I've got roped in helping a fella who is probably the most non-technical person about but having said that I would appreciate a specific piece of information myself. The exhaust has been very badly fitted and the clamp (NTC 3608) which holds the downpipe to the turbo elbow (I believe it's...

Disklok ordered last night - en route as I speak.

Good evening Sir I hope you don't mind but I've posted a question about the device you made reference to - I've left it on the public forum in case others are interested. Thanks Ian

I'm quite interested in this device to compliment the disklok I'm sure I'm going to buy. Can I ask, is it fitted to clamp the brake pedal down or fitted with pedal in the fully up position?

I'd appreciate any tips on anti-theft devices to fit my 1996 300 TDI CSW - the wife keeps asking me what I want for Christmas and haven't been able to come up with anything. BUT on another forum I belong to related to shooting I've just read about a Landy stolen from a Lidl's carpark in...

Very similar to the one I fitted to my Defender 300 TDI a couple of years ago - I had similar misgivings because the original, as you say, is substantially more robust. I got mine from a local supplier (Devon 4x4) and I've had no issues. Whilst you are at it, it might be an idea to get two new...

Just a long shot. I picked up your comments about "down on power etc" and I'm wondering if the inlet/exhaust manifold gasket is leaking and allowing an escape of air. I changed mine on my 300 TDI because it was one of the places where I had oil leakage but no noticeable noise. I can't say I...

Just finished replacing the four front door hinges on my 90 today and now the doors fit perfectly with no sounds of rushing air at the top of the doors. Also managed to trace and fix a very annoying rattle which turned to be the driver's side (side) window (it's a 300 TDi station wagon) which...

As I understand it the legislation on road fund licence charges changed sometime in 2005 whereupon new regulations were brought in based solely on a new formula for emissions. For my 1996 300 TDI I pay £290 per annum. Any Defender after the 2005 date is charged at £505 per annum. I'm willing...

I put my hand up that I'm a little confused here - not with removing the old ones and refitting new, but what to buy. I've done a bit of research but it hasn't really helped. So is it true that TD5 hinges will fit my vehicle - apparently they are a bit more rugged and resist corrosion better...

The Chief Fairy and I are thinking of changing our two vehicles - one is our Freelander 2 XS which she uses mainly or otherwise is used if we go on longish trips together. It's comfortable, fairly rapid and is probably the best car we have ever had. The other is my 1996 Defender 90 300 Tdi...

I replaced the seals which fit on the inside face of the two ventilation flaps below the windscreen. Best taking the bonnet off to do this and whilst they come with a sticky surface - put them on with an impact adhesive - but fit them right first time! Doing this made a lot of difference to...

Thanks guys for the info. I guessed that whatever advice I was given the items already provided by tottot would need removing for investigation - so today I bought two new wheel boxes and a drive cable. They have been on the vehicle for coming up to 20 years so it would be foolish not to...

I just need a bit of advice really because if there is a bad situation looming I think I'll get my local garage to fix this - it looks like a pain to get at it all. A few days ago I replaced both wiper arms on my 1996 300 TDi CSW - it was difficult to get a full engagement of the male splined...

Thank you my friend - you are absolutely right. Advice very much appreciated.

I recently advertised a FOC Defender grille and two headlight surrounds as I had replaced with new - I stated that if anybody wanted them they could have them free of charge as long as they paid for postage. Someone has responded and I'm trying to find the chap's email address which he PM'd me...

Drama is now over - the tip of removing the instrument binnacle revealed all and everything is fitted and working. Thanks to everyone for their help.

Hi Mick I can take photos but it would be easier for me if you would PM me with your email address so I can send them to you direct.

I've just replaced these with new shiny new ones on my 1996 90 300 TDi. There is nothing wrong with the old ones other than they look a bit tired so if you want them please shout. I would ask you kindly to cover the cost of postage/courier and arrange this at your end (if it's a courier). If...

Feeling less pee'd off now and raring to have a fresh attempt - I've bought an aerial extension lead so it's instrument binnacle out tomorrow looking for that hole I need.
