    Defender 300tdi Alarm fob

    Hi, all, I know it's a topic that's all over the place, but I cannot pin point an answer for my 1996 110 300tdi. I've got a spare two button fob from LR and need to sync it to the alarm. I thought I read that I could do it providing that I have the alarm code (which LR also provided for me)...

    Starter Motor Wont Stop!

    Hi all, Just as I thought I'd identified the issue with the sluggish start, a new problem hits my 300tdi starting up! The sluggish start I believe is due to the fuel draining back to the tank. Now that my drive has remained dry for more than two minutes, I've noted a wet patch under the...

    What's this off?

    Picked up my 300tdi a couple of months back and eventually got around to giving the seats a good scrub! While doing so I had a nose round the battery box and (is it the) tool box compartments under the seats. Grebby is an understatement, god knows where she's been for the last 128k, but all...

    Why with a full tank of fuel?

    I posted a few weeks back regarding the 'difficult start' my 300tdi is experiencing, but I thought I'd post a new thread with the following to see if catches any extra eye's as she's still suffering! She'd never failed to start, but the first one of the day was always difficult with it...

    What would you do while......

    .... having the timing belt replaced? A friend has my Lanny to replace the timing belt. He mentioned that the front of the vehicle is partly dismantled to do the belt. A penny dropped with me today; what else would be worth doing at the same time, rather than dismantling the front at a...

    Difficult Start

    The second problem on my 110 CSW 300tdi - starting! I've just posted a thread on a brake problem - See here She's never failed to start, but the first start of the day is always an issue! She takes a good few turns to start and once she's started she's fine. However, this appears to be...

    Brake Issue!

    Anyone got any ideas? I've had my 110 CSW for a few weeks now and only really done short trips in it with no problems from the brakes. But having now done a couple of longer journeys involving motorways, I've notice a reoccurring issue while braking! There is a knocking and almost a giving...

    Replacing The Middle Row Doors

    Hi All, I’m new to all this Land Rover maintenance thing after buying my first 110 CSW a couple of weeks back. While a friend will be doing most of the mechanical stuff, the body will mainly be down to me! Job one is replacing both the middle row doors. I’ve decided that I’ll replace all of the...

    110 Middle Row CSW Doors Needed!

    Why are the middle row doors so hard to find? I've been looking all over the internet for new middle row doors as mine are past the repair stage. I've found two places (Devon 4x4 and Mode Land Rover) that appear to have them and both sell them for around £350 (inc VAT). From those...

    Where Can I Get a Steam Clean in Liverpool

    As the title suggests, I need to get a steam clean in Liverpool. It’s for my 300tdi 110 SW. A friend is going to sort out a few leaks and suggested getting the engine bay and underside of the vehicle steam cleaned so all the leaks stand out! Problem is, I cannot find one! Anyone know of one in...

    What Have I Done!

    Just thought I'd say hello and introduce myself; I'm Neil! I picked up my first Landy at the weekend, a 300 tdi Station Wagon. I've wanted a Defender for years but could never justify it as it would have been a 2nd car for me. But, as my 'normal' car started to make demands on my wallet I...
