The series 1 I look after for the owner needs new front lower shock bushes. Would i right to think they are the same bushes as the defender anti roll bar bushes? When searching nothing much comes up about them

The series one I look after has a Weber 34 ICH on it. She’s had a lot of bother with water in the fuel and the carb has got quite powdery inside. I’ve cleaned it all out a few times but still won’t run well. Will idle happily enough but won’t rev without bogging down. The owner has said to get a...

I have a diesel leak down the back of the engine so I’m assuming the regulator is leaking. I see you can buy a complete one for £75 or get a refurb kit for around £25. Would the unknown brand new one be a better bet or should I keep the original one and put in new seals/gaskets ??

I stopped me landy today to speak to someone and kept hearing a click click noise. It got worse so I took cover of the fuse box and felt along and found the brown one clicking away quite happily. Took keys out and it didn’t stop. Started it and checked everything and all was well. Pulled the...

I thought I better think about changing the engine/fuel type on the v5 for me defenderer but reading up on dvla website I’m not sure how to proceed. This is what evidence they want, but since I didn’t buy the engine/gearbox or pay a garage to fit it I’m a bit stuck. Only thing I can think of is...

Engine revs have been staying up on most but not all gear changes since I got the defender in May. Have read up about it and everything pointed towards the clutch switch. I had tried disconnecting plug and crossing plug without any change. Got time today to fit a new switch and it’s still the...

I’m removing a 3.9 out of a discovery and was wondering about the fuse box under the bonnet. It has fuel pump and injector fuses so I assume I need to keep it. There’s a feed from the engine in one end and a big bundle of wires from the other end going into the dash. I would keep the engine feed...

My 1994 300tdi 90 is needing a new exhaust. The down pipe is good but I would like to get away from the rear section that does a 180 degree turn (esr2382). Would the later 300tdi short centre box (esr4526) and straight through rear section (esr4527) fit onto the existing down pipe?

I was changing the front bearing on the transfer box as it was completely shot. Once the shaft came out and I got the bearing off the shaft the spacer behind it fell off. Looking at it, it is flat on one side and bevelled on the other. Can anyone tell me which way round it goes or is it not...

I'm thinking of build a v8 defender on a 90 chassis. Richards do a normal v8 chassis and one for the Nas/ 50th anniversary models which have a rear fuel tank. I have a complete discovery with a 3.9 auto and wondered if the discovery fuel tank would fit the Nas tank brackets as this would let me...

I bought a vdo fuel gauge for the defender 90 years ago but never fitted it. I'm wanting to fit it now but when I'm looking at sender units, most places sell one gauge for a dip type sender and one for an arm type. I've no idea what kind of gauge I have. Is there any way of identifying what kind...

hi, I have searched the net and can't find an answer anywhere. I have just acquired a 97 discovery 300tdi auto. It's totally rotten but has a good engine and gearbox. I fancy the challenge of fitting it into my 94 defender which has a 300tdi in it. The disco engine has edc and I know everyone...

hi, I've been reading this forum for a couple of years and decided it was time to say hello. I have had a 300tdi 90 truck cab for about 10 years that I use for work and have totally rebuilt it over the years. I got another 300tdi 90 truck cab about 3 years ago and rebuilt it. I got a military...
