    How many kilometers/miles on the engine?

    I'm cleaning my injectors and swapping the nozzles for new ones on my 200tdi. Out of curiosity, since I don't know how many true kilometers/miles are on my truck (previous owner had no history on it, and probably didn't even change the oil in the 8 years he owned it), so I'm always trying to...

    Whining gearbox or TC

    No. MTF in the gearbox, gear oil in the Tcase.

    Whining gearbox or TC

    So I looked into that before I changed the oils and the general consensus was that the GL4 vs GL5 debate is mostly a thing of the past as modern GL5 doesn't wear on bronze components like the oils of the past. While technically EP90 (GL4) is cited in the manual, plenty of people say they run GL5...

    Whining gearbox or TC

    Hi all, I just swapped out my fluids today to Red Line everything. I've got a '93 200tdi 110. I went with MTF this time to see how it would fare. Shifts great, but I now seem to have a slight whine coming from either the gear box or transfer case that correlates with speed. It's not major in...

    Differential Question

    Just from transfer case.

    Differential Question

    I have a 93' 110 and I just installed a winch. I wanted to make sure the winch didn't have any problems pulling the dead weight of the truck (and because I wanted to play with it) so I put it in grass, hooked the winch to a tree, and locked the diffs and put it in reverse gear (engine wasn't...

    Finally going to be a Defender owner!

    Thanks! Did not know that. Yeah, I'm not really sure if all the details, and I know a lot of the wear doesn't really match up, but it doesn't really matter at this point. Will be on the boat headed for the US on Tuesday. The seller was nice enough and I didn't really have a reason to doubt his...

    1993 110 timing belt or chain?

    Oh sorry, 200tdi

    1993 110 timing belt or chain?

    Does a '93 Defender 110 have a timing belt or chain? I was under the impression it was belt, but the owner I'm buying it from thinks it's a chain? 200tdi engine.

    looking to buy my first Defender here in America

    They can also hit $200k for a top of the line fully upgraded version.

    That's a great idea. I'll be sure to document the adventure!

    Anyone done a Defender import to the US? I need a customs broker recommendation

    I've got a freight company already that is handling export from the UK. I just need a recommendation for a good customs broker that can handle the state-side stuff for me. Thanks!

    Finally going to be a Defender owner!

    I very much appreciate it. In hindsight, I probably should have reached out here first. I posted on another forum but didn't really get any traction. The mechanic called it a "project car", which I'm fine with. I want something to work on indefinitely. He said everything fires right up and...
