    Shuddering and Shaking Disco

    :( Find someone with testbook then find £500 and have the faulty injector replaced. On start up the fuel is a rich mixture - this hides the fact that one of the injectors isn't delivering fuel. You may also find that the MAF sensor is burn't out, however this won't cause the shuddering, as...

    M.p.g.

    It was a nice vehicle but I preferred the look of a defender, 12 seats is a bonus with having young kids their mates etc etc. So I sold it and changed for my 110 when I moved job & house. Now I drive a company car for most journeys and use the 110 for fun - only did just over 3k miles last year

    Help a nooby pick a landy

    Central Difflock is standard on a defender, this locks the drive to front & rear axles, this doesn't guarantee that you will have traction as each axle can have 1 spinning wheel. Locking diffs are an aftermarket add on, these lock the drive across the axle, and guarantee equal drive to each...

    Yup but 280 barmen could be supplemented for the council peeps, as this would be classed as a return of faulty goods :)

    Crunching 2nd gear and no heat

    a/. It's a gearbox overhaul - so a major job. b/. Assuming that you have checked the fluid level and bled any air out of the clutch hydraulics, you could try replacing the clutch slave & master cylinders. If these are not working properly this will highlight any synchro issues - 1&2 on the...

    Defender 90 questions

    For fuel economy & reduced engine noise it's potentially worth having the discovery high range transfer gear fitted for extended motorway travel. Sound proofing for the floor & lower bulkhead is another thing to consider, this makes longer journeys more pleasant

    90 handbrake Problems

    They can be bent by bashing onto rocks - or more likely lifting with a trolley jack. If you've tried all the normal adjustments try having is skimmed in a lathe to remove any ovality.

    Then perhaps you'll realise the ID scare is also a bunch of chattering fools stirring themselves into a frenzy & boring the pants of the general population.

    seat belt regulations

    I understand that the driving licence changed and younger drivers need to pass an additional test to drive with more than 9 seats. I'll have to complain to Land Rover for not fitting an engine cut off switch, or fitting 3 point inertia belts, or a passenger aisle in my minibus. My insurance...

    My new Defender - pics

    Very very nice. Is there an issue with wheel spacers? I was thinking of putting some on my 110 to reduce the turning circle
