I tried sound proofing my defender pick up. Found some chequere plate lino and stuck that to some thin foam. It does dull the sound but i think i will redo it at somepoint with some much thicker foam

No it's not that. I don't have an immobiliser. When it did it it was a lack of fuel So it went back to tickover and was struggling to run at that would sometimes cut out after loosening injector pump and bleeding it through because there is air in the system it ran fine again for miles and...

If you have access to a ramp or forklift lift it up and steam clean it right off. Refill all oils and see where it is coming from If something us low on oil like the transfer box it will be hot on the outside. So maybe try that. One assumes the leak is near the front if it is all the way down...

I don't trust mine to get me from A to B and sometimes I get very frustrated but those times that it's running nice I trust it to put a smile on my face

Had another look in the fuel tank and foundva large price of rubber that might be causing the problem Will have to wait and see. Thanks for everones help

If the handbrake light comes on when you apply it normally I would think there is a short circuit to the chassis somewhere if it doesn't come on normally then the plug in the back of the switch is moving around a bit and not actually plugged in.

Any help or ideas would be very much appriciated.

Just finished replacing engine. Rather than fixing the one in it I overhauled a second engine. It turns out the bores are very worn and there was an inch missing off the top piston ring on cylinder 1. Still have the problem of an air block in the fuel system though. Can't understand what it is...

got the engine pressure tested on Monday. turns out i have about 80% leakage on cylinder 1. this i think is the main problem.

took lift pump off last weekend and found it wasn't pumping anything. assume this is the problem she is running a lot better now. thanks for the advice everyone

cant see that hoses are collapsing. but after being turned off for a few minutes it starts up again with no problems.

My 1994 300TDI defender 90 pickup keeps loosing all power. i think the best way of describing it is that it feels like the accelerator cable has snapped and therefore you cannot rev at all. this has happened about four times in three months and it is happening close to home so before the...

some times you need to re-do the valve clearances because if you have put new bits in then it will take a bit of running to seat. so i would check valve clearances again.

try phoning the NFU its the easiest way there is usually someone free to answer.

because I am 17 and I can insure a commercial for 1900 or a car for 4000. and I will be using it for work purposes in a machinery business so I think it should be a commercial

thank you I decided to avoid that landy. so am still looking for a defender 90.

I am a bit confused because I am struggling to get a quote for any landys because when I phone the NFU to get a quote they tell me the one I'm looking at is registered as a car. this is very annoying as they have done this for van backs and pick-ups which in my opinion are commercial vehicles...

ok thanks. ill see what i can find out

i have found a nice c reg 90 with a 300tdi engine. from the documentation this is a conversion from a v8 petrol. what has confused me is that the chassis number is SALLDVAC7AA which from what i can work out means it should have a 2.5 diesel in originally. does this mean that it has been...

i have no worry about putting the work into it as i am currently training to be a mechanic. i am looking into using veggie oil or biofuel at the moment theres a lot of information about it. from what ive read the 200tdi is also the best engine to get. thanks for the advice
