If the transfer box is in neutral and the gearbox is in gear, the gears will be turning but not the wheels and so the oil in the gearbox will start to warm up with the vehicle stationary, is that correct?

This should be a test to see who knows their fuel pump trivia! On the Bosch VE pump the LDA boost adjuster aka the 'star wheel' is threaded on, the replacement does not come pre threaded, I assume it should self thread as it's screwed on, however obviously it will require some force to do so...

Short notice I know but anyone fancy some lanes on Sat? Was planning on exploring north downs around Maidstone but I'd settle for Surrey or Hampshire too. @dieseldog69 or @flat either of you guys free and up for a trip out?

Having not really driven my 300tdi in almost 18 months it would seem it's MOT time tomorrow, last year it failed on excessive smoke (had only just had fresh oil and new filters) we managed through a combination of injector cleaner additive, fiddling with the pump and getting it nice and hot to...

Morning all. 1991 D90 but with what I think is a 300tdi rear axle (discs). I've just changed the driver's side rear wheel bearing after the existing bearing collapsed- new stub axle, new hub and new bearing. Put it all together and fitted locking and adjusting nuts, hub rotated fine without...

So my truck has been stood for a while as I've been making a few repairs and generally been too busy with work and home renovation to use it, gone out to do something this eve and discovered I'm locked out, I suspect the battery has run down as I can hear the lock actuators try to open and the...

Anyone have an idea what the thread is on the big but for the lt230 output flange? I gather it's M20 but don't know what the pitch is.

If I hold the passenger side wheel on my 90, 12 and 6 and rock it there is noticeable play, got Mrs Dave to depress brake pedal and play is still evident, am I right in pointing my finger at swivel pin bearings needing replacement? I also have some intermittent knocking/rattling coming from that...

Any of you clever chaps know what the thread size is on the nuts that attach the lift pump to the fuel lines? I'm making up some new lines and need to make sure I get the right fittings.

I've a feeling my UJs are on they're way out so I'll be taking the rear prop off to replace them, at what point would a wide angle prop be beneficial? I'm not on a lift kit but I'm running bigger than standard tyres- 265/75/16s instead of 235/75/16s.

Have a problem with my brake lights, neither side is working and neither do the brake lights on the light bar on my bike rack that plugs in the towing socket (which is brand new.) Tail lights and rear flashers work, reverse light doesn't, but then it never has. So far I have: Checked fuse- looks...

I'm off to the Scottish borders for a week in September for a weeks holiday, staying near Peebles and plan to get in various activities- a bit of mountain biking, hiking, prob a trip to Edinburgh and maybe a bit of green laning. As I understand it the law in Scotland is somewhat vague on...

Hi all, selling my Defender swing away wheel carrier, needs a good clean, rub down and paint, bit of surface rust but all solid. It's listed on ebay for £70 BIN but will consider sensible offers from Landyzoners. Located in Hastings, East Sussex. collection or arrange your own courier.

I expect this has been done to death but I'm finding so much conflicting advice! I'm intending on painting my 90, I don't have access to a posh spray booth or a compressor/hvlp gun so I have 2 options, which is best- foam roller or I have a cheap ebay special electric sprayer of the fence...

OK so I went to take my truck up to the garage this morning for some new tyres, get in, discover the throttle is stuck, apply a bit of pressure and it goes down and stays down and won't come back up, "oh bugger its frozen" were my first thoughts, so I go to open the bonnet to free it up a bit...

Is anyone aware of an off the shelf straight through replacement for the final section of exhaust for a 200tdi 90? As in from the last union to the tip but without the horizontal silencer? Or would I need to make something up?

Now I'm heading out tomorrow- prob up into Surrey Hill and then down towards Haslemere, was considering taking the long way home via Chichester and the A27 for a couple of small lanes there. Now I know Byways are virtually non existent in W Sussex and I know of maybe 3 ORPAs near Chichester-...

So I'm heading up to mid Wales for a couple of days over new year with a mate of mine and our respective partners. We're planning on getting a day of laning in either the 30th or 31st while the girls go off to do something of their own. we go laning regularly locally with just the one vehicle...

Just a quick one, don't suppose anyone knows the outside diameter of the inlet hole on a cylindrical 300tdi airbox? or has one kicking around in a convenient place they can measure? I'm aware I'm being lazy but it'll save me going outside and dismantling things!

Not mine but a friend of a friend, posted to facebook this morning. Its a red Defender 90 van, she writes: "Help. Someone last night stole my dad's land rover it's red and it's L586 GVS it's his pride and joy FREE Hastings, East Sussex Plz phone police if you saw anything it was last night in...
