Thanks for the reply Kevstar, blimey a lot to think about, I’m based in North Devon and don’t work on the vehicle, are there any recommended garages that people have used, near me? I have Devon 4x4 and Tamar Landrover’s. Tamar went through my 90...

New alternator arrived yesterday (my mistake, first one arrived Friday but realised I had ordered a defender one not a discovery one and they are handed opposite!) and was fitted today, all being well it should not require anything for a good...

Strange how people's experience varies, even those owning the same make/type of engines. I've used Champions in a variety of cars, not just 4x4's, for decades & can't remember ever having a problem though admittedly the recommended replacement...

Only replacing the diff ?? where are you buying your replacements, what about halfshafts, end caps, cv joints ect ect You have other issues elsewhere either with worn prop/transfer box output shaft or castor camber angles or parts above. How are...

Thanks for posting, the garage is an approved LR one and I was in the garage when one of them was being serviced an the mechanic was happy for me to watch as he explained what he was doing

I’m interested in the top half of it I.e. all the gearbox gear if you could send some pictures. Could you also give a location of where you are? Thanks

It would be decent project if the engine was sound and all the bits were there. Really nice bloke that owns it at the moment so dont want to offend him with low offer.

Another Hippo 🦛 on the way to wherever Hippos go when they leave this earthly realm

Hello, very recently registered in this Zone. Eventually found the ‘introduce yourself’ section, found Defender section earlier and searched for info. relating to ECUs. The more i read the more possible problems emerge for Defender Td5, 2004...

Hi all, new member here, please be gentle. Had my 90 for 5 years, I’ve done nearly 40k miles. 98% on the road with a little off roading. I’ve had two new front diffs fitted in my ownership and just had a front wheel bearing done (first one in...

I hope she makes a speedy recovery poor wee soul, should get one of the panic button systems or even an indoor cam then yer can spy keep an eye on her.

I would have used him as a bouncy castle ages ago, bloody leech.

So, the old gal was admitted for obs etc. and the wife came home. I had cooked her a steak dinner and she is resting after a tiring stressful day.

Ive got a 200tdi engine to go with said sump, all he needs is give me that v8. :p:p:p

Evening all, what a scorcher of a day best of the year oh well snow next week. 🤣 🤣

Hi, did you receive any replies? None that i can see, here. Did you have any luck on any other forums? Sorry that i cannot help because of lack of experience. Good luck.

You need one of these, warm the motor up then suck away...you could remove the oil as well 🤣 🤣

Fabulous, thank you. I'll stick with the T wash process as you suggest and looking forward to reading Dags links before I start. Looking forward to getting going on it while the weather is being kind.

Yer n have to walk miles to get to a phone box which stunk of pish n had page 3 models on lager cans scattered on the floor 🤣 🤣

Evening all, So ive got a manual td5 disco 2. parked it on the drive a bit back and it stalled by itself. and ive been trying for a couple months to get it going and still no luck. It turns over but doesnt turn on the fuel pump, no noiuse or...

Hi, You should use GKN axles, If you have budget issue put an used one. Don’t put aftermarket, they doesn’t last more than 1 or 2 years on common vehicule and can be less than that on a 4x4 because of the heavy angles. You can also change only...

Hello everyone! New member, but this subject is probably as old as my vehicle(2000 Freelander 1). I'm probably up for a change of CV Axle(s). I have a mean shudder at acceleration in the 4th gear, around 50-70km/h. Due to delivery times, price...

It would make the idiots walking along on there phone jump a bit :vb-biggrin:

Could be fun with a pair each side!

Looks like an interesting drive.

Saying this from only a basic understanding of metallurgy I have no doubt that muriatic acid would do a great job of etching steel or galvanized steel. Ive used it to remove rust and etch the inside of motorcycle petrol tanks and had decent...
