Back on here after a long spell.....but anyhow, in Winsford, Cheshire. Been in the North West for about fifteen years but originally from Saarf London.

Clunking on the gear change sounds like the A frame ball joint. Here's a link to a nice chap that's changed one. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f41/frame-balljoint-renewal-110342.html

I had this on my Disco...I checked everything as I thought the alternator could'nt possibly make that noise, but it did!

Welcome Jonners!

Welcome Faze' :high5:

Hello and welcome..if you do go ahead with this project then I've still got some bits left over from my abandoned series 3 project if you need them!

Welcome Kev'.... brace yourself for some stick. Gaylander owners do attract some abuse!

Hello Dez...welcome to LZ. I ain't been to the IOW for years...it's nice there.:)

Hello Mike and welcome. It's probably too late now for an answer but for future reference you can bodge it to get you home with any tubing that'll give you a tight fit on the injectors. Aquarium air line..that kinda thing etc.....in simple terms, it ain't bad at all.

Welcome Elodef, a 300TDi Defender you say...Good choice sir. :rolly:

Hello and welcome Tony, it's a good forum to be part of, enjoy your stay. :)

Do what I did, buy a 1/2 " drive socket off of fleabay for about twenty odd quid....saves fookin about. LAND ROVER DEFENDER 90 10 130 52MM HUB NUT 1/2" DRIVE SOCKET - DA1118 | eBay

Welcome OD.... I hope you'll find that owning a Landy is more than just owning a car. I've got a Disco and a Defender... I want for nothing else! :welcome2:

Just Foook Off!!!! :nospamhere:

The filter is unacceptable and that machined face on the pump should be flawless. Theres no way it was packaged at manufacture in that condition.

Oh.... don't forget to have it jacked up on a chassis rail if you're taking the spring out.

I did the front shocks on a Defender a few weeks back and I ended up using an angle grinder. Got the top of the shock undone, removed the turret & spring and cut off the threaded part of the shock at the bottom. The nut and remainder of the threaded bit then just falls out of the bottom mount.

CD player!... ya just showing off now. :welcome2:

Alright Tig' welcome.

Any problems with the Landy down in France then just get on LZ and International Rescue should be able to help you out. :welcome2:
