hi guys, sorry to keep bombarding with questions, but- drove home today and noticed a the accelerator kept revving after i released the pedal, it came up after 1-2 secs, happened twice only at high revs. i've had a look and the only thing i can think of is that it needs a new cable. is this...

cheers ! i was thinking that way, dont think the lady on the phone will pay attention anyway!

is my defender 90 300tdi a commercial vehicle.. it says light goods but not really sure what this means. only asking cos i'm getting it recovered by the rac on a mates cover who was in the car with me, but on his cover it says apart from commercial vehicles. hopefully getting it picked up...

:( clutch went about 30 mins ago on my 300tdi. the pedal whe i push down is really loose and sticks down and no drive when in gears.. is this normal becuase i thought that you could still drive when the clutch goes?.. even if its just to the garage. i knew something wasnt quite right about 2...

o, and i forgot, thee most annoying thing is the door button if i forget to de ice or wd40 it , when i open and then try and shut it the button gets stuck in so spend 5 mins teasing it out.. one morning happened about 3 or 4 times as i was jump starting it and getting in and out.. ed

thanks alot, thats cleared that one up, similar to what i thought. so i am assuming that if i'm on a little side road (slippy) and driving in 'H' with diffs locked. then come to a junction with a gritted main road, i can only unlock the diffs when in neutral ..? thanks ed

yep i had same problem with doors etc.. its fine when i remember to wd40 the locks every dayish, but when i dont its ******* annoying. and had the same prob with the filler cap last night, drove to petrol station just to fill up, looked like an idiot trying to get the key in... decided to...

hi everyone, this could possibly be the easiest question for you guys to answer but have started to confused myself about the position i should have the shifter in for normal use and the position is should have it in on ice snow etc.. would just be grateful if someone could explain each position...

cheers for the replies, i will look into that then. is this ok to drive for a while (1 week) becuase its going into the garage for something else next wednesday anyway, or is this an a.s.a.p job? thanks ed

hi everyone, i have a 94 defender 300tdi, had a few little fairly inexpensive probs with it since i've had it but nothing i couldnt do myself. but from what i noticed today think i'm in need of advice (pretty much novice)/ Today i noticed a loose sort of loudish grinding noise when i put the...

o, sorry, forgot to mention.. it's either a 200tdi or 300tdi . not quite sure yet! its definately just coming from the black plastic coolant tank on the left hand side of engine bay when looking at it. its almost coming out from directly underneath it and drips down the side panel. thanks ed

hi, another day another problem! i started smelling a burnt anti freeze type smell in the cab.. couldnt think what it could be until i checked the coolant . and under it ther was few splashes.. so it is obviously leaking. but not from the pipes running into iit. i think the actual tank itself...

hi everyone, i have to buy a few parts for my 300tdi, and don't really know where to buy them, have looked on paddocks etc but they have all these 'i think' model numbers next to them and don't know which relates to my landy. firstly need to double check whether it is a 300tdi or not...

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan! i went down my local garage (but dont do landrovers) even so i know them pretty well and they had a look. the guy reckons its the seel between the front propshaft and the transfer box.. as that is the highest point of where the oil seems to be leaking. it has...

cheers for the replies, yeah literally 20 mins after i posted i thought it would be bullb and checked it and it was.. i will try and post pictures soon. if it is a gear box leak is it do-able by myself, pretty good with my hands just dont know much about it. and if not how much? i know its...
