Hi guys, can anyone answer this ,,,,,, I have a 300 tdi Defender 1994, can I fit a Disco 300 tdi 1997 front axle to my Defender or will I have to modify it??? Deano

I renewed the cable feeding the solenoid, seems to have fixed it. Thanks

Hi guys, My RRC starts with relative ease when cold, but if I take her for drive long enough to get engine to max temperature, after I turn her off she wont start again for about 10 minutes. When I turn the key the response is very low battery juice. My batteries have been checked and are fine...

HI guys , thanks for all the help and advice. It turns out I had a broken spring in one of the heads. Fixed now.. LOL it took a year

Well guys thats the Rangie rebuilt and it seems the broken spring was the culprit for lack of power and running rich. She is driving a whole lot better now, not a flying machine but a nice drive. A huge thanks to every one who tried to help me out with your invaluable advice. Heads overhauled ...

HI guys , an update on where I am now with this lack of power. I changed 2 coolant sensors and it made very little difference, though now I feel the car wont break down on me, she still runs poorly but not as bad as before. I have started , no my mate has started fitting overhauled cylinder...

Hi guys, I will be fitting a disklok asap, any other ideas on security would be appreciated. Some of you may have read my post on draining battery, which results in me having to remove the or my battery is flat in the mornin, if I didnt do that they would have stole it, so I am kind of lucky...

Hi guys , I have just popped out of my garage at my house in the garden , only to find 2 men trying to steal my Landie, I approached them and they bolted into a very dark VW Passat REG = KP57NZG. I own a 300tdi Defender 1994, Police are involved, but for security I have resolved myself to...

Front spot lights, roof lights, rear work lamps, stereo/ dvd player, freeview tv , electric adjustable seats, after market alarm, land meter and LED footwell lights. I have checked all these and its not them. Its coming from the 60 amp fuse but god knows where before that.

Thanks,, if I pull the guilty fuse I get no power anywhere.

HI guys , thanks again for the help and advice. I am now completely lost, heres the latest. The 0.36 amp draw is now down to 0.14, my TV box was draining 0.12 amps, so thats sorted that. So I now have a draw of 0.14 amps to find. I took the 3 wires off the starter motor and obviously the...

HI guys, after doing not many miles the Rangie is back to misfiring and back firing, really strong smell of unburnt fuel. Not good at all. I think I am looking at a new camshaft. Silly question but is there any way to visually inspect a camshaft without removing it? Thanks again Deano

Thanks Dippypud,, I have pulled the connections off the relay timer and still getting drain, does this change your theory? THanks

THanks James. Latest= I have checked all glow plugs to see if they are shutting down after heating up with a electrical tester, and they all stop getting power after about 5 seconds, (I can clearly hear relay clicking) so I think thats normal. I have pulled the relay timer connections out and I...

THanks mate , I will do some research.

Hi guys ,, HAPPY NEW YEAR. I hope someone can help me AGAIN please. Defender 300tdi 1994. I have had a battery drain for about a year now and it is driving me nuts, had her into garages and still got the drain. So I have decided with a bit of internet home work and a multi meter to go at it...
