Hi guys, I'm looking to install an additional battery in my defender to work as a secondary for turning the engine over and winching. I'm not exactly sure what the best way of doing this would be as I would be hooking them up in parallel positive to positive and negative to negative, leaving...

Hi guys, Looking to talk to someone who has modified their exhaust to get the nice whitsle and growl from their 200tdi. Currently I have a straight through centre pipe, with a muffler at the back. It barely sounds any different to when I had a centre silencer. If I take off the rear muffler...

Hmm... I'll try that as I've got a second hand one from a spare box.

Update: I've changed the ball and cup, it seems to be better but I'm now having to double clutch to get it into gear. I think I can rule out the selector as it is doing it in every gear, even if the vehicle is switched off. Release bearing?

Hi there, I have checked the alignment of the slickshift and it goes directly into 3rd and 4th with no sideways movement. In one of the images I've attached shows the selector with the ball and plastic cup. Although there is wear on the reverse gear side of the selector it seems in good...

Just a quick update... I have looked at the Slickshift today. All set in place absolutely fine. I did a trial of pumping the clutch repeatedly and then putting it into gear and it works. I have to pump the clutch 4/5 times and it will go in. Am I looking at slave and master cylinders?

Is it a possibility that the 1st and 2nd fork assembly has worn? If so, how do I gain access to change it?

I've ordered a second hand one and hopefully it's a bit better. I'll replace the cup and ball as standard. Thank you for your time, I really appreciate it!

Thank you so much for that, it's good to see the whole assembly. It appears that the issues with the selector although worn doesn't appear to be the culprit...

Thank you, so to confirm... The notches are not normal and shouldn't be there?

Hi guys, The Slickshift was installed before I purchased the vehicle, the stick has been welded because the truck has a body lift of 2". Thank you so much for your help! I had a play with it today and I ground the rough edge on the selector flat, this seemed to improve the gate but it still...

Hi everyone, I have been having issues getting into 1st gear intermittent. As if something is blocking the gear. Sometimes it will go in lovely and sometimes it won't. However if I lift slightly off the clutch it will go in to 1st every time. Other gears appear to be fine most of the time but...

Hi everyone, After stripping the turret down on my R380 Disco 2 box following problems getting into 1st, I decided to investigate the piece in the image attached. As you can see it's pretty worn and the ball has a lot of play in the cup. I want to replace the whole assembly but can't find the...

Perfect, thank you so much for your help. I think I'll put an order in with Winchester gears for a refurbished 22D T 1.410 Defender 4 Cyl bar 2.5Diesel Nat Asp.

Right I think I'm getting it So I'm better off with a 22D = 1.410 (all 4Cyl 90/110 bar above) How do I know what I.D relates to what ratio?

Thank you for your consideration but unfortunately I'm all the way in Devon ☹️

Boost pin + rings, Garrett turbo, full face intercooler. The only thing revving it's nuts off is the transfer box, makes a horrendous noise lol

So I'm after a 1.4 ratio std defender transfer box? Will the output shaft be ok for a short bell housing. And lastly what would the I.D be for one of them? Many thanks for your reply!

This is the I.D on the box

I think mines a Disco box, as I've got a disco 200 TDI and axles already, it will happily sit at 75 on the M5. How do I know which box is which? Thank you!
