if you watch the short video i've posted on youtube, you'll see that my defender's 300tdi rattles a LOT when it starts, and it seems to be coming from the air filter box and pipe. this goes away when a bit of throttle is applied or after a few minutes. Noisy 300 tdi startup - YouTube i...

ok thanks guys, sadly my door is the newer type which is more fiddly (why would they change this??) i'll have a look on monday, bought a new door lock button since i'll probably break it

driver's window has a stuff window wind. starts to get really hard to wind and sometimes gets stuck. about 3 inches down, for about 6 inches then clears back up again. sometimes worse than other times, sometimes barely happens anyone have any idea? i'd have had a look before but i'm at a loss...

what are they?

i checked it for play, there doesn't seem to be much more than a cm or 2 each way, do you reckon it might be something else?

hi everyone, recently i've noticed the landy (300tdi 1997 defender 90) wobbling or rolling a bit while driving. I tightened up all the wheel nuts as far as possible but it continues. I took the wheel bearing end covers off (little plastic bowls) and the passenger side wheel was fairly dry but...

ok thanks fellas, i'll have a look around for some wading prep kits

no it's more of a metallic scrapey squeaking from a rotating part rather than a clicking sound

hi, i know this subject's been roughly covered before but i wanted some more exact advice - if i needed to wade in my 300TDi (which i have needed to before) how deep is it safe to go without fitting a wading breather kit, or wading proofing? the LR manual says 50cm but that's ****, you...

thanks curry, but i'm 95% certain it's linked to the wheel turning (unless, of course, the radius arm bushes have to do with that) i'll be having a look tomorrow morning when it's on an inspection lift so hopefully i'll find the cause of the problem

yeah i checked for stuff like stones and grit but there was none there, and not been off roading properly for a while

ok thanks guys i'll do all these things at the weekend, do brakes squeak without the shims even when they aren't being applied?

Hi everyone, I think this is a common problem so you might be able to help me out. something at the front of my 90 squeaks a bit each time the axle (or possibly wheel? not sure.) goes round, but it doesn't always do it and i can't normally hear it over the engine. the UJs have all been...

ME? I was going to ask my mum to do it ;) cheers, i'll have a look around for some i like your profile pic by the way, very nice landy. those alloys look very good unlike LR's stock alloys...which, in my opinion, look awful

ok thanks, how could i tell if the selector yoke's worn? i thought it might have been something other than the switch tbh

this has been annoying me for a while now... when i put it into reverse, the stick normally has to be held right in for the light to come on. sometimes though, when i pull it into reverse, it kind of clicks and the light stays on on its own just fine. do you think a new switch would sort...

thanks very much! a perfect answer :) i'm looking forward to getting this done ASAP. i was thinking of just putting the carpet on but do you think some 25mm kingspan or some such material underneath would be worth putting on first?

going to line the roof in the back of my 90, thinking of using something like this Car Carpet BLACK Luxury Pile Carpet for trimming - Gel Backing 2.03 x 1.60m. | eBay but I want to do it properly first time, i.e. not have it sagging down and getting in my way after a week because it's been...

is there a decent place they can be secured into? i remember my dad's work van used to have holes in the rear where interior lights could be installed if needed..

hi everyone, i'm sure this has been done - has anyone put in a light which comes on in the back when the front doors are opened? I was thinking of putting in an extra interior light, same as in the front, and running a wire from the front one to the back (assuming it would work ok as there...
