No flexi on mine just a solid pipe all the way, I dont think its the adjustment but will have a play. to be honest I'd be happy if the clutch failed at least I knew what was wrong! at the mo I'm facing the prospect of removing the gearbox and it being all fine! :(

Hi all, my clutch in my 1990 Defender fitted with a 200 tdi has developed a strange fault. I was driving down the road, stopped at traffic lights, when they went green I put the clutch in and selected first but it wouldnt pull off, the clutch was stuck engaged so I removed the slave cylinder and...

I have problem with my clutch on my 1990 90 (supposed to be a turboD but its now a 200) where the pressure is building in the clutch pedal. one minute its fine, if a little heavy, then all of a sudden when you push it down say at traffic lights it stays disengaged, the pedal returns up fine but...

Right a bit of a development that makes me think it might actually be something wrong, I went out late last night on quiet roads and had a play, if I hit 70 and slam on she stops pretty well, but if the braking changes from gentle to fierce (slowing down, then simulating being cut up and braking...

she hasnt long had a land rover service and they didnt say anything about the pads, so thier genuine land rover ones at the moment, so maybe i'll look at some pads! what makes and types can people recommend?? there seems to be loads! cheers for that martyc! :5bcheers2:

Hi all, I have an 09 tdci (no ABS/TC thats too fancy) and I use it to commute at rush hour, and I seem to find the brakes lacking. the new engine will cruise happily at motorway speeds in 6th no bother at all, but when it comes to stopping its a different story, the old brakes dont seem to cut...

Bump :)

Anyone got a 265/75 16 lying about in the south Wales area? Prefferably a BF goodrich. Don't mind about tread as long as its legal, need it for a spare :)

Thanks for the replies guys, it's an 09 on 21k. I've had her since 10k and it doesn't seem much worse I'm just afraid that it'll expire just after the warranty. As stated I'll have to make contact with another dealer, although they are a fair distance away :( but it has to be done! If not off to...

I have a tdci defender with the symptoms of the dodgy clutch issues ( juddering pulling off, tight gear selection and clunking badly) I've taken it to LR and every time they just say its the way they are? Now looking at the info on the web it tells a different story, I think the only way they'll...

Job itself is easy, but on the defenders you have to drop the tank unlike the discos which had a flap in the floor. Or do what I've seen some bodgers do and cut a hole in the floor! Just be careful of the thread it's only plastic so if you cross thread it you knacker the whole tank like someone...

Ok thanks mate I understand alot better now! He also tells me now that the lights came on after he gently pushed through some bracken down the field on this side, is this coincidental or could it have disturbed something silly? just trying to explore all options before it has to go into a...

Yes but it's bloody expensive! The lights fetch 2-300 quid alone (at least they did when I fancied doing it to my old disco) and you have to change the wiring too and surrounds too. There are complete kits available but they're like 800quid I think (again, going back a while now) And you don't...

I'm pretty sure the brakes aren't coming on, it's just as it starts to go up the slope of the yard with a slight bit of weight on the front wheel just spins and nothing else happens, with a heavy trailer on earlier it started spinning the front wheel on a Tarmac road.I was hoping it was just...

I know this topic is well discussed and documented but I can't quite find the answer I'm after, my uncles disco has the 3 amigos problem, and it keeps getting stuck in our yard on the gravel spinning the passenger front wheel, does this point that it's the abs sensor on this wheel that's the...

Aye manual I'm after and preferably a commercial, don't need many passenger seats haven't got that many friends! Haha, is 40 mpg achievable? I travel now 95% motorway 50 mile round trip now, and light off road and trailering on weekends

Hello from the dark side, I now have to travel alot further to work than I used to so my lovely shiny defender is costing me a small fortune :( I'm considering changing it, and being a Landy fan I want something with good mpg but still has a green oval! Can anyone give me a rough idea how many...

Not 100% sure so don't hold me to it bit I think if it has one then it has the other? Cos the abs and tc work together? I'm 99% sure but can anyone back me up?

I had generals on my discovery and my old td5 110 they were awesome, my new defender has bfg, and I personally hate them! The generals were much better on and off the road and are cheaper, only thing is they don't last as long! I'd seriously consider getting rid of these bfgs if a set of...

35 all round as the book says I got in em if that's right?
