Just being a curious George and I don't think anyone else has posted anything like this. what has been the most annoying thing you have had to fix that has broken or needed sorting on your Land Rover? Need it be a Series, Defender..ect Atm the most annoying thing was the core plug as my...

Goddamit you are good at problems! went for a drive out onto the field and she would idle without stalling with the handbreak on, 5th gear and clutch out. Is it a do it yourself job to replace the clutch plate or is it garage time? Thanks Landowner! :D

Nice! Tell me if it works? :D Well today I replaced the air feed hose as that looked quite bad, and also replaced a core plug that was worse for wear and at first she could have out ran a punto but I got onto a 50mph long hill and none of the gears worked she would rev hard and no amount of...

Yeah trying to reverse it off my drive is a nightmare and have to get someone to give it a good push but once a slow start she runs fine until a hill, well my pipes SEEM fine but there could be a hidden crack, which I'll see by taking them off and running water through them. Thanks Bustersbus...

Intercooler hoses looks in good shape, air in the fuel line sounds promising but wouldn't she be sluggish and spluttering during normal driving? Ah forgot about the fuel filter I'll check that. Nope just colourless smoke on startup then goes after the engine has woken up. Thanks Angelo Damato...

I was driving me 300tdi Defender today and she was driving fine on downward slopes and flat roads but any hills and she wouldn't put past 30mph any gear just sluggish power output, the hill was just a casual slope. Thanks for any help, just doing my head in holding thousands of cars up flashing...

Ah thanks James so no size to them then? just a part no. Ok i'll try find the right one with that no. Thanks again. EDIT: Oh 53mm ok thats good thankyou.

Hello. The rear core plug on my 300tdi Defender is fecked, I was wondering the size of the rear core plug as I tried all kinds of sites and can't find the size of them. Thankyou! Oh yeah forgot there was two, its the bottom one NOT the top one if they are diffrent sizes.

all the Land rovers and other things he has stole and sold and he only gets 21 months! I would love to see him hanging from a rope to be perfectly honest, prison is too high of class for him.

Checked rad, looks to be in good order, I think it has been replaced because it looks new. Well I had a good check round and still complexed all the cooling hoses are dry meaning no leaks, checked the heater feed hose and thats fine, had a good look down and the top of the gear box is soked in...

Ah, well now, that is interesting. Thanks Blue Beasty. I don't know how to look round the back of the block though? :(

Well the anti freeze is dropping behind the block not on the side, but good thought, I should've checked the core plugs, I'll do that tommorow when I got some light.

I will try this, just how the leaking is coming from the back of the engine, is troubling, I am starting to think it may be a cracked heater pipe.

You are joking there are loads on here. You telling me nobody anywhere has said. Have you checked for oil in your coolant or water in your oil? checked no bubbles of water on the oil cap and the coolant didn't have any white blobs or anything. Have you recently changed the coolant? Yup, put...

I think the head gasket has gone, had a better look when I got home and noticed the oil coming from what looks to be the rocker cover.

I have a problem where I was going for a long run in the Defender and it started to smell of heating anti freeze, so I pulled over opened the bonnet and it was steaming a bit, dripping what looked to be anti freeze but I couldn't tell, the temp gauge was reading a bit beyond half way. Love some...

Funny, I read that without needing to think. Must be the Manx in me! Right time to look at the rest of te' site yessir.

Haha thanks Landy I shall enjoy my stay at the mad house!

Hi I am Adam, I am 17 live in the Isle of Man and been interested in Land Rover Defenders since I was a wee boy. Just yesterday bought myself a Land Rover Defender 90 300TDI hard top with massive mud tyres, uprated turbo and changed suspension and shocks. I love driving her everywhere and named...
