Hi All, I have had my 300tdi Defender for coming up three years, I have gone from no mechanical knowledge to what I think is a reasonable understanding. I am reasonably happy with how the engine is running, but looking at others I feel it could be better. What do you guys think? Tuning wise...

Lovely Landy there, what is going on with the rear section? Looks like its a station wagon with the rear windows blocked off? I quite fancy doing something similar to mine.

I am thinking of replacing both the radiator and intercooler, having had a good browse online I think I have settled on one from Bearmach, it is both the radiator and intercooler together in a new frame. As much as I would love an Alisport one I really can’t justify the cost at something like...

That’s excellent help thank you. It’s along the similar lines to what I was thinking, I have studied the circuit diagrams and noticed that the affected items (there may be others, but like you say there the most noticeable ones) are on different circuits which is what had me stumped. So the...

Ah thats really helpful thankyou. I have heard stories about there being one in each wing for the headlights - is that just older models? I do indeed, electrics are not my greatest strength mind.

That's brilliant, cheers! Is that the workshop manual?

Good shout, I will take a look. Its been (slightly) sluggish the last few times. I am not sure if that's my imagination or the fact its getting slightly colder. So where are all the earths? Would I be right in saying: - Battery to gearbox - Lights to the inner wings somewhere - one near the...

So true, I have found so many other issues with it since not being able to hear my banging tunez through the (one working) speaker! 1997 300tdi 110 Station Wagon!

Here is a good one for you, its an electrical problem so I am doing my best to ignore it and hope it goes away....... A little while ago the radio would turn randomly off and on again, generally if you hit a bump in the road. Its progressively got worse, bumps seem to make it worse but I can...

Hi All, We have just moved to near Banbury and looking on Trailwise2 there is nothing around where we are and over the border into Northampton everything looks like it has been closed. Is there anything local that is worth a go that I might have missed (whilst still keeping the paint on the...

Quickness and ease mostly, I can have a roof top tent up in a few moments and the roof top tent away in 5-10 mins. All the bedding, mattress (a thick foam mattress), sleeping bag, pillows, torch etc etc, folds away inside it neatly. Not that its an issue in the UK, but you are also well away...

Sorry I haven't replied sooner, I have been away at the Dorset Steam Fair. Thats some really useful advice thank you. At the moment the tent is flush with the rear of the roofrack. I noted that when it opens the hinge makes the back slightly lower. So I concluded that if it was further onto...

Morning all, My partner has wanted a roof top tent since we bought our landrover, secretly so have I – but I am loathed to fit it! Anyway, long story short on Saturday we bought (impulse!) a Hannibal (sp?) 1.4m roof top tent, she shortly vanished off to her parents and left me to fit it. First...

Awesome thank you, I got them from Rimmer Bros in the end (not used them before, but I refuse to use Bearmach again as I have had several issues with my order now) and they put on there description 'thin type' so fingers crossed this time!

Its annoying as I am positive I ordered the right ones. Is it FRC859 that I need? Drop me a message with your address and I will get them out to you. Better off going to a good home rather than the scrap bin!

Hi all, Can anyone help me with the part number for front drive flanges for a 110 300tdi Defender (1997). I ordered these a while ago and they are too thick to fit. On a side note if anyone wants these cover postage and there yours because they are no use to me.

Where about are you in the Cotswolds? We live in Moreton in Marsh. The west coast is stunning. My favourite place in the world. I think 17 days is a good time to do it in, we had around that and could have easily spent much longer. We left at about 3.30am (personal preference to start early...

That’s how we went on the last trip one box (we used ‘euro boxes’ i.e. poor people’s wolf boxes as there the same size) but I thought the draw may be more convenient. But a thought that you just gave me is that if it is in a box I can easily lug that into the house to wash it all up after a long...

Right.... stupid question time... start rolling your eyes.... I am an avid mountaineer, I use the smallest, lightest stove I can find and shovel it straight out of the packet into my mouth, I might wash the spoon by licking it and certainly won’t wash my jet boil out… I will use the leftover...

That’s really good advice thank-you, I never thought how adding HD replacements would affect it, but you are total right and its obvious come to think about it. I don’t want silly large tyers, just something to fill the wheel arch better – my thought for upgrading to HD was reduce the component...
