Hi all Changed a bent push rod on a 300tdi defender today, but it wont start now!? Dont have a torque wrench so didnt torque the rocker shaft nus/bolts but didnt think this would cause it not to start. Any ideas much appreciated? Cheers

Hi all, I went out playing in the floods last week and the flexi pipe to the air box decided to work its way off the snorkel right in the middle of a flood over the bonnet... i heard/felt it dying so switched off immediately and luckily had enough momentum to roll out of the flood. I took...

Hi all. The headlights on my defender 90 300tdi have just stopped working, however i can still get full beam, when i push the switch the dash lights come on but that is all. I've had a good look at the wiring and it all seems fine, and I dont think its an earth problem as full beam still works...

Evening all, I have just bought a 1998 300tdi defender with 73000 on the clock. Im chuffed to bits with it. It goes like s**t off a shovel, i had a 200tdi previously and it just doesnt compare power and speed wise. I know a 300tdi has a litttle more HP but the difference is more than a few HP...
