Can you take the cdl from another transfer box and transplant it into my own box that doesn`t have the internals ? Reason I ask is there is a transfer box out of a defender at work, but I'm not sure wether its the same as my R380 box. it has 1.222 ratio on the side and I can`t see any serial no...

When I replaced my fuel pump I disconnected the lines there . I don`t know if you can drop the tank far enough as the lines are plastic I would`nt risk pulling them too far. As for welding I`ve been cleaning & rust treating my chassis ready to put the recon box back. The only bit I have to patch...

Think Land Rover should`ve added a welder as part of the accessory options when buying lol. Just spent most of the weekend with mine up on home made ramps removing rust using salt remover, degreaser wire wheels and pressure washer and airline before getting the rust converter out. Mainly...

Don`t forget a 9/16 spanner and socket for the propshaft removal, as no doubt that will have to come off at some point. Dan

I tried it this way as when lowering it it still seemed to be hard to access, although to be fair I didnt remove the acoustic cover as it seemed a bit stuck so I went with that method and acces to those top bolts seemed to be worth the effort in removing the engine mounts. I just thought I`d...

If you do have a crack at it youself (only the second clutch i`ve done) it`s worth dropping out the engine mounts & lowering it to get easy access to the top bellhousing mounts. To make things even eaier I even took off the bonnet as it`s only x4 bolts and just gives you easier access along with...

Any recommendations for moderately priced kits ? looking on the bay item there is a kit that contains valeo flywheel Borg & beck clutch cover/plate/thrust bearing and OEM spigot bearing all for 380 posted

Think you’re right, just wondering wether to spend the £ or not. I didn’t actually find it too bad dropping the box and I have another vehicle to use whilst I do it. The two worst bits of the job were removing the x members (the first I had to cut off with the angle grinder as I did previously...

I know this will probably open up a can of worms, but should I replace the dmf along with the clutch ? A bit of background info. I had replaced the broken bias plate & springs etc late year & got nice smooth changes but my second gear synchro has needed replacing for a little while wich I put...

Quick update. I`ve got a spare abs ecu,so hopefully with help from sierrafery I can get it set up using Hawkeye.

If I had the funds I think I would lol, although I prefer the warnth of the disco to the defender I had after a day out fowling in the cold. Daniel.

Nope nothing happens at all when I press the ORM button. The suspension rises once car is started. Daniel

Right I`ve had chance to stick the key in and have a look. When I turn the key on all the dash test lights come on, then go out and the off road mode & sls re-appear, along with the handbrake,battery and oil lamp. Hope this helps, sierrafery if you like I can send you a 10 sec clip I took on my...

I will confirm 100% when I get home tonight, but from memory they are on & stay on as soon as the ignition is on and they don`t go out with the rest of the dash lights. I will again confirm that the 3 amigos light up & off with the ignition self test later. I have had the three amigos before so...

Neilly, those are the two lights I have illuminated. I just dont know why they are lit up when evrything else works as it should ? they stay on constantly & brianconwy I`m sure I`ve only ever heard the 3 audible beeps previously when the button has been pressed & it rises into orm? I will...

Hi I am having probs with my off road suspension not working. I have the sls light and off road light lit up on the dash. The off road mode does`nt ping when switch is pressed & I have tried another switch to no avail, checked the fuses & relay and their all good and also checked for continuity...

Well I found the no.1 on the shaft behind the pulley & the front slot that roughly lines up with tdc & rotated the crank back & forth till the timing pin dropped in the hole. Now how important is it that the cylinder heads drained of fuel ? as for the life of me I cant get the pipe off after...

Can someone help me with timing marks please. I`m doing my injector seals & following the d2 forum guide in wich they show 2 coloured links & say there are slots at the back of sprocket. I have the slot at the front of the sprocket & the 2 bronzey coloured links in 2 different places. Could it...

I use mackays in cambridge, as they can cut/fold/weld what you need & I think you get a good discount when you buy by the sheet or 6 metre length. regards, Dan

Those part numbers don`t seem to show the orange cone liked shape of the rubber type valve/diaphram I was referring to :confused:. I gave the parts shown up by those parts numbers a blow through with the compressor. Regard`s, Dan.
