    Defender 90 300 Tdi - Coolant Recommendation Thread

    Hi all, Seen a few postings regarding coolant on here, but many of them are over 10 or 12 years old now. Not sure if things have moved on in that time or not? I am going to be flushing my radiator and cooling system in coming weeks and replacing my anti-freeze. I am not entirely sure what I...

    Looking at Intercooler Options (nothing too crazy)

    So I bought the cheaper Gravity performance one which looks quite decent for money. does any know though if I have to remove the front plastic LR grille to get the radiator frame out? Apparently there is some bolts, Reason i ask is I have a nudge bar with wired up spotlights on the front and I...

    Looking at Intercooler Options (nothing too crazy)

    Thanks I think I might go for Gravity one then? Regarding install does the radiator have to come out as well? The limited videos I have seen they all seem to take the radiator out too, but to me it looks like it would just slide out without needing to do that?

    Looking at Intercooler Options (nothing too crazy)

    So was told by a mate other day that my Intercooler is looking a bit worse for wear, (it definitely looks a bit shabby and tired) I was thinking of replacing it or upgrading it, but tbh I don't know what to go for. The prices seem to vary wildly from about £100 for something like this...

    Defender weird humming chirping noise at the back Wheel

    We’ve been doing some work on my 90 CSW and it involved taking the two front wheels off. We didn’t at all touch the rear wheels, but since finishing the work and putting wheels on this sound has appeared at the back end or so it sounds like. The drivers side rear wheel seems to make a...

    Does my clutch have too much free play? 90 300 TDI CSW

    Is there any kind of video or guide in regards what to adjust? I did grease inside a small box below the master cylinder about six months back or so as the clutch had a horrendous squeak and since then it’s been silent. Wonder if the grease has maybe loosened it up a little bit too much?

    Does my clutch have too much free play? 90 300 TDI CSW

    Maybe I’m just being paranoid, Defender never really struggles getting in gear and the clutch isn’t slipping or anything, my gear change is perfectly normal But it seems the free play at the start of the clutch is a bit excessive maybe?? It’s only something I’ve recently picked up on. I’ve...

    300 TDI LED dash upgrade

    Few pics of During and after my recent install to LED. someone did say however that pretty much all the T10 LEDS other than a brand called OSRAM are a basically all major fire risk? I don’t know if they were just being overly pedantic or not. Just wondered if anyone could shed any light? Not...

    1999 300 TDI 90 CSW what does the 5 amp fuse in slot 20 do?

    sorry it was the main alarm control unit in the dash behind the binnacle, they are often a main failure point can suffer corrosion and poor quality from manufacture. mate of mine is a qualified auto electrician and sorted it though, alarm back now all working. was just a dodgy alarm box.

    Rust Treating advice

    Thanks both, it’s going to cost about £2.5 to £3k for full on replacements of both body caps. I also don’t have the time or resources to replace the cappings yet with my dad. This would’ve been something we’d have looked at doing ourselves if he was in better health, but unfortunately he has a...

    Rust Treating advice

    So the steel body capping on driver side has a bit of a leaky seal and has got some surface rusting from the inside out. Being a CSW this rust was pretty much all hidden under the plastic trim on the rear. There was a little bit of surfacing rusting near driver side door pillar of the capping...
