Hi all wondering if you can help. I've just rescued a 1999 300tdi auto from the scrap man been sitting in a field for 2 years. Done all the work to her but it's got a starting fault and it's driving me crazy. it started that I thought battery was duff so I bought a brand new yuasa one and it...

Just bought a 3.5 efi v8 as a half runner, will run lovely on gas (once you can get it to switch over) will not fire on petrol and will cut out as soon I switch it back when it's running on gas, think its electrical but I'm not very electrically minded, any ideas before I call an auto spark? :)...

Due to a change in job circumstances looks like I'm going to have to get rid of my beloved d3 HSE. I hunted high and low for one this good with intentions of keeping it forever but since a shake up in work I now have to travel around 100 miles a day so I'm going to get a small diesel car and an...

The time has come to sell my baby planned on keeping it forever but needs must and I need something more practical now so looking for a Disco 3 HSE TDV6 if you know for any or would like to do a deal! 2009 '59' Plate 2.4 County Hard Top in Santorini Black just turned 40k today, barely even...

Hi guys Currently have a 2.4 tdci defender 90 which I love to bits but its slowly becoming impractical for my use now so starting to sway towards a disco 3 tdv6 I currently use my defender for a approx 50mile round trip 90% motorway each day averaging around 30mpg with 265 bf at tires which I...

Im marshalling the Wales rally gb next weekend so I've pinched the cb out of my off roader to put into my puma just for the weekend but I'm having trouble finding somewhere to route the cable in, it's a gutter mount and on my old Landy I just drilled a hole for it but seeing as this is only a...

Right I know this sounds girly but the only regret about my defender (09 tdci) is that I picked metallic black. Looks absolutely awesome but the paint is so thin from the factory that it scratches from the slightest of touches, for example a single strand of bramble was sticking out from my...

Hi all, my clutch in my 1990 Defender fitted with a 200 tdi has developed a strange fault. I was driving down the road, stopped at traffic lights, when they went green I put the clutch in and selected first but it wouldnt pull off, the clutch was stuck engaged so I removed the slave cylinder and...

I have problem with my clutch on my 1990 90 (supposed to be a turboD but its now a 200) where the pressure is building in the clutch pedal. one minute its fine, if a little heavy, then all of a sudden when you push it down say at traffic lights it stays disengaged, the pedal returns up fine but...

Hi all, I have an 09 tdci (no ABS/TC thats too fancy) and I use it to commute at rush hour, and I seem to find the brakes lacking. the new engine will cruise happily at motorway speeds in 6th no bother at all, but when it comes to stopping its a different story, the old brakes dont seem to cut...

Anyone got a 265/75 16 lying about in the south Wales area? Prefferably a BF goodrich. Don't mind about tread as long as its legal, need it for a spare :)

I have a tdci defender with the symptoms of the dodgy clutch issues ( juddering pulling off, tight gear selection and clunking badly) I've taken it to LR and every time they just say its the way they are? Now looking at the info on the web it tells a different story, I think the only way they'll...

I know this topic is well discussed and documented but I can't quite find the answer I'm after, my uncles disco has the 3 amigos problem, and it keeps getting stuck in our yard on the gravel spinning the passenger front wheel, does this point that it's the abs sensor on this wheel that's the...

Hello from the dark side, I now have to travel alot further to work than I used to so my lovely shiny defender is costing me a small fortune :( I'm considering changing it, and being a Landy fan I want something with good mpg but still has a green oval! Can anyone give me a rough idea how many...

I've had my tdci for 8 months now and love it to pieces, but I hate the crashyness of the ride, it pitches and bounces over the smallest of bump and doesn't seem to absorb any form of bump without catapulting me out of the seat, then crashing back down when the seatbelt locks lol. I don't tow or...

Now I know Landys never have had good brakes, but my I'm really lacking confidence in my new puma, I travel alot on the motorway and I don't have the abs option, so I'm afraid of having to emergency brake at some point and not much is going to happen! Like last week where I live is surrounded by...

As above really, I just bought a set of 4 265/75 tires for my Landy to replace my 235/85 tires, just wondering what would be the implications of using the spare if I ever needed to? I put them next to each other and the 235 is marginally taller than the other. I work about 20 miles away down the...

My tdci didn't come with a towbar, I've found a new one on eBay listed for a tdci with no electrics but the bloke sells them separately, trouble is the only electrics he has are listed for a td5, are they the same? I know i can get them elsewhere but it would Be nice to Combine postage and have...

Any day now I'm waiting for the seat belt clip to go through the window of my tdci 90, it recoils so fast and I just keep forgetting to stop it! Is there a way of slowing it down? Plus I notice when you go over bumpy surfaces the damn lock keeps coming in too easily! Hit a bump and rather than...

Im looking at changing my tyres on my new Landy to bfg ats, but the grabber tr's that are on there have tonnes of life left in them, they've only covered 12,000 miles, How much would they be worth? Would you reckon I'll get 200quid?
