Hi All. I'm still here just don't post so often. I have a P38 with a 300Tdi in it. The clutch slave is 300Tdi the master is P38. The clutch slips in 4th if I try and accelerate from 30mph. It also lets go in 3rd occasionally. And then.......... it doesn't. No matter what I do I can't make it...

Long time no post. Defender 90 CSW 300tdi. Factory fitted alarm and immobiliser. A while ago I fitted the spyder bypass wiring, then (when the aux batteries for the alarm system finally gave up (2am) I disconnected the klaxon thing). Subsequently I have still needed the fob to be on the...

I know I know. Turn the radio up. Problem is the radio is busted too. So rolling along at 30 mph if I wind the window down there's a 'tinkling' sound coming from the front end I think. Also went i pull away etc there is a definite short , quite violent shake. I can avoid the latter if I can...

So got into the defender (300tdi) started no bother drove up the road and the interior light came on , phone buzzed it was tracker telling me the power to the device was dead. Engine stopped coasted to stop in the clear. Immobilizer light is coming on and off ok but everything else except...

Noticed that the screen surround has cracked across the gutter and into the main frame below window rubbers. Both sides. Will slacken off bolts on 'hinge' and relax the screen as I think that's obviously the issue. Question is can it be easily welded (whats it made of?), does it need welding...

After fitting new arms and blades the wiper motor was struggling even on a wet screen then I lost double speed. Ordered new motor from paddocks and fitted it today. The back plate held on by self tappers that dont fit. Switched on No park. Then noticed the plastic 'plug' was arildited together...

a year ago i started to strip a wing on the Defender back to bare metal and oxidation. I quite vigorously scraped back the oxidation washed it with white vinegar then water then dried it with a hot air gun before using a very thick lumpy zinc paint on it. Then the weather changed so i gave it...

Is there a version of the defender windscreen rubber that uses the insert locking strip to secure it or do you have to use the string method and a one piece rubber?

NOW REMOVED FROM SALE. 4 x compo motive alloys for D1 or Defender. OK with center caps and wheel nuts. £110?

Im struggling with this one. A while ago the radio and the clock stopped , the interior light was still working . Then they both worked again? Last week my lad was driving it and he flashed someone out of a side road. No flash and the radio and clock stopped. Tonight I took the radio out, the...

Will get some photos next week. Mot till 25/11/14 170k miles. Collapsed driver seat. Big tyres. Welding done three years ago sailed through mots since. Advisories are oil and coolant leak and some play in roll bar bushes. Usual optional extras : two leaking sun roofs. Not sure what else to say...

I personally have never waded the defender very deep (the struggle in nothumberland probably the deepest) So I was quite suprised when I was changing the speakers today and the dried dead body of a great diving beetle was lodged in the bezel! Ive got more than the fair share of landy spiders but...

After reading loads of threads on here I think I've sussed the twitchy handling. I swapped the tyres front to back, part worn michelins are now on the back some cheap ats on the front and it is very very much better running 38 rear and 28 front. Thanks everyone. Wife might let me keep it now.

Weird one this. (diesel by the way.) Pulled onto forecourt and checked tyre pressures reversed round to get juice and stalled going forward. restarted and went forward , no power steering and alternator fail warning! Crawled to pump filled up and drove away OK. Definite slapping belt noise...

Right, changed the radio for one that plays them silvery things and gets Radio 6 music. Laughing! 24 hours later the indicators are all glowing at me! Come on here find a few, unresolved, threads. Why do people do that, not close the thread with the solution? Perhaps because they never...

Had the td5 for 5 weeks now 2 and a half of which it hasn't started. Got that sorted, as I predicted a combination of blocked tank filter and leaking fuel filter gasket. Should have done it myself but then I wouldn't now have a collection of electrical bits for free. Got back on saturday drove...

I'm so glad I kept the 300tdi defender when I decided to embark on the td5 journey I've been putting off for years. I recently was seduces by a nice clean , dryish, light green discovery 2. So far it's managed 550 miles failed to start once had a bad connection to the starter, and has now sat...

Just when you think you've learned all there is to learn........ Whent to mondo mode recently, better mpg and acceleration. but above 70 on a steady throttle there is a weird shake on the steering, lasts for about three seconds, then smooth for three and so on. If you accelerate not that...
