My gearbox hasnt been great for a wile now a bit awkward to get into 1st gear - the rest are ok. Today I can get it in gear no probs but there is no movement through to the wheels. When you take your foot of the clutch the engine is under labour and will stall so there is power going into the...

Which year did the Defender go from 10 Spline to 24 Spline Diffs. Everywhere i look it states that up until "94" they are all 10 Spline. But in conversations this seems a bit of a grey area. I have to go collect 2 x Diffd from an L reg "i make that "93" so should be 10 Spline. Anyone...

God i hate my land rover "sometimes" Driving along i can hear a noise sounds like a turning noise coming from the Front Diff. Gets faster as you go faster and so on. I havent long changed the pinion seal - not that i think i could have done anything wrong doing that! and i have greased up my...

Hi all, Just going over my MOT checks for March and i do have a couple of patches that need welding on both my front dumb irons. The rest of the chassis is fine just the part right by the bumper. I know a good welder who said it would be a better job to weld a "repair" section on rather...

Am i right in thinking that when im out and about and see a nice green sign displaying the word "Byway" pointing down a nice little track, i can take it upon myself to have a plod down there in the ole beast. Or do the signs mean nothing regarding rights of way? Although i think it would be in...

I have been taking my engine apart to change the front oil seal as this is leaking quite well. i took out the fan the pulleys the belts undone the crank bolt (that was fun) and i just cant get the pulley off. There are 4 small bolts as well as the 41mm Crank bolt. They turn with the pulley so i...

Hello, A few weeks, well months back i had a crappy battery in my 90 and while trying to start it one morning i had a fair amount of smoke come out a vent in the bonnet. The reason that i mention that is because it has started to chuck out white smoke on start up and im guessing it is...

Not sure what it is but at the front end of the sump (underneath), Directly above the front axle is a little round hole about 2cm dia. Inside this hole is a wire mesh filter type looking thing not that i could get it out. There is a constant drip from this hole, any ideas? i guess its a breather...

I have a little diesel around the sender unit, I have put in place a new seal but not entirely sure that the unit is holding in place as well as it could do. Am tempted to put some sealant around it but what sort i dunno?

As title really, as you may have read when i get my landy first thing will be some gaskets, filters and oil change but then it struck me that maybe you guys can recommend a good oil to use? also do you think it would be wise to use an additive to clean out fuel lines? I was gonna get the gaskets...

I was looking at a landy for sale and the chap who owns it says that because of the 2.5" lift kit it puts extra strain on the prop shaft and i would have to replace one more regular than i would have without the lift. Firstly i guess i can understand the extra tension caused but what do you guys...
