just been to pick my mrs up from work and turned the car off whislt waiting, then went to turn the car over and nothing, battery light and the choke light come on as always but turn the key and dead. first thought the starter, tried rocking it and hitting the starter but no change then linked...

nah mate am not far from there though about 2 minutes away, and the police round here are no good some young lads broke into my house, beat up my dog with a golf club then ran off after trying to nick my car, the police would then not come to me but asked me to drive my car to them to...

it looks more like the handle of a dipstick

yeh i heard someone had a gun pulled on them for their defender, i'm only in maghull meself. got a bit worried as i'm working away and i left my defender to my mum an she visits her boyfriend in kirby nearly everyday.

hey hows it goin? still enjoying your discovery?

that looks really smart mate and well planned out any chance you could do another diagram with the dimensions cos i would mind doin that meself

im after a defender roof lining if anyone can help?

unlucky but atleast you now know the problem and i appreciate the advice, i never thought that reading the instructions would actually help haha but thanks again

ah that might be the problem as i have only been sitting them flush with the hub, i wondered why the bearing was able to move about alot i just presumed thats how it was meant to be. so the seal needs to be pushed in as far as possible so the bearing cannot move?

ive done the hubs seals on my defender twice in the past 2 months, yes they are the right seals and the breather isnt blocked but they just seem to keep going and leaking oil after obout 2-3 weeks of driving any advice what it could be?

Got any wheels an tyres?

How much for the tyres please mate?

How much for the wheel an tyres and the winch? Oh an also the arches? Pm please

i am abit aswell mate, were are you?

did you have to force the slave cylinder against the push rod to mate it up to the bell housing? if not then the slave cylinder is knckered

when you connected up the slave cylinder, was there pressure there when you pushed the pushrod against it? did you have to put force on it so it mated up with the face of the bellhousing? if not the slave cylinder is no good

Did you make sure the push rod pushed all the way in before fitting the slave cylinder? If not then the clutch has not been fitted properly or the pressure plate tightened in-evenly causing it to go in on a ****ed angle

Have you had a new clutch fitted? Maybe the release bearing is sticking on the input shaft, or could be the the pressure plate has not been tightened properly and damaged the clutch finger springs, could be a number of things mate but all easily sorted

Don't know if anyone can help I'm after a LT77 gearbox for a fender, front and rear propshafts, 200tdi defender turbo

Hi again the gearbox is no longer crunching but the knock from underneath is still there, but it's also a loud squeak could this definately be the UJ or is there anything else it could be?
