Bit of a weird one. I've had the front prop off but the sound is still there??? Also I took the whole exhaust off except the turbo down pipe and I can still hear the vibration. I'm confuzzled

Thanks for all the input gents I'll have a gander tomorrow at the front prop

I completely forgot to mention I'm going to check front prop tomorrow, what is front prop balancing?? I've never heard of this??

Hi all a few weekends ago I noticed a very loud humming/vibration at 1100rpm and 1600rpm I can hold the revs and the noise will continue but as soon as I go over or below in revs it will disappear. The noise sounds as though it's coming from the rear but who knows. So far I've taken the rear...

Ahh I got you, the alternator is only a couple months old so warranty should cover it. Thanks for your help buddy all the best

Disconnected the serp belt then started the truck and no light flickering?? I'm confused?!?!!

Okay so I'll check all earth strap now and of course I wouldn't run the engine long without the belt connected Cheers

Okay so I've cleaned the earth connecting to the transmission but no change in the light flickering. I then tightened the connections on the alternator as one was loose but that didn't change anything. Think I'm going to take the serp belt off and try without. I don't know much about auto...

Cheers I'll try that tomorrow

Hi all recently all the lights on my 96 300tdi 90 have started to flicker. Literally every light on the car. Brake, reverse, interior and even dash lights. I'm not too clued up with electricals but I've tested the battery with a multi meter and it's reading 14.9v whilst idling. Even if I up the...

Cheers. I've got a full size intercooler sitter here waiting to go in. Did you notice any extra turbo lag compared to the original units?? If so is it bad or bareable??

Howdy all. I've just got back from a trip down south and wanted to compare mpg figures with other people on here. By no means am I bothered how crap or good my MPG is because I just enjoy driving my defender no matter how much it cost me :). I am curious as to what other people get with their...

Much appreciated guys

Much appreciated dude. Although I’m still a little confused as the description is very vague on that listing. I’m after the three bolts behind the cover plate not the cover plate bolts. Reece

I wanted to do a quick check and see if the timing was still all okay.. only to find out the two of the three bolts you have to loosen which allow you to guide the pin in are rounded. Obviously I want to change these but I’m stuck trying to find replacement bolts. Does anyone have a parts number...

James Martin is here in to save the day again adjust it dum brake side or the adjuster just behind the lever?

Hi all I’ve just replaced my clutch and gearbox all went well. Although when it came to put my handbrake back together the cable was was already really taught and I had to use a set of grips to pull it through and attach to the brake lever. Only to find out that when I tried to set off the car...

Thanks for the reply, is it just very uncommon? Only 97k miles as well

Yeah the one slightly above the drain plug

A bit of back story. I’ve just finished up changing the clutch on my defender 300tdi. Once I had all the running gear back together I filled the gearbox with oil because I had easy access. I took 2.3 litres so I guess it was completely dry. After turning over the engine and letting it idle and...
