    Loose transfer box cable?

    Again I’m familiar with the older models but on them the gearbox ones come up behind the engine. And the axle ones just go up into the bodywork. I have all mine extended to the top of the snorkel so has been a long time since factory. Just put it up as high as it will go into a Position that is...

    Loose transfer box cable?

    Is that Definitly a cable and not a breather pipe, the u-shaped top is what you get on the top of the breathers. If it’s a breather it will not be attached at one end (the hooked end) and the other end will be attached to a banjo fitting on the gearbox, axle or engine.

    Loose transfer box cable?

    Throw up some pictures as it may help. I am not familiar with the new gearboxes. But the older ones had a couple of small earth cables for the difflock switch’s etc. and also has reverse switch wiring as well.

    Coil spring issue

    This was going to be my advice as a cheap easy fix to see if you need to go further and fit cones.

    Car seats

    I have just converted my 110 hardtop To a station wagon after the birth of our first December 23, and we are expecting a second this December, so I have very recently been through the car seat challenges with a Land Rover. As stated above modern cars use isofox systems to mount car seats for...

    Converting Light Utility to Estate/CSW

    I think the issue you will face is there were factory station wagons registered as light utility. So the dvla just points to those and says you already have the correct category. I assume you are looking at ulez etc? I have just converted mine to a station wagon but as it is an ‘89 and I...

    300tdi conversion with LT77 box

    I am looking at the glencoyne website (LINK) for fitting a 300tdi using an LT77box. and I am after a little more information on this line from anyone else who has done this: "You also need to grind a little metal off the outside of the housing to clear the clutch slave cylinder, and this is...

    300tdi thumping

    Would need some more details on this. Does it change with engine revs, or road speed, or is it always constant? does it happen if you put the transfer box, or gearbox in neutral? doe sit change when underload or engine braking. I would suggest it is not linked to the timing belt failure as it...

    1997 defender90, 300tdi… chassis

    what areas specifically have you failed on? Some parts are more involved than others, but the usual places are relatively straight forward to change out, all the pieces are available, and if you are handy with the spanners you could do a lot of the work yourself, and then just get a mobile...

    Bulkhead differences

    From what I have picked up on the forum chatter their quality control has improved. But still not sure I will be ordering form them when the time comes. I need a chassis and bulkhead for the station wagon, but that will probably come from Richards, same as the chassis on my 110.

    200Tdi

    Just come across your thread and makes for interesting reading as at some point I plan on rebuilding the 200tdi that had the engine fire. Also as a shameless plug given your current crank issues I have a 200tdi crank for sale that has been fully reground if it is of any interest to you for...

    What the hell? wiring

    Mud do a replacement, but it is probably available from other places as well: LINK Depends on the exact wiring for your model but at '86 I would expect it to be permanent live. On later models it was changed to be ignition only.

    What the hell? wiring

    There should be a little Domed plastic cover that hides them all and aches to the back of the centre pane using the same screws. Even with everything listed above there is likly To still be some spare connections. There as in mine.

    Green bulb holder lenses - instrument panel

    You can replace them, but they are part of the instrument so you have to carefully uncrimp the front bezel, remove the bezel being careful the glass doesn't fall and break, then remove the instrument itself so you are just left with the metal casing. you can then remove the broken bulb holder...
