Hi All, Seen a couple of old posts on here relating to whining, mine is a LT77 fitted to a 300TDI on a 90 Defender, it only happens when I take the foot off the gas i.e. approach to a roundabout/giveway, it's not a deafening sound, but loud enough and very annoying. I've taken a sound recording...

Hi, Got a 200tdi defender fitted with a disco1 rear axle. Been getting quite a lot of knocking on gear change and particularly when setting off in 1st. I know there is play in the bearing at the input to the rear diff, cos I can move it up and down by hand. I've removed the Diff and...

Thanks for the quick response, however the link takes me to a bicycle web site!! Maybe I'm doing something daft:eek: Steve

Hi there, I have same problem, oil down inside of passenger rear disc, can you forward any info please...... Steve

Thank you for your responses, will check it tomorrow. Steve

Sorry, I'm a bit of a numpty! Turret and yolk? New language to me, where do I find them on the box?

Hi Jamesmartin, Yes the box is stuck in 5th and the gear stick will move all over the place. I guess the box is knackered, I have started to get it out this afternoon. Any idea where I might get a replacement, it's a 200tdi Steve

Help! Was doing 60mph down the A1 when there was a big noise and some crunching, coupled to an extreme smell (could have been the clutch but also smelt of oil) Got to the hard shoulder and stalled. The engine starts ok with clutch in, but it seems like the box is stuck in 5 th! Got...

Thanks guys, useful suggestions, I will get under the bonnet today. Steve

Hi All, 3 months since the battery on my 200tdi defender died! Checked the charge at the battery and there was no charge, Bought and fitted a new alternator and alls been ok since. Tonight, same problem, dead as a dodo and no charge at the battery :eek: How can I check if the...

Hi There, I have a 1984 LR 90, it has a 200tdi engine, 2 inch lift, modified exhaust, and bigger than standard tyres. I want to ensure myself, my wife and my 21 year old son, will be doing around 5k mileage. I have 3 vehicles, one with 9 years NCD, one with 7 and this one is just 1 year NCD. I...

Great vehicle, looks good

Hi All, Got a defender 90 with 2 inch lift and big Goodrich all terrain tyres. When I get to around 55 the steering seems to pull or 'jump' not very descriptive I know but that's it :) All is ok if I am accelerating but when I take my foot off the gas I get the 'jump'. I've checked...

Got hold of a new alternator and fitted it. Charged battery up and off she goes, will have to wait and see if thinks are ok I guess. But for now I cross my fingers! Thanks for all your help guys, I needed it Steve

When we revved the engine it went up to 13.2 just for a second and then dropped back to 12.8 ish, regardless of how many revs. Doesn't sound right?

Someone put a 'tester' on the battery just after I jump started it yesterday, and with engine running it was showing 12.8, I have no idea if this is ok, anybody else know?

Good point, it was more than just a look, more of a 'waggle', will get onto it soon. Just something to consider, could it be that the alternator is putting out a 'small' charge? I.e. enough to charge battery on my 15 mile run home with no lights on and then when I took it out for a spin with...

Checked battery connections, also connections to starter, all look ok The odd thing is how the lights were dim this morning and now ok Also how it can be so intermittent. Will get under and check earths and things. One thing, there is no clicking from the starter, whenever I have had...

Hi all I put a post up this morning re defender 200tdi not charging! That was the symptom as the lights were dimming, however when I got to it this evening I bounced it off started ok and drove it home, around 15 miles. When we got home it had obviously charged as lights were fine etc...

Thanks, will give that a try, assuming I get it running :)
