Good afternoon all. I have been looking online at what's best to seal a transfer box and it seems a bit grey. Some suggest using 'paper' gaskets, some suggest paper gaskets and silicone, others just say silicone... I have two different LT230s, one I'm overhauling and one temporary. Both have a...

Good afternoon all, I have had enough of paying a fortune to find and reset faults on the old girl- it's costing me far too much money when I can fix problems in my spare time. So I have the typical 3 amigos, I have an ABS warning light and most frustrating of all, an immobiliser that has...

Good afternoon all, I replaced my speedo cable after it suddenly stopped working, the cable was old and battered so I assumed that it had simply seen it's day, But the speedo still isn't working, I have bolted to the transfer case and it's all in sat nice and flush with the housing, behind...

Good evening all, I have just acquired a second hand LT230 transfer box G suffix. I plan to swap out mine which has a very loud bearing whine. Whilst the one I'm looking to put in seems in good condition running gear wise and no play in bearings I'm tempted to just rebuild it before putting...

Good afternoon all, I have taken all the bolts out of the lt230 in the below picture, but she just won't budge. I can see that it's free, when I move the box up and down it's got a small amount of separation. Am I missing something here, is there a bearing or something that's stopping the...

Good evening all, Can I swap my tired discovery LT77 for a R380, my discovery 200tdi currently has a short bell housing. Thank you all!

Good afternoon all. My 1998 Discovery 2 TD5 10p suddenly broke down, steering went stiff, brake pedal stiff and engine cut out. Engine turns over fine, but doesn't start. Won't bump start either. I can hear the pump pushing fuel, albeit struggling. As per the video there is a trickle noise by...

Good afternoon all, So far up to date I have replaced 4 sets of handles, one door latch assembly, 4 sets of the interior plastic door card locks and today my door latch assembly has failed again! Needless to say I think I'm buying rubbish parts, the doors do close really well, but the locking...

Hi all, Just looking to move my air filter to allow for a diesel heater that I'm fitting, it's a 200tdi discovery engine in a Landy 90. On the 300tdi the air filter is sat above the lift pump, on the 200its above the manifold. My question is, will the mount for a 300tdi bolt to the same place...

Good morning all and happy new year! As the title suggests, I'm having trouble with the front prop shaft on my discovery 2. The prop shaft UJ has failed taking with it the outer casing of the prop on the double cardon end which means it's not as simple as changing the UJ :( The current prop...

Hi all, I have a LT77 gearbox and LT230 transfer from a Discovery 1 which has become so loud that I can't bare it any longer. I have the option to put an R380 box and LT230 in for free, what would I need to change mount wise to make it fit? I'm also a bit skeptical as I don't know if I...

Good evening all, I currently have some BF Goodrich -285 75 R16 - KM2's - mud terrains on my defender 90 (discovery 1 axles). It appears that BF Goodrich don't sell these anymore which is quite gutting, they have lasted a very long time and are now starting to crack. BFG only seem to offer...

Good afternoon! Just a quick question about Diesel heaters and fueling, If I was to plumb directly into the fuel tank, would I need to put in a 12v inline pickup? I will be having the diesel heater under my cubby box (land rover 90). Thanks all!

Good afternoon everyone, I have a Land Rover 90 which I'm looking to install a diesel heater in. I was wondering what setup everyone is running and if I could remove the old heater matrix and put the diesel heater there instead, using the existing ducts. Has anyone tried this? Thank you!

So the official government stance on tax and MOT exemption is as follows: "You can apply to stop paying for vehicle tax from 1 April 2024 if your vehicle was built before 1 January 1984. You must tax your vehicle even if you do not have to pay." Now does this mean that anything after 1984...

Good morning all, I have recently changed the timing belt on my 200 TDI, during which I did a reset of the pump which appeared to be advanced a few teeth (lined up with the flywheel etc). I had fueling problems prior to this (bumpy idle) but this problem seemed to be resolved once I reset the...

Good afternoon, Just a quick question regarding the slave cylinder push rod, or pin : When I push the slave cylinder on to the push rod it needs force to push it on, the rod pushes the piston back in the slave, by quite a way so in a sense, there is constant pressure there. Is this correct...

Good evening everyone. The clutch on my Discovery 2 1999 has failed- about a year ago I had a Roadspec LOF clutch fitted, by a garage and ever since then it has been slipping when I really put my foot down. Now it has completely stopped working, put the clutch down, nothing happens but...

Hi all, I have a 200 TDI defender which has been sat for a few weeks on my driveway. I jumped in to move the old girl and it wouldn't let me push into gear... I can feel resistance when I push the pedal down, but nothing happens, slight change in noise from the thrust bearing, but physically...
