Around 145K miles. Guess 1st hg change as seller in Balloch didn't mention they did it and no service papers prior. Came from N Ireland. It was in good cond when inspected it and handed over the cash. Gaffa tape keps us try when we drove it home. Replaced most parts since, incl had to buy a mig...

Hopefully you'll be as lucky as we were when the headgasket went few years ago. I wasn't sure sure what the faf faf faf sounds was, thought exhaust and drove it gently for a week before booking it into garage. They said hg leak near bulkhead and good news that head was fully good and just needed...

Thats quick indeed! Now get the coolant sensor cap with added RR classic flavour to the mix and you got a working system. I fitted my homemade box behind the dash for less wires in engine room. Depends on where you easiest can get a +12v from ignition and how handy running wires:-) Thanks we...

Cheers for the word Agglomerator as comes up with reasonably priced filters with the clear bowl as you say. Now need to find a suitable one for fitting a watersensor too, and finding the water sensor. Googling continues Good tip on keeping fuel cap on, guess thats why petrol stations have a...

Dodgy fuel seems to be the subject at the moment. Never experienced it in UK SA 4x4 magazine had an article about it in most recent magazine mentioning Racor filters Youtube channel "4WD action" made a video about it few days ago. Thou feels more like a commercial and its very expensive for...

It works well, found a guide online 2 years ago and bought the component and the PRC7925. Connected it up and it works. If coolant level gets abit low and on heavy breaking the diode/buzzer in dashboard activates. So good indicator topup is needed. Guess the kit you bought is same. If you have...

Thanks for the offer for a fuel sediment filter. Is it same as standard fitted? Do you have a part nr? Main thing I want to achieve is to know in the cabin via visual indicator when to let the water out of the fuel filter. Got the coolant tank lid from think a RR classic and wired upto a green...

Hi All Whats your experiences and thoughts on instaling a pre fuel filter on a 300tdi Defender? Know the 300tdi eats most, veggie oil included and fuel quality in UK is good everywhere. Thou it changes when driving in Europe or further. Seen the youtube channel "Defender mods and travels". He...

Austria Vignette sounds fairly priced and saves diesel and time as more direct. Will read up on the Hungarian one and how much in advance for ordering. Then Romania/Bulgaria or Serbia/Bulgaria to read about next Romania sounds interesting, seen few 4x4 videos from Carpatian mountains and looked...

Cheers for usefull info and confirmarion that don't need the german stickers on our landy.. Been reading the webpage you linked too alot thou what ot says can always differ from real life. Is it correct that the Brussels green zone covers the motorway ringroad around the city? According to maps...

Any updates on your journey HeywoodFloyd? Whats the score re Germany and environment sticker? Is motorways okay without it? We're looking at route options from Calais to Turkey avoiding as many toll roads and environmental stickers as possible. Motorway around Brussel sems out of the question...

If it can be done in a Hippo it can be done in a Defender.. And can tell you it works well. After 2rd attempts on cheap inverters. Advice is buy quality. 1st 1000w Amazon did a year, then got a 2000w Ebay for 2 years and now a 1500w Victron. Microwave is a 600w Daewoo QT1 which max draws 6.5Amp...

Brilliant info Mick Wil give it a try and report back

Found this thread on another forum, which explain that lower level marking is not acurate with the sensor! So filling up the reservoir further might help https://forums.lr4x4.com/topic/79018-the-brake-warning-light/ Part nr for the cap appears to be ntc4414 or SJL100200 for all defenders 83 to...

Brake fluid sensor works as a switch the connects or disconnects the earth/neutral wire going to the dash lightbulb. Hence if you take abit of wire and shorten the two crimp connectors going into the sensor the dashligh should come on. The sensor mechanism in the brake fluid reservoir...

Think its abit of a myth, When we considered which pedal lock to buy mudstuff was contacted and this was their reply: Hi Thanks for your email. We've never had a instance of that being reported, and we've sold a couple of thousand. Furthermore in the development stage of the 'ardcase the...

I'm sure mine had had it when it was bought and for few months.. Kinda recall that the light went out at same time as courtesy light function went out. Its a County model with luxories such as carpets and sunroof. All door and handbrake switch was replaced back then and didn't change a thing...
