Can someone post a wiring diagram for the wiper motor on a 300tdi defender please. All the wires are there, 7 of them (i think) but the connector block has been cut off so i don't know which goes where on the motor. Alternatively a photo of a correctly wired connector block would do. cheers Nick

ta ratty! i'll try that. i've only ever bent the washer over the outer nut (cos that's what i was told to do by someone). Is there a torque setting for the nuts? i only ever tighten the first nut up using common sense. i.e too tight and the wheel won't go round. Then locking washer and then dog...

I have a defender 90. The hub retaining nuts on the front axle keep working loose (even though they have the locking washers on) and as a result i get wobbly wheels and have to tighten the nuts up again. when its at its worse it makes the breaks crap as when the wheel vibrates it pushes the pads...

i have just been through this, Few things to check. Make sure breather pipes between expansion tank, thermostat housing and radiator are not blocked. mine were therefore couldn't vent its self properly. As above when you refill do it from the top of the rad if there is a plug or...

A bit of background. I've got a defender made up of all sorts of bits. registered 98 but with a disco 300TDi engine from about 96. Anyway, i've had it about 5 years now, so last year, not really knowing the true age of the engine i got the timing belt changed just to be sure, by a garage (i...

It may be possible to recondition your head, so get it tested before you hand out any cash for a replacement head. It could just be a seal in it somewhere, but it does sound very similar to mine. Mine had cracked somewhere on the exhaust port somwhwere so not getting in to combustion chamber...

I've just been through all that!..you have my sympathy. I take it you are losing coolant rapidly? If you are sure its coolant thats coming out the exhaust, i.e. steam not smoke - then your head is probably cracked. What made you change the head gasket? Did the smoking start after you had over...

I've just bought a recon' one for for £170 plus VAT. It seems absolutely sound.:rolleyes:

I've just realised the thread is not where i meant it to go and you won't know what engine it is. it's a 300TDi. soz.

Help. I've just carried loads of 'repairs' on my defender and have developed a problem - well loads of problems - i have search the threads and resolved all but one which is now beyond me. In a nutshell it was very poorly (cracked head) and as a result it has had a reconditioned head, which...

cheers to Charlesy and discomania (i have a feeling your the same person, but not sure) there can't be two people inlanarkshire interested in my problems?) Anyway cheers very helpful i'll look into the problem. N

smoke under engine breaking is rare and random. Generally it appears after ive driven it for a bit stopped for a few minutes then started it up a agian, at that point it blow out the smoke but then it clears once you're driving along.

Cheers Very helpful. i am guessing its the vapour bit. I've just had the cambelt and kit replaced. On collection the garage informed me that the pump was "one tooth out" so they corrected it whilst they were at it. But it lost power so i asked them to put it back where it was. This might sound...

mechanical novice here. Well i am with diesel engines. I've got a defender 90 which is a complete hybrid of vehicles with a 300TDi engine in it. It has just started blowing white smoke when i start it. I have been told various things from blown head gasket to a knackered turbo. Could someone...
