    Quite literally screwed

    You've got two options really depending on how you want to attack the problem. If you're happy with a botch, then you could pop down to your local car parts place and buy some 'metal compound' goop that you warm up in your hand and then push into the recess. It will seal it but how long it will...

    Noope, fog light switch is one of the switches to the bottom right of the dash. It's a 1995 M reg if that's any help. -Tom

    Mystery Switch

    Hello, I have recently acquired a 300tdi 110 and having given the interior a really good clean earlier today, I noticed a rocker switch behind the steering wheel on the right hand side, parallel to the ignition barrel. Does any one have any ideas what this might be for:- as in, did Land Rover...

    Air filter box for non standard engine bay...

    It's a silicone CAF (Cold Air Feed) pipe that I bought here: Blue Silicone Ducting - Air Ductings AP Motor Store. I can not remember the diameter of the pipe though I'm afraid. Whether or not it will be the same diameter as the standard Land Rover hose I don't know either! -Tom

    Air filter box for non standard engine bay...

    The 90 degree reducer is I believe a Land Rover part but I honestly don't know what engine it came from - it was one I just found laying around. It was a very tight fit over the lip of the air filter housing but it went on with a bit of encouragement and made a good tight seal.

    Air filter box for non standard engine bay...

    Good evening Discomania, This was how I installed the Donaldson filter in my old 200tdi 90. I fabricated a bracket and utilised the air con pump mounting post on the timing case. It can be done and it can look relatively tidy: -Tom

    Defender TD5 Won't Do More Than 70 MPH

    When you notice that your 'fender reaches 70, can you hear any change in engine note, or can you feel the engine vibrating more when you push the accelerator the last 1/4 of its travel? Is there excess smoke produced from the exhaust? If the ECU is responding to your throttle position and it is...

    Chassis Repairs

    Thanks for the replies. Any one got more pictures? I am looking specifically for sections that have been seamlessly spliced into the chassis rails as this is what I want to achieve. I own a 130 glassless MIG and have taught myself over three years to weld to an acceptable degree. Some bits I...

    300tdi Power Steering Problem?

    Hello, I know there are plenty of threads relating to power steering problems but I can't seem to find one that asks the questions I want to ask. I have just bought a 110 300tdi and I was well aware that it had stiff steering. It has now occurred to me that there is very little, if not no...

    300tdi Timing Belt Upgrade Kit?

    Good stuff, thanks for the replies. I might also ask about the dreaded 'p' gasket too. Is the general rule of thumb to replace it and ensure that you know it is good or just leave it be if there are no signs of a leak? -Tom

    300tdi Timing Belt Upgrade Kit?

    Hello, I've just bought a 300tdi 110 to replace my 200tdi 90 and there is no history regarding the timing belt. Naturally I am going to replace it as a matter of precaution but I have been reading lots and lots of things about timing modification kits that Land Rover produced. Apparently there...

    TD5 Injectors removed for inspection.

    I can see where you are coming from now, although it did look a bit like a score mark at first glance though :D. Have you considered the EGR valve? It is possible that it is sticking open, allowing an excess amount of exhaust fumes to be re-cycled back into the air intake, creating a horrible...
