Sold my 1996 300tdi 110 in 2020, at the time it had an MOT with no advisories. To me it was a nice example, with galv chassis. Sad to see it go. The following year 2021 it failed its MOT for the its new owner, with quite a list of major chassis failings (below). This surprised me due to it...

Is this a suitable coolant for a 1996 300tdi? Defender?

My handbrake lever was very slack, and handbrake wasn't working properly. I've adjusted the nut behind the drum, as far as I know it needs tightening until you can hear the pads inside catching on the drum, then back it off? I kept tightening the nut and spinning the drum but couldn't hear them...

My 1996 110 300tdi has just failed its MOT due to emissions. It's hardly had any use in the last few months and maybe this is the reason, perhaps it needs a good blast before getting it tested again? It does kick out a bit of black make on start up and under heavy acceleration. Many years ago...

Don't get much use out of my 110 300tdi lately, but driving it today the clutch pedal felt different. There didn't seem to be as much travel in the pedal as usual, and when pressing it down it felt like it was pressed against the floor sooner than usual, and lifting back up the same again, with...

What issues would I need to consider if buying a 2010 Freelander 2 with 140k miles? What work should I check has been done/changed, and what work would I need to check etc once purchased? Possibly thinking of buying one that I know of.

Ive just ordered one of these remote battery connectors for when I need to charge or jump my Defender battery. Planning on fitting them to the seat box somewhere, save me having to lift the seat base out each time. Anyone else got them fitted, and where?

The seat catch that retains the offside 2nd row seat in my Def 110 300tdi fell off today, the rivets appear to have sheared. I could just rivet it back in, but Id like to replace with new. Anyone know the part number for the catch, and also the bracket that its attached to please?

Just noticed a fuse box in the engine bay that I hadn't noticed before. Or maybe I've only just noticed it because the lid is missing off the fuse box? Can anyone tell me what they are for please? I need to find a suitable lid for it.

Anyone got any suggestions on how to stop rain getting into my fuse box please? I've just had to replace some fuses due to water corrosion. I wondered if there are any known places for water ingress around the fuse box. It doesn't look an easy area to seal.
