No you are almost right. Approximately 5-10 mins after the run, it was solid just above the minimum mark, though the dip stick was splattered. I dipped it 3 times. Then later when the engine was completely cold, I dipped it two more times and it sat just under the max mark.

Gutted for you mate. Have you posted on Facebook and Twitter and location.

I really appreciate this thank you. Can you PM me your address and Ill organise a courier - It will be after the weekend if that’s okay I are at a funeral on Monday.. Do you have any recommendations on who would be best to use as a courier? Don’t worry if not I’ll sort something. Again many thanks

Thanks nobber

Just a quick question, when testing the oil pressure, what’s the best method? I was planning to first record the pressure immediately after startup and the 10 minutes later once the engine has warmed up. When I remove the oil switch, I’m assuming I won’t loose too much oil as the engine will...

nobber I ordered a pressure testing kit anyhow as I thought it would be a useful addition to my toolbox. The last thing I want is for the engine to bugger up. I’ve no means to remove the engine and strip it down. Everything I do on it, is done with the engine in situ.

That’s really good of you, thanks mate!

Hi Payydg, that’s great, thank you. Do you have any pics? If you pm me your address and I’ll organise a courier

I’m looking for a dog guard to partition the rear tub from the front. My tractor is Defender 300TDI 90. Must be reasonably priced lol

I’m looking for the following parts for my trusty old Defender 90. (Well I use the term trusty very loosely!!!) Adjustable tow-bar. Rear ladder Rear folding forward facing seat External air vent facia plate If anyone has any of these would be grateful if you could pm me some details inc price...

Any photos? I could be interested if the price is right.

What’s A..? I was rather hoping it would be the engine as there was no loss in performance.

I never realised that the switch could cause so much mess. Though it stands to reason when the engine is running and fully pressurised! Well if it’s only a faulty switch I will be delighted

I hope you’re right, that would be a nice quick fix lol

fuel wise I would’ve expected consistent poor performance. It’s always got more and appears responsive to accelerator input. The loss of speed I was thinking was maybe down to poor valve settings, well I was hoping so!! Switch wise, I’ve ordered a new one, so I will test both. I must say...

I drove my Defender (300TDI) 45 miles (90 miles total) for the first time on Friday and then Sunday for the first time in about 7 month. As always, it starts first time on the initial turn of the key. It drove lovely on both journeys averaging around 55/60 Mph on the motorway, though could go...

Yeah I referred to that earlier on in the thread. I’m just stumped

Had to postpone MOT for tomorrow. 100% out of ideas. Runing a new cable from front indicator should work as a quick fix??

Yup, still same symptoms- just won’t work

Does anyone know what the voltage should be reading when the indicator is switched on.?
