I made some pics of the tank and cradle so you see how they are and the gap between the two. Rather than Dinitrol or Waxoyl what do you think of the METALMORPHOSIS: http://www.landroverblogger.com/land-rover-monthly-5-star-rating Would appreciate if someone could confirm the steps i...

To summarize what I should do in order is 1. Sand paper 2. Paint tank and cradle with stone chip paint 3. Paint tank and cradle black with epoxy spray paint 4. Apply under-body seal between tank and cradle 5. Apply polyurethane seam sealant all around cradle to close all cavities to the...

Cool - when you mean stone chip what do you actually mean? is a paint like that one: http://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-body-repair/scratch-repair-paint-restorers/hammerite-stonechip-shield-black-600ml

Thanks so much @discomania for your suggestions! The tank and cradle came separate - the cradle will be fixed to the tank with 4 screws - but when you do that there is a little gap between the two. What is Dinitrol as I will have to look for an alternative here in Ghana for it? With it I just...

Hi All, Finally I got the new fuel tank shipped to Ghana :) this weekend I will fit it. Any recommendations on the prep to fit it with respect to: 1- washing the inside of it before putting in the diesel 2- whether to paint it over the standard black paint that it comes from Bearmach 3- what...

I promise last post on this from me ;) Everyone seems to be recommending me to go for the WFE000190 - however I feel the one I am currently fitting is the NRC9515 (looking at the drain plug it's clear I am not fitting now the WFE000190 as there the drain plug is in the middle of the tank and...

Thanks Brendan but I am still stuck as to what is the right part number of my tank.. . based on the pics I believe it's the NRC9515... See the location of the drain plug? the NTC 2017 has a larger drain plug towards the center of the tank, rather I have it in the right-front corner...

Thanks a lot @Oldseadog for the feedback. If I look at my current tank and the ones online rather than NTC2017 mine looks like the NRC9515 - see picture attached - the areas i have circled red can be found in the NRC rather than NTC - what kind of tank is that? May be it got changed by the...

thanks, I would buy it in the UK and have a friend to bring it over - the general feedback on the forum on britpart is generally poor so I would go with another one - mine is a 110 1995 Defender

Hey @ifloochies! The ones we find here in Accra are all used and the price is not too different than buying a brand new one! ;) given the work it takes to replace it I would rather go for one that sorts me out for good

Looking at paddock I think my current tank is this one (NRC9515): http://www.paddockspares.com/nrc9515-fuel-tank.html it's from Bearmach - can I find any better for a standard replacement? I would have loved to find a tank for long-range but all seems to be only in australia...

Hi All, My Landy has been leaking increasingly and after a few attempts to fix, yesterday finally my mechanic suggested to replace it. I read all of the threads on this on the forum and couldn't find a conclusive answer to my questions: 1- What is the right tank for my 1995 110 Defender...

Great thanks guys!!! I will do the checks you recommend! Are there any parts of the tank that you suggest replacing anyway - whatever happens, if I keep my tank or replace it with another one here (which will be equally as old as mine), I think it's worth changing whatever may get compromised...

No need of opening up a new thread I suppose..... but also my 1995 Defender started to leak from the fuel tank.. The tank originally was for the 3.5 V8, then the engine got changes for a 200TDI but the same tank was kept after having it thoroughly cleaned it etc.... What should I look for to...

Hey All, Never thought breathers would need maintenance but I guess on a Landy you gotta do everything at some point.... The breathers are on the axles and on the gearbox only or also elsewhere? 2 things I'd appreciate your guidance on: -I noticed that the breather of the front axle got...

Hi guys, follow-up on the question raised a few weeks back :) Also I read in some forums that a chocked breather could lead to leaking...what is the way to check if the breather is not working correctly?

Hi guys, I red on the Land Rover Defender Modifying Manual () that the diff housing and transfer case will be leaking if a synthetic oil is used since the seals are not made for it (page 40 and 45)... Do you think this could be a reason for the leaking?

ok, I understand - thanks for clarifying ;) so the two stc1130 will be changed as I have the t/box opened for the seals - great stuff - with this i shall finally end the leaking so I can shouldn't worry on my next trip to be left w/o oil! When I am changing all these seals/parts I guess I...

Amazing stuff @jamesmartin ! We are towards the finish line - yey! Q1 what do you mean by stc1130 fit t/box? is this the approximately the same procedure for the hub bearings? Q2 I read online that the shoes have been superceded by ICW500010 - can you confirm as it differs from the icw100030...

Thanks @jamesmartin - you are my personal Landyzone hero Q1 so I won't touch the pinion bearing but rather do the output bearings - is this the approximately the same procedure for the hub bearings? Q2 I read online that the shoes have been superceded by ICW500010 So to confirm once again, my...
