Hi Folks, A BIG thank you to everyone who contributed advice. Tightening the belt made a big difference, loosening the steering box after that was good and fitting the damper as a final step has led to 100% performance. Bought the new UJ's but am keeping them in reserve as all is fine now...

Hi Lads, no need to be fighting- remmber we are all beautiful people with so much to give. My belt is loose- about 10 mil of play- my UJ's are warn and need replacing, and the steering box was slightly overtightened by seller to try to compensate when we told him the steering was crap. So lots...

The sender was on the engine already, and have been told it is the right one. The whole engine gets far too hot, the hoses are all scalding as well. We have checked the waterpump, it's sound. Water moves freely through the rad when you squeeze the hoses, and filling the header pushes water...

We checked the steering column UJ's this morning and there is a bit of play in both of them. Should there be any play at all? Too dark to see if any rust!

BP one was fitted after the cooling probs started, as an attempted remedy. We started with the original 300tdi rad from the donor vehicle (still in the shed). There was a lot of rust in the coolant water exit points from the engine. How should we go about complete flush of coolant galleries...

Hi Matt, Excuse the newbie ignorance but how would I flush the engine coolant galleries? The Brit Part rad was fitted after the cooling problems started getting v bad, we still have the original tdi rad that came with the donor vehicle. It was scruffy but seemed ok. There was a lot of rust in...

Yes We Can!!! It's been snowing but we won't let a little thing like that get in the way. It'll be later in the week before we can do it. We'll post results. Thanks, we like advice that doesn't need money spending!

Hi Discord, tyres are all at 36psi. The ones on the rear are brand new General Grabber AT's, the ones on the front are little used "General" and a bit less "off road" than the new ones. They came with the vehicle so we don't know whether they are from this landy or another one. Would we do...

Thanks Guys, we'll be out checking belt tension and joints shortly.

Pete here. The landy has a brand new Britpart 300tdi rad, which only gets hot around the entry point of the pipes. The fan is in front of the rad, blowing cold air through onto rad. Have fitted 2 new 300tdi thermostats, a new reconditioned head, and bled the sysytem to death! All of this...

I recently did a conversion putting a 300tdi into a TD90, and put a series III front end on. Therefore there is no space for the standard cooling fan behind the radiator and intercooler. I fitted a Nissan Pajero electric fan in front of the rad but have been getting overheating problems. Is...

Hello, brand new members and need advice. :confused:We recently bought a Defender 110, yr 1999, and the steering damper is missing. Been told it's unnecessary for general use, but we're having trouble with the steering. When driving the steering is sticky and slightly delayed, but when...
