    Defender weird humming chirping noise at the back Wheel

    We’ve been doing some work on my 90 CSW and it involved taking the two front wheels off. We didn’t at all touch the rear wheels, but since finishing the work and putting wheels on this sound has appeared at the back end or so it sounds like. The drivers side rear wheel seems to make a...

    Does my clutch have too much free play? 90 300 TDI CSW

    Is there any kind of video or guide in regards what to adjust? I did grease inside a small box below the master cylinder about six months back or so as the clutch had a horrendous squeak and since then it’s been silent. Wonder if the grease has maybe loosened it up a little bit too much?

    Does my clutch have too much free play? 90 300 TDI CSW

    Maybe I’m just being paranoid, Defender never really struggles getting in gear and the clutch isn’t slipping or anything, my gear change is perfectly normal But it seems the free play at the start of the clutch is a bit excessive maybe?? It’s only something I’ve recently picked up on. I’ve...

    300 TDI LED dash upgrade

    Few pics of During and after my recent install to LED. someone did say however that pretty much all the T10 LEDS other than a brand called OSRAM are a basically all major fire risk? I don’t know if they were just being overly pedantic or not. Just wondered if anyone could shed any light? Not...

    1999 300 TDI 90 CSW what does the 5 amp fuse in slot 20 do?

    sorry it was the main alarm control unit in the dash behind the binnacle, they are often a main failure point can suffer corrosion and poor quality from manufacture. mate of mine is a qualified auto electrician and sorted it though, alarm back now all working. was just a dodgy alarm box.

    That price was from a specalist garage it included roof off from the vehicle, removal of both cappings, replacing both with galvanised ones and then respraying blending to match my Rioja red paint. I understand its a large job and appreciate the time involved, but its a lot. I’ll just get my...

    Rust Treating advice

    Thanks both, it’s going to cost about £2.5 to £3k for full on replacements of both body caps. I also don’t have the time or resources to replace the cappings yet with my dad. This would’ve been something we’d have looked at doing ourselves if he was in better health, but unfortunately he has a...

    Rust Treating advice

    So the steel body capping on driver side has a bit of a leaky seal and has got some surface rusting from the inside out. Being a CSW this rust was pretty much all hidden under the plastic trim on the rear. There was a little bit of surfacing rusting near driver side door pillar of the capping...

    1999 300 TDI 90 CSW what does the 5 amp fuse in slot 20 do?

    Is this that green box? I can see it when I remove the speaker from the drivers side and look inside the opening. I know I have a spider in a black tamper proof box in the battery bay which is to do with the immobiliser.

    1999 300 TDI 90 CSW what does the 5 amp fuse in slot 20 do?

    So had a bit of an “incident” on Monday with my 300 TDI when out in Peak District. Driving along and the little red light on the dash for the immobiliser started blinking which it has never done before, as if it was activated, but I was actually driving along. When coming to a stop and turning...
