is it a Dixon fabrication or .... the 2nd company escapes me but I will look for it on fb again something like venom

mine only likes the expansion tank full too

sorry for the poor spelling in the previous post I was in a meeting typing with my phone hidden costs I was bored to tears!!

Mine did the same with the handbrake. It was the cap on the expansion as mentioned and then a dodgy/stickig switch on the handbrake. Disconnecting the handbrake wire solved it to test. A bit of electrical cleaner and its been fine since

I think I followed you guys up the white rocks and cut off a different way and then we were passed by you all in glen ceriog when we were parked up. I think you had some young kids who were out of the discovery when i turned up. At 1st I thought you guys were stuck. did the 3 90s follow a...

I've got a brand new fan in mine, it's good for a defender but no where near as good as say the wifes disco 3 on full chat. With the bilge blower in series with the normal fan it's up there

it's probably because I've also got a bilge blower in the inlet to my heater. It makes it blow like a normal car but over cools the motor with it off it keeps its temperature but the fan is feeble.

I fit tyres at my mates garage, I run 33's on 15s fine with the weights inboard so you can't see them. I'm right at the limit for my gearing, wheel balance etc and wouldn't go bigger. We tried the beads, but do they didn't last. If you hit something hard you get the wheel wobble from hell till...

I use a radiator muff/wadding blanket and leave the fan on. I cover the full grill and intercooler but leave about the bottom 5th exposed. The viscous fan still drags a fair amount of air through if needed (which it hasn't at Temps of up to 8 deg) I do 50 miles a day of town/a road and...

I've got the same question, did it fit?

I'd do the washers again and make sure they are spotlessly clean. Mine leaked on injector 4 after doing the seals the 1st time. The cause was a very small bit of carbon that I had missed which got under the washer and made a load of indents in the copper washer from compressing against the...

ditto the pump thing... My td5 is on its 3rd. But my 1st two were destroyed by knackered injector seals (common problem) but mine needed the fuel purge sequence to see start. When my starter was dead though it would turn over fine but would never start. It turned out it was upsetting the crank...

I did as above, but ive also fitted a bilge blower into the inlet of the original heater and run the two in series and it's miles better. I've used silver foil tape to seal up gaps and any ones anywhere else got a helping hand with expanding foam. Mine is great now

I think I've just been lucky. I usually avoid britpart if possible, but sometimes I've had no choice due to them being all I could get my hands on. As a rule if a britpart has a G at the end of the part number it's oem and will be fine. I've done nearly 30k in mine with some britpart buys and...

I must be the luckiest person in the world. I usually try not to buy britpart, but if needs must as I use the landy every day and sometimes have to fix it there and then, and I that case I will use them. However in nearly 30k miles I've not had any single britpart ive had to fit fail on me.

my 1st guess would be injector seals

does the sliding window stop that horrible cold draft by your knees that the normal defender window does when cracked slightly?? I like driving with the window cracked but can't stand the draft on my right knee. So much so I was thinking about some kind of wind deflector

a big gain is to be had by sealing as many drafts as possible, adjusting the heater to the best it can be and insulating the landy as best as possible. I have done all the above to mine and the difference is vast

if you do need one, order the air bleed valve and take the inside bit out. I had to do the same after finding a crack in mine

thanks James. Just as you replied I managed it. I used lock wire to hold the arm in place and using the tool I'd made I was able to refit it
