Hi When 300TDI Defender a soft grinding sound is coming from the transmission tunnel, gearstick area. Its specially noticeable in 3rd gear coasting downhill at 30mph. Can just about hear it when dipping clutch. Noticed going into 4th gear recently takes abit more effort than usual, could this...

Hi Bought a 300tdi alternator(as they had it in stock) from "More 4x4 Limited" near Bordon/Alton. Garage seemed very busy with Defenders and their online photo album shows a 90 with a new galv chassis. Don't know them othervise, Reputation or prices. The location is nearby Guildford, Southwest...

Thank you AI2030 for the garage detail. They did indeed have plenty. Bought one and took it to all garages in Morpeth, they were all busy (kwik fit uselss as wouldn't swap the tyre as it might danage it!) One garage without a name recommened Hengora in Ashington. Arrived well well after 5pm and...

Aye Cheers We do normally roam in doric country, with more seagulls than humans. This time more twisty roads and hills to get thru the borders area. With the trailer on the back it was drinking fuel

Thats what I thought, plenty Landy garden ornaments around. New one is £70+ and 2 days of waiting for delivery. Anyone nearer to Newcastle?

Could do it indeed, My bottle jack doesn't go low enough to clear under the axle with a wheel off. Could kick it to get it out. Maybe run as single axle. Been searching non stop online and found a garage in 35mins drive that has rims for sale for £50. Thou their landline doesn't seem to work...

Seems my measurements are abit off. Compared the PCD on my 97 Defender and they are same as the trailer. So whatever rim the garage sold me is not a Land Rover size

Its a twin axle indeed and guess it has few hundred kilos in it, not animals Been told its older than 1992 by ifor williams

Hi Just posted in Landyzone Rescue and got few questions for Series wheel experts Got a old Ifor Williams lifestock trailer. The rim got damaged by wheelnuts! Bought new nuts of supposedly correct type. The wheel PCD is approx 150mm, is this a Land Rover size? Bought a used "Series" rim from...

Hi Need help with a rim for a Series 1, 2 used new or a loan! Drove to Newcastle in my Defender towing a old Ifor williams trailer. Upon arrival loud sound started and 1 wheel had badly damaged wheelnuts and rim this was Thursday. Spoke to Spanner Monkeys garage and they had a rim and ordered...

Hi All Just replaced my nearly 9 year old "Unipart" Vacuum pump. The endcap is popped open and I and looking at at repairing it via drill out of rivets and fitting M5 nuts and bolts. The lover core plug/welch plug is completely missing! Lucky oil level in engine only dropped to lower mark...

Bought Our solar panels from this company(no links) and their prices seemed fair a year ago. Here is link to a example of full kit. More options on their page https://www.sunshinesolar.co.uk/Item/SSP80PPK We use a Victron MPPT controller with added bluetooth module for logging and changing...

Go for it, knowing battery is always topped up is great. Would recommend the solid panels with alu frame. Had 2 flexible ones fail within 2 years! Currently got 3x 100w panels to 3 batteries(1 starter and 2 leisure) All diy and works well

With the CTEK indicator you are sorted. You will learn the setup when using it, and see how long it can run before need to turn engine on. If with other vehicles can always get a jumpstart if need. Or get a solar panel on the roof or a portable one for on the ground. A 100w kit from respectable...

Thought about it. Could made a support bar that attaches to the crossmember. With a detatch function for when opening the door The wheel is currently on a swing away carrier. See the photo on one of my other replied

Re battery then guess you have the starter battery. Would recommend a 12v voltmeter so you can monitor voltage and turn engine when battery is getting low. Other option could be a unit like this More advanced and expensive options exist with dual battery setups and solar chargers for running...

Its on a swing away carrier. Think britpart finest or similar. Feels solid

Hi Ben Ideally you should buy a Pure Sine wave inverter as they have a waveform most similar to house 240v AC and guarantees proper function of office epmnt The printers powerspecs is very low. Thou better to buy bigger inverter so could be used to charge laptop too. I used following inverter...

Abit of a grey area I guess. Lots of bicycle racks sticks out and if put 35" tyre on rear carrier would be extra. Trasharoo's type bags can be big too Painted the uprights in the bright green for more visibility

Trying to find more ways of storage on Our 110 Defender. Came up with the idea as seen in photo. Welded it up for free as had the waterproof box and the metal tubes is from a bedframe. It rests on the sparewheel and attached to sparewheel carrier with jubilee clips. Have option further support...
