I’m changing all the rubber on both front doors on my 1993 Defender with a cab top. Question? Does this model have outer and inner wast seals against the window and where’s the best place to get them ?

Thanks for that however they have been out of stock since April. I’ve been given one place that looks promising so will give them a ring on Mon.

Yes I understand however I’ve purchases it now so may as well fit it. I’ve just put in a recon gearbox and trans box

Ok I’ll fit it and report back with an honest opinion!

Thanks I’m getting the slick stick kit on Mon. It’s only a quick job so will see what it’s like When fitted then decide if I should change the turret.

That’s great, I was in the process of fitting a Slickshift however the turret was very worn in the spring housing Area so in for a penny in for a pound, it made very little difference to the stick movement when adjusting the bios spring, the ware is so bad.

Thanks for this ....,as I don’t have a parts book I wonder if anybody has the parts No. I’m a bit old to start collecting parts books now in my late seventies.

this is the complete unit

It would seem Ashcrofts Have the turret but not the spring and roll pin but i will ring on Mon and see what they say? Thanks!

Has anybody got a contact That can supply a R280 gearbox turret, spring and roll pin. Mine is in a poor state.

We has just walked across the ridge of this mountain with the RAF base Khormaskar in the back ground.

Hi the country was Aden 1963-1965. We undertook a number of rescues from both civilian and military. Tradition in the armed forces was if you climbed the local mountain you would never be posted back to Aden (not one of the better postings) so many did in flip flops, volcanic lava is very sharp...

Hi all many moons age I was a member of a RAF Mountine desert rescue team and found a couple of photos of our Land Rovers some may like to see. Peter

OK an Up date: had the alternator checked out, it's OK, the thing I could hear when reconnect the battery is the radio cd drive, Electrician confirmed the discharge was well within limits only the radio. So the assumption is I'm not using it enough! I must admit it's less than a few miles a day...

Ok. It does sound like an electric motor runs for about 2 to 3 secs then stops this happens as soon as I reconnect the battery and sound like its pumping something up to a pressure then switches off. Could there be an air con unit compressor and if so where is it? Nothing in the cab for air on...

Question on the 300tdi is the lift pump electrical or machanical? If is the latter then I'm barking up the wrong tree and must be something else that's starting but what?

Would a sticking relay keep the pump live? I thought the make and brake would be via the key. Please bear with me I'm into vintage vehicles no relays on these.
