That’s the issue with the bell housing hitting the bulkhead in this case with the short version it seems not possible. It’s been on the ramp

Last time i checked engine has to come out to change the clutch this way because of the shaft and area of the box hitting the bulkhead.. Anyone remember doing this ?

Sell it. I have the same problem on my 70 plate DS. 800£ for 2 parking sensors. 1200£ for rear pads and discs. 3 gearbox faults. can buy them at auction for like 5-6k these days.. DS are a waste of money.

Yes i know.. the whiskey thing should've been higher up.. but it was rusted away.. new arches this weekend new whiskey fuel only new rear 90 badge

maybe a bad earth, do you have 12v at battery? keep following it back - battery - switch - follow to plugs

there's more fun in unbolting it all yourself.. honestly with the amount of diagrams there are.. don't be afraid you'll be able to put it back together pretty easy with workshop manuals such as lrworkshop.com

hilarious... i did mine last night!

I got a quote for a bosch one.. £400.. LOL Spent £95 on a britpart one last night, will arrive tomorrow. Comes with same warranty as hella etc so we will see..

Any recommendations for top tier brand starter motor? Looking like a tight squeeze with the LT77 and the 300tdi pushed back a bit :(.

Looks good, not bad welds for the stick welder for those angles!

fuel leak off pipes are very common also

MOT passed today. Defender is now home after 6 weeks away with my sh*ting myself wondering if it's been stolen.

yeah was going to say.. even with a lift and transmission jack.. i'd be quoting like 3 hours also.. i got the vibe from the guy that he didn't want to do it as a aftermarket part as he wont make money on it.. got another quote today for 3-4 hours labour.. they're happy to do it.

300tdi defender to a lt77 How many hours would a “reputable landrover specialist” charge you? I phoned up today to ask for a price, got told it would take 8 hours at £60 a hour.. with me providing HD lof clutch kit. Thoughts?

the paint adds an extra 10hp ;) - let us know how this performs

"1 0wner Only 3940 mls from new." Only 97000 miles left to go then before it needs a new engine.

Thats why i don't have a plug in the bottom ;) gravity will do its work

I could just tell.. mine is ready for replacement Steve parkers kit's are the best.. went there few weeks ago I had the last down pipe for the old school 300tdi disco into a landy (using disco mounts).. previous owner was a cheap owner.. cut and just welded the chassis brackets 6 inches inwards!

Yeah can't wait till mine gets back from the garage this week and show you mine

why is no one commenting on how clean that steering rack is!
