    Rusty screws

    Hi All, when I got my defender I had a quick look under the carpets and saw that all the floorpan screws were very rusty.

    Sorry can't be of any further help. Been through microcat and checked the door assembly and the door card assemblies but can not find any other loose part at the top of the card. Good luck with the search

    90/110 pulling power

    Have to agree. Used to have 1996 300tdi disco, exchanged for 1997 300tdi 110 defender. Towing a horse trailer with 2 horses and the defender beats the disco hands down. Plus defender seems much more stable on the road.

    looks like a "scart" plug but what is it for?

    :D Ok all thanks for the advice. having searched around was already thinking of blanking the egr. Will remove the ecu and leave the connector hidden somewhere :-) There is one other thing under the seat which looks like small round tube with a rubber top and a couple of wires attached. Is this...

    looks like a "scart" plug but what is it for?

    Well my 300tdi also has one of these but I think it is associated with the egr ecu (which is also hiding under the middle seat. What is the best thing to do with these if I want to fit a cubby box? Can I just move them so they hide under the passenger seat or just hide them under the cubby box...

    300tdi 1997 coolant

    Ok next question from a very confused new owner. I need to top up the coolant in my 1997 defender. I have just spent a couple of hours trying to find out which coolant to use. Got some pink stuff from Halfords but on closer inspection it probably is not right, so I haven't added it. Looking in...
