Bloody hell!!! I might have changed my mind, this beast is no defender!! newrremedies

Thanks quavey, exactly the info I was searching for. This is the one i'm looking at viewing http://saomartinhodesardoura.olx.pt/range-rover-4-6-v8-iid-460423453

How does the 4wd work on a RR, is it permanent as I dont see a lever like the defender, sorry its probably been mentioned loads, i'll have a search now!

Ahhhh thanks, I wondered which engine it was, I assumed it was the 300 tdi as they used the 200tdi on earlier models. 4.6 it is then, I just need a reply, buying and selling is horrible in Portugal, buyers cant buy and sellers don't seem to want to sell even if the 4.6 is 5k euros, it looks very...

Hi I live in Portugal where prices are crazy but condition of vehicles are good esp chassis, rust etc. I'm looking at either a 4.6 1996 ish RR or a 2.5 tdi from the same age. What are the pitfalls etc. Ive had a 110 defender from 1997 300 tdi so was happy working with that but no experience...

Scary stuff! I was going to see a 15p 2003 defender today, I might go and see the 300 tdi 1998 one instead!!!

Thanks for your help, going to have a look at this one tomorrow http://maia-porto.olx.pt/land-rover-serie-iii-com-extras-iid-476375106 as its closer and I'm a little put off by the wiring, pipework and the not knowing how the engine and running gear is fitted on the other one, if they have...

I didnt even think of it being a 300tdi, makes sense though, thanks. I thought the 300tdi was a very difficult fit.

I'll try and translate the text. LAND ROVER Series 3, 88 '', 3 seats - 1982 - Exmoor Soft Top - Motor 200Tdi Discovery with 90M Km approximately - Timing belt done 500km ago - Clean injectors - 4 new glow plugs (Translation is spark plugs!) - Radiator Discovery - Intercooler Discovery -...

Hi, having sold my defender I am considering looking at this. I'm told its a series 3 200tdi, although I cant see the turbo! http://se-faro.olx.pt/land-rover-serie-3-2-5tdi-iid-473748126 Is there anything I should be looking for and is there anything which looks wrong? Any help much...

I'd try some redex down the bores, it seems to free things very well if left for a week or so.

Sorry should have said it cost £98 for the alarm and £5 each for the door solenoids and a few quid on relays, wire and tape to try and make a decent job of hiding wires.

I'm in the process of fitting a Cat 1 Toad Sterling One with central locking, i'll let you know what its like when im done.

1997 HCPU 300 tdi 212k Kms, a guy who lives in the south of Portugal did 380K miles in a 200Tdi before changing the engine when a head gasket went. All miles done when towing up and down France, Spain and Portugal, and the engine didn't have any real wear.

I get it, sorry a little slow today. I wondered how I couldnt find much online and how the defender is 4th on the most stolen list in the UK. Good idea to keep quiet about security. Thankfully there are lots of pre factory immobilizer cars for car thieves to go at here in Portugal. I've found...

Thanks, there is lots of room under the seat but I am worried a thief could get it quicker, there doesnt quite look as if there is room around the dash.

Hi, I have a 1997 300 tdi HCPU, I have ordered a Toad Sterling one, cat 1 alarm for some peace of mind as well as other anti theft devices. My question is where to mount the main unit (ECU) as i'm struggling for space. Any help much appreciated. Mark

Thanks, or if anyone has any sticks to sell?

Sorry its the lengths i'm looking for, I'm going to try and get the cage fabricated here in Portugal as the postage is a horrible from the UK.

Hi I have a 1997 300 TDI HCPU and a have been looking for some sticks with a canvas for ages, the defender is highly modified and was thinking of getting a roll cage fabricated that would allow me to fit a canvas too. Anyone have any ideas where I could get the stick sizes and any info on where...
