Thanks for the responses, yeah my landy is a 90 rag top wolf. I thought about having the second alternator in there, and having a 12v system as a secondary. but if i keep it 24v its seems to make it less it mechanically complex, to me anyway. also means I can jump start myself should the...

agreed very interesting read. wouldn't like to try and take it round a mini round a bout though :D

hi folks, okay so firstly not really sure this is in the right place to put this as its for a defender but also ex military figured this was the best place. been having a think about fitting leisure batteries and a split charge system to my Landy. normally I know this is a pretty straight...

yeah... some of the stuff is a lot, but other things are good value. i think its just the case of being mindful of what your buying.

Yeah, that is a bit of a cheek to be honest, marketing though I guess. Went for the older one in the end, liked the look of it better myself. Now all I need to do is convince the missus that having empty slots in one’s tool roll is in fact a horrific crime… :D

Hi, J.A. and welcome. Thought i would wade in on the "giving the young'en advise" :D First off i am 24 and bought my landy just over a year ago to learn in a similar fashion to you. I have loved every second of it. I did spend a great deal of time looking for the right land rover. i almost...

Morning all, Been looking at these tool rolls from Exmoor, noticed there are two versions, i reckon they are just different aged versions. But by any chance does anyone know if there is much difference between them? new one, (i think) http://www.mm-4x4.com/canvas-tool-roll-6266-p.asp and...

okay, did the check again this time pumping and same thing happened. no drop. but I also clamped the hoses and with the rear disks isolated the peddle got harder. re bled the rear callipers and that seems to have made peddle harder . just concerned about the brake booster now. vacuum lines are...

okay so just tested the booster as you suggested with foot on brake, foot didn't move. so looks like that could be the problem... can that effect be caused by anything else? do I need to replace the whole thing or can I repair it?

I used this to do it, http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000ROARTI and just pushed the new fluid through the system, bleeding each wheel in RL, RR, FR, FL order, as per Haynes manual. i will give it another go, but i am sure i have done it right. thanks for the help :)

thanks for the quick responses. I did do a quick search, but in a rush so admittedly didn't give the time i should have done. I have bled the brakes and replaced the fluid. All round disks, the pads and disks should be fine, had her MOT'd just over a month ago and had no advisories on them...

Afternoon Guys and Girls I got a problem. The brakes on my landy are a bit spongy, I have bled the system and that seemed to help. but thing are still not as tight as I would have liked. I have done a bit of digging and think I need to replace my master cylinder and maybe the rubber hoses. Do...

all sorted, just got her started, pump timing was way out, didn't realise the pin wasn't set properly in the pump. thank you :)

okay, thank you, I will try and set it all again. Although, I have been doing some digging online. I think I may have messed up my pumps timing completely, because the pump cog was rotated at least half a turn without the cam belt on. so I think i need to set the pump using a dial gauge. As even...

unlock the pump? is that when you loosen the 3 bolts on the front of the cog or did i miss a step? thanks

hi folks, okay so just done a cambelt change and i also had to renew the p gasket so done all that. but now it wont start. its turns over and some smoke came out the exhaust. but will not start. does that mean the fuel pump is miss timed. i know i messed up when i took the old belt off...

Evening everyone, Is anyone on here a member of Borg 4x4? I know you guys meet on the third Tuesday of every month. But so far haven’t managed to get to any of the meetings. Is there any chance you are doing any green laning or something before your next meet? Which I take it is the 16th of...

it is a wolf, but not one of the water proofed ones. it has a snorkel and everything, but no wading kit. as far as i am aware the air intake was raised for dust reasons not water ones. Shame though, one of those landys that can drive underwater would be great fun! :crazy_driver:

No its a 300tdi, and its between the seats, defiantly sealed. The inside of the box is spotless.

not really too sure about most defenders, as this is my first and its ex mod, but the box the ecu is mounted in is definitely sealed. i just need to reseal the lid and it should be watertight.
