Hey everyone. I have this problem with my front drive shaft. The U joints are fine and recently replaces, however i have quite the bit of slack on my spline. Moves around quite a bit in circles, or back and forth. Are these drive shafts serviceable? Any recommendations? Cheers, Steve

Hey guys, I'm wondering how much play is too much in the sliding joint of a prop shaft. If none, or minimal, is this service-able, or should i be looking for a new prop shaft? Would greasing her up be a good fix?? Cheers

Hey everyone. I seem to have an issue. Recently, the bolts that hold my shock tower in place seem to go loose. Once every few months I can hear it loosen up by the sound of it slapping, so i go in and tighten the bolts. This time around, i snapped 2 bolts. What can i do now? Is there an easy...

Hey mates, Does anyone know if the rear disk brake pads for a mid 90's defender on a NAS V8 will be the same on same year 300tdi? I've been to a few shops and I get part #'s that i can't cross reference to the tdi versions? If anyone could let me know what parts do or don't transfer over...

does every defender come with a heated windscreen? where is the switch to turn this on? Cheers,

hey everyone, i though i would give this a try on my landy, and to my surprise, i think it could be beneficial, and give me an extra minute of time to get the club and catch the block mid-thieving. I´ve installed a battery isolater switch, which needs it´s own type of key to turn on. This switch...

i've got myself a 97 300tdi 110, and i'm sure i ran out of fuel, due to a leaky manual lift pump, and a faulty fuel gauge. the question i have; i've refilled it, replaced the manual lift pump, but i cannot get fuel to the engine. i've tried starting to, i've tried pumping it manually with the...

can anyone demonstrate and tell me how to get all of the air out of my fuel lines in a 300tdi. It turns out, i hit one of my fuel lines and it started leaking fuel. I tightened it back up and it's still running like garbage and stalling on me as soon as i go heavy on the pedal... i undid the...

Hey everyone; I've got my 300tdi defender 110; been driving it daily, no issues, except the occasional fuel guage fault and water temp fault. Anyways, i go and change the air filter, things are good; 2 minute job. I go to start the truck up, but has a little more hesitation in the start; takes...

so, i go to the truck in the morning, unlock the door, put my tools in the rear area, and lock it back up; even check the handle to make sure it's locked. i drive to the shop up a gravel road and go to pull up on the rear door handle and notice the lock is turned and the door opens without the...

has anyone out there fitted any vdo or after market gauges into their dash panel? I'm thinking if replacing my clock, water temp, and fuel gauge, with a set from VDO. My biggest concern is with the water temp gauge, and where I can install the new sensor? Does anyone recommend one of those...

Do i really need a thermostat with my truck in a hot climate like costa rica? Are there any adverse affects? Is this a good thing/bad thing?

Hey everyone; I've got a 300tdi 110, and my temperature and fuel gauge seem to be on and off all the time. First off, the temp. gauge sit's pretty low and not sure if this is normal. with this, it often cuts out, goes to zero and bumps back up. The fuel gauge shows full, then drops down to 3/4...

I'm just wondering if there are any differences between the 2 turbos. I have the ability to get myself a cheap turbo out of a td5, and since my 300tdi is a little higher mileage, i thought about doing a swap or to have an extra turbo at hand. Are they identical, or can they swap over? Different...

Hey everyone; I'm still very new to this, and trying to get my hands on various parts for my defender 300tdi. These parts consist of new belts, an egr banking kit, thermostat, filters, timing belt kit, and potentially a ton more. So my question is, what have you all found is the best place to...

so, i'm making the jump on going ahead in a 300tdi defender 110 purchase. Now i need to find out which one; so with everyone's help, what should i look for when buying one of these? is there any way to check turbo without stripping it down? it blows black at first startup, but good after that...

good day everyone; Again apologies all around for my blatant ignorance when it comes to land rover engines, but i am new to these vehicles, and i need to learn. I am in the market for another defender as the one i had before, i had to back out on the deal. I am living in Costa Rica right now, so...

Excuse my ignorance when it comes to this type of general knowledge, but i'm trying to figure out when the first td5 engine was put into a production 110? There is a 110 for sale here, it's a 1997, however I'm not sure if that would be a 300tdi or a td5. Second question, are most land rovers...

Hey landy boyz and girls; I'm very new to this world and just bought my very first defender 110. I'm super happy with her so far, and have done a ton of research, however there are 2 things that puzzle me, and these 2 things i have never seen before and wondering if anyone out there can help me...
