    24v Superwinch

    I brought this about 2 months ago off a chap who removed it from his defender before he sold it. When I got it, it was all seized up but i have stripped it down and re-greased it all and now it works fine. The only problem it has is that the casting on the end of the gearbox is damaged so...

    Clutch failure?

    When i had the slave out the arm was ok and hadnt been pushed through. Clutch release bearing hasnt been noisy. Im going to check the master cylinder push rod adjustment and if its not that its gearbox off time :(

    Clutch failure?

    I was driving home the other day when i changed from 5th to 4th i found I was unable to change gear as if the clutch wasnt disengaging. I was able to drive home by matching the revs to the gears. When i press the clutch pedal (which feels fine) the clutch only seems to disengage about...

    Im sure im getting diesel into my oil on my 1996 300tdi. I know its a common problem on the td5 but im wondering if anyone has had it happen to them on their 300tdi. Also if I let the vehicle sit for more that 24 hours it takes a few cranks to start as their is air getting into the system...

    a bit of a problem

    There are loads of series 3 bulkheads out there only requiring footwells. Seeing as you are buying a defender bulkhead that sounds like it is in the same condition it sounds a bit pointless and un-origional to me

    How much did you pay?

    Seeing as your getting 2 land rovers and an overdrive id say around 400-500 you dont say if either is tax exempt which will add more value.

    cheers all im a canadian who wants a defender

    I would personally look for a 300tdi engine'd 110 or 200tdi. they are the most reliable versions but the 300tdi is more refined so nicer to drive.
