Hi again folks I did promise to post an update as to what the outcome of my clutch problem was in the end. Sorry I haven't been in touch sooner, it was hectic at work last week and I haven't got around to it until now. The Defender went in for another strip down and they found (bear in mind...

Hi again Yes, CharlesY that's good advice. thanks. It's booked in for them to look at this coming Wednesday (31st) so I'll drive it with someone in there with me and see what they have to say. The part your refering to, is it called a spigot bearing or pilot bearing or bush or what. I'm a...

Right, now we're making progress !! I have spoken the guys at the garage who have told me that the pilot bearing was on the job list to be changed at the same time as everything else, because it was considered as a possible problem basied on the symptoms I had described (although I hadn't...

Hi Jason2 Thanks for your suggestion. I don't know if they checked that or not. I think I'm going to have to get back to them again and be a bit more demanding for more detail on what they actually did. I have a fairly detailed parts list of what has been replaced, with part numbers etc...

Hi CharlesY Assuming that the release bearing has genuinely been done (and I'm as certain as I can be that it has), your idea about the dry input shaft pilot bearing may be worth me mentioning to the garage. IF it is this, do you know what are typically the long-term consequences of this. Is...

Please bear in mind that I don't know the first thing about it, so I totally accept your wisdom regarding the xfer box replacement etc. It was only my guess that they needed to take the engine out, but based on what you've said it looks like they probably wouldn't have after all...so that's...

Hi discomania Thanks for your reply. That was quick ! I had onl just finished typing it ! It has done about 90,000 miles which I don't think is exceptionally high really (although obviously I'm no expert). In the other threads I read before posting, most people's problems seem to occur...

Hello everyone I hope that someone will be able to help me please. I have looked through the forum to see if my problem has been covered before but can't find anything, so I apologise if I've missed it and am repeating stuff. I have a 1999 Defender TD5 110. I have not had it all that...

Hi The gearbox tunnel on my 1999 TD5 Defender 110 gets very warm on long ish journeys (after the first 80-100 miles) IF I touch the metal ov the tunnel under the trim, it is about as warm as I woulod want to comfortably hold my fingers against. Is this normal ? It's the first Landy I've...

Hey, thanks Slob. I found it on there. Excellent. Appreciate your help. Regards

Hi folks I'm a new member to the forum and I was wondering if anyone out there could point me in the direction of a service schedule for a Defender 110 TD5 (1999). I have tried looking all over the net without any success unfortunately. I have recently bought an ex-utility (water...
