@nobber defender seals I think

@Tomjones12 do you have a workshop manual? Also the new gasket commonly has the head bolt order and settings

@Dave Nic I doubt if it’s diff lock intermittently engaging I’d start at the wheels and work backwards checking for play in all ball joints and bushes. Also check the transfer box input gear (easy job) for wear on the spines where it mates with the gearbox output shaft

Had a good look at those. Either cracked or have suspicious description. Plus don’t really believe eBay descriptions when they say ‘untested but came off a working engine’. Have more trust for those on here (probably also a mistake)

After a 200tdi cylinder head of anyone has a spare

That makes sense. Ta very muchly

Thanks chaps. Will have a look and report back

Does that often come loose? Weird it’s only in 3rd

Gear stick (or selector mechanism) makes a rattling noise only in 3rd gear. Goes away when I hold the gear stick or push it up. Anything come to mind before I take the tunnel off and have a look?

@dogdog1 you don't need a puller they're designed to come off when hit from above. I used an old half shaft and hit from above.

Back2You do a great tracker service

Sounds like I better just hard wire one in.

@Nodge68 I know that. I’d charge it at home. Mentioned it as a back up in case we were away for a few days. I don’t really want to have to wire it in, although I could, it’s just a pain as I’ve recently tunnelled and tidied up all the aux wiring.

Read a few threads on this but not quite found what I’m looking for. After a battery powered (don’t really want to hard wire and can recharge from the inverter in the vehicle if needed) and don’t have a fag lighter anymore. Really want a dash cam with reverse cam that can also function as a...

@andyjack One of the best things i did to my defender is remove the 2inch lift, fit standard springs from a puma at the front and heavy load springs (i have a roof tent, roll cage and a load of camping stuff at the back) on the rear with Terrafirma AT shocks front and back - i think the...

Use the recommended tire pressure at all times. On the farm if you get stuck - low range and diff lock - if still stuck get out and lower the pressures. They only time i've had to lower tire pressures was in southern africa and very deep sand.

Cracking knowledge!

Agree with above if that’s a 200tdi that plug isn’t native

If it uses the same LT230 then yeh

The glow plugs are sealed purely by the thread I thought and they aren’t tight either. You sure you haven’t over sized the hole. I had a glow plus strip pretty much all the thread out when I took it out. Just enough thread left for the new one and it’s not leaked past. Don’t think it take...
