Finally got everything together for swapping the Transfer box. Just need to wait on my knee getting better, so far, not so good. As mine was a working Landy all the wheelarches are damaged somewhere or other, now it's in a more genteel semi...

Must be a troll, surely.

Cannot believe there is 23 pages of this sh1t. It stopped making sense on the very first page!

Leave it running and look carefully all over the underside of the vehicle for leaks. This happened to me and it cost me, in the end, a new gearbox. But before that it was found that the bolts holding the gearbox to the bell housing had come...

People seem to get varied results. Preference may be a part of it but some people report improvement, some none, few have even gone full polybush only to revert to OEM because it ruined it? When replacing old worn OEM with brand new polys it’s...

found a friend a rather nice D1 commercial.. :)

Possibly the hole the ball-joint goes into has been deformed so it just wrecks the new ball-joint? Or someone fitted Britpart.

nothing here makes any sense.

Bosh!!! All sorted.. new switch installed! Thanks everyone for the information and help 💪🏻

There is a small inspection plate on the bottom of the bell housing you can remove to have a look at the flexplate. With a cracked flex plate it'll produce a horrendous noise in all gears even park.. issues with 1-2 on the 4hp is usually either...

Good evening, Today I had the sump off on our 2.5DSE auto P38 in an attempt to cure a gasket leak, however now I have a much bigger leak on my hands due to an improper install of the dipstick tube? The way I removed it was to just pull it out, I...

Hi all, Handbrake drum was off for an oil seal replacement, all works fine over there. Once in gear it does not slip, however I havent carried out the slipping test frok the manual. It just feels like a regular zf4hp22. Today upon starting...

Has anyone been able to install the clutch slave rod to release fork clip, via the slave cylinder hole? asking for a friend...............

One of your five a day then Dan.. Hope you're sorted soon

Fitted 'em to mine felt no difference, still rides like shít. :vb-biggrin: no real change.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has experience with the Britpart poly bush kit for the p38 (DC7107)? I know many people say to never put poly bushes on a rangie as it will give a harsh ride and they don't allow enough roll. I disagree...

Okay I was away for a bit but soon I'll have a go at figuring out the phasing of my propshaft. I have a feeling this may be my issue and am hoping on a near-free fix which would be nice for a change! I'll keep this topic up to date once I...

Been with LV since 1993

Front subframe, I've had the rear subframe in the garage for a few months

that does sound good as the idea of sending anything as valuable as my only working key via royal snail fills me full of terror

Lavish wax on the bolt regardless.

It's almost impossible to price a Defender as two models of the same year can be wildly different in price and quality. For a hobby car it's a 90 all day long, have a family then it's a 110. Find one you are happy with then work out the price...

I'm struggling to even work out if 90s or 110s are more expensive, because the pricing is SO erratic sometimes. I would say a circa £15,000 example is my sweet spot at the moment and a well specced xs with a few of the bits I would upgrade...

Thanks for that will have a look as keys don't like me so will definitely need a spare!!

Hi Luke thanks for your reply To check the Level I stand the vehicle on the level ground with the engine running, bring it up to temperature fill the gearbox until it runs out of the filler hole, go through the gears while stationary when the...

Google classic rides north Wales. Les does all things p38 in regards to keys and becm stuff.

I only ever had keys made purely of metal that you turned in the door lock to get in and the same to start it! Luckily the wife likes it and with overfinch rear exhaust it sounds very nice indeed!! I am also used to no one letting you out at...

It may be that some owners don't/didn't realise they may have 15p engine in their car! Your looking at 6 months window before the change to facelift? On a positive note! There are 700 -/+ D2s still around! How many are in that window??? Why do...

Thanks for the quick replis again. I think it beeped twice whwn i turn the key on.. I swore i wouldn't have a car that beeped at me! Hopefully it is just a bulb then although the previous owner had no history or spare key that it had two years...

Ok, well I think we have an answer. First the good news -the A pillar is completely dry as is the headlining. I poured a litre of water onto the scuttle pan and it pooled and leaked -the drain was completely clogged. I’ve unclogged it and it...
