Good news in my opinion. I find giving two cycles to prime the pump does make a difference

I too have a death wobble but at very strange timing. I got my front tires replaced and balanced due to a snapped tire wire. I kept the tire that had a snapped wire on for about 6 months. Very hard to find defender tires where I am based. However, sorted out my steering wheel wobble. Before...

Most likely need to clear the fault. Find a diagnostics tool specific to defenders and clear the code

Very Interesting, I was going to drop it at 200,000km to give it a flush. I will note this and check when I do so. It is a very aggressive overfill, as if the diesel is boiling in the tank. I was thinking maybe a piece of the snapped old breather hose may be blocking the valve. Not sure how...

My fuel pump will overflow even when not fully filled when I fill the truck up, I did the breather hose 3 months ago. I heard of a one way pressure relief valve being in the fuel tank to let the tank breathe. I started it up a third time today no noise but now I have half a tank. Could it be...

What do you mean by Air Filter "Trunking"? The air filter itself?

Thank you Brown, I appreciate the response. I started her up twice this morning, no noise, as if it was idling at operating temp. Glow plugs, I did do the plugs two months ago, beru. The connecters snapped so I put the pieces together and heat shrink them. I don't think a bad connection would...

Yes, I too played it on my phone speaker sounds normal because how loud the engine is in general With headphones or earbuds you will definitely hear it. At the 12 second the noise will stop

Thank you :D

I am a geek for torque specs

Steel wheels

On my steel wheels I have 108nm, is this correct? Referencing HAYES

Anyone have a clue what this noise can be? No puff of smoke from the exhaust during start up or on acceleration, all plugs are dry, truck has 175,000km, oil level isn't rising from fuel, coolant reservoir has no oil or vice versa, normal blow-by, fuel filter was changed 2 weeks ago no...

Turns out the oil filter housing gasket, given the leak time to the sump gasket from ignition was 8 seconds, I canceled out the sump gasket. Cleaned and traced the drip. Turned the car on and took a look under given the leak was very calm (I don’t recommend doing this as you can can burn your...

Just changed my oil and spin off filter, the oil filter was tight to remove. Also replaced the sump washer as it was seeping oil out but barely. Gave it roughly 7ltrs of oil as per what the manual states and it started leaking oil but not aggressively. Tightened the oil filter, started and...
