I'm planning on selling my Defender and just wondered what your experience of selling on eBay was. I don't actually know how much it is worth so thinking an auction would be best??

Going to go now and spend a good bit of time going over everything. Flat - yes to clunk when lifting off accelerator suddenly but not as prominent as when changing up gear particularly 1st to 2nd and then to 3rd. That noise sounds like I’ve dropped my entire gearbox and axle on the road! I’ll...

I'm trying to get to the bottom of the loud clunk which happens when pressing the clutch pedal to change gear (on the move), particularly 1st to 2nd. It's a 1996 Defender 300tdi It was suggested I replace the drive flanges first. The front seems easy enough, but I have looked at my Defender and...

Well I had a chance today to have a go at repairing the problem. Thought I’d start with replacing the lift pump, and also changed the fuel filter while I was at it. NOISE GONE!! Thanks very much for your suggestions and assistance

Thanks very much - I was thinking because it is quiet until I hit the throttle, that it must be fuel pump related? I have a spare lift pump so am going to replace that first of all - I have read a few posts on here that they can cause a similar noise??

Thanks Mojo247 - i'm wondering why it would only start when i put a bit of throttle on though? Even just a touch sets it off.

Anybody have an idea what this might be (see video) On starting engine the noise isn't present, but as soon as I give it the slightest bit of throttle it starts. Best way I can describe it is chattering teeth (remember those wind up chattering teeth when we were kids!). I've had a listen with a...

Thanks Reiny!

Cheers! I'll change it tomorrow when it arrives. I'm hoping I don't have to drain all the coolant AGAIN to change the tank??

Hi Everyone I have a split expansion tank on my 300tdi. Split along the seam - not noticeable unless the engine is up to temperature at which point the coolant starts bubbling out. Searching on the forums and read it is a fairly common failure point so have ordered a new tank. However, I got...

Thanks lads - cracking on with the job now with a clear head......next week I might remove the gearbox to change the door hinge......... :):):)

And when you post something on a forum and read it back and realise you are being a total muppet!! :rolleyes:

Do you know when you start a job when you're tired and should've left it until the next day.....

Replacing front wheel bearings and got to point where I remove the half shaft. Can only pull it out about a 1/4 of an inch and no further! No symptoms of it being broken in the axle. Any suggestions?

Thank you v much - I was told a few conflicting story's but I'll go ahead and order the wheels now without having to change my gearbox....;-) Thanks again !
