Hi Mates, Hope all is well. I bought a 97 Defender 130 which is in fairly great shape from the first owner. It needed some TLC which I am giving it. I noticed that it's hard starting a bit and though the glow light is working, I am not getting power to the glow plug harness. The odd thing is, I...

Hi Mates, I have done a good assessment of the oil rotor assembly (checked out and within spec) which I cleaned and reinstalled on my newly rebuilt engine, however it would have had 165,000 miles on it and I am seriously thinking of replacing it. I have not installed the timing case as yet so...

Hi Mates, I have this part which might be related to the timing cover or housing, seems like its a guide with a shoulder, do you know whats its for and where it goes? I have looked at the manuals and cant seem to find it. Thanks Mates.

Hi Guys, been working on my 110 Rebuild on and off and back at it again, this time until its complete, a few more months I hope. While working on my turbo adapter etc, I wondered why Land Rover only has 13mm of threads on the exhaust manifold stud, fitted into the head which has 26mm depth of...

Hi Mates, I must be going mad here or Ebay vendors for Landy electric conversion kits are. I have a 1997 2 door 300tdi station wagon. I have to convert the windows to electric but everyone seems to be contradicting them selves or have no idea about models, years and types. I installed a kit on...

Hi Mates, I would like to do a hand brake lever mod to my defender. Most posts I have read so far indicates that the P38 lever was used but I have the option of getting a Disco 1 lever. I would like to know if the two are the same or close in terms of the cable being used and mounting...

Hi Guys, I have not taken a detailed look as yet, but just thought I would ask in case anyone here knows the reason why. On my 97 300tdi 3 door landy, I realized that my left front wheel is about 2 inches inside the fender than the one on the right. I quickly measured the depth between the...

Hi Mates, I have black steel modulars on my landy now with mud tires, not the 10" ones, I think mine are more like 6.5" wide...bought the landy with these. I am not gonna take the landy off road...yea i know many would be rolling eyes lol. I bought this landy because I like them, its strong...

Hi Guys, I know some guys went the GT2056V VNT turbos on the 300tdi lnadys. I have experienced that quite a few have had their internals blow up, 8 months old. These are OEM turbos which came with the Nissan Navara. I have pulled a few down to rebuild and have noticed that the compressor nut...

I have removed my fuel tank to check its condition, happy to say its in 99.9% great shape, just one 3 mm surface rust on one spot and some rust stains where the guard was rubbing the tank. I will pressure wash, sand, paint and maybe wax coat it. There are no leaks at all, but since the fuel...

Hi Guys, I know some purists will say follow OEM specs but I wanted to tighten my 300tdi head a bit more...question is how much is too much and at which torque stage. I have installed the thickest head gasket (no holes) lowering the compression ratio a bit and have re-bored the block 40 thou...

Hi Mates, I was looking for the said seal and was sold a seal bearing the name Angus DPSM 28477V GACO 24 however, I searched online and could not find any info on this seal. The reason why I was looking it up, it seems to be about 1mm thinner than the original one that came off, inner and outer...

Hi Guys, I am in the process of deciding on a clutch kit for my 97 300tdi. I will be installing a VVT on a freshly and completely rebuilt 300tdi, bored out to 40 thou over size with new pistons, rings etc., so need a good clutch for the added power. Being here in the Caribbean has some huge...

Just skimming though the torque specs for my 300tdi head bolts and saw the manual stating that the tappet slider retains bolts be replaced...is this totally necessary? Mine are in perfect shape, threads perfect and no corrosion or deformity, wonder why they are one time use bolts. I usually...

Hi Mates, I would like to change my warning/idiot light panel for a newer one. The pic the guy sent me who has one for sale, has some of the warning light locations different to mine though its from a 300tdi defender. Would you guys know if the electrical conductors on the panels are designed...

Hi Mates, Been a while since I was here, hope you guys all doing great. I have been busy but working on the landy's engine between other projects. I have bored out the block to 40 thou, bought a set of All Makes pistons and rings. I have been looking up the ring gap orientation, some saying...

Hi Mates, I have installed many HIDs conversions to my BMWs and clients BMWs in Canada, over the last 12 years or so and honestly none has prematurely failed and they are really practical. The good thing about the BMWs is that most models had the ellipsoids option from the get go, so all...

Wondering if any HAMs are here with mobile rigs in their Landys....and I dont mean meat :rolleyes: Maybe I chatted with some of you and never knew it. Will be installing an HF rig in the Landy when its done and hope to rag chew with some of you when mobile. Cheers. Seems though there are a...
