    Beating the Land Rover cold

    Yeah, mobile cold store if you ask me! I’ve got bits of soundproofing/lagging everywhere. Tried every trick in the book to get the beast to warm up(300 tdi 90). Warm air just demists the window…just🤬. I made my peace with the green monster and just accept it’s cold city when on the move…Norfolk...

    Water leak from 300tdi

    If you take the water pump, power steering pump, just unbolt it and push to one side to make room and take the support bracket off you will get down to the p gasket. 2 second job to change. Didn’t take me too long to get down to it. Get a replacement from turners. It’s better than original. Give...

    New Member Intro

    Hello mate. Good hard sharp tap with the spanner going clockwise to loosen. Maybe lever a piece of wood on one of the other pulleys to stop engine turning. 👍

    Thermostat

    Temp sender is a thermo resistor- need to match it to the engine. Put a new sensor in my 300 tdi and it went off scale. Old one back in just fine. Complicated beasts eh.

    Vacuum pump play in piston

    Went back and looked at my old pump. the piston has about 3mm of play back and forward in it. Hate to say it but that loud ticking could be a head gasket. Your describing the same sound I had and the head gasket was blown at the back of number 4 cylinder. I put my hand round the head and could...

    Series Steering Wheel on a Defender

    Ok. I did mine when it was getting rebuilt so it was easy to fit. Even doing it to yours wouldn’t be the worst job in the world. Just a bit of a dig to get to it but the actual column out- new one in was no time at all and worth doing. I much prefer the old style wheel. I managed to find a...
