Anyone selling a dowty pump to fit the LT230 TX box? or can recomend a seller? Cheers Sam Crow

Thanks for that chaps, now all I need to complete mission is a dowty pump unit?

Hello, I have a defender 130 300Tdi fitted with R380 gearbox. Will the LT230 transfer box bolt straight on to this unit or do I need a particular transfer box spec for this later model Landy? Thanks Sam

Much appreciated, Thanks Sam

Have thought about overloading but the hiab is going to be directly behind the cab so in reality the weight of the hiab approx 300kg is equivalent to the extra 3 man cab combined weight for that section. So long as the legs counter the weight and are not causing the chasis to bridge to much on...

Thanks for that, I will get a sub frame made up and will post the work as ongoing if its okay with you? that way I can get your imput regarding the compensators? etc once again thanks for the help. Sam

Hi de hi... Any help or advice for fitting a hiab to a defender 130? In particular,is it best to fasten the hiab to the new subrame and drill and bolt through the subframe or better to make plates so that the bolts pass arround the subframe? Anyone with opinions or pictures of similar work...

Spot on! bled system, everything ok...

Thanks for the help chaps. Reading over the posts and getting back to your bit about the gears grinding etc, before the gears would'nt engage at all they were grinding... so this leads somewhere me thinks? Tried the spring as you said but the pedal does'nt drop still spongy. Still...

Great, thanks for that I will have a look later. I'm supposed to be installing the new bathroom so the missus will not be pleased if I have'nt got at least the toilet in today!!!

Spot on. As I said earlier the clutch seems very light?

Nothing, yesterday when I last drove it there was abit of that?

Thanks for that, just been out and checked your stuff but theres still no engagement... the clutch seems very light under foot?

As ever, series 3 working fine then on 4th day of ownership I am unable to engage gear... duh! any help advice before new clutch?

I want the vehicle to be given a full once over so I know that its mechanically sound for the next few years. Its just got old and needs some care and attention the doors are shot so theres nothing to be had in trying to repair them.

And full respray!!

Add on! Chassis in VG condition. Must have been from an exception batch of good material. No need for replacement.

Thanks for that. 3 new doors. Complete stripdown. Work to x member & door pillars. service overhaul engine g/box.

Salutations! Can anyone recomend someone who can rebuild my 90 TD5. I have tried a couple of companies but they all talk the job but never come up with the goods price/dates etc. I need to get my 1988 back on the road soooooner rather than next year as it is also my work vehicle. I am in...

No, I mean a turbocharger from a 200TDi to fit a Defender 2.5TD. Thanks for that.
