Cheers, I’ll try that.

I think the current one is Britpart, replaced about 10 years ago when the oil cooler imploded! Might be a weak pump - I have found receipt for a pump I bought about 5 years ago, but I have to say I don’t actually remember fitting it! Probably...

Viscous fan still fitted?

No, I ought to get a leccy one fitted, but she’s run fine without one for years, I don’t work her hard.

Let it cool down & remove the plug in the top of the rad. You should see water flow from the top hose

My son fitted a Britpart rad to his and it's lasted fine and cools well, if that's any help. Water pump should come off OK if the cambelt has been changed as per recommendations.

200tdi (out of a Disco, but same thing!) had started to get a bit toasty! Top hose is too hot to touch, as is most of the rad, bottom hose is also hotter than I like. New rad time? Any reliable way of testing the pump without trying to take it...

They look like this bulge in the middle of the front and rear axles. I changed my oils months ago ;), but it doesn’t make a puddle. To believe your gearbox and transfer box has been out recently to blame it on an “overfill “ is a bit of a...

They’re not meant to leak, but honestly, that is perfectly normal for a Defender! You’ll soon learn not to park on expensive-looking driveways.

I’m with Admiral too. They were the best price around, didn’t mind the minor modifications either.

Strange, mine went down last year. Try Admiral as I have a Td5 90, my son has a Ninety (200tdi) and a D2 no problems or restrictions. I found the specialists more expensive or restrictions, in a garage ( yeah right). A-plan said we are in a high...

Ahh ok. Trial and error be your friend here! Good luck!

No its the splined shaft I took off... I suppose the optimistic way of looking at it theres only 15 ways of doing it wrong if its a 16 spline shaft...

I’ve never worried about which way round the yokes get put back on. As long as you haven’t pulled the sliding halves apart they will still be phased correctly. Happy to be corrected! 😀

Sweet

So tomorrow, Friday, she is 40 years old. Got excited and pulled my log book out in prep to take to the post office and register it as historic. Turns out Next april is when it becomes Tax free! Doh. It does say that it's MOT free now, but...

Not LED! Fixed - the earth wire was cracked in the loom and causing the issue.

I'm going to suggest a high resistance earth causing the issue, (its always the earths with a land rover :rolleyes: ) enough of a circuit to register on the meter but not enough to actually power anything. Try a good either direct to something...

Spooky, 🤔. Is the bulb trying to draw more power than the wires are sending, but they have enough power to work the multi meter. If you had a length of wire run from the front indicator to the rear and see if that will flash the bulb then you...

I’ve omitted the connectors, literally down to the wires. Flashing 12v with a multimeter (analog), nothing with wires contacting bulb (nothing via connector either). Multiple, good bulbs tested.

Sounds like the connections on the holder are at fault somehow. Not making contact correctly If you swap the osr over to nsr, does it work?

No, not another “I’ve fitted LEDS and my lights are doing funny things” thread. I bought some “modern” sealed (ish) indicator units to replace the crappy original ones in the ‘87 110. Simple enough job to swap them over…not. Got them all working...

To be fair to them, it’s not just for Landies, and about 50% of what the Landy stalls were selling needed to be weighed in! 😂 I have a small list of parts to find each time, but I also go just for a jolly. My top find today (and probably...

Yes, I went. I was later getting there as I had to help get the children ready for a trip to the in-laws. It was bigger than the autumn event, but likewise there were a lot more stalls selling tat and non-Landy rubbish. Sheepskin rugs, antiques...

Anybody else go? Lovely day, only just made it around all the stalls.

Thank you both, and i take it i need to get the metric m10 x 1 fittings?

£5 with the code!

Looks like a good one. I’ve just purchased the Defender edition, only to realise the email address on my billing details is no longer accessible by me, doh! I’ve contacted them and hopefully they’ll sort it out.

Chinese imports by European and UK brand at European prices just more profit and to hell with the quality as the Chinese cut the corners for the same reasons greed is rife and we are the mugs paying for it

And they are surprised when it gets dumped in the nearest hedge.
