No, the prop is disconnected now and the driver side wheel spins forward freely, but locks up as soon as you try to spin it backwards. Passenger side totally locked up still.

Hello all, I come to seek your help once again with what I think could be a problem with my rear diff Land Rover 1989 Ninety - Jacked up passenger side wheel to spin prop to allow access to bolts to remove them. I was able to spin the wheel freely until it suddenly locked up. Won't move...

I had a similar issue a few years ago with the car dying while driving. My mechanic changed the injector seals and that sorted the problem.

Hi all, bit of a strange one for you. Today I noticed that when I apply the handbrake there is a noticable increase in the heater output. Its a 300tdi defender. The left side heater lever is as far down as I can get it and does do a nice job of heating up the inside, but I was wondering why the...

Did you have any trouble removing the filler plug? I have the same type of swivel and can't get the filler plug to move at all.

I believe there should be a one way valve on the fuel line. I read somewhere that this is supposed to stop fuel flowing back to the tank when the vehicle is facing uphill and fix the problem you are describing.

Thanks for the suggestions, will check the tank and brakes asap. The tires are 235 85 r16 cooper discoverer stt mud terrains but I used my sat nav to calculate the distance travelled so I'm sure it's correct. It sailed through the MOT in november, no mention of anything brake related, can't...

Short drives about 5 miles each way on minor A and B roads, only one straight bit when I get up to 50mph then it’s all winding around bends at about 40mph.

Also noticed a problem with my mpg recently. I do less than 10 miles day, 4 days a week in a 90 with a 300tdi conversion. Done about 80 miles since I filled up last monday and have used near enough half a tank(under drivers seat which I believe is 68 litres). If my sums are correct then that...

While taking bits apart to replace the water pump, P gasket and have a look at the timing belt I noticed that the alternator pulley was wobbling when I spun it. Took the pulley off to find this: i'm guessing this is not normal, and could potentially be the source of the noise.

Hi, thanks for the help guys. I have just tested with the belt off and could not hear the noise. It seems like its coming from the water pump area. (when this noise first appeared suddenly, I noticed the temperature guage was nearly towards the red, when it normally sits at half way, pointing...

Unfortunately I don't know when it was last replaced. I will try with the belt off tomorrow, if that fails then it’s down to the garage. The one thing the video doesn’t show is how loud the noise actually is, it’s a very loud grindy noise even when going 10mph down the road. Come to a stop and...

Hi guys, I'm calling on your help again to diagnose this strange sound coming from what sounds like the nearside front end of my 300tdi (97k miles) How I would describe it is - It sounds a bit like metal plates vibrating. You can make it out in the video when I rev the engine up and it stops...

Could just be the linkage needs lubricating and/or the lever wasn't fully engaged.

The 12v feed is supposed to be the green wire on the sender right? I tested it again and it reads 0, however the white/grey wire reads 12v.

Hello all, having an annoying issue with my fuel gauge on my 1989 Ninety. I filled the tank up and the gauge reads empty. Tested for continuity and the 12v feed,both seemed ok. Swapped the fuel gauge wires over to the oil temp gauge expecting it to shoot up to full and I get no reading on that...

Hello all, recently I though I would treat myself to a new front wiper motor, new wheel boxes and wiper arms/blades. Finished installing it all today and tested it without wiper blades first - all works fine. Then tried with the wipers on the screen (wetted with soap + water) and they...

Were you looking at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvnQEIcrgWs ? I'm pretty sure you need to take more of the pump apart to get to the governor that discomani is talking about. Like this:

Hello, I'm in the process of a rebuild and engine swap(300tdi going in). When I got the eng/gearbox I noticed that the clutch flexi on the 300tdi was going straight into the slave cylinder. This joint is leaking badly so I'm wondering if this setup is wrong and I need a metal pipe in between the...

1 - How many clicks of the handbrake lever does it take to hold the vehicle? Is the lever nearly vertical when it does hold? If so then it should just be a simple adjustment needed on the back of the drum. How much does the vehicle move btw? Because a bit of movement is normal after applying...
