Guys, im after some ideas please. My 300 is running hot, but only at speeds of 50ish and above. Have done two days green laning, with loads of stop/starts and very slow moving and the temp gauge never goes above half. Even driving the roads between lanes the temp is fine but as soon as I hit...

Have had a search about and cant really find the info I a looking for so who better to ask than you lot of grumpy.... sorry I mean experienced landy owners :D Currently I have got the Terrafirma +2 medium duty springs and standard length Terrafirma shocks, which I have hated since the day I...

Anyone know where I can order some of the rubber doughnuts that are right on the bottom of the front shocks. The ones in this picture?? Mine are completely shot but cant seem to find them anywhere??

Guys, my landy smells funny and I need some help finding out why :pound: Ok, the smell is best described as a hot rubbery smell. Kind of like if you stuck a brand new tyre outside in the sun for a few hours and then stuck your nose right on it. This only happens when the engine is under...

Does anyone know off hand what size the nut is on the drop arm. Just went to remove mine and my biggest socket (32mm) is not big enough. Dont want to go and buy one until I know what size it is for sure. Cheers

I have about 70 litres of mixed diesel/unleaded (probably 80% petrol) from me filling my wifes car up with the wrong fuel :mad: Would it be ok to chuck it into my landy in small quantities mixed with my diesel to use it up as its a lot of money to throw down the drain. :eek: Cheers.

Having intermittent trouble with my 300TDi starter motor (again) which sometimes just clicks but the starter does not engage. I have been told to bypass the solenoid by putting a lead straight from the battery to find out if this is at fault. Do I just run a jump lead from the positive...

Having performance issues with my Defender and trying to diagnose where the problem is. One question. When I rev the engine with the car not moving, should the turbo actuator move, or does this only move when there is load on the engine?? Cheers

Been looking at adding one of these to my Defender to take the strain off the rear door, but refuse to pay the money that they are sold for. Going to make one myself. Do they have to open with the rear door to pass an MOT as I have got seats in the back, or is it ok to swing it open from the...

Tried to adjust my lock stops this morning and one of them snapped. I have managed to remove the lock nut from the back of it but can not get nothing on the remaining threads to grab it as there is a little 11mm bolt right underneath it. What is that little bolt for?? Can I safely remove it...

Please help guys as I am at my wits end at the moment!! Ok, the problem I have is inconsistent performance from my landy. As far as I can tell it seems to be turbo related. A few weeks ago I did a long journey and struggled for the whole day and hardly got into 5th gear all day as the engine...

How do ya miserable old bunch :-) Anyone have any idea what the "BRAKE' light on the dashboard means when it is illuminated. Usually when I apply the handbrake only the (P) light illuminates, but for some reason today when I apply the handbrake the (P) light and the 'BRAKE' with a little...

What is the best way to free up a sticky actuator?? Having problems with my turbo at the moment which sometimes works brilliant and other times does not seem to boost very well at all. I know nothing about turbos really but remember reading up somewhere that that the actuator can stick and...

Hi all. Was out on the weekend and under heavy load (steep hills) I was getting a chirping noise which was getting slower/faster with the engine RPM. I thought it may be coming from the turbo, but I drove all day and by the time I had got home the noise had stopped. I just checked my turbo...

ONLY JOKING but got you looking. Sorry guys, but got a question to ask regarding one of my back tyres. I spotted yesterday that the sidewall appears to be peeling away from the bead slightly and wanted to know whether the tyre would be safe to continue using or not. I could take it to a...

How do all. After some help regarding mixing springs. At the moment I have a medium duty Terrafirma +2" lift kit (shocks and springs) fitted but absolutely hate the ride quality especially when green laning. The ride is just too hard and gets very uncomfortable after a few hours. My plan is...

Seemed to have developed an intermittent fault with my starter motor. Quite often when I turn the key the solenoid clicks but the starter does not do anything. If I turn the key off and on again a few times (3 or 4) it does eventually spin up and start the engine. Does this sound like a...

Just found out both my front wheel bearings are gone so need to order some new ones. My 90 is a 1985 but has had engine, axles and gearbox from a 300 tdi fitted. Would these be the right bearings for the job?? LAND ROVER DEFENDER WHEEL BEARING KIT TIMKEN BEARINGS | eBay

After some advice (again) please chaps. My brakes seem to be losing pressure whilst driving and usually when I press the brake pedal it goes almost to the floor and does nothing and takes two or three pumps before they start to work again. If I pump it all the way down twice on the third pump...
