Fantastic, thank you for the information and suggestions. Sounds like a pretty good place to start! Any difficulties or fiddly bits that I need to be aware of when swapping out the transfer box, new gaskets etc?

Hah you're not wrong there! Not to mention it's terrifying 😂😂

Hah! Yes, it is quite hilly in that neck of the woods! Would there be much of a change on flat roads changing to the 1.4? Thanks Phill!

Woah, lots of info! Love it! Correct, good memory! You've already figured the broader picture here, I didn't want to overload info in my original post, but you've twigged. So I am looking at downgrading my tyres to a smaller size A/T, currently I have Mud terrains. Along with that I have...

Interesting... Would this work on a short bell housing?

Ah, so a bit of work required for that then. Which is fine just trying to weigh up my options. Currently I have a short bell housing mated to a discovery 200tdi, LT77 and LT230 all these parts were on my defender before I bought it, everything suggests it's been taken from a D1. What I meant...

Hi all, I have a LT77 gearbox and LT230 transfer from a Discovery 1 which has become so loud that I can't bare it any longer. I have the option to put an R380 box and LT230 in for free, what would I need to change mount wise to make it fit? I'm also a bit skeptical as I don't know if I...

Good evening all, I currently have some BF Goodrich -285 75 R16 - KM2's - mud terrains on my defender 90 (discovery 1 axles). It appears that BF Goodrich don't sell these anymore which is quite gutting, they have lasted a very long time and are now starting to crack. BFG only seem to offer...

Brill, thanks guys! Blue, what parts would I need to do this, and would you do it at the rubber neck?

Good afternoon! Just a quick question about Diesel heaters and fueling, If I was to plumb directly into the fuel tank, would I need to put in a 12v inline pickup? I will be having the diesel heater under my cubby box (land rover 90). Thanks all!

Good afternoon everyone, I have a Land Rover 90 which I'm looking to install a diesel heater in. I was wondering what setup everyone is running and if I could remove the old heater matrix and put the diesel heater there instead, using the existing ducts. Has anyone tried this? Thank you!

So the official government stance on tax and MOT exemption is as follows: "You can apply to stop paying for vehicle tax from 1 April 2024 if your vehicle was built before 1 January 1984. You must tax your vehicle even if you do not have to pay." Now does this mean that anything after 1984...

Hi all, Not sure what part I need, might be overthinking it. The doors on my landy have never really fit correctly on aftermarket door seals- so I'm going to try OEM. trouble is- I have changed the doors from the old split doors to the more modern one piece. Which one should part should I be...

Hi Lynall, So the symptoms I had before I reset the pump was a bumpy idle, and I had to put my foot down to clear it in the mornings- I had to adjust the idle cable to get it to run faster which was a temporary fix for the bumpy idle. What I'm baffled with is why would it suddenly decide to...

Hi guys, just reporting back on this- just in case somebody else runs into similar problems and finds this thread. Everything logically should have meant the clutch was working fine after carrying out all the above jobs... But it didn't... After resetting the clutch, bleeding it and all the...

Good morning all, I have recently changed the timing belt on my 200 TDI, during which I did a reset of the pump which appeared to be advanced a few teeth (lined up with the flywheel etc). I had fueling problems prior to this (bumpy idle) but this problem seemed to be resolved once I reset the...

Good afternoon, Just a quick question regarding the slave cylinder push rod, or pin : When I push the slave cylinder on to the push rod it needs force to push it on, the rod pushes the piston back in the slave, by quite a way so in a sense, there is constant pressure there. Is this correct...

Thanks Sierra, Might sound like a dumb question, but I took the pipe off the back of the slave cylinder expecting the reservoir to empty but it's still full... Is there a drain plug that I'm missing somewhere? Thank you!

Good evening everyone. The clutch on my Discovery 2 1999 has failed- about a year ago I had a Roadspec LOF clutch fitted, by a garage and ever since then it has been slipping when I really put my foot down. Now it has completely stopped working, put the clutch down, nothing happens but...

Thanks guys, appreciate the help! I managed to get it all back in and sorted, you were correct Dag, lots of swearing but fortunately no splitting of said box! in the end I put some masking tape over the shaft so that the plastic clip couldn't move back up the shaft, then I put a 10mm deep...
