No silver that I could tell, no debris either

Not as bad in 3rd but 4th gear is really bad but only under load, i have changed gearbox oil today and transfer box was still full as only replaced 1 month aho. I've been informed you are the main man so all advise is welcomed. Perry

How would I test for clutch release bearing, would it not do it in all gears?

Hi guys, I'm having a problem with my series 3 petrol gearbox, the problem has only just started acer replacing my dizzy!, when driving under load in 3rd/4th gears I am getting a grating noise, ujs seem to be ok, driving along with footplates out and noise seems to come from front of transfer...

Cheers for reply, yes it has always been warm before cutting out, you will be driving along and it will just cut out whilst moving, I have tried to dip clutch to see if I can get it going but no joy

Hi guys and gals, I was driving home from a night shift this morning in the misses series3 (sorry I've got a defender) on the m1 when the old girl cut out, really struggled to get her going aging then it happens again, 5 times in total. Seems if I played with points it would run again, points...

Hi there, I have a 2-1/4 petrol series 3, I have just purchased an electronic points kit and went to fit it but does not fit, I have followed instruction but the holes do not line up so don't think I have the 45d , I have attached a pic of my dizzy any idea what one it could be and would I be...

I've not looked at any gearbox numbers, just been reading a thread about where to find them

Hi guys, I have a few questions if you could help. Me land rover 90 has a 200tdi conversion so what gearbox/ transfer box will this have (reverse gear next to 1st) the reason I ask is I have a rather bad clonk when changing gears, I have checked propshaft and a frame ball joint seems to be ok(...

Thanks to all the helpful people who advised. Turns out the waste gate actuator clip had come off. Put back on and all is perfect. Did find compression a little low on pot 3 so weekend sorted now.

Ok. Yes turns out max rpm is 4500 but it is still sluggish under load, I have a small hill at bottom of my road which I can go up in 5 th in my defender but having to drop to 3rd in disco and then it's still struggling, the power is there when on flat but takes an age to get there. Any suggestions?

Cheers Dave. I will look into in more depth today. Initial fault was lift pump hence overtake not happening as would not rev past 2700rpm changed pump and found this fault, still very sluggish on acceleration, my friend has same model which is a lot more responsive and revs over 6000rpm

Dave u are quite right. It is not being driven like this. This is a fault which has been found and it should not restricting. I want to find fault before it gets worse

Looks fantastic.

I will try first thing in the morning. Thanks.

Is it possible that the inter cooler could be blocked, how would I check, would this present with this type of problem?

I have looked at pipe work and took it all off, and run it without air filter and inlet hoses but still had the same problem. Thanks for advise though

Hi guys. Me again, just bought the wife a disco 300tdi, all fine until on way home today when she went to overtake and lost power, very sluggish when under load (smoke too) will not rev past 4500 rpm, turbo seems to be ok ( spindal turning and pressure building in hose) I have serviced it today...

We had the same problem. Turns out the head bolts had come loose. Did u replace them?
