If it helps, I bought my '94 200tdi, 130k for £3,000, bulkhead rotten at the top, needed new chassis and any place you'd expect to find rot then it was there, though fantastic engine and mechanically sound. I learnt that the initial outlay isn't where the money goes, it's the new swivel...

I had some like this on mine... http://www.flatdoguk.com/locking-wheel-nuts-%26-key-kit---steel-wheels~1207 ... one thing that sprung to mind was to hide the unlocking bit as defenders are not all that secure, but then I reckon I'd think myself lucky if all they nicked was the wheels.

Not if you use a relay

Sounds similar to my wiper problem that ended with smoke coming out of the left side of the dash, my wipers were always pathetic, new wiper motor and they almost feel modern - install was easy but you have to make sure the motor is set to start with a push, not pull, simple mod to fix.

Finally replaced rear shafts and problem solved, now back to sorting window seals.

I would contact Land Rover customer services, nicely jump up and down a bit - I had a Freelander 2 that had a sensor failure after 4 years and it went into limp home mode, I was quoted an extraordinary amount by the dealer to diagnose and was not too impressed - I went to LR directly and they...

My inside gutters did the same, strangely I never thought to check them before setting off :( I then replaced the seals on the alpine windows, normally a patient person but that job challenged me, the gutters are dry now but in hindsight I'd have preferred the wet thigh than take on that job...

I had never really noticed it and it'd never bothered me till I read this post, now find it distracting and it irritates me, cheers!!! :(

No idea if this will help but it worked for me.... If you have either serial number for the car or the number off the front axel (bugger of find), that would help and don't use the cheap bearings that come with the kits, they really are dreadful.

No idea re thermostat, guess with winter coming I need to check as it never gets very warm. Coolant is a couple of weeks old as just replaced chassis.

5 minutes???? not much warmth coming out of mine after 20

Thanks all, we've done the diff and transfer box, I am always more keen to find the cause of a problem before I fix it - Not looked at the rear shafts though, only been looking at areas that are affected by the lift.

I've just had my 200tdi raised a little, it was too high and had a terrible prop shaft noise when lifting the throttle anything over 40mph, it's been dropped it a little over an inch and it's not nearly as bad, but still there a little. Would it be worth trying a wide angel prop shaft as I...

I'll drop you a note if I go too, will try to as it's looking like a free weekend for me. From what I've seen it's fine for kids to be in the car, seen toddlers in child seats before. You see all sorts there and you're left to to what you like.

I'm guessing you have seen the Slindon website, it's as tough as you want it to be, if you don't want to scratch your car and take it easy then you can, but if you're not too fussy and want to get a little braver then there is plenty there. Worth going down, I try to when my pass coincides with...

I used a cable tie to round the belt to tighten it and stop it slipping, couple of taps with on the spanner with a hammer and off it came.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on the belt, my fan is rusted up so may look into the electric option and add it to the list of jobs.

I've just had to replace my alternator and belts, I ordered an alternator belt (ETC7939) but it's thicker than original, same thickness as the PAS belt, I've had to bung it on for now as the old one was disintegrated but it doesn't seat flush in the pulleys, does anyone know a part number for a...

No idea, but if you find out then let me know.

Managed get over to Boxgrove for their final day, sad as nice and local but looking forward to new site, once they find one!!
