Very good insurance company! fully comp with off road cover eu recovery and key cover 200 quid,defender. Used to have series v8 historic fully comp £100

you know how the speedo waves about now just take the lowest reading as your speed:D. Ok i did this years ago with a v8 and 3 54 diffs,if you take off 10mph you should be ok,if you go over 50mph start taking a little more off,i never got a ticket so should be ok.. Get a pal to drive in front...

ill give it a go in my old td 110,now theres a good test to see if it makes things quiter and smoke less:D

Sound like you are doin well!!. I'll be honest the free wheel hubs are normally quite basic and should be greased,normally have a large screw or grub screw in to regrease. I found no improvement in effeciency on fuel with free wheel hubs in the past-lets face it series are part time 4x4...

could be hard to narrow down,bad alternator can go tight and squeel,as above get a length of hose pipe and aim around engine bay-touch the varius components to try and isolate the tone.. check the vac connection on the inlet manifiold that sure will whistle if it is open!

Hi Got some funny looks last night but i set to the screen with my head torch and air line,it was the little seam in the rubber,in manufacture the mould was out and left a really small gap one side about 2mm (air bubbles when i blew air from inside) i dryed it and blew all the water away and...

thankyou for the help.it doesn't leak around the rubber between the frame it is getting into the recess where the glass sits in the rubber????

19j tickover all day, works when its broken,it may be slow but you will get there.maybe in a cloud of smoke:eek:

i would rule out every wheel 1st so clamp the flexi lines 1 by one until you get a firm pedal if you don,t get a firm pedal then it is the master for sure. i remember i had a similar problem years ago when i swapped out the master cylinder,basically when i adjusted the rod from the master...

Can you confirm if it goes into low range.

hi the screen was a geniune one by pilkington,i used a new rubber,i put the seam at the bottom like the original one was- it was pretty tight to get in so think the glass was a good,do you think maybe the little seam could have gave a bit???? does anyone know which sealer is best for this...

hi make sure the small gear lever is pushed to the right in the transmission (H).

so what do you think -should i have put some sealer around it?

Hi i have replaced my screen and rubber seal,used some cord and it went in well on the second attempt.it appears to be letting water in when i go round a corner i have a nice little tide that goes from side to side.i have checked the rubber and it seems to fit well. has anyone had this problem...

had a 3.5 high compression engine from one of the old rover cars in a series years ago,you would need to spend alot of money on a diesel to keep up,i prefer plodding around in a TD and saving the cash these days..
