Hi, i rang around alot of private people selling landys and cheekily had conversations with some of them, just to get a good idea of what to buy and what to look for. I was told to check out a site called PistonHeads.com :: Speed Matters The people selling vehicles on there are mostly...

If i were you i would try a local car spares shop, i went to Halfrauds and priced up oils for gearbox, transferbox and engine oil with filter and it was nearly £100 more that the local car spares shop. Round by me we have places like SABER Autospares etc.... Good luck with the oil change, it...

I drive a 2003 Fiesta Black to and from work and on long journeys cuz the missus can't get in and out of the landy with her skirt on. At the weekend I love cruising round, up, through and over stuff in the 1991 Defender 90 200tdi. I love them all as much as each other including the missus. :D

Personally i think you should put your wipers on before you hit the puddle and floor it to create a splash like this........LOL :) :welcome2:

No i put ATF in it. But come to think of it you now have me thinking, i had that many bottles of oil. LOL

Hi Keith, i'm definatly up for that next sunday, could you let me know where and what time. Now i've changed the oils i'm ready for anything. I've got the wade kit on order. How did the service at Liveridge go or have you not had it done yet? Cheers Terra.

Hi Keith, did you make it to the off road track today? How was it, i spent the day at home changing the oils on the landy. Cheers Terra Dog.

Changed the oil's today, some of the nuts i had to undo were a bitch and seriously over tightened, and the only oil that was knackered was the tranfer box oil. It was like baileys, quite creamy. The gearbox oil did'nt drain out as much as i put back in. Weird! It was clear though. Cheers for...

Hi, I replaced the oil in my tranfer box, gear box and engine including filter. Took me two hours without jacking it up or using ramps. I was quoted £170 by the local landy dealer, it cost me £68 in oil. Chuffed with myself, some of the plugs were a bitch to get off mind, they were seriously...

Nice one Buster, i'll be giving it ago tomoz. Knowing my luck it'll rain.

Oh a half inch rachet with no socket on it will do the job, penny has just dropped. It's late.

The reason i need to know is because im goin to the local car parts shop in morning, don't wanna go to halfrauds.

No not on a wind up got let down today by a mobile mechanic so thought **** i'm avin ago myself tomoz.

I know lol, will get one tomoz, when you say a 1/2inch rachet is that a sqaure drive or socket? p.s i got you guys so why bother LOL

Hi, just a quick question, i am going to be changing the oil in my transfer box tomorro and was wondering what size square drive is needed for the filler hole plug? Its a 200tdi defender 1991??? Thanks Terra Dog :cool:

Theres too much to take in at the mo, i'll have to get a haynes manual, wil this show me all i need to look for?

My steering is temperemental, it almost judders to the speed of the enginge sometimes when stood still on tickover. When i go wading the power steering goes completly for a few minute till it dries out. Can one hand it round corners though when doing 5 - 10 mph when feeling lucky. But like steve...

So was i right?

So are there grease nipples which in turn let grease into the swivel bit? If so i'll grease the up when i change the oils?

Corr thats an awsome thread. I can't believe that expansion and contraction of the ball joint can let water into the axle, i take it that the axle oil lubricates the ball joint? Y -N?
