Hi all. I have a 1998 3.9 V8 Auto D1. I have lost the mount for the left hand side of the gearbox that fastens to the chassis. The gearbox is as follows: The problem is that it has a mount on it that looks like this: Which looks like this when attached: How do I get this to attach to...

I have been very slowly rebuilding my Defender replacing my 200tdi with the 3.9 V8 and auto box from a 1998 Disco. I’m just on the first challenge of many where I’m trying to slot the engine and box into the chassis. I know the engine mounts are in the wrong place btw. It’s still an open case...

Just thought I'd share some pictures with you in case anyone finds them useful. My dash top crash pad was looking a bit worse for wear. Splits in the vinyl and foam around the screw holes. So I stripped off the vinyl carefully like a lady's undergarments. Don't want to appear over...

Hi all. Has anyone had any success retrimming their door cards with fabric rather than painting? On searches I see a few people were toying with the idea. Has anyone had a go? Twisted do rather swanky ones, but I was hoping for a lower budget spray glue and stretched fabric approach. Twisted's:

I've got a heater box from my 200tdi waiting to go to the tip unless anyone wants it. The fan motor seized but I got a good deal on a new box on eBay, so replaced the whole thing. It will need a new fan motor and a good clean, but no leaks from the matrix, so could be useful to someone. Cost...

Hi all. I have an LT77 gearbox. It's an Ashcroft box that's done around 100 miles or so since being installed. Selecting reverse took several attempts and now can't be selected at all. It just won't go left far enough. I've done a search and found it might be the plunger. Is this the plunger in...

Hi all. I have a 200tdi 90 with an LT77 box. I'm looking for new rubber mats to put in and like the look of these which are for the latest Defender. They have a part number VPLDS0147. Will these fit in my earlier Defender? Is there a huge difference in the gearbox tunnels? There's also LR005039...

Hi there, My defender screeches like a strangled cat when it goes round anything but the shallowest of bends. I suspect the diff locks are in, but without a manual I don't know how to work the low range gearbox. Can someone please take pity on me and explain as you would to a child how to work...

I decided to do the spanner rain dance again today. Every time I go outside with a couple of spanners, it the heavens open. I should take my landy to the desert I'd make a fortune. Anyway as I cowered inside my '93 Defender 90, I noticed just how much rain was seeping through the rubber seals...

Hi there. I'm currently trying to replace the belts on my 200tdi. I've got one belt going from the engine pulley to the alternator which although I've loosened, I cant seem to get the belt off. It has plenty of wear left on the teeth so I tightened it back up and might just leave it. More...

Hi everybody. Just bought a defender a couple of weeks ago. I don't know much about fixing cars, so I thought this would be a good place to learn. I was looking to change the engine and gearbox oil when I found this gaping hole in the bottom between the engine sump and the gearbox. It seems to...
