Was it a quality replacement? Juddering can be caused by contamination (oil/water) or the torque springs wearing on the friction plate.. Only other thing, if it has been fried the diaphragm/ pressure plat can warp a little creating an un even grip. Hope this helps you to pin it down. If it goes...

Used one of those as part of the initial setting.

Guys! Changed the cam belt today. Everything went well until it came to starting it. The belt went in ok as per the manual. As I undid the fuel pump it seemed to click itself into place. I followed the book as far a s timing it all up. The pin went in the hole at TDC No1 the marks lined up on...

Thanks, I will do. I think I will change the belt and ancillaries just I case cheap items were used. I will get a defacto set up from the front of the crank. I will pay close attention to ensure correct alignment. Is this easy with the engine still in the car? I do not want to take out the...

The knock is there when cold at tick over and when revved until warm The clutch was replaced with an had item, this did not change the engine from before fitting. The engine went very smooth and quiet when I reset the timing at what I thought was the correct position from the flywheel marking...

I recently had a new flywheel and clutch fitted to my tdi300. I am a little concerned about the diesel knock and decided to check the pump timing. When I set the engine up with the flywheel mark, the pump checking slot was I the 4 o'clock position. The last time I checked it it was I the 11...

Thanks, you were bang on. Faulty diode and US alternator.. Replaced today, problem solved. Mike

Help please, I have a new alternator on my 90 300tdi. This has worked fine and still outputs 14.1 volts at tick over. Went out the other night and when I switched off the engine the charge warning light stays on even with the key out. When I switch the ignition on the light goes out and stays...

Got That thanks, I have looked at another defender and it seem that the white wire with no home duals up with another white wire that connects to the warning lights. I hope this is the problem. I did try and connect that wire to said warning lights with no joy, I will try again.

Thanks for the info, why would both stop working as they are separate wires to two different items? Would it be that they have a common earth on the indicator lights and this is what the white wire is? It all worked until I went to change the bulbs!

Ladies and Gents, I have a TDI300 defender. Both the oil pressure light and the generator light will not light up when the ignition is switched on, I have checked the bulbs, everything works as it should just no lights. All the other lights work Hi/Lo beam., fog indicators etc. I have tired...

Folks I have a defender 90 truck cab td 300. I have had fitted, a Terrafirma 2 inch lift using medium springs and shocks. The vehicle has a role cage and a front winch.. The issue is my landrover crashes over even small pot holes and the back seems to want to pass the front. I have new tyres 285...

I am a little further south. Just north of the plain. Along the A361!

Again thanks, Yes it is more easy comp / p and p days rather than just green lanes. Looks like I will take your advice and go down the used route on newer axles. The front axle has a number stamped on it H874491 or H374491 not sure if this helps identify the front unit. I can not find...

Thanks for the info, I understand that just fitting a new diff would be the lowest cost option. As this is a ten spline set up it is weaker (so I am told) and you have less options in the future. With this in mind, I wanted to know if the Puma axles/ diffs were any better than the TD5 option...

Hi all, Second post so go easy! I have a land rover td300 90 diesel with R380 box on an 88 model year chassis. It has a disc brake conversion on the rear. The axle is an early range rover classic item with ten splines. The front is standard I believe. The rear is very noisy with a...

Hi All, Just bought a 90 300tdi money pit, Live in Wiltshire so have a lot to play with off road. Had many Land Rover over many years, still not learnt! Still learning and asking questions. Look forward to getting stuck in. Regards. Mike.
