Ferk me...I must have a club right foot or summat. I average about 27-28mpg in my 1994 300Tdi...that's knocking about and motorway. Pulls well though. :rolleyes:

An inspection has shown quite a few bushes that could do with replacing on the 90. So....are polybushes the way to go and, if so, any recommendations on which to buy or where to buy 'em?? Any feedback appreciated as always. :)

Yeah...there is a catch....2 akchully :p You gotta be within a reasonable distance of where I live....Rossendale You gotta be able to give my Deepender the once over and give me an idea of what is good, bad and ugly abaht it. In return for which....I'll get you pukin' drunk!! :D Had the...

Well...a quick update. ALL SORTED!! :D And it was the props/UJ's so full marks to them that suggested those. Apparently the rear prop had a seized UJ, s'why it weren't feeling slack, but seized off centre. The trick with the screwdriver held against the prop to check "true" might have...

Ach...just knock the retaining lugs off the back of the centre caps and glue 'em back on. It be reet!!

If you're looking for more power do a Google for Defender stage tunes. There's lots of places in the UK that will do progressively more powerful stages of tune with appropriate "additional" considerations such as uprated intercooler etc. The same places will usually provide advice and...

Ask 'em why they charged you £115 to "repair" a manifold they knew couldn't be repaired, especially if they didn't tell you about the problem first and get your consent to proceed as a "suck it and see" fix. To be blunt....I wouldn't be going back there if that were the case.

Took me sick 90 down to a local independent this morning. Anyhoo, apparently my front propshaft is a 2nd hand bodge, certainly been superseded and was never the correct shaft for a 300Tdi anyway...so I'm told. So, should I go for a new standard prop and leave it at that, upgrade to a new HD...

Dunno about "feeling" the injector pipes/injectors. Fatha seemed to think it might be indicative and it costs nowt to give it a try. Thanks for the tip with the washers though...I'll make sure I get some before I try cracking them from the head. I'll see how we go and update later. :rolleyes:

Evenin' Boydy :) Replaced the fuel filter...first thing I did. Unfortunately no improvement. I'm based over in Rossendale and there's an independent Land Rover specialist in the village near me. People seem to rate them so I'll pop down tomorrow and have a chat. Had a chat wiv me Fatha...

;)

Apologies Daft...yer sure did. Done another search and you provided the correct answer!! My fault for getting posts mixed up. :o

Dunno Daft. I've done a few searches, on LZ and ont' web too. Seems like quite a few people have had similar problems...almost, or exactly, the same symptoms but most sured by changing the UJ's. Mine seem OK but I guess I'll take the prop to my local independent and get their view too. Also...

Heh heh...yeah...but I know how much the last video player cost me to replace when I took that apart!! :rolleyes: Unfortunately, despite high hopes, the vibration/judder is still present without the front prop. The rear prop seemed perfectly OK but I'll replace the front and remove the rear...

Cheers Trewy....I appreciate the response. Always nice to get a 2nd opinion...speshully when you don't have a bleedin' clue!! :o

:eek::eek::eek: Christ on a Raleigh Chopper!! That's a wee bit gash is that Buster!! I appreciate you letting me see what is being flogged!! The wheel I've got is an Astrali...not Mountney...my mistake. :o I think the boss fittings are similar/same but I wouldn't really want to put that...

Hi All. Need a quick answer if possible. :o I've removed my front prop-shaft to try and identify the cause of a judder/vibration that has just started on my Deepender 300Tdi. Of course...I need to engage diff-lock to drive the truck. Front 2 wheels are now being pushed, not driven, but will...

Well....spent a while under the Landy and the UJ's have little or no play in them at all. Checked the mounts for the engine, gearbox and transfer box but all seem to be OK. The front propshaft sliding joint appears to have no lubrication at all and does have some play in it...not much but I...

Morning All. Thanks very much indeed for the responses so far. At the moment I'm kinda discounting the transmission side as all the judder stops when freewheeling where the judder is present under load, though I am going to get the Landy up on stands this morning and take a good look and see...

No worries Buster. Have read Stig's post so I guess it's no good. Damn...there goes my motivation to get a Mountney steering boss!! ;)
