Hi all, I have finally decided it's time to part with my Defender 90,Its a 1994 van.I have owned it for the last 16 years & in that time it has had just about everything done. I'll try to list the main stuff,but am sure I'll miss things. ENGINE. 1994,300tdi,fully rebuilt in 2012 with all new...

OK. Bear with me here peeps. A few weeks ago,I came to move my 300tdi 90,& no brakes.Fluid reservoir was empty. There was no signs of a major leak,but a slight leak on one of the front calipers,so, assumed that was the problem. So,changed the front calipers for a bit of an upgrade to 110...

Hi peeps. Just back from a week in Corsica. I went last May with a mate,purely to drive the off road tracks.But whilst there,thought I need to come again with my gal. The whole island is totaly stunning.Even if you don't venture off road. One track I didn't find in May last year was the...

OK,guys. Last weekend I replaced the seals on the drop arm steering box of my mates 300tdi. An interesting job,to say the least. Anyhoooow. I was reversing it into the garage yesterday to change the cam belt.& the steering box seal blew out.I had somehow pushed the C clip & the seal...

Good evening gents. As we all know,owning a Defender or two,means on going maintainence & modification. So during the last 10 years of owning my 300tdi,I've done pretty much everything. Though one job that needed doing from day 1,was the doors either replacing or refurbishing. So,I picked up...

I have been planning a trip to Corsica for a while now. So,we got back from a 6 day trip a couple of weeks ago. I did quite a lot of research to plot off road routes mainly from Wickiloc.I only planned to do tracks graded as difficult or expert only,as the lesser graded tracks,I find you could...

Hi all. Does anyone know the current weather conditions in the Spanish Pyrenees,specificaly Catalonia. I have looked on the usual weather web sites & temperatures are up.But,I could do with knowing how much snow is left on the high mountain passes though. I'm looking to have a few days down...

Hello lads & lasses I have a bizzar problem with the headlight ON light on the dash.It stays on all the time,wether the lights are on or not.Not causing any other problems,except bugging me.:mad: Can anyone give any ideas where to start looking? Cheers Marc

After spending the last 2 days replacing the seal at the rear of the flywheel,I finaly got everything back together,tried the clutch & the pedal went straight to the floor.I looked underneath,there was clutch fluid leaking out of the wading plug hole in the bell housing. I took out the slave...

Theres a bit of a story behind this one,so bear with me. Last May whilst in the Pyrenees my 300tdi started running a bit hot,not off the scale,just touching the red area on the gauge. So me thinks,thermostat is Fubared,so I took it out.All good,once warmed up gauge reads normal. I have run it...

Evening chaps. I just replaced my clutch with a Vaelo H/D unit,new rear oil seal & bronze bush. I have the gearbox on the engine with 3 of the studs at the top on by a few threads,but can't get the bell housing to close up at the bottom enough to get the a nut on the studs.It seems as if the...
