    Most Certainly a Head Gasket But......

    I get a phuft, phuft, phuft while the engine is running. The noise is coming from the junction of the head gasket and engine block right at the back of the engine in the middle facing the firewall. One phuft for every stroke of cylinder 4. I can feel the gas escape and the engine block seems to...

    Death Wobble - A Story of Success!

    For a while now I have had a slight wobble to the front wheels when I get over 50mph. The wobble would come and go - some days it was there, some days it was not. Then, as expected, it slowly got worse. To the stage that going over 50mph was dangerous as the steering wheel felt like it would...

    Steering Box Output Shaft

    Hi Folks, Just had my MOT and the old girl passed! It did have an advisory for a weep from the steering box output shaft seal. Not having had a look yet but how hard are these to fit? Do I have to take off the impossible to remove drop arm and then prise the seal out? Or is it an easier job...

    I Should Have Checked!

    Last year when I took my '97 300TDi for it's MOT I mentioned that the reversing light didn't work, I had changed the bulb and it had not worked so there was a reversing light switch on the passenger seat if they needed to change it. As it turns out the reversing light is not an MOTable item so...

    Stop Solenoid, again?

    A little time ago my 300TDi refused to stop. I took the key out and was half out the door before I realised the engine was still going :) A tap with a hammer and blunt punch to the stop solenoid soon solved that problem but it stuck again a week later. By that time a new solenoid had arrived so...

    Look what I found.....

    At the back of the in laws garden..... Appears to be an 80 inch Series One. It is believed to be a Land Rover used at the Mersey Tunnel. Unusually the spare wheel carrier is on the roof. The bonnet also seems to have been modified maybe for a larger engine. The back lights also seem...

    Do all R380s have the same final drive?

    A couple of weeks ago I had my gearbox and transfer box replaced with a good second hand one. Since then the 1997 300TDi has not seemed as responsive and it is quieter on the motorway as the revs seem less. So the questions are.....do all R380 gear boxes have the same final drive ratio? Could...

    300TDi Gearbox and Trasfer Box

    Ladies and Gents, I was bringing my 300Tdi back from Lancaster when I got a funny noise on the motorway. I came off at Parbold and headed towards home in Ormskirk. By the time I got there the noise was a whine in 5th. On the trip to the garage in the morning the gearbox was clunking but it...

    Oh Bugger.....that's the gearbox!

    Picked my 110 up from Lancaster yesterday and headed back to Ormskirk. Came off at Parbold and was on the back roads when the scraping noise started. The scraping noise went away in Scarisbrick but I got more of a whine in 5th. This morning on the way to the garage there was clunks and...

    Key Fob Programming

    Hi Folks, The spare fob was left too long and the battery went flat. Now it won't open the doors. From what I have read for an 07 Defender you need a Nanocom to reprogram the key fobs. Is this correct? If so anyone going to Ripley Castle on Saturday who can bring one along and likes...

    1 Candle Power to Proper Lights!

    So I finally got around to proving the reason my headlights are dim is because the voltage drops too much through the thin standard wires. Here is a quick check on the left light - quite a difference! A couple of relays, a couple of connectors and 4m of heavier cable and it now looks...

    Odometer/Speedometer

    I'm confused...... I have not had the vehicle long and on my first tank full I got 17mpg!!! Not believing that a 300TDi could do only 17 to the gallon I have plugged my gps in and gone for a drive. The speedo is reading spot on....30mph is 30mph on the gps and 50mph is 50mph etc. But I...
