i've also been under it this morning and the cylinder is extended

the lever wont go back to the dis-engaged position

Hey i engaged my diff lock yesturday to go through some deep mud, but could not dis-engage it afterwards, it's a 76 rangie with the 4 speed box with a fairly overdrive. i've tried rocking it out, going forward a reversing and a bit of brute force but the thing wont shift. any idea's i can...

Cheers guys,

my 3.5 v8 (with carbs) has been back firing alot on start up, and not just little pop's, sometimes it sounds like a shotgun going off. everytime it does this the performance seems to change too, as in sometimes i cant put my foot down in 3rd and 4th. any helpful input would be appreciated guys

i got my mirrored film off ebay for about a fiver and it comes with a credit card sized squeegee and a small razor blade. use loads of soapy water (ideally from a squirty bottle) always put the film on the inside of the window when i did the back window i ruined 2 pieces of film thanks to the...

have your contact points checked in your distributor too, mine went slack so every time i buried my foot my engine would splutter all over the shop, had to drive round only accelerating gradually to stop it. the replacement part only cost like £7

Well they showed the new Land rover Dc100 today, which has been confirmed as the replacement for the Defender in 2015. Looks pretty but it does not look like the old work horse you'd expect from a defender. what do you guys think?

best to have a look around the distributor and coil with lack of rev's. my 3.5 v8 was failing to rev properly which turned out to be lazy contact breaker in the distributor, £5 later and i was sorted

but wont that weaken the bar

i could but i'd have to lean so far to the one side to change gear, it would not be practical.

my classic rangie (76) is now sporting a defender body. The straight up gear stick gets so close to the dash in 1st and 3rd that i sometimes crack my knuckles. is there an easy fix for this? or should i go to the effort of warming up the stick and bending it closer me (if so how risky is this...

ok that clears that up. cheers :)

yeah that sounds about right, so whats the deal with this cos mine is not connected.

ok guys, 3.5 v8 has 2 sender units on the engine, the water temp sender sticks out of the front of the block. there's a 2nd one on the top, is it an oil temp/pressure sender or something else. any help appreciated guys

Turns out it was just the gauge, bought a new one off ebay for £20 and all works fine.

Hey all im soon to be a first time landy owner, the one im getting has a few small probs that im looking for advice on. 1) The fuel gauge always reads full, is this the gauge, wiring or the fuel tank sensor? 2) Is there any where i can find a guide to rebuilding the heating system so that...
