    Used it to tow some roles to try and flattern me field. Fixed the transfer box so I could get it in low range. Grub screw had come loose on the little arm. Hopfully it stays tight :)

    That's what I did in the end, ratchet on the plug and a fool off big breaker bar leaning against the chassis, and me hanging of the other end "crack" it started to move :). Fluid was white :( topped it up and made a mess in the process. Tis due a services so will get more oli and do it all again

    Trying to undo my fill plug on the side of the transfer box and it has seized solid! It was being rather noisy so thought IDE top it up, can't open the bloody thing. Checked gearbox and it hasn't lost a bit of fluid, but think transfer box has been leaking. Worried it's got hot and the plug has...

    Tried my best to polish and clean it and make it look presentable as I have to drive in a funeral preseason on Friday. Don't know if I will blend in too well :/

    Save the defender petition!

    Singed. Sick of crapy jappy pickups being the vehicle of choice. If land rover stop production of the defender and produce another shiny **** wagon it will be a travesty

    Oooo ****, don't like the sound of that, sounds important. When is it located and is it just a case of tightening it up?

    need to secure my exhaust because its rattling badly. Does anyone know if there are any adjustments I can make to the transfer box, im not quite getting enough travel to get it into low range, and if i set it up so i can get it in low, i cant get it to stay in high range. If that makes...

    Anyone know what thickness of ground wire would be suitable? I was thinking about 25mm (170 amp) for a starter motor strap could go a bit excessive and get a 70mm one ;)

    Don't think solenoid is stuck. Had that problem before and it made a horrid noise when running! Plus I'm pretty sure I can hear it slapping the little cog in place when I turn the key. Personally think the brushes have gone in the motor :/ tried rocking It back and forth in first while holding...

    Tried by passing it with a jump lead to engine bay. Get the starter click and relay but won't turn over. Though motor may be stuck so gave it a tap. Nothing, did notice sparks coming off it though when I tapped it with something metal. Bit odd

    Morning all. Drove mine after fitting a new clutch Friday and sat :). Had a bit of trouble starting it this mornin. Though, the starter relay clicked when I turned the key to 3rd position. But the starter motor didn't turn over or anything like that. Was thinking one of the switches in the...
