Thanks for the reply, are the cam belts the same as all the other 300tdi's or do i need to check the engine code before ordering any kits.. any good places for aftermarket hoses?

Yeah i've gone over the chassis, can't see any rust it's pretty solid, first thing i did. Got right under there and been inspecting, no signs of welding either, only on the cat..

I can confirm they work with a wire straight to it on 12v perm (to blue+red) bypass, going to wire up a relay now. Are high beams another wire? previous owner (for whatever reason) wired up the roof light bar to their high beam :eek:

Yeah I don't have the pink relay at all, just the black dim dip orange plug relay (older 200tdi's have them) I've unplugged it and no headlight function at all now, has anyone hooked this up directly to a relay before? So far I've found Perm 12v Switch from dip which gives 12v Ignition 12v

Just checked for the relay, I’ve found this...

I will check it out, I'll see what kind of relay it is and if it's worth just bypassing in general

300tdi, however not sure if they used to 200tdi loom as this was a conversion from a previous owner.

Done the same as you today, screws around the casing in the steering wheel got stuck (the rivnut end in the plastic), so ended up having to snap it :(, i would suggest when you screw it back in to put a bit of copper slip on the tip of the screws, as they seize in the top bit :(

Hey gurus, So just installed some headlights (https://www.thomasperformance.co.uk/store/led-headlights/land-rover-defender-led-projector-headlights-with-halo) The vehicle had previous HID's however, removed them as they're full of water and was under the impression they're faulty as they're...

Yeah my plan is to keep the wading stuff, someone actually spent time to installing a full kit on it, I live quite rural so it's a plus with the lift etc also. The winch is ****ed and i plan on having two high crank batteries with a split charger for the winch aux one. The only part I never...

Haha yeah, already changed out the keys etc, pedal lock, always left in first gear, and full locked wheel turned incase some ****er trys to tow it

Sweet, yeah plan is to full service everything first. It's not my daily drive so time will come for this project. Another thing I can see missing is the washer bottle :(

Just checked the gearnob, it's deffo a LT77 - https://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/defender-gear-knob-stick-gear-knob-lt77/ (this)

Left and up, 5 speed

Hey all, Just picked myself up my first defender - Previous to this I was a nissan patrol + hilux guy. I'm an ex auto electrician and built a few engines in the past, so time to get stuck into landys.

Haha yeah it's a weird one, picked it up last week - https://www.tandtmotors.co.uk/used-cars/land-rover-defender-90-2-5-tdi-county-3dr-east-ardsley-202112220741834 Are the gearboxes the same on the 300tdi vs 200tdi, curious to find out what the previous owners have done to it. Thanks for all...

Thanks for the reply, yeah sure will throw an introduction up :)

Hey, Sorry for the noob question, but is this a 200tdi engine? Also should there be a fan + viscous hub on the front? Thanks in advance
