Hi guys, I've got a 300tdi discovery 1 that won't start in the morning (whenever the car is left for a long period of time) If I keep cranking eventually it starts with a big puff of smoke out the exhaust (and I mean big). If I then turn the car off, it will start straight away. Could air be...

Hi guys, could anyone be kind enough to shed some light on my handbrake situation? It's never worked as I think the cable is too long. I recentlymade the mistake of buying a new cable that goes into the drum rather than to the linkage outside it. My question is, I have a 200tdi disco engine in...

Its a good point, I feel that the bolt on one is too (dare I say it) bolt on, I’m personally after a clean, all one unit type of dashboard that makes the interior look new. I’m a fan of the puma dash but they are quite pricey for the average joe

Thought I’d create a thread on Defender dashboard options, to see what’s possible for myself and anyone else out there. Is it usually a near fit when installing a new puma type dash to an old defender? -expensive to buy though? Has anyone modified a discovery/ rrc dash to fit? Any...

FIXED for anyone with the same issue. It was the top prong out of the 4 prongs of the starter motor relay, connected to the positive battery terminal. Ignition was set on the 3rd turn. Why this has happened I still don’t know, but I’ll find out and come back to everyone.

I gave them a call but as my luck would have it, the guys off ill, and no one knows what he did.

Hi guys, I have a lovely p38, not that I’d EVER recommend someone buying one! :D. It’s had a full engine rebuild and now the air suspension is in la la land. All the bags work fine and the compressor makes them go up, but the lights are flashing on the buttons and the front goes up while the...

Hi guys, My p38 won’t start (what’s new, haha) It went to my local LR specialist to have diagnostics on why my air suspension won’t go into the right setting. He plugged his computer in and it wouldn’t make contact with the car. Straight after that the car then wouldn’t start. He popped the...

So I bought and fitted a new transfer box. The old transfer centre diff had failed on inspection. New problem, it whines and sounds like it's in reverse. I filled it with 2L of EP90 Castrol Classic (green tin) as the box was a B reg. It poured out, but I thought they held a little more than...

Thanks for all your replies, I've bought it so I'll keep you updated if it fits or not :)

Thanks Thank you for replying, That's great news, so to clarify would this EBay transferbox be a good fit even though the serial codes don't match but the ratios do? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222563650309

Hi guys, I have a Defender 1993 90, 200tdi from a disco, I've previously written a thread about my problem with a clunk. We think it could be the transfer box. I'm going to swap it out, but unsure what to replace it with. My transfer serial number is 28d280979e with a 1.222 ratio. If I...

Had a friend come and kindly look at it today, he's a mechanic and seems to think it's the transfer box. Difflock works, however the power doesn't seem to be getting to the back wheels. I'll keep you updated for anyone curious when I fix it :) Anyone got a 200tdi transfer box for cheap near...

This is the transfer pto cover removed to show the input shaft, looks okay, has the drumbrake got excessive movement? No oil came out when I undid the cover? Thanks for sticking with me!

I think it would be really cool if they were wider, I have spacers on at the moment, but if D2 are wider maybe I'll do it for another added bonus lol.

Thanks for the reply, it's a very loud rattle/ clunking when I come off the accelerator or when the clutch is in (turning off the road for example). Just checked the input shaft and looks okay, maybe I'll check the diffs then! I'll upload a video now of the pto cover removed.

When I bought the Defender a year ago, I done all fluids apart from diffs, tbox and gearbox, so possible could be that. I undone the pto cover today and no fluid came out (not sure if it's meant to) I'll upload a video of it now

Another video of the transfer box
