The front wing is a nut and bolt job to change but the rear TUB [as it is called] arch side is a fair old job.

No such thing as a "series one Defender" and never will be. Like asking a pack mule to be a show horse. PS would rather have the mule any day.

On a series 3 the fuse box under the steering wheel is notorious for poor connections.

No idea what size but it will be imperial.

Diesels can get hot in the combustion chamber area very quickly.

Kits are available to overhaul those older lift pumps who's sections are held together with screws.

The bonnet pin that drops into the hole between bolts in pic above can not be released/removed while bonnet is shut. Follow instructions above, Get some lube in there. Sometimes when the lever has been moved over and still does not release bonnet a hard slap of the hand on the bonnet will...

On a series you could lock up all four wheels on the adjusters. Handy cross axle escape when off roading with two opposite wheels off or nearly off the ground Lock one spinning in the air and send drive to wheel on the ground. Often when stuck you only have to move a couple of feet to get free...

Here is a story from long ago. In 1983 when the first 110 coil sprung Land Rovers came on the market Land Rover decided to have a 2x4 system option available thinking that many byers would be coming from having Series Land Rovers that had the more usual 2 wheel drive for the road and four wheel...

I would renew the lift pump, you may well be right about the little valves.

As yours is a likely a standard Lt 230 the only way it will drive with the transfer box unlocked is with the free wheel hubs engaged as it is a full time 4x4 system. With the transfer locked and the front freewheel hubs out the vehicle should drive but it is just in rear wheel drive with some...

Yes that is the issue, the fluid stays inside so nothing to see. Have a look in the reservoir with a good light, black stuff at the bottom will be tiny bits of the seals.

With the pipe off servo and engine on tick over put thumb over end of pipe, If the pipe holds itself on vac is good. Check the valve the pipe fits to on servo is working. With the master as it is old you may have issues with seals inside allowing some internal fluid bypass giving the soft...

A normal Lt230 fitted vehicle would never have free wheel hubs fitted. The system being full time 4 wheel drive so there would be no point. The only way it would drive with free wheel hubs not locked is with the center lock engaged, otherwise power always goes the easy way, in this case the...

OK so first lesson on how the Lt 230 works. It is a permanent four wheel drive system where drive is sent to all four wheels at all times. To allow for different wheel speeds you have the normal differential's in the axles and to allow different wheel speeds front to rear there is another...

And at least the floor will be less bother to remove. :D :D

Good, it should last a while.

When it comes to fix its this is a basic job. A prop shaft bolt removal tool and other basic spanners and socket set will be needed Prop bolt tool is a thin neck socket available on ebay/amazon. A kit of parts including a new drive flange can be had for about £30. Often damage to where the seal...

Land Rover missed the boat when they stopped the Challenger Project circa 1991. A more comfortable but still a utility vehicle for civilian and military that had its prototype's based on the Discovery one. 100" wheelbase and a LWB of 114". There was a lot more work to be done when project was...

Classic sign of front output seal fail I would say. Oil flung by the drive flange is blown back on to where it can be seen. This has been happening a fair old time, evidence by the clean strip on the casing. Check transfer oil level straight away. May already be very low.
