Gentlemen,thanks for the advice. For future reference: I bought a second hand complete heater unit from a 1992 defender 200TDI. I compared it with my unit before purchase and found that almost everything looked the same, straight pipes, same number on the motor,etc. The only difference was...

Thanks for those ideas but I really want to get the heater back working. I use it mostly for the demisting function although that may not be quite such a problem now that I've cleared the blocked drain plug which meant the blower was operating under water. So still hoping someone knows the...

Hello, My Defender 300 TDI heater blower has blown! I have removed the unit and looking for replacements I see that about £70 gets one suitable for Defender models up to LA939975, models after that need one costing about £110. Does anyone know what the difference is? (please don't say £40)...

Thanks to both for your replies. I think that the problem may be that the components are just poor quality. I measure the cylinder bore at the outer end as 47.6 mm and one retaining ring is 48.2mm and the other is 48.5 mm. The latter one is not fully formed, the outside wall is very dish...

Help! I bought new pistons and seals for my 95 Defender 300 TDI. They eventually arrived from Paddock. The problem is that I am having difficulty getting the metal outer seal retainer into the cylinder. It seems to be too big. I have damaged two already. I have two more but I'm hoping for some...

Thanks for that information. I eventually had to saw through the clevis pin. Two bolts were proving very stubborn so I opted not to damage the heads. Parts now on order. Interestingly, the parts drawing at the dealers showed the pin the other way round. So I expect clearance will not be a...

PS I have the manual but cannot find any detail on this. What page are you referring to. Also, is there anywhere which shows part numbers?

Grunt, Thanks for the reply. I don't think that you are referring to the faulty component. My fault, I will try to make it clearer: On your photo with the title "tfer_box.jpg" it is clearly shown to the left of the yellow splodge. It connects the rod which is threaded at the lower end to the...

After a long delay, due to holidays and hospitals, I struggled to remove the cubby box (rusted in screws) and finally got to see my floppy transfer gear lever problem. (Thank you to Chris Mack and to Grunt for the photos) The component which links the high/low lever to the operating rod has...

Thanks Chris, I will have a look today, hopefully. There is actually a cubby box in the middle but I guess otherwise it is the same. Pandyman

I used my N reg Defender 90 on grass with some incline work recently. I used the low range for about 15 minutes and used the diff lock for the first time to get going on a steep bit. It was in use for less than a minute. I later went back into high range with no problem. All seemed well until...
