The bonnet insulation on my 300tdi is falling apart, I’d like to replace it with something as close to the original as possible. There are a number of suppliers selling them, Rimmerbros, Bearmach and others on eBay. Has anyone replaced there’s with a good quality one that you could recommend

I will check the pillar but my Defender is fairly low mileage so hopefully it’ll be fine, I’ll also source a strengthened fork, clutch kit comes with a new bearing so that’ll be OK thanks for your reply

Hi folks, I’m having some work done on my 1998 Defender 300tdi gearbox so while its out lm also replacing the clutch. I’ve read that it’s a good idea to replace the clutch release fork, but what else would you guys recommend replacing while the box is out. From what I can see on the net there’s...

All the standard stuff is working fine but as my 90 is van type it still take a fair time to warm up when it really cold, if the Allisport heater matrix made a significant difference its a fairly straight forward swap, but a bit costly, which is why I was interested to see if anyone on this...

I’m looking to improve the heater on my 90 300tdi, I see that Allisport do a heater matrix that is twice the size of the standard. Has any one fitted one of these and if so did it make much difference, at over £200 I don’t want to spend that kind of money if there’s no going to be much...

Perhaps I should buy the £10 one and hope for the same result

i thought it time to replace the coolant hoses on my Defender 300tdi as I’m sure they are the original ones, so are now over 20 years old. I’ve purchased a full set of silicon hoses from siliconhoses.com who are selling them off cheap as they are discontinuing this range. The only hoses I now...

Thanks for that Litch, I’ve just looked on the Unitruck web site and it looks like there’re a quality product, I’ll check their range out.

Having just weaved my way up the M6 I decided I needed door mirrors with a blind spot feature, originally I didn’t want to just stick one of those cheap ones to my existing mirrors so I went on the net and a number of suppliers do a mirror with a blind spot feature. However as the mirrors are...

So better than nothing I suppose, and as I was going to replace the current rusty bolts probably not a bad option.

I was thinking of buying one of these kits, the security element seems to be that the bolts and screws are allen torx. Do you guys think this is a good security feature or do you think the determined scum bag thief just comes back with the right tools.

I'm about to resurrect my 1998 300tdi which I now haven't used for about 3 years, as it is now 20years old I was hoping to get some cheap classic insurance, I'm approaching 60 full no claims and all that stuff but so far all quotes are over £350 for a max of 1500miles, it has a few mods bigger...

Thanks for the info Gatso I'm in Australia at the moment but will get in touch when I get back cheers.

I've not used this site before so I'm hoping this is a PM but if you could give me the details of the guy in Littlebrough that would be great

My Defender 300tdi has a small amount of rot on the bottom inside of the doors other than this they are in good order. I was wondering what my options are, I plan to keep the vehicle for a long time so I'd like to have a solution that will resist the UK weather for as long as possible. I was...
