Spent a while today degreasing and jet washing the area at the back of the sump (where the engine connects to the bellhousing) to remove old traces of gunge. Looks like the sump has been off in the past, and the leak is coming from the sump to block. NOT going to flush it before dropping...

Thanks for that. I shall degrease around the area so I can see where the drips are coming from. You may have saved me a job!! You are spot on regarding the cambelt change. I'll look into what parts I need to get hold of for when I have some more time.

We have a defender with the 300tdi from a Discovery in, so unsure of the accurate mileage of the engine, and its service history (easily over 100k miles though). I am just about to give it an oil and filter change (and drop the sump to try and re-seal it), and was wondering peoples views on...

Spotted that one, but too far away, and they don't post. Thanks for the heads up though. Andy

We have a 1989 Defender with a Discovery 300tdi and running gear fitted, Just wondering if anybody has fitted a larger intercooler to one from another vehicle (obviously with some adaptation). I know there are 'off the shelf' parts available from tuning companys, but they seem a hefty price (due...

Thanks for that. Just had a read, and will be sorting out ASAP. Anybody had any parts sent out to them yet? Andy

Do we know any more info as to whom to contact (if perchance one was purchased from somewhere else other than Foundry 4X4?). Not good news seeing as it is probably the most expensive pedal lock on the market.

Not had our Defender for long. Just noticed.... One thing I have noticed, is that I am getting 'water ingress' at the point where the roof meets the front corners. It has all been apart in the past though, so it may be a simple case of poor workmanship installing seals, screws etc. Any...

Could the temperature sender wire be shorting out somewhere? If it shows high again (but not obviously ACTUALLY overheated), try gently unplugging the sender plug from the sender (gently so you do not move wiring), and see if your gauge shows nothing ie no needle movement. If the needle moves at...

Never removed the sender to be honest. Just have the resisitor between the sender plug and the sender. On engine start up from cold, the needle is on the lower edge of the white on the gauge. Would be nice to have a gauge with actual numbers on, but I'm too tight to buy one. Would prefer to look...

I'm having (or had) the same issue. All the work changing the engine in our 90 to a Disco 300TDI was carried out 2 owners ago, and the temp gauge was at first not reading (snapped wire), then reading completely out of scale. For now, I have fitted a variable resistor inline with the sender, and...

Thanks people. Better get some ordered. Thanks TheQ regarding door seal. Andy

Need to replace the door hinges on our 1989 90, and fit new door seals at the same time. Has anybody purchases and fitted any recently that they can recommend ( if you can remember where you got them from and what brand they are it would be really bloomin helpful). I have had a good search, and...

wirral_series 2a, Thanks for the jack. It is superb, and better than I had in mind. It will be perfect (tried it out today!) Thanks, and great chatting with such a nice guy! Andy
