I had the same problem as you. The dirt, salt & other rubbish gets into the mechanics of the lock. All I did was give it a very good dose of WD40 ( two years ago) and it has been fine ever since.

Hi Guys I have a small leak in my fuel tank and want to buy a new one and fit myself (getting more confident now :rolleyes: ) I was going to buy the tank and sender unit but wondered what fixings I will need as they are looking tired too, also is there anything else I should need...

easy way to hydrolic an engine if it went unoticed, change the lot cost of replacement oil vs cost of engine

interesting read, i like the one that caused a fire

whilst you got it jacked up and spinning place your hands at 12:00 and 6:00 on the wheel and wiggle it in a rocking motion backwards and forward toward you and the vehicle . Serviceable bearings generally allow slight movement. Anything more (5mm or so)will require retightening the bearing...

Hi All is the intercooler for the 300 tdi Defender the same one as the disco? also it is the same one as the 200 tdi? need to replace mine (nice hole in it):doh: Thanks

have you double checked your rear wheel bearings? Jack the wheel in question up (offside) and then place the vehicle safely onto a jack stand. Spin the wheel as fast as you can by hand in order to listen or feel--through the sidewall of the tire for resistance or excessive noise such as...
