    Do all R380s have the same final drive?

    A couple of weeks ago I had my gearbox and transfer box replaced with a good second hand one. Since then the 1997 300TDi has not seemed as responsive and it is quieter on the motorway as the revs seem less. So the questions are.....do all R380 gear boxes have the same final drive ratio? Could...

    Immobiliser key fob sync

    Some have reported several presses of the unlock button to have worked. For us it was a trip to a man with a computer to reprogram the ECU (or BCM etc) to accept the fob.

    300TDi Gearbox and Trasfer Box

    Ladies and Gents, I was bringing my 300Tdi back from Lancaster when I got a funny noise on the motorway. I came off at Parbold and headed towards home in Ormskirk. By the time I got there the noise was a whine in 5th. On the trip to the garage in the morning the gearbox was clunking but it...

    Unnecessary Land Rover purchases! There is no such thing. Everything I buy is needed now or in the future or as an option, or because I want one, or just in case, or.......

    Anyone cut themselves open recently?

    A couple of days ago I hopped into my MG Midget and as I fiddled about something jumped off the dashboard onto the transmission tunnel. Before my brain could get into gear I had picked it up......the cigar lighter burnt a nice neat circle in my left index finger! There was quite a smell of burnt...

    Could a new bumper really affect the warranty?

    As far I remember as long as the fault you have on the vehicle is in no way related to the part you have fitted they cannot refuse warranty service. How can they say that you fitting a bumper caused the gearbox/axle/electric window to fail etc......

    Oh Bugger.....that's the gearbox!

    Picked my 110 up from Lancaster yesterday and headed back to Ormskirk. Came off at Parbold and was on the back roads when the scraping noise started. The scraping noise went away in Scarisbrick but I got more of a whine in 5th. This morning on the way to the garage there was clunks and...

    Key Fob Programming

    Hi Folks, The spare fob was left too long and the battery went flat. Now it won't open the doors. From what I have read for an 07 Defender you need a Nanocom to reprogram the key fobs. Is this correct? If so anyone going to Ripley Castle on Saturday who can bring one along and likes...

    Defender heat and vent controls

    Both of those controls go to the big black box under the bonnet at the back right (as you look at it). They are attached with bowden cables that can be unscrewed at the heater box end and the controls moved/oiled to free them up. Unless they are stuck at the dash end in which case three screws...
