Well my clutch was really hard for about 1000 miles, but then pretty suddenly went really soft, and displayed exactly the symptoms you describe. Within 20 miles the clutch had gone. When the clutch was looked at, there was found to be no fluid in the master cylinder so if you haven't already...

Well I drove to work this morning, and the noise didn't happen. Something's that's crossed my mind is that I reverse park into a space at work and so when pulling off I wonder if there is some kind of wind up or transmission problem that's being taken up for the first hundred metres or so...

Hi all, Defender 110 200tdi 1992 csw. Recently had new clutch, refurbed alternator, both belts replaced, and fan cowl removed. The issue is that every time I start her up, morning and night, as soon as I begin driving in 1st, there is a very metallic rattling which increases with speed/ revs...

I bought a GoPro 3+ the other day after a year of wanting one, and a weekend of umming and arring. I got it from amazon, and got a memory card, and accessory pack (non GoPro branded, 6 mounts for 20 quid!). I have to say I couldn't be more pleased. The camera itself is the silver (basic)...

Since revisiting the problem, removing connectors, reconnecting, checking the dash switch etc etc. the problem is literally this: On dipped beam - NS HL too bright, OS HL too dim On main beam - NS HL stays same, OS HL brightens to dipped beam, and they won't turn off on the stalk. Wondering...

Okay so I took the relay for the spotlights off, and the relay appears to work fine. Replaced it and now neither of the headlights work, just the side lights, but the sidelight/ dipped beam switch makes the main beam dash light illuminate. I'm guessing that when replacing the relay I blew a...

Okay all, Defender 200tdi 92 with OEM spots on bumper A-Bar. On the headlight switch: -The side lights work as normal -On dipped beam the nearside light comes on, but the offside light comes on very dimly. On the main beam stalk: -Push it on, and the spots come on aswel as the main beam (dim...

Sods law, iIf you get the breakdown cover you'll never need it, and if you don't get it you'll breakdown next week. I think an extra 70 odd quid is maybe a little steep but depends what you get for your money. It's about £5.80 a month which is peanuts really for what you get. (I think it seems...

Never thought of that I just assumed that a bodyshop wouldn't want to do it as it's not particularly cost effective for them, and the only valeters you ever see or hear of are the foreign ones which seem to have infested supermarket car parks and disused garage forecourts. The sort of people who...

I was just about to post a question about GoPro's and found this thread which is handy. I don't know the answer to your question by the way sorry, but I'm looking to buy the hero 3+ Silver as I've seen it around for less than 200 quid. Is that pretty good, or should I hold out another month or...

Haha I knew it wouldn't be long until somebody suggest roller painting. I'm sure people have been roller painting landys for a long long time, but 5 or 6 years ago roller painting was doing the rounds amongst the online mini forums and I posted a guide of how to do it as I did mine. I gather...

Hmm I thought as much. A cheap respray is perhaps an option, but I wonder I've found it hard in the past finding body shops willing to respray anything cheaply, because they have to put their name to it, and a good paintjob secures repeat work I suppose, whereas a 'budget' one might deter...

Hi all, My defender will be 23 years old in march, and it's paintwork is about as flat as I've ever seen on a landy. I'm also considering removing the county defender decals from each side, but I might be wiser waiting til the summer to do that when it's warmer. It will certainly be shiner...

Yeh I've never been sure where to keep it. It just tends to float around the landy either in the 2nd row footwell or the boot. Normally making a racket pinballing off from one side of the tub to the other as I drive along. I carry the factory jack but don't even know where the jacking points...

Just thought I would report back on my findings since removing the standard fan and cowling from the 200tdi defender: So my defender had been running cold, and would only reach more than half on the temp gauge on a long motorway run (60 miles+), the heater took a good 20 miles to produce any...

Well I've driven military wolfs with 300tdis, and they seemed slower if anything than my 1992 200tdi 110sw. If there is much difference between the 200 and 300tdi in defenders, it's just the 300 is a bit more powerful, and the 200 slightly less power, and a bit better on fuel (supposedly). That...

Having a bit of a nightmare here cos just took the panel below the centre seat off the defender, and there's a switch for something right underneath. It's a bolt with two short green wires on it, each with male connectors on. I unplugged it and as I did so, one of the wires fell out of the bolt...

Hi all, Just got my 92 defender 200tdi back from the mechanic (family friend so a trustworthy bloke), after a clutch change, and he warned me that the diff light is staying on. He assures me that the diff lock isn't in, so it's safe to drive as normal but I haven't jacket the axle up and tested...

I had series steel wheels on my last landy and when the XZLs wore out, I got Kingpin Mud Tracker in 750 16 and they looked great. Also surprisingly good in the rough stuff, and very cheap. Road noise wasn't the best but not as bad as some. On my current landy I've got 750 16 avon rangemaster on...
