I keep having to replace headlight bulbs about every 2 to 3 months? I can't believe this is normal? I only use well known makes Osram, Phillips. Any suggestions please apart from not driving at night.

Folks, I have an ongoing saga with my cooling (or not) system in a D90 300Tdi. My thermometer starting reading high and nearly going into the red after a few miles. To cut a long story short I have now: replaced the thermostat, the sender unit, the top and bottom pipes and the water pump. I...

Hi, I'm looking at replacing my power steering pump and have found one on Fleabay. The guy asked me to confirm the direction of rotation of the pulley looking at it from the front of the engine as it the " mount needs to turn clockwise". Surely with the correct part number for the 300Tdi it...

Can the pulley bracket be replaced/repaired (see photo) or do I need to get a whole new pump?

Help! Driving home tonight both my dipped lights flickered then went out. The main beam and all other electrics are working. I checked (changed) the fuses and the bulbs. Any ideas please?

Tried to change the transfer box oil but have now over tightened the drain plug (didn't think 30Nm was that low!). The plug won't now come out and it just keeps turning either way. Have tried wedging it with a screw driver and using mole grips to get the plug out. So.... 1. Any helpful...

Bit of advice please. Just removed my rear (for D90 300 Tdi) brake hub and disc to clean up and renovate then replace bearings and seals. Have removed the 5 bi-hex bolts holding the disc to the hub but can't get the 2 items apart. The other side worked easily. Tried some "gentle" tapping, big...

Uprated my alternator to a 100A one - nice & shiny and also charges the battery! What should I do with my old 65A Alternator? I know the brushes are broken (I had to take it apart didn't I?) and probably the regulator. I assume I can replace those parts - is it worth a refurb?

Help please! Just replaced my water pump and at the same time replaced the coolant ready for winter. Followed the instructions in the Defender Workshop manual for re-filling the coolant but was only able to put in 8 litres of fluid (water and anti-freeze) instead of the stated 11.5 litres...

I posted this in the engines section: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/parts-for-300-tdi-engine.289269/#post-3573029 Was hoping to find out what makes of spares people were happy with for things like water pump, alternator, gaskets, etc as Britpart seems to get a thumbs down. Or is it...

I need the following: 1. Water pump plus gaskets 2. Auxiliary tensioner - lots of play 3. Water pump pulley (maybe) - seems to have lots of play as well 4. Alternator (upgrade from 65 amp to 100amp as the current one is buggered) Britparts get a slating in this forum so apart from genuine LR...

Folks, A small problem with my alternator from my D90 300tdi. After removing, cleaning and replacing my intercooler I noticed a clicking sound coming from the around the alternator/water pump area of the fan belt. It seemed that I might have damaged some of the fan splines on the alternator...

The LZ is brilliant for help and advice but would there be a space for the more experienced willingly providing practical help to those with less knowledge or experience? For example I would like a mentor to show me how to remove and refurbish my 300tdi engine and gear box from my D90. Happy to...

Have a D90 300 TDi (1996) with new galv chassis which I brought recently with the intention of gradually improving during my weekends. On my first job - changing the oil - I had problem getting sump plug out. Noticed the thread was damaged so ordered a new one through Paddocks using engine...

Just brought a new Raptor console intending to move the standard switches (heated rear window, hazard, rear fog) use the existing wires where possible to my lately acquired D90 300Tdi Hard Top 1996. I read the threads on what to buy and types of console available and those who fitted them said...

When I go to full lock on either side of my 1995 D90 300 the steering shudders. Had a look at some older posts and the indications suggest a PAS pump on the way out or air in the system (or both). Any polite(ish) suggestion on trying to determine which please?

Hi. I've been through all the threads on leaking windscreen and have tried what they have suggested. I seem to have one in the top left hand corner and one over the the drivers lap! Last weekend I run sikaflex along the external top seal and in the corners of the windscreen but that seems to...

Anyone travelling from Nottingham area to Sussex/Hants area in the next few days willing to bring back a Disco dog guard for me please? Just won it on e-bay but seller not willing to post. Cheers.

All the info in the forum searches talks about changing wheel rim sizes but I only need to change my front tyres (255/55 R18) and am thinking of putting General Grabber AT2 in place of the Goodyear Wranglers. The rears don't need changing yet (another 6 to 12 months?). Is there a problem with...

Can anyone recommend someone to underseal my Disco2 somewhere in the south? Nothing against anyone above the Fortnum & Mason line but time constraints make it difficult to go far afield (and the beers crap up there anyway!)
