| Just blew compressed air in the top and a nice flow of air out the bottom so doesn’t seem to be. Externally it’s quite clean. |

It’s a proper defender lump.

It kicks in for the first few minutes. Tested it with a piece of cardboard. Then more or less stops spinning until it’s hot again. Does that sound correct?
Yea, I’ve read that the 200tdi runs ... |

Viscous appears to ... |

Hi all. Looking for a bit of advice here from those who are wiser than myself.
I have a 1989 110 that was fitted with a 200tdi engine. I believe the conversion was done by Land Rover in the early ... |

Very. But they are worlds better than the older pre-2005 doors.
