/transfer-box-lt230/gear-change_53748 should be MA939976 on
Again, is this the correct way to address these refinements, or is the "Is there anything wrong with this diagram?" link preferred?

MWC9918LCS photo is incorrect. It is not a tree rivet. I've uploaded a correct photo. Also, what is "Nut-fqa" (also know as)? Is this the correct forum to deal with these issues?

300 TDi engine oil dipstick....is this pipe made in two pieces or one piece?
Crazy question. Seems mine is two---- the joint (apparently sealed with PRATLEY putty? is where the pipe secures ro the engine block

Cant find a prt number and seems this pipe is difficult to remove from the engine block, Please advise

Will,

Thx for the link re fitting TD5 intercooler to 300 TDi engine...seems like it can be done...however what is your recommended input...change to TD5 or try locate a new cooler for 300. setup?

Thx

I have modified this diagram as there were two "13" labels when one should have been "14" https://www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams/land-rover-defender-engine/200tdi/coolant-pump_53138

I recently modified 3 diagrams after this thread: https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic74098.html to try and clarify the rear crossmember to body bolts/washers. The Puma diagrams were copy/pastes of the pre-98 setup

Greetings Will,
Thanks for the feedback re-heater wiring. I reconnected the resistor that seemed t have continuity and flowed the colour coded wiring info and alas still now power came thru on the fan control speed regulator inside the cab. The figured the resistor slide was kaput and to repair this a new slide-push cable must be reinstalled. Can't find this part anywhere ere in RSA (South Africa) other than a secondhand one at an expensive price. To fix the problem I wired in a direct on-off switch that works the fand at a constant speed. In retrospect, to save costs on another slide heat control a two-way switch could be installed. I could not find one in the remote region I'm in. Later she said. I do this when back in a more accessible situation where I could find a switch.

Thanks again,

Ian S

Greetings Will
Thank you for the recent advice again. An old problem that I have partly attended to. I found a discarded heater blower in a junkyard. Paid 2 pounds for it. took back to my camp. stripped it down, cleaned it up painted it and it ran perfectly. I assume is was of a series 2 Landy as there are only two wires positive and negative. Changed the wires.
Now to the hassle.
I removed the heater box in the defender to discover THEY had bought a cheap Chinese desk fan and cut the guards to the blade and retrofitted the fan. A total B-up. So I dismantled the entire heater box into all its components straightened and replaced the rubber covers to the vents with a yoga mat, repainted and pop-riveted the heater together. Perfect. The resistor that was in the THEY left in place and bypassed this with another circuit which I have removed, thus I assume the resistor is OK part number UTP1281 with three wire harness
According to Landy Spares for the series 2 blower to operate I need part UTP1904
A new blower is around 142 pounds 3000.00 ZAR
Im not keen to throw a good blower motor away
It there a way I can change the defender resistor harness UTP1281 to run the blower? The slide control and push-pull cables are cleaned and fixed so there's no hassle there.
Any suggestions Will. No UTP1281 part available in SA
Thanks and kind regards

Hi Will
Thanks for great service in sourcing parts diagrams. I have stripped out the bench seat, floor plates and cleaned the transfer box of outside grunge. I now find the idiots who had the Landy before were coarse in the way they went about fixing, any damn thing on my Landy
I note they have used Pratley epoxy and used a Phillips screw to retain the speedo fork on the transfer box. I can slowly chisel out the Pratley and use a Dremel to clean the residue left behind. Just hope I can remove the Phillips screw and assume it is a 6 mm dia.
I've looked on the speedo diagram and see there is no mention how this wishbone clip is retained on the casing. I pic was sent by a spares outlet here in SA showing a new LT 230 box. The pic shows a hole, guess its 6mm.
When I have got the damn Phillips screw out I plan to clean the tread, assuming the case is threaded and replace with a SS cap screw using copper slip in case of future needs to replace the cable again.

Your advice, please? And how the wishbone is held in place?

Kind regards
Ian S

Guys
Im stranded alone, just me and my Landy ad a dog. Got comms, for now, sending from the Bush in South Africa. I want t try to fix my Landy speedo, Can't find any info where the gearbox end slides in and the best way to access this. Before I dismantle footplates....ill check the binnacle. The speedo indication jumped all over the dial then went dead...I do have another spare cable. If you're constantly in the bush, you gotta keep spares. Please help with info
Ive tried to find the diagram on LR workshop but cannot find where the cable is depicted. It is not under electrical and not under 300TDI engine. Where to find?????
Thx Mates

Fellow tinkerers, I have some ideas to enhance the parts lists: it would be nice to add references to alternative means of obtaining a part: many screws, springs, etc. are standard parts.
--ISO/BS/DIN/... references for standard parts and further descriptions like dimensions or material/surface coating
--Nuts, bolts that have a reference torque setting could have them added directly in the diagram. Makes looking up the correct value easier.
--Some parts are also used in other vehicles or tractors - reference part numbers would help getting a parts that is NLA@LR
--Some parts can be remanufactured using a 3d-printer; a provision to share a link into those 3d-part-libraries like prusaprinters, grabcad or thingieverse would be great

Hello. I recently sound proofed the interior of my 2012 Defender 90 HardTop. When everything was back in place the radio, clock and interior lights had stopped working. The clock is resettable when the ignition is on? All the fuses seem to be fine. The speedo and temp gauge don’t zero until the ignition is activated! What can I do to find the fault?

Landy Fiends.

Ive managed to get a spring made just before lockdown. Removal of the pedal is easy. Just a tiny rolll lin holds the shaft in place onto which the pedal depresses. You need a 2mm pin punch to knock the pin out and a pair of vice-grips, a magnet to keep the pin safe and another small part, if I recall correctly. I used a 2.5 gauge steel wire to make the spring. Another alternative is take the old spring and heat it up to cherry red on gas stove and twitch the spring lever open to increase pressure, then quench in old motor oil.

A pedal diagram showing all parts., no number is available on google chrome pics. Just search defender TDi 300 accelerator pedal assy.

Hope this helps.

Lockdown had given me time to work on my beloved TDi. Powerwashed the chassis and hand painted

Greetings Landy fiends
Where would I locate the part number for the accelerator pedal return spring. You know..such a simple part and difficult to find in RSA/

Thx guys for your feedback

I'm sure it's in there somewhere but I can't find them. The four bolts that hold the flywheel housing to the engine mounts on a 300tdi. Not for the lack of looking, trying to sneak up on a diagram ... slyly pretending your not looking any more and then suddenly out it pops ... nothing. To be fair I've recently had eye surgery so perhaps it is just me. But if anyone comes across them do let me know!

Hi,
I have just started to restore 1980 Land Rover Series 3 Stage 1 with my family members. However, I have trouble to find the gearbox type in which we have found this reference on the gearbox : 88101762A with constant 4WD. Furthermore, in the past this land rover series 3 had V8 ROVER Petrol Engine but someone has changes it and installed DIESEL ENGINE, ISUZU
4BD1, 4 CYLINDER 3.9 LITRE.. Does anybody knows if it is LT95 GEARBOX? Can you please send your information on the forum. Thank you MATE:-) FOR HELP ME.

Hi Will,
Is it possible for the overdrive parts diagrams to be added to the website? I have found the diagrams online and can e-mail them to you if required.

Just a thought.

Heating is missing

Hi again,
don't know if already discussed...

It would be very helpful to also provide the
footnotes in the drawings.
It often helps a lot to pick the correct part.

Thanks

hi,
one (? :-) ) error in german translation
"Cooling and Heating" ist in german just "Kuehlen und Heizen" not "Getriebe"
its possible to help with translation?

Hi all,
is there a reference on the meaning of the part number prefixes ?
e.g. RTCxxx STCxxx FRCxxx AAUxxx etc. etc.
I was told
RTC = RoverTriumphCars
LRC = LandRoverColour

Why have some parts a prefix and others not ?

Thanks

Hi Will,
Just saw that some assorted bits of drawing had been labelled as a part on the Series 3 88" Tailboard Page

https://www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams/land-rover-series-3-chassis-body/series-3-body/body-tailboard-fixings-and-rear-name-plate-88in_428#6

Hi Again,
Noticed that part number 90510912 had been split in half on the Series 3 Rear Body 88" Diagram ( https://www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams/land-rover-series-3-chassis-body/series-3-body/body-rear-body-88in_425#13 )

Item #12 and #13

Hi again, Noticed that the 109in label on the Series 3 door lock diagram had been linked as a part. Can this be deleted?
Thanks

Hi Will
I was about to upload images to part RTC3346 and noticed they are described as 75mm. This is incorrect this part number is for the 82mm ones.

Hi there.
Noticed that part number 568335 was actually linked as 68335. Can anything be done to change this?
Thanks
Sam.

Hi noticed these are not coming up on the site and thought this link maybe of use to you

I thought i'd open up a forum to record the things that go in to adapt and fix problems in the diagram and parts accuracy. Also we can discuss anything that is a bit ambiguous and collate research. To start with, so far the 2 diagrams i've adapted are these
On the later CV/halfshafts, the spacer and circlip are not separate parts (items 2,3,4,5), so i've removed them
https://www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams/land-rover-defender-axles-suspension/front-axle/drive-shafts_44783

For the air con facia, the grommet in the bulkhead was placed on the wrong side of the diagram, so I moved it over by where the pipe exits (item 11)
