Guys (I think) thanks for the information. Diagnosis is an art... and unfortunately I can't paint. Will look at the front end this weekend. The year is 97 defender 110 MOD. Originally had the 2.5 with the Lt77.

Thanks for the input. I replaced my transfer case and gearbox. before it Was banging (in rear end I think) when backing up. On the day I was driving to the shop to replace Gearbox and TC the front wheel locked up and skidded on the road. Backed up and it unlocked. Would this be a Front diff...

While changing gearbox and transfer case noticed extreme play in my front diff. Driveshaft rotates like 25 degrees. Cause? Solution?

Even though this thread is old, I will put my opinion because I had a similar situation. I bought a used 300tdi and put it in my defender. Very shortly after getting it in and running the FiP started leaking. Rather than going for a rebuild my friend and I replaced the O ring on the (Throttle...

There is no such thing as to clean fuel, for a diesel... Is there not one on your firewall?

Timing belt cover bolts are different lengths. As mentioned in another thread. Use cardboard to locate position of bolts, going from top clockwise etc.

Of all the info I read, there are two timing lines on the flywheel, got the correct one. I just did my timing belt and the kit i bought has a spring loaded pin that screws in, someone closer than me must be able to lend it to you. Try Paddocks. if cant borrow one.

Locktite?

Don't know bars from windows, but my 300tdi with a boost gauge reads about 5psi normally at a medium idle and maxes out at about 13-15 psi.

My 300 tdi starts so fast you can't really hear the starter. That said if u have replaced the battery and it is still hard to start but cranking quickly, it must be as stated possible air leak, suggesting lack of fuel getting to the cylinders, or injectors not working properly either. The valves...

What Landrover seats will fit into a defender 110 pickup?

Just tested mine for the first time. Replaced 2.5N/A with 300 tdi. with Lt77 transmission. was pleased to see 28.5 MPG. Mixed driving little on highway driving. Most in town or short trips on the Highway at 90km/ph and slow off-roading. 110 pickup.

It could also be the cable is not secure in the clip that pinches the cable....meaning cable moves instead of heater control lever.

Could it be your locking your central differential and its binding because you are on pavement?

Alibi Club....agree to lie to protect the innocent...F*** the criminals.

I felt uncomfortable without having a "real fan" initially but as I said it works as advertised. My old 2.5N/A d had overheating problems as the viscous fan failed, and went back to normal when replaced. I monitor the temperature constantly and have only had one spike, which I traced to low...

swapped 2.5 diesel N/A for 300tdi with the help of a Steve Parker kit....Different vehicle to drive. Can now pass Semis on the hills, not vice versa.

Go to Steve Parkers Website....used one of his kits for a 300tdi to replace 2.5 and it was well worth the money.

A ten dollar old school oiling can a foot of tube and your off.....

Thanks For Video will show it to my students who laugh at my Defender 110.
