Did a search but came up with `alloy` and `handle` in wrong contexts. The thing is I`ve seen the above selling for £111.00....... :eek: Before I do the time consuming thing of investigating getting some made up by a local company, any one know of any cheaper commercially sold ones? Cheers,

I`ve scoured the home page 10 times to be confident of saying this......... there is no wanted section! One or two in the `For Sale` section so thats not it.....:confused: Where is it please? And if i`m dippy enough to post in the wrong place and you need to move it, please tell me and not...

What happened to my "Wanted" post? Are the moderators listed anywhere or identified on the forum?

I added this question to the end of a previous, associated, post but its slipped to oblivion and of course I didnt get any answers. So try again. When I replaced the fuse for my heater blower, it sparked and fused again.:eek: ?live wire. How do I proceed from here? Unfortunately, I know...

Yes I know, another bloody heater question. And `search` doesn`t tackle this, that I could find. When starting journey today, I couldnt hear the heater blower, nothing coming from vent my side, so assumed maybe check the fuse when I get back. Asked the wife to feel for air coming out vent on...

When putting new glow plugs in last week, we noticed a very slight hissing sound coming, (we think), from the brake servo.:eek: Amazed we heard it at all cos of engine noise. We thought we could see a pinprick hole in the casing but not sure, weather was awful so didnt look long. My brakes...

I`ve mentioned this before, and tried to solve the problem with a nice set of blue bulbs, but they only shine in 25% of the dial. AND STILL ALL MY DASH GAUGES ARE BLOODY NEAR BLACK. :mad: Do I really have to resort to a Pretzl head light just to see how fast I`m going or how much petrol I`ve...

Put new glow plugs in today, to go with the new Bosch 95aH/800CCA battery. Bring on the snow/cold now:) When removing nos. 2+3, they had wet smooth, (not gritty), oil on them. 1+3 were dry as a bone. Why would that be?

My mate needs to buy a specialist tool i.e. the pullers for the R380 gearbox so we can crack on. Can anyone tell me where to get them from and approx. cost please?

When I can get the 2nd stud out of the thermostat housing, I`m gonna fit a new thermostat. The one I bought the other day, I`ve discovered, is an 82 degree standard issue and the only one Land Rover offer for the Defender 300tdi. For those of you with a Def 300tdi that have gone for the 88...

Can a battery thats gone flat in this cold weather be brought back to life?My Halfords 700CCA died on me ( no idea how old it is), and is now on an Optimate trickle charger for the w/e. Can it be made strong enough to do its job again consistently or as it went flat will it just do it again?

While I`m here a quick question............ The screws that hold the floor pan down, on both sides, are rusted as f**k. I`ve bought new stainless ones to replace them and will have to grind the old ones off. Do the new ones screw straight through floor pan like self tappers or is there a clip...

Last winter, "I gave you my heart, the very.....", oh no wrong topic. In all last winters snow and cold yinyang, (my landy), started first time every time. This year, "no don`t do it......":confused: (sorry all, George Michael just been on the radio), anyway, i`m gettin a loooong wait before...

.......what do you do? :rolleyes: Wanted to replace the thermostat with new on the 90 this a.m. to see if it would help me get a bit more heat from the so called heating system. Top nut ok and loosened off straight away no drama. Bottom one, I could see was discoloured, and started to round off...

Hi guys Last time I went off roading at Yarwell P`boro, I managed to dislocate a rear spring. Jacked it up and put it back, but can`t afford proper dislocation cones just yet so have fitted jubilee clips around top coil at front and rear. This was recommended as a cheap and cheerful solution...

When I accelerate in any gear, the old gal belches black fumes............... lots of it. :( Now, there is no loss of power, everything is fine there. But it is fekin antisocial. I`m told its `cos its running rich and just burning off excess fuel, so can I lean it of without affecting the running?

My mates total strip down of his 1987 n/a 90, with 300tdi engine + gearbox going in, is going well with just the odd problem here and there. Footwell and other bits replaced ( why does nothing fit anymore?). Chassis and bulkhead with a couple of other small bits, are going for galvanising on...

Has anyone out there got a gearbox tunnel for a 300tdi going spare, that they want to sell on? Needs to be in decent condition please. As an afterthought, would a td5 one fit a 300tdi?

Ordered a 300tdi gearbox crossmember from our local `expert` 4x4 shop for £58 a week ago. It came today, but it is round, not box section. So its going back for a refund. The cost of the one we really want is, (after VAT), £170 odd ......:eek: So, we have three choices.....1) ask you guys if any...

On full lock in, either direction, I hear a hissing sound. :eek: I have checked for snakes living down there, and none evident ;) Is this the PAS pump, and is it normal ? Or is the noise indicative of a possible leak? Cheers guys.
