Maybe the oil filler was just not in tight and some water got in :)

Don't bother about that-70% of all defenders ever built are still going strong, and many of the 30% are being rebuilt etc. Best thing to do is find a muddy field and use it. Then make sure you get the mud off from under it especially around the cross members and outrigers to prevent rust.

Oh and buster somebodys nicked your prop shaft!

The general idea is to put it in when wading to prevent the water getting to the clutch/timing belt(on the front of the engine) you should take them out after prolonded wading to make sure no eTernal has got in and is now stuck. Some people just keep them in all the time is going into water a...

Your not going to find one of these as somebody will have had the engine out of it as well as a few other bits and had i scraped. Better go for an older one and get a disco 200 engine as there much cheeper (as there many more of them around)

There is a max fuel screw, on the pump, but if its comming up againts a artifical limiter then its more likely going to be either the lift pump of your fuel filter. The max fuel screw does not reduce the fuel being supplied at tick over so this does not affect the smoke produced and hence...

You can yet it go as far as the rev limiter will let it (as long as it's set correctly) the engine is not going to district itself due to a bit more fuel. Bolt a turbo ontop of it and it's a different matter as LR found out the hard way:) However before you go adjusting anything, have a look...

May just be a value seal of head gasket. If its blowing oil into the air filter this is a sign of back pressure from the engine. Firstly remove the pipe that comes from the top of the oil filler to the air filter box, and plug the connector with the air filter box with something to prevent...

Whats he is trying to say is that some TD5 and the 07/Puma doors have elctric windows fitted to them. How the hell they fit it all into the door is beyond me mind you.

And yess your right on the first picture - if you have a look at busters photo guides there is a guide to making a clever bottle to help with the filling process. I presume that you are using ATF to fill the main box with, and EP 80/90 for the transfer boxes and diffs????

But we give everybody **** for asking any question, sometimes though you do get a good answer - just depends what mood people are in, and if anybody knows the answer!

ffs what the he'll are you intending on doing. It's a landy ffs. There was a discussion on here a while ago about the concept of fitting a rolls Royce merlin in the rear of the landy if you realy want!

Asking somebody who can't get their engine to start to check the output of their alt. Seems slightly strange to me or am I missing something??

Well where to start :D Basily the engine is renound for failure. But to get a 'good' one (like mine :D) the things you need to check are 1) Does it start well from COLD - It will need 20-30seconds of preheat which is normal, and a 'large' puff of white smoke is normal after start up. When...

I cleaned mine up, put a spanner on the nuts, to make it look like I hade done some work to it and went back a few days later :D - did fit it in the end, but got it through the MOT!

As well as the earth this could qite easily be caused by a lack of power as well on the positive side. Dest thing to do is to pull the radio out, and check how its being earthed onto te body, but i suspect if its the earth i could well be the earth strap between the engine and the body (the...

Butif you have the shoes adjusted properly the shoes should never need to be changed as they should not be rubbing on anything and dont do any braking. Also are you having any electircal problems as a seized handbreak cable can be a sign of earth starp failure as it will earth through the...

That's what were on about.....

Sorry mate, was typing on my iPhone on a bus and must have hit the wrong buttons.

But did he not say the inlet was full of oil when he removed the EGR valve?
