Thanks doc, I'll bear that in mind. How tricky are they to replace?

Thanks for the swift responses chaps! Haven't investigated too much yet as it's gone dark. I do know the front drive shafts and flanges are pretty good- not sure about the rears. The clonking is pretty consistent though which makes me think it's something central. If it was just the fronts or...

Hi All, Vehicle is a 'fender with a 3.9v8. As above (yes, I have searched- please help). Symptoms feel very much like a knackered UJ- LOADS of play in the drivetrain (shunting and clonking) at low throttle load (EG pottering about at 30mph), but I recently replaced both props and all...

Cheers both. I've definitely got the right gear in then. The speedo has always been optimistic. I guess it'll at least stop me from losing my license! I'm reluctant to change the speedo as it's the original one for the vehicle and i like that fact. I might let it be, but install a gps speedo...

Hi All, i have searched, but no luck. Vehicle is a defender 110 with Disco 3.9 v8 and the transfer box from a 200tdi disco. Recently replaced the speedo gear in the transfer box as the other fell apart (three sides fell of the square peg hole). Took some advice from a local garage that said...

Hi Ben. i've got an LT77, but has a slightly longer shaft as it's from a V8- maybe you could swap the shafts over? It's currently located in Stockton on Tees. Yours for £70.

Hi animal. Well, They're ATs, so designed for both off and on-road. I've taken them on very much pay and play sites and never been stuck. They've also completed the 'red route' off-road courses at land rover shows, without any issue. I went from Mud Terrains to these, and was really impressed...

Right- the Disco gearbox and the LT85 have both gone to new homes. who wants the other defender box? Reverse is next to 1st so think it's an LT77. taken from a V8 so has long shaft, and comes with Bellhousing. Is in good condition though. £120

Forgot to mention, the wheels will come with a brand new genuine set of alloy wheel-nuts. Make me an offer!

Thanks Chaps- some interesting points. I did manage to test the EFI system by being methodical and Careful, and writing it all down. After testing the loom and the sensors, all seemed to be working absolutely fine. But i did stumble across a fuel pump relay that really badly corroded. I replaced...

Hi Animal, here is a link to the tread pattern- i'll get proper photos up once i get the truck back from the garage. Continental CrossContact AT 235/85 R16 120S C M+S Normal Tyre - www.tyre-universe.co.uk Alloys style here, but painted black: http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID009990

For sale: 4 Part used 235/85 16 Continental Cross Contact AT tyres with Loads of tread on them (brilliant tyres these), on Black painted 5 spoke Disco Alloy wheels. Dunno what they're worth- make me an offer (need the money to fund repairs to my cantankerous V8)

Forgot to mention- i also have a spare LT85 that needs a rebuild (noisy layshaft bearings)- make me an offer!

Hi All, I have a couple of gearboxes for sale: Disco LT77 gearbox (a late one, so good strong box). 130k and good condition. Taken from a v8, includes bell housing. Defender gearbox: Not sure if it's an LT77 or R380: taken from a V8 so has long shaft, and comes with Bellhousing. Box is...

Thanks Kev, I've changed the engine ECU so i know it's not that. I did ask a garage to diagnose it with their fault reader, but they couldn't get any diagnostics to work. so i'm back to square one. Going round in circles is exactly what it feels like! I tested all the sensors with the old ecu...

Update: I haven't yet had chance to spend much time on the engine as i've just replaced the gearbox, transfer box, props, handbrake etc etc etc. So i've yet to check the resistance at each end of the loom. I also intend to check the resistance on the EFI sensors- any tips welcome!!! I'm...

Actually, I may have found what i'm looking for. It seems just the act of asking has brought the answer!

Hi all, I have searched this, but can't find an answer anywhere...hope you geniuses can help. I recently put a disco transfer box on my 110. But my original prop won't fit. Do you know which one i need? The vehicle is originally a 200tdi, and the Transfer bo is off a disco V8 (late LT77...

I did something similar. My 200tdi hit 200k and the turbo went (along with other stuff) and i needed a petrol to get into London. I put in a low mileage 3.9v8 from a disco with an LT85. It was amazing!!! for 5000miles, then something weird happened electricly and now it wont run right...
