2010 Range Rover 5.0 SC. Sitting at the lights and felt and heard a small bang. Thought someone had hit me. Pressed accelerator and really bad grinding noise. Same in reverse and in all auto gears. Grinds when putting into park. Won’t drive. Transfer case switches from H to L no problem...

I have a lovely TDV6 in gleaming black with 86,000 miles on it. 1 owner from new, GS model but well spec'd, entry mid entry level but lovely condition. Manual so better mpg. Open to offers but loking for over £13,000. Can arrange 12 months warranty through warranty direct. Give me shout if...

Hard to know where to post this so I am putting in both Discovery and Range Rover. I have a potentially mad plan but I am sure it must have been done before… Has anyone fitted a 2 door Range Rover Classic body onto a TD5 chassis will all TD5 running gear. Understand there will be a few issues...

My main beam only works on one side. There is a few volts showing but not enough to light it. Can anyone tell me where to chase it back to? Any ideas where it splits or where I test its origin. The drivers side has 12v and is perfect but not the passengers, it only has 3v. Do both sides leave...

Good evening. I am trying to completely rewire a series 2a from 1965. I have bought a new loom from Autosparks and am trying to fit it. All has gone well except for two areas. I cant work out which wires go where on the ignition switch... the diagram is coded with letters IGN, A, S, H, and the...

Just been offered this series 3. Can anyone tell me if the rear windows like this are standard or after market. Thoughts? I am looking for an original for restoration.

Just a quick one. Want to do a 300tdi conversion. If I buy a 300tdi disco will I have all I need except gearbox? My 90 is a n/a so can I use disco rad/intercooler/steering box etc. I know I need lots of conversioin stuff for the exhaust but will the donor have all the rest. Also... if I buy an...

My 1986 C Reg 2.5na 90 has an intermittent sticking handbrake problem. Some mornings its needs a tap on the drum with a friendly persuader... other mornings it releases beautifully. Getting sick of kneeling down in my suit in the drive. Any thoughts to the problem and/or fix. I am thinking...

My Defender failed the MOT on a diesel leak that was coming from the throttle shaft on top of the pump. I looked at getting it fixed and was going to cost a bomb so had a go at it myself.... pump still in vehicle! It was a piece of p*ss to do. I have read so much on the web about how this needs...

My 50 suffix D LT77 gearbox from my 1986 Defender is very hard to get into 5th unless you have the engine speed just right. Miss it and back to fourth it is and try again. I got fed up with it so have pulled out the gearbox. Going to have a go at an overhaul myself. Any suggestions what I am...

Timing belt snapped on my 12J (2.5 NA) engine today. Can i just get some confirmation on how to put new belt in. Is it all three dots lined up with the three arrows on the casing? I am under the impression that TDC is irrelevant as is woodruff key and slot in flywheel? Thoughts?

1984 90 2.5NA. Have heard a few stories of people changing clutch without taking out engine or box. Is it true you can slide box back just far enough to get at clutch plate and have the clearance for shaft. I am keen to do this myself but being a NA engine there is not too much to do to take...

Hi. Just bought an old defender, mid 1980’s and it has a transfer box that is exceptionally hard to move from high to low. Diff lock goes easily but high low requires massive force. I have been forcing it for about 20 times and it has got a bit better but does not click in place like my other...

Folks Got a 300tdi manual with an R380 box. Wont engage any gears unless in diff lock. When out of difflock it just grinds away when in gear. Any gear, high or low it wont engage. In difflock drives with no noises. Thoughts?

About to begin removal of fuel pump following the discovery a leak from the top cover of the fuel pump. Metal plate with 4 tork 40 screws. It is definitely coming from the top cover and pretty quickly! I have bought a sprocket retaining tool and before I start I am just looking for advice/tips...

I have a 1986 C Reg 90 and I cant find the chassis number on the chassis. I have looked between the steering box bolts and it is not there. Am I looking in the right place? It is so old I guess it could have a different chassis. Can you tell me exactly where to look for it if it is a 90 chassis...

I have a knocking noise on my 05 plate Freelander with 100,000 miles on it. I assumed it was the front diff bush so replaced this with no improvements. I heard about the diff nose bouncing up but it was not that. I then removed Viscous Coupling and propshafts and drove it. The noise still...

I have been tidying up my 1986 90 and have fitted a 200tdi, intercooler and messed about with fuel settings and it drives beautifully. I have also fitted heavy duty springs and shocks. I use it mainly on the road but live rurally so need its 4x4 capabilities in muddy fields with the horses and...
