Thanks Reeves, I've booked it in for Thursday So fingers crossed

I am having problems Changing gears in my 2007 90 defender, sometimes its worse than others. I can change up & down all gears when the engine is turned off so I'm guessing its a problem with the clutch rather than the gear box its self...? also I am now unable to push the diff stick to the left...

Wow.... Just seen your profile pic... Impressive! Where abouts were you?

Thanks it was taken in campton in bedfordshire, it was taken after a fun filled afternoon ploughing through snow drifts last winter whilst filling up pheasant feeders... Lol! Great weather for a defender :0)

Thanks Pete, that is really useful to know! i have 2 months to sort it out so plenty of time to haggle ;)

Hey mrJC, hope you were happier with tonights result! Finally have landy back, aparently it was the rear drive shaft that had gone... They also reckon that the hand brake went at the exact same moment because it had dust in it...! Sounds a bit like a suspect little britton sketch to me! The...

No kids & dogs are safely behind a dog guard... Husband is often left carelessly in the cab to cause mayhem... Has also started bad habit of asuming ownership of the keys before journeys!!! I fear I may need to start stowing him in the back with the dogs safely behind the dog guard also :D no...

Thanks mrjc, I emailed the eBay member so just waiting for a response. They had a few in stock so if I miss that one, but it's the right one, I should still be able to get one the same from them. Unfortunately the seat belt is now the least of my wories... The gear box apears to have given up...

Thanks for that your a star! i have dropped them an email to see if it will be compatible with my landy or not i also saw this one on the Paddocks site SEC500/30 Intertia Lap and Diagonal Belt for outer front seats of Defender hardtop vehicles. what do you think? i think its the right one but...

Hiya, just bought one from Paddocks for £130 worked out £9 cheeper than island 4x4 (had to get the more expensive 1 because my landys a 2007) fingers crossed i can manage to fit it myself with the aid of all your helpful hints & pics :) next job is the passenger seat belt... it failed its...

Hi Mrjc thanks for that i will definitely do this, it'll be easier having it on the back just incase i need to get access to the engine in a hurry! island 4x4 sound slightly cheaper than paddocks. i'll see if its a job i can do myself, if not i'm going to try & find a non land rover, landrover...
