Yes I think you're right. I slackened off the bleed nipple and the pedal went to the floor so definitely a clutch issue. Will be dropping the gearbox on Wednesday and I'll let you now if you're correct! Cheers MickW

Yes I will check that, otherwise it's going to be a gearbox out job!

I will have a closer look at the pivot maybe that is the issue after all...

Hi dag019 Thanks for the message. I have had that issue before, which was just caused by a combination of the hydraulic fluid being a bit low and the pivot point needing some lubrication. This is different in that the pedal goes about halfway down and then won't budge, and the clutch doesn't...

Hi folks Hope you're all keeping well My 110 300tdi has developed a fault with the clutch pedal jamming halfway down. The clutch is not engaging at all. This is not the common pivot point issue. Has anyone had anything similar happen and if so was it possible to remedy it without dropping...

Hi yes it does, but according to this https://paintman.co.uk/shop/land-rover-belize-green-lrc756/ Belize Green was only used between 2002-2003 and mine's a '97... I have been told it's Coniston Green LRC570 but just wanted a 2nd opinion before I go ahead and order a load of paint :)

Hi all I have been looking for the colour code for my Defender - looked on the VIN plate but that's blank! It's Coniston Green but there are two different shades, and they changed over in '97 - take a wild guess at which year my Landy was made :( I have taken a snap with my trusty iphone - I...

Thanks Flossie The gauge is showing about 1/4 full regardless of tank contents, which from what I have read here and elsewhere makes me think it's looking like an earthing issue at the tank end... Will do some digging and report back :)

Hi Just wanted to ask if there are any common issues with the above - mine seems to be stuck! Wondering where to start looking for faults, sender or the gauge itself - any tips/tests I could run etc would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance Mick

Thinking maybe a tipping trailer would make a good 'donor'

Wow some serious conversions going on there! Mine's a HiCap 110 p/u and I was wondering of it would be possible to use the original tub and adapt the chassis to accommodate pump/ram etc but apparently it's not do-able

Thanks for the response Kev I had a feeling it wouldn't be very straightforward as I haven't come across any ...

Hi New here but jumping straight in with this: Has anyone ever done a conversion from pick up to tipper? Just wondering how feasible this would be and if anyone's ever done it/seen it done before...? Cheers Mick

Thank you :)

Hi All Just about to take on a '97 110 Defender Pick Up to replace my old Hilux which has served me well but is now looking a bit like Jeremy Clarkson's! Also I do some towing so this vehicle is going to be far better for that than the Hilux, which is a bit of a lightweight in that department...
