I've bled it many times but only works for a short time (been ongoing for years)

Thanks that would explain it ,she has a 3 bolt steering box mated to a 300 tdi pump so hose from pump to box is 2 grafted together Would it only be the supply hose from the resivour or would a restriction anywhere cause cavitation ?

Power steering fluid frothing 300 tdi in a series with power steering Always had problems with frothing fluid / poor power assistance ,finally got round to changing steering box as it leaked but it didn't help Fitted a new pump today and it's still the same No visible leaks but I assume...

I have a lightweight with newer 10 spline axles (I've always believed them to from and 80s range rover but ?) Front brakes need renewed and best way to do it seems to be to get a kit with calipers ,discs and pads How ever the are all listed for defenders and rrc calipers have a different part...

Jacking it up won't help as tge shock just pushes up In the past I've had to cut one of the rubber bushes in half to get the nut on

That's a good one to try thanks Was at an rtv yesterday so repairing the damage from that now ! Will get a look at this one next week

Thanks il check cyclone breather and take exhaust off to check exhaust side of impeller

Pics of part that goes behind rear seats to hold rear floor ,rear seatbox support and sw rear tub (from one I've got in bits) Have a look around but these parts rarely come up for sale so are not cheap and will likely be corroded There Will also be 100 other small bits you will need for the...

I assume your talking 110 ? Would be easier and cheaper to buy a station wagon You would need ,rear tub ,b + c pillars, doors ,seat belts ,the bulkhead behind the front seats is different and there is a cross member that bolts to the chassis for the rear seat belts Plus there will be numerous...

Gauze on pick up pipe in tank could be clogged with muck ,either take out to clean or blow fuel hose back with compressor I find a tdi will run OK with a bad lift pump but will be harder to start

Not a sellers market atm sadly Old car prices (defenders included) have gone back to pre covid levels Have you tried a dealer to see what they offer ?

If you can find a 2.8 (not easy or cheap) as they were made in south America and not common here it's a fairly easy swap and they do have alot more tourqe You shouldn't break the gearbox as the td5 used the r380 As Mike says sort the basics first then go for extra power ,if you can't live...
