question Sick LR 90 ex RAF 2.5 na diesel

[robin craig]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

Before anyone shoots off a "not a problem" reply, bear in mind we are in Canada. There is virtually nothing Land Rover parts related out here.

 

Our 1987 90 has a sick injection pump, the gearbox has lost syncro in 1st and 2nd. It leaks diesel like a garden hose and gear changes are crunchy at best. Like all 2.5 na diesels it was never a speed demon.

 

What should our game plan be to freshen the vehicle up and make it useable again?

 

Who should we consider buying parts from direct from UK?

 

It is a clean tidy truck otherwise and we would like to keep originality and not drop a TDI into it.

Personally, with you being abroad, I would stick to the big boys,

 

Try Blanchards. More expensive then most, but quick to reply and very helpful.

 

Also , try John Craddocks. They have a breakers dept.

Thanks for that,

 

I will give them a call and see what turns up.

Too close this thread here, we have elected to rebuild both the engine and gearbox locally with parts sourced from the UK by us.

 

I will set up a new thread on what and how we do it.

 

Thanks for your responses to my questions.
