Hey folks Fitted some new front procomp shocks today. Noticed after a quick test drive one had a slight scrape on it and both sit very close to the front edge of the turret. The scrape seems to be where one of the tubular bits is welded to the ring where you bolt to chassis. I have standard...

Hi Guys. I know this has been asked before but from searching there seems to be conflicting information. I have a stand height defender. No immediate plans for lifting. Currently running standard alloys + spacers and 265/75/16 tyres. I use it so much less on road than I used to do so...

Found the problem with brake servo. Slight crack in it. Trying to decide whether to take to garage or not. Are they hard to fit? Do you need to disconnect the brake lines. If so I can't be bothered! Thanks guys

Morning. I have an air leak from my servo, the brakes have always been pants so its probably always done it. The mechanic noticed it the other day I had it in for a brake pipe replacing and when he gave it a swill down at the end of the day to ensure there was no brake fluid left on bulk...

As title had the landy in bits today to sort out the diff lock on my 300, the light was coming on but under strain it was bouncing out. Why do the make everything such a ball ache to get to, they fit a ****ty linkage then hide it under that transmission tunnel which is a pain in the ass to...

Hi All This is not another thread asking about what you can tow etc. I know I need to take the B+E test. I am interested in hearing from people whom have actually taken the test, how long is it? what is covered? Did you pass first time? Had you developed lots of bad habits since taking...

Right, further to my post below re my landy they tried to nick my milkmans landy last night. They got it down road by pushing it but couldn't start it. It had a disklock etc. Made a right mess apparently. Yesterday I saw a suspect 110 black all tinted windows go down my road. I reckon they...

Some thieving scum tried to steal mine on the above date in the early hours about 4.30am. Thankfully they disturbed the alarm or touched the horn which was enough to awaken us they were still at it though so obviously thought they had not woken us. I scared them off but they weren't...

Right chaps tried googling this and getting conflicting stories. What is the position with having passengers in the back. I don't have any seats just a rubber covering on my wheel boxes and no seat belts. Can I have passengers? Do I need proper seats? Do I need seat belts? Cheers

Hey All I've done my rear brakes this weekend mintex pads and discs. I was gonna start on the front but ran out of time. On the front ones it appears you have to disconnect the brake line. I can do this but to speed job up would like to keep it connected. They are held on a bracket on top...

Hey folks Do these bolt to your door in some manner? I ain't got any holes in mine at present so just wondering how many would be needed. Any body got pics? Cheers

Hey chaps Currently I have my work light wired to my rear window heater switch as I don't use the heater. I want to keep using this switch as its a neat location however I can only have it on whilst engine is running or with all the dash lights on which I don't like as I don't want to burn...

I have a bad oil leak from the rocker cover, I have replaced the gasket and torqued it up correctly with new sealed nuts as per original. Anyone got any tips to stop it? could it be related to another problem? I replaced the breather a while back too Cheers

My 90 300 tdi with factory fit imobiliser has an intermittant problem. I can be driving along then all of a sudden it turns itself off and I coast to a hault. Then sometimes it will restart straight away and other times wont start for 10 mins or something it will spin the starter motor but...

Hi Chaps. How do I go about finding off road routes/ greenlanes / byways in scotland. I understand they are not on ordnance survey maps so what do I do ??? Cheers

Hi Folks I've got a 1997 300tdi 90 and it would be nice to be able to cruise a bit better and go over 70mph (where permitted). What are the options and how much faster will I be able to go? Its got plenty of poke as its had a large intercooler etc. Is there a tranny box that will fit...
