    Transfer box whine.

    Aye, they're not expensive and they tend to wear around where the seal sits and it'll cause it to leak. Oh and refit with new seal, nut and fibre washer. Get a good quality oem seal too

    Defender 90 heaters and coolers

    You'll probably find that just sealing the system makes a massive difference. Most people overlook it when trying to improve the heating and instead focus on the heater matrix itself. The heating in my 1996 110 is brilliant

    Transfer box whine.

    Remove the prop and handbrake drum. Take out the speedo drive. Remove the oil seal, big nut and washers, take the flange off then the big circlip that holds in the bearing. You can then either use a slide hammer to remove the shaft with the bearing on, or loosely refit the flange and nut and...

    Central dash plate part number

    Just cut your own using that as a template, it's just a bit of plastic with screw holes in

    TD5 Fuel pump access panel

    I just eyeballed it. Never even thought about having a plate to screw over the hole but all the same I guess

    TD5 Fuel pump access panel

    I cut one in mine to make it easier to access the top of the 110 300tdi tank. I just cut out a square section, hinged it, stuck a wee catch on and it works fine. It's hidden under the matting so you don't even know its there

    Stick 12v to them as well and find out. Might need a switched live

    300tdi belt tensioner - Dayco or other make?

    I originally had a Dayco fitted but was trying to chase the source of a squeaking noise. I replaced it with another unbranded one which had more play in it and made the noise worse. I sent that back and they sent me a far better oem spec one at no extra cost and the quality was leaps ahead of...

    Timing belt setting correct tension

    You can get a dial gauge from Halfords and they're cheap. You need one for doing the cylinder head bolts anyway

    Help - starter rapid clicking intermittent won’t start

    I'll bet any money the connections at the back of the fuse had been pushed out a bit as well. I've had this problem plenty times

    Bent cross member on an ‘87 110

    You can unbolt and replace them but I'm sure it involves jacking apart the chassis rails slightly which doesn't sound fun

    Gearbox/Transfer Box Issue? Please Help

    Are you able to get it into gear and drive at all? Has the diff lever been knocked partially into neutral?

    Help - starter rapid clicking intermittent won’t start

    Do yourself a favour and bin your Haynes manual. They're OK for beginners but the actual land rover workshop manuals are far better and easily available online

    Half Hazard

    Left turn clunk! While parked

    Did you correctly shim and tighten the pins? When rebuilding the hub with new bearings you need to check the preload and adjust accordingly. I'm wondering if you've overtightened the left hand side or put too few or too many shims in

    Retrofitting a 2000's cassette/radio to a 200 tdi defender: questions and advice

    I've no idea what half those wires are for. All you need is a permanent live, switched live, earth and then your speaker cables. That's it

    Wanted 110 full roof rack

    Just do what I did and cut one to fit. I had a brownchurch traditional style roofrack so I cut it to suit my rooftent. You can usually pick those ones up pretty much anywhere and they're cheap

    300tdi radiator change help

    That frame will probably be for a 200tdi if it's to fit a disco 1. Get yourself to a scrappy and find one off a disco with a 300 and it should fit. As for changing the radiator it's a piece of ****. Disconnect everything from the old one. Slide it out (might as well take out the intercooler and...
