I can hear some Air leaking sound under the bonnet, but my hearing is not so good due to an ear drum surgery. I have just recalled vacuum pump was replaced few years ago by a mechanic and I have only driven around 2k miles since then ( within last 4 year ). When that mechanic replaced the...

Fluid has been renewed recently, I will try to check the Servo and Vaccum leak. But most of the time brakes are solid, it’s only happening on long break

Hi it has discs all around

Hi Folks Need some help on the 300tdi conversion brakes. I have noticed some weird thing about brakes, may be when the weather is bit warm. When I press the brake peddle for little bit longer then peddle slowly goes all the way down. When I apply the double brakes then brake peddle gets hard...

There is not stamp, it’s has Telford’s sticker on it

Hi does anyone recognise which vehicle these seat frames belongs to. Looks like these are 2 door front seat with drop down lever but not sure if these are for Land Rover or not. Thanks

I drove one Discovery TD5 Automatic today, they are nothing like 300 Tdi, I didn’t like it all. I will stick with Manual 300TDi. If anyone selling a 110 (Pre 1985) 5 doors then please get it in touch.

Hi yes, i am intending to do all of the work myself as gained my will power by working on my 90 lol. I am looking for a pre 1985's Defender 110 with TD5 but can't find any. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong place :-(

Hi thanks for the explanations, sorry what would be the advantage of 1.3 ratio ? Does anyone has a experience with TD5 automatic Defender

Thanks for your advice, I have read on the Wikipedia Defender history and noticed that 300tdi with Automatic transmission does 122bhp? If 300Tdi is more powerful with an Automatic transmission then why would it makes sluggish? The price they charge is insane, for M57 conversion, I personally...

Hi I have a full driving license and own a luxury Auto Mercedes, but I still love to drive my Defender 90 with LT77 gearbox. I’m interested to find out that people prefer manual Defender or automatic? I was under the impression everyone wants Automatic

Hi where have you advertised your Defender?

Hi Folks Hope everyone is doing good. I love the iconic Defender and I’m thinking to buy an old 110 so it could be restored properly with galvanise chassis and other parts along with an Automatic transmission. When I read the threads about 300Tdi, TD5 or M57 engines everyone has their good and...

Hi Flossie, I’m being so dumb as I didn’t realise that yes there is a spring on that ignition switch and finally I have leaned it now how to use it. It does allow me to twist the key to spring and glow plug light come on. Thanks for your help you are a star 😇

Thanks for your help

Hi folks Could someone please explain in plain English that what does that +90 means? Does that bolt needs to turn further 90 degrees manually? Or that 27mm bolt needs to be tightened to 80 Nm first then once again tighten to 90 Nm? Thanks

Hi Folks I am new to this, could someone please explain is similar language what does +90 means. I did torque it to 80nm with a torque wrench but not sure about this +90 means. Does that mean after 80nm torque, that 27mm bolt needs to be tightened further turn to 90degree? I have done about 100...

Hi mate my 300tdi is making the whining noise on heavy load or high rev too. Recently I have renewed the Manifold gasket and pulled the turbo slight off without taking off the exhaust, maybe it might have disturbed its seal. Do you have any pictures about that flang you are talking about?

Hi I think it was the 2.5td diesel engine
