That all makes sense as a possible. No idea what it was being read with, but probably not the most up to date bit of kit. Will try and get it happening again and turn up at the garage when it's doing its thing. If the reader shows nothing, then off to a dedicated Landy garage, rather than...

I have a 2007 Puma 2.4 TDwhatever that picks up great when starting out, power kicks in below 2000rpm, can hear turbo in background etc. But get the engine warm, say after 20miles on the motorway, and we lose all power. A case of taking foot off gas, and not getting anything back when you...

Hallo - getting confused and not got a clear answer yet... Need to fit some driving lights to the 90, and having looked around have picked up on Roo Lites in terms of cost/quality/spot to wide focus etc. But. The 170s seem to only come with 100W bulbs, when I thought 55W was max for road...

Hi - seems like my "overheating" 300TDi was a dodgy temperature sender, apparently... He took the landy out, saw the gauge right in the red, but when he opened the bonnet, he was pretty certain it wasn't actually overheating. IR thermometer read about 91degC, hoses could be touched without...

Anyone any views on the product advertised in a "sponsored link" at the bottom of this thread??! Steel Seal- Head Gasket Repair Gut instinct is: quick fix that will cost more in long run if gums up engine... Alternatively: quick/simple test to see if it is head gasket problem if it works...

Hmm - good point. Had a look and there it does seem to be a bit lacking in all the fins. In some places there are just the horizontal bars... I guess with a couple of driving lights on an A-frame in front means less air getting in anyway... It comes and goes - almost think it might be...

can drive it for about 5miles and needle's dead centre. Then it starts to move. Fine on idle. Haven't taken it on motorway for just that fear... :) You're taking the mick? Doesn't always make that noise - hasn't recently, I don't think. But haven't noticed if it does it when it's really...

First off - I've searched thru the forums and read up on the usual suspects for an overheating 300tdi: head gasket/warped head, stat, airlock, blocked pipes/rad, water pump etc. And while I'm not a great mech, I guess the solution maybe to give the Defender (90, R-reg, 96k) to someone who is...

needle bearings disintegrated in front prop... and not a lot of sign of any grease there either... :) Thanks all.

Hi - I'm after some help with some transmission related diagnostics on my 300Tdi 90. Driving up thru the gears, I get to just under 40 and get a bit of a shake. Like an unbalanced wheel, but seems to be both a bit on the steering and also towards the back. It continues thru up to 50 and a...

OK - so it was an inner bearing that had gone. And it had managed to weld itself to the stub axel. Result: new bearing and stub axle required. How much would people expect that to cost? £100? £200? £300? £400?

Hmm - we'll see how it goes. How long does it take to replace the bearing (and any associated damage it may have done)? ie is it a big job he's going to shirk from, or something he might just fit in on a friday afternoon? JonM - how long did you keep on driving it before you got the bearing...

Blimey - that sounds exactly like I've just experienced 2 days ago. And my front left hub was recently replaced too...hmm I've got a 90 300tdi. Doing 30 down the lane a mile from home, suddenly "bmbbm bmbbmbb" noise, pulled to left. Luckily, it went onto a muddy verge, so no tarmac skidding...

Not having the means/luxury of another set of rims, I've got Michelin Syncrhone for general road/light offroad use. Reckon these'd be good enough? (Mind you, it's kind academic - the police tend to shut roads to everything after a few flakes - I'm thinking Snake/Woodhead passes here)

For a Defender 90, with 205/80 R16s. Any recommendations, hints, suggestions regarding getting and using a set snow chains? Including do I need 2 pairs, or do you just fit one pair to the front wheels and lock the diff? Thanks all. Matt

I posted on Saturday about a loose front prop shaft and a "clutch clunk" that had got markedly worse... This evening had a big crunch as I was pulling away, and there's no transmission to the wheels - _unless_ I lock the diff. 1) ideas as to what has given up? 2) solution? and how much would...

rather than start a new thread... Been having similar noise, generally in the changing up and down in the 3rd/4th/5th kind of area. Got an R-reg 90 300TDI Hardtop. Noticed today that there's now a "clonk/chink" pretty much in the middle/under me when I lift off the gas - so there's something...
