Hi, I have a high ratio (1.222:1) box from an automatic Discovery. It is an Ashcroft transmissions conversion which I bought with only 150 miles use. However Dave Ashcroft thought it was too high a ratio for my overland Defender when fully loaded so I never used it. £100? I am near Brecon in...

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the crankshaft pulley assembly on a 200tdi is interchangeable with one from a 300tdi. The crankshaft locking tool I have acquired is too big to fit into the pulleys on the 200tdi so I assume it is for a 300tdi. Many thanks in anticipation. Renny

My 200tdi (110) has recently started emitting black smoke when driving under heavy engine loads. It is not bad enough to fail the M.O.T. but I am puzzled by its sudden appearance. It has a new head and re-conditioned injectors. Mileage is 146000 miles. Can anyone suggest why this happens and...

Hi everyone, I want to fit good comfortable seats to my Defender for long distance driving but cant afford the Exmoor Trim stuff. Does anyone know of any good seats from other vehicles that can be fitted easily and ideally still give access to the battery etc? Renny

If you are looking for some, I have some unused genuine Land Rover ones surplus to requirements. They are the fixed type (i.e. they dont open) Renny
