Got the clutch replaced and learned dodgy non landy garage fitted it without the clip on the slace cylinder and some bracket other way around! The sound still persists and seems to be more than before incl hearing it when parked in neutral. Press clutch pedal and quiet. Been gathering quote from...

Yes that is a option. Had the Landy for 10+ years and only needed recovery once. And only because I didn't know it as well as do today. The stop solenoid 12v was missing from alarm.

Didn't try that yet, good suggestions and will do it. Did notice during engine on in neutral and keeping revs stable above idle can hear sound very quietly. When dipping clutch its quiet. So something is loose or shaking. Garage said sound comes from front of gearbox. Thinking now it could be...

If had the extra money would certainly go for what you are saying Good reminder about the Clutch cylinders as the shaft in the slave cylinder came out during the refit. Bought a spare set as a backup. Will get them changed at same time of the gearbox

Agree what Mr Chaffey is the ideal option to go for when winning the lottery(Along with a galvanised chassis) Clutch was replaced with a LOF unit in April this year. Propshafts feels solid and I grease regularely + carry 2 UJ's in my spares box. Very tempting to go for both reconditioned...

Yes abit of filings seems to be normal Just collected it from garage and spoke to mechanic and they had it running on 2 post lift and could hear the sound from front of gearbox. Seems to rule out transferbox. Suggested to change out both with 2nd hand units. Would much prefer a reconditioned...

Hi When 300TDI Defender a soft grinding sound is coming from the transmission tunnel, gearstick area. Its specially noticeable in 3rd gear coasting downhill at 30mph. Can just about hear it when dipping clutch. Noticed going into 4th gear recently takes abit more effort than usual, could this...

Hi Bought a 300tdi alternator(as they had it in stock) from "More 4x4 Limited" near Bordon/Alton. Garage seemed very busy with Defenders and their online photo album shows a 90 with a new galv chassis. Don't know them othervise, Reputation or prices. The location is nearby Guildford, Southwest...

Thank you AI2030 for the garage detail. They did indeed have plenty. Bought one and took it to all garages in Morpeth, they were all busy (kwik fit uselss as wouldn't swap the tyre as it might danage it!) One garage without a name recommened Hengora in Ashington. Arrived well well after 5pm and...

Aye Cheers We do normally roam in doric country, with more seagulls than humans. This time more twisty roads and hills to get thru the borders area. With the trailer on the back it was drinking fuel

Thats what I thought, plenty Landy garden ornaments around. New one is £70+ and 2 days of waiting for delivery. Anyone nearer to Newcastle?

Could do it indeed, My bottle jack doesn't go low enough to clear under the axle with a wheel off. Could kick it to get it out. Maybe run as single axle. Been searching non stop online and found a garage in 35mins drive that has rims for sale for £50. Thou their landline doesn't seem to work...

Seems my measurements are abit off. Compared the PCD on my 97 Defender and they are same as the trailer. So whatever rim the garage sold me is not a Land Rover size

Its a twin axle indeed and guess it has few hundred kilos in it, not animals Been told its older than 1992 by ifor williams

Hi Just posted in Landyzone Rescue and got few questions for Series wheel experts Got a old Ifor Williams lifestock trailer. The rim got damaged by wheelnuts! Bought new nuts of supposedly correct type. The wheel PCD is approx 150mm, is this a Land Rover size? Bought a used "Series" rim from...

Hi Need help with a rim for a Series 1, 2 used new or a loan! Drove to Newcastle in my Defender towing a old Ifor williams trailer. Upon arrival loud sound started and 1 wheel had badly damaged wheelnuts and rim this was Thursday. Spoke to Spanner Monkeys garage and they had a rim and ordered...

Hi All Just replaced my nearly 9 year old "Unipart" Vacuum pump. The endcap is popped open and I and looking at at repairing it via drill out of rivets and fitting M5 nuts and bolts. The lover core plug/welch plug is completely missing! Lucky oil level in engine only dropped to lower mark...

Bought Our solar panels from this company(no links) and their prices seemed fair a year ago. Here is link to a example of full kit. More options on their page https://www.sunshinesolar.co.uk/Item/SSP80PPK We use a Victron MPPT controller with added bluetooth module for logging and changing...

Go for it, knowing battery is always topped up is great. Would recommend the solid panels with alu frame. Had 2 flexible ones fail within 2 years! Currently got 3x 100w panels to 3 batteries(1 starter and 2 leisure) All diy and works well

With the CTEK indicator you are sorted. You will learn the setup when using it, and see how long it can run before need to turn engine on. If with other vehicles can always get a jumpstart if need. Or get a solar panel on the roof or a portable one for on the ground. A 100w kit from respectable...
