    Smoking oil cap...

    So its not likely to be a blocked breather? Would the vehicle be ok to drive for short hops too and from work? Or should I get this sorted immediately.... Would using some form of stop smoke product cause this? Silly questions I know, but I'm very new to this....

    Smoking oil cap...

    I've just been out to check, and with filler cap off and engine running, there's a 'phut phut' sound.... I'm assuming thats normal... I can easily put my hand over where the filler cap goes and block it - there appears to be no pressure....

    Smoking oil cap...

    Hi All I've just noticed a smoking oil cap, and after a search on here had a bit of a look about the engine - as far as I dare. Someone mentioned that the head gasket could have gone - I've checked the coolant and oil, and have lost no water, but oil is down to the lower notch on the...

    110 Defender Sill Replacement -How?

    Hi All Landy is due in for an MOT in a month, and all should be well apart from what I believe to be the sills (I'm an idiot - and used to use the REME to fix my company wagon....) Anyway, on a day out through the week, the cack footed missus managed to kick off the strip of metal with the...

    White greasy substance around doors

    After a couple of quick door repairs, and painting with rust converter, I've noticed a white greasy substance appearing around the edges of the doorframes/edges of the rear seatbox. It looks like white grease straight from a can, but I know for a fact that its not been sprayed there...and it...

    Thanks all.....Finally got round to reading the forum and looking at your answers. I managed to switch the child lock back off simply by getting in the back and could see the little switch on the door just tucked in the door recess. I was able to get a small screwdriver in there and then open...

    I'm an idiot. Child locks and broken outside handle...

    Hi All I'm an idiot. My door handle on a rear passenger door packed in, and in a fit of stupidity decided that the child lock was the problem. I opened the door from the inside, activated the child lock then shut the door - realising just as it shut how stupid I was. Short of ripping off the...
