Have to got any pics of one or it's location? Where will I find it? Cheers

Hi, I could do with some advice please. When ever i go on long journeys doing around 60mph - 75mph for a long time my temperature gauge decides to have a mind of it's own. It goes right across to past the red mark and generally just bounces about, then if I pull over and turn the engine off...

Looking Good m8. I have a steel mud console in my ninety. Not as many switches as yours though.

You could always give Liverridge 4x4 in Earlswood, Solihull, West Mids a call (a bit far I know) but if i remember rightly they fitted me one for £220. Whether that was because I use them alot I don't know but it's worth a call. Speak to Chris or Rob.

Thanks MHM.

Hi, could someone tell me what voltage my Defender battery should be reading with the ignition off. And also what should the alternator be kicking out when it's started? Cheers Terra Dog. P.S the battery is a long Halfrauds one. It looks the right size, i'm just having a few problems starting...

It's 90 200 tdi with 213,000 miles on the clock. What hasnt gone wrong with it, i've practically re biult the damn thing. But hey, it's been fun along the way.

Have a look at my page about starter motor troubles. It took me 1 1/2 hour to get it off and 1 1/2 hours to put it on. You will have to take the exhaust down pipe off and the washer bottle to get it out which is done from above. There is a bolt holding it on which you can see from looking...

Oh i see, sounds good if its an every day car in the winter.

Hi, waht is a Webasto Thermo Top C parking heater?

Hi folks, thanks for all the replys. I managed to get the starter off today in about 1 1/2 hours. Took me ages to find the top bolt, I kept looking under neath for it when i should have been looking straight over the top of the engine at the back. Managed to do it anyway, it wasnt that bad...

OK thanks for that, i shall be giving it ago some time soon.

Hi, I'm about to attemp to remove the starter motor on my 200tdi defender. I was wondering, i had a look earlier and could only see the bottom nut/bolt secureing it. How many bolts are holding it on and how many wires will i have to undo? Will it come out through the bottom or do i have to get...

Fixing a steering box yourself is a bitch of a job, it took me 10 hours over 2 days to change mine, and if you have a sump/steering gaurd fitted its even worse. They are quite heavy bit of kit to manouver into place on your own, if you are going to attempt it i would advise getting someone to...

I got quoted £240 to fit a recon box at liverridge 4x4 today, includes labour and the parts. Filling it with ATF Fluid won't stop the leak it will still keep leaking out. Driving it without any fluid will also knacker your Power Steering Pump aswell. Hope this helps.
