Ahh great is that the 1.22 box ? with mine being the 300tdi do I need a transfer box from another 300 or I’ll a td5 or 200tdi one fit?

Im going to change the transfer box on the defender 300tdi . I was wondering what transfer box would be best to put in ? The discovery 1.22 box is what everyone seems to talk about . Would this be a straight forward fit to the 300tdi ? I can sit at 55mph on a motorway and stress it at 60 but...

Hey all my rear axle seals are leaking bad and I wasn’t sure if it’s from the actual seal or the diff flange as there’s too much oil to tell . Is there a way to check or am I best just ordering the seal for £6 rather than the diff flange for £40

Up and left is reverse also is the transfer box needed a different oil ?

How common would it be to change the gearbox after changing the engine as I have no idea if it’s been swapped . It’s only got 80k on so I doubt it’s been changed

Hi all I have a 1989 defender 90 which has had the engine swapped to the 300tdi . Does anyone know what gearbox oil I need and diff oil ? Thanks all

I don’t think it does I’m assuming this connects into the hole and keeps it shut ?

Hi all . I’m just wondering what part I need to change my bonnet catch. Currently I have the rubber bungs on the external of the side wings that connect into each side of the bonnet to Keep it attached down . Is there a conversion of some sort I need so I can get rid of the side catches ...

I’m about to search for prices on the b puller and post check strap you mentioned
