    Project value?

    For various reasons / excuses(!) my 1992 Defender has been off the road for some time. I’m considering selling but value opinions on what it might be worth. It already has a galvanised chassis and good solid bulkhead, and was running fine albeit with a leaky transfer box and 200k+ miles. I...

    Freelander 2 clutch slip

    Is there any reason the clutch would slip apart from wear? I saw something about auto adjusters sticking on the piston heads site but can’t find it anywhere else. The clutch was new about this time last year.

    OBD reader stuck in port

    I’ve just reprogrammed a spare key with an Autel AP200 reader, but it’s very difficult to remove from the port. Am I right in thinking it should just pull out or is there a tab to press or something else I’m missing? It worked fine for the key, by the way!

    Freelander 2 oil light

    Since I changed my oil and filter the oil pressure warning lamp comes on intermittently at idle. Any ideas why? It never did before and started as soon as I did the oil change a few weeks ago.

    Wiper boxes- wrong ones?

    I’ve been replacing the wiper boxes on my 1992 Defender. Both new and old wheel boxes have a circular shaft, but the hole in the bulkhead is flat top & bottom (see photo), which stops the shaft going through. The shaft on the later td5 boxes is flat top & bottom. Since the bulkhead was replaced...

    Stuck!

    Not looking for a rescue, just some ideas before recovery arrives. Freelander 2, seemed to lose pressure at the clutch pedal then engine cut out when I stopped. Tried starting again, dash lights up when I press start button but doesn't turn over. HDC fault warning came up for a second when it...

    Towing problem

    I have a problem with towing our caravan, which is old and has a lower tow hitch than new vans. It was fine with the old car but the Freelander towbar is high, tips the caravan backwards, and it snakes on the road. Apparently it’s illegal to fit a drop plate on a towbar unless it’s been tested...

    Disco alloys

    Open to reasonable offers before I stick them on the bay, 5 Discovery 1 alloys. These were on my Defender when I bought it but I changed to steels cos I don't like using spacers. Oh yes, one still has a tyre but it's crap! Collection from Ayrshire or I can drop them off, but not for a week or two.

    "Icon" Defender

    Does anyone know anything about "Icon" Defenders? I was driving behind one today, and the only info I can find online is that they're from a tuning company in Los Angeles, and very expensive, like $300,000 expensive! It wasn't much different from standard to look at apart from the Masai type...

    Which alternator?

    Anyone know which alternator fits my Defender 200Tdi, with Lucas type 3 spade connector plug? Looking online there seem to be other fittings and suppliers all have a photo of the front of the alternator!

    Battery woes

    My 200Tdi Defender has been having trouble starting in this cold weather. It would start OK as long as the radio & the heater were switched off, but sluggish if anything was on. This morning it failed to start after being unused since Friday. It charges up OK and starts better with a full...

    Running on one propshaft

    I need a new rear propshaft but won't be able to fit it until next weekend. I know I can drive on the front only with the diff lock, but is it OK to do that for a week, ie 5 trips to work, 17 miles each way, up to 60mph?

    Alternator question

    As my battery was going flat, I suspected the alternator. My voltmeter said it was charging at 12.0v, so I bought a new, upgraded 70 amp one. Then I discovered it has different connections. I don't have time to change it tonight, so I plugged the old one back in.I checked with the voltmeter...

    Buying high mileage Freelander 2?

    After years of Defender & Series ownership I'm actually thinking about buying a Freelander 2. My budget is about £6000. Everything I've seen for that price have over 100,000 miles on the clock, so is this a bad idea? What problems can I expect over that mileage?
