I Think if it's been cranking normally but just not firing shouldn't be belt related at least hope not!

yep - straight 12v feed Know on the fenders they do fail, the terminals can corrode and the plunger gets sticky Afraid my knowledge doesn't stretch to other makes

to stop that quickly (rather than coughing and spluttering) makes me think eiher: a) stop solonoid (assume the Isuzu has one) or b) electrical/engine management system related

Was a threadd on here - might have been last week Someone was going to do a write up

Craddocks have a cheaper option, but can guess the make! FRC4799 - Propshaft Front 110 V8 up to Vin No 252257 4 Speed Gearbox LR Series have a Bearmach one http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listing/20522/FRC8388-PROPSHAFT-ASSY-FRONT.html?search=FRC4799&page=1

Can't see why not

Happy to help Different fluids again for later 6 speed gearbox - just to add to the fun!

Can use GL4 or GL5 in diffs If you google defender gl4 or gl5 you'll find multiple opinions on whetehr GL5 does or does not harm brass components There is brass in transfer box, not in the diffs I've always played safe and just used GL4, but others seem to have used GL5 with no ill effect

For the diffs yes Transfer box I think prefers GL4 - something to do with GL5 being unkind to the brass bits in the transfer box

Yep - should be fine on that

Model years usually start earlier than the actual year
