Hi folks Thanks for your precious time. I have replaced this cap without removing manifold. I knocked the old one out carefully with a 36inch long crow bar without damaging the Engine block edges. This new cap’s steel is slightly thicker may be 1-2 mm and depth is also couple of mm bigger. I...

I will try to replace it, bit scared hope that won’t drop into the Engine. I think someone already applied some sort of putty on it instead of replacing the cap. May be I could smear it with some TRV

I have just watched a video on YouTube for replacement. I have just renewed the manifold gasket and P Gasket and Red coolant. It’s seems like I have to remove everything again OMG. Can I reuse the Coolant if I manage to drain it slowly and use a filte to put it back in again. Or could that core...

Hi thanks for your reply, it has some space but not enough. Could you please provide any instructions how to replace these core plugs or refer to any manual?

Hi yes it’s pre Tdi model. It only has one position to switch on the ignition then on the further turn it starts the engine. Please advise what would the best way forward

Hi frinds P gasket was leaking on my 300Tdi conversion. Which replaced around couple of weeks ago. I noticed some coolant leak again and thought P Gasket is still leaking then I replaced the P Gasket again with TRV this time. Today I have noticed that coolant is leaking again. I inspected under...

Hi I did switched on the ignition and Battery’s red light illuminate on the dashboard. Sorry I don’t know what does mean by spring resistance. But Glow plugs ligh doesn’t come on. Does that mean it didn’t had any glow plugs replay at first place?

Hi Folks I need your help please on my Defender 90 with 300tdi conversion done by previous owner. Engine starts up without any issue but exhaust emit lots of smoke on start up only. I thought to check up the glow plugs power. When I switch on the ignition, glow plugs light doesn’t illuminate...

I get your point, thanks for advise. 😂

Is it something works like this? Please check

Hi all, I’m just wondering if anyone has used Swepco 201 diff/multipurpose oil from Winchesters?

Thanks for your help. Some reason when I move it to the Diff lock position then it takes around half a minute to illustrate the Diff light and to engage. Is it supposed to be like this?

Sorry I think I have figured it out. If I move the small stick to the left if engage the Diff lock and it drives without the rear prop shaft and light illuminate on the dash board. So does that mean small stick positions to the Right and back only drives rear wheels?

Hi thanks for your reply, sorry I can’t understand being daft. Small gearstick is in Right then rear position, then I can see rear TB shaft is spinning but it doesn’t drive and front prop shaft is not spinning. Is there’s anyway I could just make it to drive front wheels only? What would be...

Hi I don’t know how diff lock lever work. I have removed rear Prop shaft to see if it makes any clunk/judder or not. Please explain in detail how to engage/disengage diff lock and how high low diff works?

I will try this and come back to you. Does these has to be done while driving or Defender on axel stands. Sorry I have no clue

Sorry I have no idea about all of this, I will read Haynes manual or to find it out on YouTube

Sorry I don’t know how to use the Diff and never tried it. I’ve advised by the previous owner not to mess around with Diff stick unless I want to pull down a building. I have just moved the Diff lock stick to left and right like we check the gearbox stick to check for neutral.

Hi Lynall thanks for your advice. My defender has a 300tdi conversion so engine has fitted very close to the bulkhead

Hi everyone I have moved the Diff shifter to left right to make sure it’s in neutral and magically the judder in reverse has gone. Does anyone have any idea why did that happened at the first place?
