Oh hell and ****y poo pants:( It's not exactly an exhaustive test, but three starts without touching clutch pedal, then one with the clutch down. No clutch, no noise, clutch down and scrunch noise. No indication of any clutch problem otherwise though? So, should I start saving for a...

My Defender is just the same. Major sheet of water right over the screen and roof. Probably a bit worse with the steering guard fitted. But you is chucking a large brick at a puddle! Like they said, slow down and give your chassis a clean:D

Cheers Dippy and James, this was my suspision, with hindsight and a bit more searching:rolleyes:. I think it could be the bendix sticking. Much prefer this to a clutch issue:( Time for removal and clean up me thinks and see if this cures it. Otherwise, new starter motor required before more...

Allways start with clutch down. Don't like this suggestion though:( Will try without cluch down.

Could be cold belt I suppose. It's only started happening in the last few weeks. Does'nt happen any other time than on start up and only for a second when I release the key. I'll find a volunteer to start it and stick me head under the bonnet tomorrow for a closer look.

Yes stops after about 1 second. Fan belt and tension pully are recent. Water pump looked ok when I changed the P gasket last year.

Ok not quite new year.:rolleyes: I was hoping ya'll could help me with a new noise. It's familliar to old bangers, I'm sure you'd all recognise it. On starting up, after the engin fires, there is a scunch screach, a little lit the noise when you try to start a car that is already running...

I have the answer. Stand on the bonnet and **** on the jets :-) However, need to save some for me door lock which also froze solid :-(

Like it. Will put it on my to do list and think about it for a few years:)

Frozen nozzles is a fair bet. Guess I need to get a hair dryer on them. Don't know mix strenght, just chucked half a litre on concentrate in it, but the tank water is not frozen.

Got washer bottle full of fluid with antifreez stuff in it. Frozen all the way to work, frozen still at end of day and all the way home. Any top tips???

What he said :D Hit it:bump2:

Drownded:o Badly sealed snorkle:o

I've got a 2 man pop tent from GoOutdoors (cant see it on their site now). It is a lined version, bit better than the standard festival tent and about £40.00. Been using for a couple of years now. Quick to put up, don't take much room and never get wet. I camped in it last weekend, during the...

Pulling to the right:eek: Sorry cant help, can't stop laughing, try pulling to the left:rolleyes:

Ok, sensible reply. Had heaps of help. Great forum. Take the **** taking on the chin and enjoy the fun. Only managed to solve one persons problem so far I think. Bit embarrassed about that considering the help I have got, but ****, there are so many eggspurts on here, mere mortals can only...

p.s Sorry :o

**** off gay boy :lol:

Piccie time. Here's what I ended up doing. Got hold of a brass 3/8th plumming end cap, tapped a 5mm thread in the end for the car aerial then filled in the void with some plastic metal to give it some more strength. Not used it in anger yet as I'm actually getting a pretty decent signal...

Eh? What you on about? I'm using a CB springer aerial for my FM car radio. CB aerial mount at the back, normal car radio socket at the unit:)
