    Sm Starter battery is fine but sniffing around the leisure has uncovered the culprit. Only 5 months old. Split charge setup delivering 14.74 v into it. Is that too high?

    Is it just the gas from the manifold or is something blocked? I ask because how come it doesn't smell like that at the back end? It's a straight through pipe

    Defender 110 200tdi strong egg/gas smell

    This started a couple of weeks ago. I need to put a bulkhead on her as there's plenty of holes in the bulkhead. Consequently if I gas it heavily I can smell exhaust which is why I'm thinking this is the culprit for this new smell. I gotta say it's like a really special lingering meat fart...

    Great thank you. Will the tunnel not need adjusting?

    So when I loft the clutch slightly the rattle does go away.

    A question of gearboxes

    So rebuild the lt77 or sell a kidney for a stumpy?

    Thanks pal, yes the cross drill gear is what I was thinking about. Yes I've checked the mesh and magnet checked what came out, not too bad apart from 1 little bit of metal. I'll try and attach the photo.

    Hi Guys, 1991 Defenderc110 200tdi with Lt77 gearbox. I've got a chatter in any gear when a depress the clutch. When shifting down this happens mainly and 3rd is by far the trickiest to find or loudest chatter, again mainly when shifting down. I can be sat at a roundabout in 2nd with clutch...

    Disco block in a Defender 200tdi oil capacity

    Would changing the bottom block also mean swapping the sump got the original Disco sump?

    110 200tdi Bulkhead swap

    110 200tdi Bulkhead swap. Putting in a galved donor in good condition. Any tips on issues to look for and especially anything to improve on (sound deadening etc) would be really appreciated. I'm planning on painting it off the vehicle (Epsom Green) budget allowing. Tia

    The belt belt I use now is AV10x1050. Much bigger than the original 10x1025.

    Disco block in a Defender 200tdi oil capacity

    Right so I had a Disco 200tdi bottom block transplanted in to my otherwise defender 200tdi. All ancillaries and water pump etc taken from the original defender engine and put on the new block. Now the book says a defender 200tdi takes 6.85ltrs of oil and a Disco 200tdi takes 5.8 ltrs how much...
