Ok so I have a strange cooler on the back of my buggy. Tracing it back it seems to run to Mack of bell housing. I've not seen this on my other landrovers I guess it's needed? What is it exactly? What's a good after market rad?

Ok so thought best to start a new thread for the engine in my buggy now it's running. I've checked timing which is about 6degrees btdc on idle with vac disconnected. I've checked air intake for leaks and fit a new filter. Checked all plugs are sparking with the timing gun. 1. When applying...

Seems to be missing, or atleast the throttle doesn't return after pressing the peddle. I've looked at a few pics on line but can't work out what I'm missing. I have the normal throttle cable then another cable (disconnected) that runs vertically down the back of the block that I thought odd...

quick bit of help. V8 auto box position for neutral? I need to push it and can't find right position as it's not marked. Lever is the square type with button underneath

So after selling both my defenders for plenty cash, we had a nice family holiday, put some money down for a new extension and I picked up a back garden toy off eBay. It's a custom build 3.9v8 efi auto box with a custom roll cage. Drives great and had a right laugh in it today. However it needs...

I've got a 300tdi that's been shoved behind a barn and SORN for three or so years. It needs a new chassis and footwells. It runs fine and I occasionally us it on my small holding to move stuff. I just don't know if I should flog it on as a project, strip it for bits or get a new chassis and...

my fuel gauge has started intermittently working. Seems to be ok once I've driven a few miles. I've taken the gauge out to check for loose connections but all seems find. What should I test / check?

So i was on my way to work. popped in to station for a paper, left it running. Set off and it died. wouldn't start. Got towed to work by a colleague and had a look under the hood, nothing obvious and with limited tools Ive held the HT from the Coil/Balast near the engine block to see if it...

I was fitting a headlining this weekend and i noticed that some screws are missing from the side of the windscreen just above the door after the curve of the roof stops. At first i thought it was a nut then could see the two metal flaps and a hole (self tap fixing) does anyone know the size of...

Ive done some significant searching before my post and could find some but not all the information. Im looking for some more power and the small block chevy seems a sensible route price wise compared to a expensive rover. What i can't find is if i need a bell housing adaptor plate to connect...

Hi all, With the snow melting at the weekend i noticed that water runs down the windscreen, onto the gutter on the bulkhead, to the end and then runs down off the gutter down the face of my bulkhead, (between where the bulkhead and wing join) and drips out underneath but also runs over the...

ok, I have a 3.5 v8 SU carb based manual. Makes loads of noise but is slow and underpowered. I figured that was just how it is. I bobbed up the road to collect some stuff from an eBay seller and ended up yacking about defenders as he had one in his drive. He's had a few v8 and took be for a...

hi , I think the noise is coming from the rear offside wheel. Feels like there is a large stone suck in the tyre but when gently applying the breaks it goes away. So must be break related. Any thoughts?

Hi Guys, i know this has been asked before. i don't know its ever worked as the defender is relatively new to me and I've just got it road worthy for winter and last night turned the blowers on... well actually i moved the switch and nothing happened. Im planning to check the fuse and put...

I've been wanting to do this for some time and ordered myself a bar for Xmas. I'd planned to do it in my time off between Xmas and new year. I was at the boozer last night and a mate warned me that it would void my insurance? Said his mate had done it and couldn't get anyone to insure it and...

I'm having problems getting insurance sorted on my truck. It's a 90 v8 but been built from range rover bits. Logbook is all accurate but insurance companies are saying it comes up as a range rover on the number plate. Just tried compact the monkey and it indeed shows up as a range rover. Any...

I've got some pre cut mats and transmission tunnel carpet mats etc that the previous owner lobbed in the back. They move around a lot, is standard practice to glue em down?

Does anyone know a Yorkshire based firm that can tune a carb based v8 on rolling road?

Are there any clones of these. My google searching finds a type of sawtooth but doesn't look close to the khans
