Agree looked so dodgy, 6pm in build up area is risky The trailer was a nice galvanised version, Could be Ifor W or Similar so certainly around 700kg

On the subject of trailers. Seen this one with questionable weight distribution in Newcastle a year ago Towpoint on the car must be above 100kg🙂

Will be towing our homemade caravan so accomms is sorted as long as can find a place to park. For full peace of mind makes sense to get new timing belt fitted while in UK. If not then would bring the Dayco kit. Been 11 years since bought the Landy and do everything myself except clutch &...

Agree about the insurance, easier to sort before the journey. Thanks for the info about local garages, they all can do the work on a older Landy. The gearbox failed a year ago near Newcastle as got the replacement fitted by a Romanian guy in Newton Aycliffe, who never worked on a Landy before...

Hi Marjon Want to visit Bulgaria this year, Don't know yet for how long🙂 with our 300TDI Defender and got got few questons for you 1. Current UK insurance company gives 30 days European cover. Would you recommend to buy a 6 month cover from a UK company or buy cover while in Bulgaria? 2. As...

Yes a clamp meter on the positive wire with max setting activated. I agree that 45A seems low, would think it should be near a engine cranking amperage. I been searching online and youtube and lots of "reviews" thou none actually testing the current. Surely thats the point of stressing the...

Been doing v similar to you and using same Dinitrol vax. Ruined a carpet as used a radiator to heat the vax before application. The metal can burst! Now putting it in bucket with boiled water. My cheap shultz gun came with a 50cm thin pipe to get into cavities. Been doing a yearly topup on areas...

Tested the Battery tester with a Clamp meter and the peak current draw is 45 Amp. Could you do the same test as would be interesting to compare old vs new type of battery test meter

About a day from fully charged to the battery tester arrived and did the test. Guess the battery in knackrd as the fully charged voltage is 12.60. To stress the battery I ran the test 3 or 4 times and the results were v similar, resting voltage dropped to 12.57 Still feel the SOH is too high...

Hi My Defender 300TDI wouldn't start after been sat for days due to low battery. Got the battery tested at local car shop. They used a Durite battery tester and it said replace batter as state of health is 39%. Battery is 10 years old so bought new, fitted it and it starts again. Looked at...

Quick question/near subject:-) Do any of you disconnect the battery before replacing clutch or gearbox? Had clutch done by garage in past and they didn't. Now its in garage for gearbox and they want to disconnect it 300tdi Defender Paid for 8 hours labour for the clutch renewal

Got the clutch replaced and learned dodgy non landy garage fitted it without the clip on the slace cylinder and some bracket other way around! The sound still persists and seems to be more than before incl hearing it when parked in neutral. Press clutch pedal and quiet. Been gathering quote from...
