could also be wheel balance- i know not as noticeable on landy but worth checking!

i have one of these for sale if anyone is interested- bought for the 300tdi but we now have a td5...never got round to fitting it!

aghh..thank you shifty- have re adjusted does appear to be better- still not perfect tho!

hopefully to spec- turned over by hand untill each cylinder set by top sprocket markings, tuned all the way in and half turn back!

My 2003 defender td5 has become really "tappy", only when the throttle is applied. On over run/idle it sounds sweet- very quiet, as soon as the throttle is pressed (tinyest amount) it taps. I have changed the injector seals/washer s but no difference! its becoming really annoying hear it most at...

there is a short somewhere! I unplugged the connector to the switch and hte light still stays on! Any ideas/usual places to look at first?

cheers for the replies guys- i will check the switch isnt in too far! Its the easiest one to check! Any pointers on checking for a short in the wiring?

Bit of a problem- reverselight is stuck on all the time! Have changed the reverse light switch- but hasnt made any difference, so for now i have removed the bulb! Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be happening? Thanks in advance! Tom

had exact same thing two weeks ago- clutch hit the floor- it was the clutch arm that had gone- the slave cylinder rod had pushed through the arm- did the job of changing clutch and arm in just over a day on our 300tdi- bit of a pain but straightforward enough really! let me know if you want any...

cant help with the problem however i have a simialr issue- mine wont self cancel thus staying on! I think there is some sort of switch within the indicator stalk but im sure someone will be along shortly to reveal all!

Changed the gearbox oil in the defender (300tdi) last night- put in the proper mtf94, what a difference judging by the colour of what came out it had been in a while, but the change is now super smooth! i would reccomend it!!

only the two! Heads up really- as i said if your in doubt as to when the belt was changed- check it!

No wasnt difficult- i used the lr4x4 guide which is spot on. Just take your time, the hardest bit is getting the crank pulley off- i used a puller which worked well. as i said just take your time and follow the destructions!

Hi all- new 90 owner here! well ive had the 95 300tdi 90 for about a month now! Loving the car- always wanted one! MIne has covered 95k, unfortunatly it doesnt have any hostory but sounds sweet and drives spot on, i went about the cam belt change on sat- boy am i glad i did- it was shredded...
