    Clunking through steering on rough terrain - 300tdi

    I've not long rebuilt the left hub as it badly needed it, the right hand side is next when I get the cash so that'll no doubt be just as shot. My rear shocks including the bushes are fairly new (few months old) and they're good quality Monroes so hopefully I can rule that out. Will need to...

    110 rear door

    I've been looking at the fully galv ones SP4x4 do but there's also a guy called Mosside Land Rovers based in NI that makes his own and they look pretty good quality. Haven't been able to get a hold of him to find out a cost though https://www.facebook.com/mosside.rovers?refsrc=deprecated&_rdr

    Sudden stearing lunge.

    Sounds like a wheel bearing on its way out

    Correct clutch adjustment - 300tdi

    I removed the clutch assembly entirely and reset the adjuster nuts as per Britannica Restorations video, I then gravity bled the clutch as per another video of his (very handy to learn!). I now have actual free play in the pedal as I should do, the valves are fully open and properly closed when...

    Correct clutch adjustment - 300tdi

    I've no problem with where the biting point is as I'm used to it. Going to pop out just now and try and bleed it and see if I get any air out then nip up all the nuts if that's the case

    Correct clutch adjustment - 300tdi

    Those will adjust the free play, that shouldn't have an effect on biting point. Can't mind the parts I had fitted to mine but I supplied them to the garage. Sure they were decent mind you. A friend of mine looked up the problem without specifying land rover and it seems that it could possibly be...

    Correct clutch adjustment - 300tdi

    How were you able to adjust the biting point? I thought that was pretty much fixed. Mine has been near the top of the pedal travel ever since the clutch was done a wee while ago

    Clunking through steering on rough terrain - 300tdi

    Wonder if anyone would know the potential cause of this. When driving over rough or rutted terrain (which I don't do very often) I get a very noticeable clunking from and through the steering wheel. Nothing of the sort when driving on normal roads and the steering damper isn't particularly old...

    Correct clutch adjustment - 300tdi

    I can't remember off the top of my head what type was fitted when I had the clutch done. Still not sure why it's doing this when warm as it just seemed to start out of the blue and had been running absolutely fine beforehand

    Correct clutch adjustment - 300tdi

    Update on this - the pedal has the correct amount of freeplay when I first start driving and it seems to be when the vehicle (and the clutch) warms up it becomes quite hard and there's no freeplay whatsoever, I can press the clutch slightly while driving and can tell that it's disengaging the...

    Correct clutch adjustment - 300tdi

    Cheers, I do watch his videos but I'll have a go again at sorting out the adjustment nuts. Access is a pain when the pedal box is already fitted but I'd rather that than take it out and have to rebleed it again

    Correct clutch adjustment - 300tdi

    Haven't taken the return spring off but the pedals not stiff or jammed in any way, it was just quite hard rather than not pivoting properly. The return spring could do with an oil as its started squeaking when coming off the pedal though

    Correct clutch adjustment - 300tdi

    Is anyone able to further advise on properly adjusting my clutch pedal. My biting point has been near enough at the top since I got the clutch replaced a few years ago and since then I've fitted a new slave cylinder and a new master cylinder. I've read the LR workshop manual on correctly...

    1997 ex-MOD 110 Wolf XD, stuck steering wheel.

    Get a flat bar with a threaded hole in the centre, put either end through the top and bottom of the steering wheel. Thread a bolt through the hole and tighten it down onto the shaft. If that doesn't pop it off then just give up and burn it

    New Defender - a waiting game

    After seeing the types of people that are buying them (daft young lassies that you'd usually see cutting about in range rovers) I think I'll steer clear. I did like them initially but not now and I'd rather hold out for a Grenadier

    1997 ex-MOD 110 Wolf XD, stuck steering wheel.

    Hold the wheel at the 12 and 6 positions and rock it towards and away from you while pulling. That's how I've always done it and I've never had an issue getting them off

    So, I found new holes in the truck.

    It's not the rear crossmember, it's the crossmember that the A frame bolts onto.

    Defender window rubber

    As far as I remember it's just got the one seal along the outside, it pushes down onto the metal edge of the door along the window

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Passed its MOT with flying colours, not even an advisory

    Cab roof problem

    Easiest way would be to try and drill out the old nut and just stick a rivut in its place
