Defender 90 300 Tdi (1994)
Evening all ...

Can somebody help please?? I've just been doing a bit of corrosion prevention under the bonnet and would appreciate your help please.


Click image to enlarge

Firstly (Number 1 in the picture) had some flaky surface rust on the plate held by six slotted screws. What's under the plate and why does it have a rubber seal??

I want to remove the six screws and replace with new ones ... Any problems to be aware off???

Secondly (Number 2 in the picture) is a purple wire coming through the bulkhead to a dead end (Insulated) ... comments please???

Many thanks

John

1. Clutch master cylinder. The seal is to try keep water off your foot.

2. I don't know.

They are not standard metric screws, but are more like self cutting screws.
I have purchased SL510031 for my Puma. They are Philips (or Pozi) heads, but not replaced them yet, so unsure if the threads are an exact match. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Purple wire is typically for the door switches (purple blue or is it purple white?). I hazard a guess that this wire is for the bonnet switch that is not fitted on your car?

Hi Dinnu ... Yep, removed them today and as you say "Non standard".

I'm very tempted to tap out to standard M5x0.8. One issue is getting the bottom left hand hole tapped because of the Brake Servo unit being in the way. 2010 Defender 90 300Tdi CW (White/1994)

Having cleaned the cable carefully, it's colour is Purple/Red ... any thoughts folk please

Certainly there is no bonnet switch on my 1994 Defender 90 2010 Defender 90 300Tdi CW (White/1994)

Hi Dinnu ... Just a point of note, I elected to get a replacement Clutch cover and gasket (and screws) as mine were in poor shape.

I ordered from "Boltonbits" (eBay item eBay Item No. 235181059981) and they arrived this morning. Cover and Gasket great but they supplied standard M5 slotted round heads.

... So I "Did" decide to tap out the original holes to M5. The bottom left hole was not straight forward because of the closeness to the back of the Brake Servo Unit. I took the M5 tap and put an 8BA spanner on the flats of the tap and eased it through that way.

Disappointing to read the ebay advert that claims

Yes ... a little mis-leading.

Glad to hear you like "Original" ... someday you just "may" have a problem

Why did you need to replace those screws anyway?!
