Joy!! 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 3 amigos on a bloody Defender... Its not the brake fluid reservoir connectors already changed those. Nanocom is jumping between shuttle valve failure and drivers side sensor... Could have disturbed/damaged it with the CV work...

Yes, well spotted! My family are very lucky to have multiple vehicles but, i'm a sucker for a pun haha so, had to use the Defender line :p and oh yes, I'm getting my husband to take some pics of me in the Defender this weekend so, you'll all be...

If you take the water pump, power steering pump, just unbolt it and push to one side to make room and take the support bracket off you will get down to the p gasket. 2 second job to change. Didn’t take me too long to get down to it. Get a...

Hi and welcome! Isn’t your avatar a disco 3? Don’t forget to post a picture of the defender if you have one. We like pics!

I had the P-gasket fail on my 300Tdi. It’s between the water pump and engine block. The new gasket is an upgraded one which shouldn’t fail.

All the axle and suspension parts are now painted, dry and stored. All of the rusty bits have been dropped off at the blasters, in the meantime it’s bodywork fetteling oh how I have missed weeks of straightening panels and endless DAing 😔 on the...

Welly. I grew up in Taunton but visited regularly.

You ask the sensible questions. We just look at pictures.

Don't normally believe most of the hacks you see on the net but saw similar on a well known site so gave it a go before buying new lamps. Wipac crystals. Bit of tooth paste on the wifes washing up sponge and a minute or two of roundy roundy...

Hi and welcome! Don’t forget some pics of the Landy!

MUD UK do a range of switches.

@s8ndst0rm Put the end of that pipe into a bottle for a week & see how much oil is relesesd.( this pipe should not vent into the air. It should be onto the air filter) Clean the engine as well.

Started the rear roof cut. Now riveted into place. Just have a few nuts/bolts to find for the hinges(don’t trust the pop rivets on the original design) Metal cutting next weekend. After this mornings fun I have made a list of jobs I caused...

Agree, like I said, I’d leave it.

Joy of joys. Thought Id take the 110 out for a a bit, got all of 10 meters before I heard an unsettling slapping noise... And the crank pulley is seconds away from letting go 😮‍💨😮‍💨 So need to replace that now 😒 On the hand made another...

Out the ditch And during the process of getting in I damaged the starter relay. Tools are out fixing this

Got stuck.. off to find a tractor

We cut one down for the 2a when we had that, how are you going to do it? I drilled the end rib off, moved it level with the end of the tub, riveted back on, cut off the excess and refitted the tailgate.

The old roof had front damage so moved the front rib. This one I’m removing the rear rib. All the brackets etc are attached so makes my life easier. And as a bonus it has a enclosed rear flap, removed the old mesh style so have a spare

Greased the propshafts, changed engine oil and filters on my 90. I know it's not a Defender but I took the rear seats and carpet out of the D2 to change the fuel pump when it arrives.

Checked all fluids, looking good New battery - now have full beam working again Replaced a bunch of rivnuts that the previous owner had installed poorly Rewired in a very simple Bluetooth amp to a couple of 10 inch speakers in the front to...

Removed the roof as it’s failing apart Well it only cost £50 ages ago & has not had an easy life(after nephew smacked the roof on a tree learning to drive) Fitted the new/second hand one I got a few months ago. Just need to shrink the length...

Yeh, but the landy’s there to be worked hard and taken on adventures and sometimes I get it wrong. Luckily I get it wrong enough to keep the tool collection growing.

The driver.

The old lady went to a new home today - 1/3/25.

Is it a disco 200Tdi? If so, it’s likely a defender sensor has been fitted, which reads hot.

Roll cages come up for sale on eBay and fb marketplace regularly which will help price it. Does it mount onto the chassis or is it a non structural one for looks only? If it does fit onto the chassis, removing it may leave holes in the bodywork...

I'll see how I get on at the weekend! She's been off the road since about 2000/2001 until last year, its MOT'd etc but still yet to travel more than a mile under its own power! I'm gonna go around and change all the oils at the weekend, check...
