Hi all! It's been a while since my last post, but I've been using the forum a lot to help me slowly refurbish a p38 diesel I bought by accident and subsequently fell in love with. I like it so much I decided to replace the engine (which was worn!) with a much lower mileage one. After much...

Hi all, Weird one this: when i start my 3.9v8 110 there is a horrid kind of dry grindy noise for about a second, then it stops. Noise happens when the truck has started, not when it's trying to start. The nose is coming from the front of the gearbox/back of the engine, hence me wondering...

Hi all, Need a little advice, apologies for the long story! Yesterday I took part on a land rover experience adventure drive at Eastnor as part of the lr show there. The experience was amazing, although it was by a long way the most challenging off roading I've driven yet (out of 10 vehicles...

Hi all, Well, my drivetrain issues continue. I've got quite a lot of play in my drivetrain, which I can live with. However, what is more worrying is that when I back off the throttle above 50mph (when the drivetrain goes slack), there is a grumbly knocking noise coming from beneath my feet...

Hi all, Bit of a tricky one that i haven't het found an answer for- hopefully you geniuses can help. I'm running a 3.9v8 from a disco in my Defender, which has a standard 200tdi temp gauge. The Temp sender on the V8 isn't compatible with the 200tdi gauge, and it reads off the scale too...

Hi All, Vehicle is a 'fender with a 3.9v8. As above (yes, I have searched- please help). Symptoms feel very much like a knackered UJ- LOADS of play in the drivetrain (shunting and clonking) at low throttle load (EG pottering about at 30mph), but I recently replaced both props and all...

Hi All, i have searched, but no luck. Vehicle is a defender 110 with Disco 3.9 v8 and the transfer box from a 200tdi disco. Recently replaced the speedo gear in the transfer box as the other fell apart (three sides fell of the square peg hole). Took some advice from a local garage that said...

Hi All, I have a couple of gearboxes for sale: Disco LT77 gearbox (a late one, so good strong box). 130k and good condition. Taken from a v8, includes bell housing. Defender gearbox: Not sure if it's an LT77 or R380: taken from a V8 so has long shaft, and comes with Bellhousing. Box is...

Hi all, I have searched this, but can't find an answer anywhere...hope you geniuses can help. I recently put a disco transfer box on my 110. But my original prop won't fit. Do you know which one i need? The vehicle is originally a 200tdi, and the Transfer bo is off a disco V8 (late LT77...

I've posted about this a couple of times so far, but i'm still desperate for help....apologies. My 3.9v8 (97 Disc V8 with ECU rewired so it runs without CAT or Lambdas- 105k miles) defender has a bit of a temperamental attitude. Essentially, she runs quite rough- low on power, backfiring etc...

As above- good condition LT85 box wanted for my v8 110. Cheers, Steve

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone's come across Land Rover Hire in Uganda? I've done the trip a few times, usually in Rav4's, but taking more folks with us this time and don't want to repeat the 'challenges' the roads faced us with last time. Cheers, Steve

Hi all, Sorry if this is a stoopid question. . .but: I have very strange happenings with my '97 3.9v8- i have to reset the ECU (usually by unplugging the Air Flow Meter) at the start of every journey, otherwise it is basically undriveable. Once reset it runs sweetly for the rest of the...

Hi all, I have searched this, but struggling to find a decent answer. Well, my 3.9 fender conversion was running like a dream for about 5k miles. . .until recently when it's developed an intermittent misfire (I think), causing an occasional backfire and Its down on power. It's also...

Hi All- i have searched but can't find an answer. I have an ex-200tdi defender now with an ex-disco 3.9v8. The temp gauge reads in the red all the time even though it doesn't overheat. I was wondering what gauge/ sender i need. Part numbers would be massively appreciated too. Sorry if its...
