Your right it is an annoying fault. I have at the moment put some wire wool inside the breather pipe from the rocker cover to the air filter. The idea is that this will filter out more oil than just the small filter that is in the oil filler cap. I will let you know how it goes. As you...

I don't think a 300 Tdi engine will fit straight in, also i don't belive the LT77 gearbox will fit to a 300 Tdi without an adaptor kit. I have heard of Turner Engineering, one of the Landy mags uses them. The price for the 300 Tdi is for a stripped engine, you would need manifolds, turbo and all...

Does the problem happen in the same location all the time? Have heard of mobile phone masts causing interference to the immobiliser system. if you are a member fo the AA or RAC see if they can give you any information regarding locations of similar breakdowns.

I presume you have got the 19j engine, ie non intercooled. Changing the engine for a re-conditioned unit may not solve the problem. Replacement of the engine for another type would be an option, but it depends on how much you are willing to spend? As finding a decent garage to do the job is...

Hi, again. Missed your last post. The grommit you have removed is a drain hole for excess oil. Any oil that gets into the air filter canister is meant to drain out of the hole. The grommit should have looked like a ducks beak, sorry best discription I could think of, it is meant to close if...

Hi, You did not say what type of engine your 90 has. I suspect it is a 19j 2.5 Turbo Diesel. If it is this seems to be a common problem with these engines. The problem is caused by high pressure in the crank case. The crank case is vented into the rocker cover near the back of the engine. In...

Mark, I would hate to put someone off getting a 101", but are you sure that it is the right vehicle? Reasons behind this are, You are after a reliable workhorse, even the youngest 101's are are 27 years old. Are you going to be driving a long way in it? They are not the most user friendly...

Try Landrover Enthusiast magazine for Manuals for a FC101. There are 3 different manuals for the vehicle. An Operaters Manual, a Repair Manual and a Parts catalogue. Lots of the parts for the vehicle where never used on any other Landrover, so getting replacements can be difficult. Join the...

The yokes at each end of the prop should not be out of alignment. I would rotate one half the smallest amount to re align the yokes. If you are unsure get the prop checked by a specialist.

You need to check for rotational movement between the two halves of the sliding joint. You will need to lift a wheel at the end you are checking and release the hand brake, choke the wheels and use axle stands to support the axle, not a jack. If the brake is on and the wheels on the ground you...

Another one for your list. Try Firebond they have adverts in all the magazines.

Are you sure the diff lock is engaging properly? The light only comes on when the lock is engaged, if the light is intermittent is the diff lock?

Hi, You have your engine type as 2.5 d N/A, a non turbo charged 2.5 ltr diesel. these engines may not have enough torque to enable you to use a GKN overdrive. You may find that when the overdrive was engaged the engine revs would drop below the optimum for maximum torque, and you would slow...

As you have had the UJ's replaced. Have you checked the sliding joints on the prop shafts? 140k is a lot of distance.
