Ah yes, the Freelander... Could that not be considered a mini test-bed for the L322? Introduced before the L322 and the first Land Rover to do away with the ladder-frame chassis? I take your point on the 90/110 but as virtually only the engine changed eventually, I always think of them as...

@slomofo, he he! Thanks for the compliment, I just wanted to challenge the defend the Defender or die brigade. I'm a Landy Fan not a Defender fan. I have my eye on a nice 88" Series 2 at the moment...

It is a 2015 L494.

The internet, blogs, and social media, have been a rich source of criticism of the ‘New’ Defender, and the majority of comments have focused on how it doesn’t look like the old Defender, despite the fact that it has not been fully unveiled; or that it won’t have the same utilitarian qualities as...

There are some snazzy new rear lights on the facelift L494 Range Rover Sport and they seem to be widely available and punted as an 'upgrade' to the earlier years' models. Does anyone know if they are actually the same size - I mean, LR didn't alter the body work or anything? Do they actually...

Trying to identify an aftermarket product for a 2003 L322 with 3.0 Diesel. The JLR EPC shows the front anti-roll bar but does not show the bushes as separate purchasable parts. You can get the bushes only for the armoured version of the car (RBX600160). So if anyone knows.. two questions: Do...

Thanks for the help guys. I still think it might be suck it and see though; I might try the ECU only option as it is cheaper (secondhand from fleabay) and then take it from there.

I tried searching with no luck on this specific question, so hoping someone has the in-depth knowledge to help on this one. I am looking for an engine ECU for a 1999 1.8 petrol Manual transmission. I know that with later cars, you need to buy a whole kit of ECU's and lock-set to get around the...

Thank you for this. It is brilliant! But, very complicated... I have a problem: I supply spare parts for Land Rovers in Malaysia. One of my customers is a workshop and they have this Series 2 ex-military which looks like it has a screened FFR system installed. Can we simply convert this to a...

I just bought a 1999 Disco Td5 and as it had some vibration in the drive train I sent it to have all the fluids replaced and auto- box serviced and also had a new drive belt and tensioner fitted. the engine was running smoothly before but now the crankshaft damper is noisy and the Aircon...

It has occurred to me that if Land Rover are building 4.4 TDV8's for export without a DPF they have obviously produced an ECU mapped to run it! I just need the part number - anyone with Microcat Live out there?

I think the situation is that the DPF does clog up more than the regeneration can handle because of the crappy diesel fuel and then this adversely affects the engine running and the ECU tries to deal with it but its not programmed to deal with the scenario. The DPF has definitely got to come out...

On the 4.4 V8 Diesel Range Rover L405, the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is fitted because it is a requirement in the European market which uses Euro4 fuel, but here in Malaysia the diesel quality of Euro2M basically means that the DPF clogs up and the engine ends up running very very badly. I...

I was looking for the correct part number for a piston for a 4.2 V8 Supercharged engine in an L322 and there are three on offer... Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3. What does this mean? Is it another way of expressing whether it is oversized?

Does anyone know where I can find a secondhand block for a 2008 Defender?

How deep will she go? If one fits a snorkel, and as the distributor rack is high up at the back of the engine, provided that the axle breathers are all in good nick, (and the door seals are good) what is a safe depth of water to wade a petrol P38?

This happened to me and I found a helpful posting in 'another place' so I edited it and expanded it and now I'm sharing it: HOW TO GET THE GLOVEBOX OPEN WHEN THE OPEN BUTTON DOES NOT WORK, AND THEN REASSEMBLE IT CORRECTLY If work has been done that requires the removal of the glove box...

Everything seemed to run okay for while but I had couple of hard faults (and bumpy ride!) and there was some dropping at the front when parked - so I decided to re-seal a valve block and fit it. When I was putting it in, I noticed that the front left air tube was plugged into front right port...

Great thread! Looks like you had a great time. I love Morocco; I've travelled there in my 109" on the way to Timbuktu (1988), in a 127" (1986) and mountain bike (1994). I will be in Fez and Marrakesh at the end of next week but very sad that I won't be in my Land Rover - too far to drive from here!

I cannot remember exactly, I think they were both about 13.8+ on tickover. It was a borrowed voltmeter and I have given it back now.
