Ok, If you seen the other thread you will see I have started to build the chassis up. But... 2 things I'm unsure about, the pictures will show what I mean. 1 - My whole front axle seems to be tipping forward. 2 - The spring seats on the axle seem to be too far forward causing the springs to...

Morning, Will a 300tdi Defender 100amp Alternator (AMR4247) fit a 200tdi Defender? If I take the serpentine belt pulley off and fit the V belt pulley off my old one? Can this be done and is it easy enough? Cheers, Spencer

Some Help please, Once I have put the new output flange in, I need to tighten it - Yes all the info I have looked at states 130Nm but this always shows a nut being tightened up. Mine is a bolt which has a smaller Ø than the nut so I assume should be a lesser torque? If so does anyone know what...

Quick question, Are the Rear Trailing Arms off a Disco the same length etc to the Defender ones? In otherwords will they fit my Defender? Have been offered a pair free, wanted to derust and paint then swap over. Cheers.

Morning all, Have now got a Disco 300tdi front axle in the garage to refurb at my leisure then I can swap it over. Trying to take the pitted teflon coated swivel ball off. Have managed to undo all but 1 of the 12point 14mm bolts. The remaining 1 is refusing to move but the spanner now goes...

Ok then, Adjusted the steering box and it still crap and never centers etc, etc we think the worm gears worn too much. Bitting the bullet and going to get a recon 4 bolt steering box. Any recomendations of where to get one from as I have heard NPS are not good, I dont know were the ones from...

Hi there, I have a 200tdi (genuine) defender. Sorry this must be so basic but I just dont know how to do it. Changed my thermostat at christmas and re-topped the coolant up that was lost. How do I bleed the air out of the system system? I will be renewing the coolant once the weather...

Hi all, Can slight play in the drop arm ball joint and the ball joint at the over end of the tie rod tube cause my steering to be very vaige and wonder over the place therefore causing me to keep correcting the steering even to keep it in a straight line? Thanks, SpenB

Happy new year to you all. Changed my thermostat over the break after reading the post by Johnnyoxford. The old one was stuck open. Had the landy nearly 4 years and its lucky if it gets about a 3rd up the temp gauge and the heater has allways blown cold. Its a 200tdi. Swapped the stat for a...

Morning all, Just a quick question. I have a 200Tdi Defender with LT77 Gearbox and LT230 Transfer box. I'm thinking of swaping the Transfer box for a Disco one for better road drivability and fuel economy. If i get one out of a 300Tdi Disco can I fit the R380 to my 200Tdi? I've been...
