Persevere my friend. I had the same with mine, everything was correct but it just wouldn’t go in the last inch! My mate lent me a load level for the hoist, after I played with some different settings it popped straight in. Good luck, it’ll be worth it in the end.

Brilliant thread, followed it almost to the letter and now have defender that goes up hills in 5th!! If anyone wants a breakdown of my costs, pm me and I'll forward a spreadsheet. £951 including the disco. You can play with the mods to work it into a budget. I've put a VAT bit on the...

I kept the Disco bell housing and put Steve Parkers bolts in Steve Parker Land Rover Servicing, Land Rover Spares and Repairs Pretty simple job and the logic makes sense. The advantage I saw in keeping the disco bell housing was the drain plug (not fitted in yours or the TD) which allows you...

The good thing about Defenders is that you can fix most things yourself..... the bad news is you'll probably have to. How much does he want for it and how much are you prepared to pay?

About 2 months ago I was driving down a rough track in my defender 90 when I heard a strange noise underneath the landy. Immediate thought, due to the terrain, was a stone caught either in a brake guard or drum. Shortly afterwards landy was off the road while I removed the TD lump and replaced...

happy with that

Pictures at an exhibition, now that was music! Better than the bloody guitar hero xbox stuff my lad and his mates are listening to next door..... only reason I'm still up! :hippie:

Thanks, that makes sense. ELP appeared temperamental when I was re-priming the system during the head gasket change. Why the ticking noise?

Not hydraulic all valve guides checked and worn ones renewed. A couple of the tappet slides were badly damaged and replaced as well :rolly:

Hi Chaps, Long time no speak/hear. Any ideas why my 90 2.5 TD is using so much diesel and making a ticking noise under load? The ticking sounds like pinking, but that doesn't happen in a diesel does it? Suspect it might have something to do with the head gasket change I did 6 months ago, any...

Thanks. Good idea me thinks I'm running out of easy options. Just taken air filter out and that's fine. Ho hum back to the girlfriend then!

Yep 2 in the middle

Will attempt the first, later is proving a bit difficult. What would cause 2 pots to stop igniting, timing?

OK help needed and not with the girlfriend! I have a 90 TD which has been running smoothly for 3 years with minor tweaks and servicing. Always starts first time with no bother. 2 weeks ago it hesitated during start but went anyway. Drove it for 10 miles then had a gradual reduction in power...
