Thanks for the helpful replys, Following a phone call to ashcrofts, they told be straight away that i had a wolf type rear axle that housed a 4 pinion diff from a p38 that now has a locker fitted that required a spacer ring to fit as it was a p38 diff. The front diff is stanard defender...

Many thanks. Will try to get it fitted on \Saturday. Will let you know how it goes. Looking forward to the improvement in performance. David

Hi. Just got an EGR bypass valve today. Is it difficult to fit & what do I do with the vacum pipe when I disconnect it from the ERG valve? Is there anything else I need to do when I am fitting this? Many Thanks. You are all great for advice David

Hi guys, Have a 2003 110 with a rover rear axle, the number on the casing is hrc2604, is this a 4 pinion diff? and has the front axle got a 4 pinion diff too? Any help? Thanks.

I’ve a 2003 Defender 110 SW with 65,000 mile, I’ve bypassed the mid box, back box and cat from the exhaust, making it a home-make straight thru system, I’ve fitted a home-made egr by-pass, silicone hoses, and an itg air filter, and I’m running 285/75 16 BFG muds and was getting about 27 mpg...

I've done this before for a mate that had a range rover/ 90 hybrid, its a pain in the rocks with pipes runing from all angles, you'd be much better off just fitting a stanard or performance intercooler with the pipe in the right place.

Thanks for that. My FreeLAnder rear door has not given me bother in some time now. I hope the WD40 that I sprayed everywhere has helped and that it will be a long time until I have to strip the doos panel out to see whats inside. At least I know where to come for help. Again Thanks David

Hi ALL. Many thanks for all the advice. I eventually go round to sorting the problem / problems. The air box was not blocked, Pity as this would have been the simlpeist thing to fix. Gasket between air box & heated box perished, but not the main problem. So removed heater box, Well it fell...

Many thanks for your ideas. I will have a look on Saturday, have been missing for a few days. Yes when the door is open & I actviate the door handle I can hear the release motor making noise. Will keep you posted.

Hi Again. My '06 TD4 back door is giving intermittend problem. Sometimes when I close the door the lock does not engage the receiver and the door hops back open. When the lock does not engage the glass does not move up either. I have sprayed WD40 ibto the lock mechanism and this seems to help...

Hi there. I have a 05 TD4. When I purchased it Land Rover grage said it was safe to leave it for 100Km. Is that a bit long? Plan to change it next service 90Km

Thanks for all the advice. I will have a go at the weekend and let you know what I find in the air intake. Thanks David

Hi. My 1987 110 windows fog up all the time. Despite having the heater on full blast with great heat coming up from the vents. In fact it is worse with the heater on full blast. Don't know if its the heater of somethign else at fault. Fitted new fan but no improvement. My series does not do...

Thanks for the advice, I will take it on board. Just want to get my Series back on the road.

I think its more than seals. Oil comes out throught the top of gearbox. I think there was an effort made some time ago to replace shins etc within this gear box and it may have been put back together a little wrong. Was thinking that a replacement / exchange unit might be the way to go if I...

Morning. I have a Series 111 with a very tired & leaky gearbox. Vehicle has a Dihatus diesel engine fitted. Can anyone advise me on the possibility of fitting the Dihatsu gear box to Series 111 or would I be better getting an exchange unit for my Series. I am anxious to get my Series back on...

Hi there. My TD4 has teh filter behind the rear wheel. Can anyone tell me when it should be changed. I have nerly 60K miles covered and this filter was never changed yet. Is it a big job to change it? Thanks David

Hi there. I have a 1987 110 and recently my son ( My Mechanic??)was working on the servo. Well the bottom line is I have lost the vin plate that should be there and when I went to have the vehicle tested yesterday the garage refused to do the test because they could not read a chassis number...

Lads, I removed the clutch from a 2002 defender. The problem is that there is play in the flywheel. Can anyone tell me how much play is aloud? Regards David

Your a CLUTCH. My Land Rover garage took in me FreeLander today to repair the clutch under warranty. So all going well I will be back motoring shortly. In the mean time I have me Series III to keep me going. Will keep you posted, David
