    200 TDI cluch pedal randomly not engaging

    Hi all, I have a 200 TDI defender which has been sat for a few weeks on my driveway. I jumped in to move the old girl and it wouldn't let me push into gear... I can feel resistance when I push the pedal down, but nothing happens, slight change in noise from the thrust bearing, but physically...

    Discovery 2 1999 key fob replacement + coding

    Hi everyone, Unfortunately both key fobs for central locking have died and I'm not sure how I go about replacing them. I have seen online that I can buy a new fob with the chip, but how do I program one? Alternatively what cost would I be looking at for a replacement from Land Rover? Any...

    Stripped radiator thread

    Hi guys, As the title suggests I've pulled a rookie. I tightened the oil pipe nut on to the brass thread and managed to strip 3/4 of the brass thread. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get enough torque behind the bolt to crush the copper washer? I can get it to a certain point before...

    Hi guys, Today I started a job I'd wish I hadn't... After what was meant to be a simple timing belt change has turned into a fiasco. Anyhow, as the title suggests I have oil inside the timing belt housing and it's fresh oil. Would anyone be able to tell me what the cause could be? Many thanks!

    200tdi stem seals

    Double battery setup what do I need?

    Hi guys, I'm looking to install an additional battery in my defender to work as a secondary for turning the engine over and winching. I'm not exactly sure what the best way of doing this would be as I would be hooking them up in parallel positive to positive and negative to negative, leaving...

    200tdi straight through exhaust too loud

    Hi guys, Looking to talk to someone who has modified their exhaust to get the nice whitsle and growl from their 200tdi. Currently I have a straight through centre pipe, with a muffler at the back. It barely sounds any different to when I had a centre silencer. If I take off the rear muffler...

    D2 gearbox problems

    Hi everyone, I have been having issues getting into 1st gear intermittent. As if something is blocking the gear. Sometimes it will go in lovely and sometimes it won't. However if I lift slightly off the clutch it will go in to 1st every time. Other gears appear to be fine most of the time but...

    Discovery 1 200 TDI idles like a bag of potatoes.

    I'm having a few problems with the tick over of my D1 200 TDI, below should be two videos of what it's doing. The landy starts up first turn of the key every morning no problem, however, I do have to clear it before it runs at a somewhat normal idle, by which I mean putting my foot on the...

    Defender 90 van size dimensions

    Bit of a long shot... Is anyone stood in their man cave at the ready with a tape-measure that could quickly measure the size of their 90's van sides, length and width... Or alternatively any Land Rover wizards that know far more about their defenders than their wives are happy with:confused...

    VIN covered up on chassis, is it a MOT fail?

    I have a Defender 90 that has had a replacement chassis off a used truck, I assume that the previous owner welded over the VIN plate so as to not mix them up. However there is a VIN number on the inside of the engine bay attached to the master cylinder which corresponds with the V5 for the...
