    Brake disc compatibility ABS vs non-ABS

    Now, a detailed one - will ABS rear solid brake discs (SDB100980) fit a Defender sans ABS (it's a 1997 300 Tdi). Happen to have a set lying around, but I am unsure if the hole pattern etc. is the same (and it is just the additional hole for the ABS sensor that is different). Normally FTC3846...

    235/85R16 tyres on standard LR 5.5J rims?

    Has anyone put 235/85R16 tyres on standard LR 5.5J steel rims? Normally 6J is recommended, but the difference in width is very small so is will fit - just a question whether the tyres will stay on the rims in turns :eek:

    Immobilisation spider location on Def 1997 300 Tdi?

    Reading all the forums and workshop manuals, it should be clear as water that the location of the immobilisation spider is in the battery box under LH front seat. Not the case in my 1997 Defender 300 Tdi. It is nowhere to be found in either seatboxes (and believe me when I say I have had my head...

    Clutch pedal staying on floor

    Hi all! I did a clutch bleed a couple of days ago on a 1997 Def 110 300 Tdi with an R380 - all went fine with fluid coming out using a one-man bleeding kit (the-hose-into-jar type). As expected the clutch pedal went to the floor, stayed there, and had to be pulled up for each bleed pump (a...

    Pop quiz for electrics experts (and others)!

    I have two unidentified unconnected connectors on my 1997 Defender 110 300 Tdi. Image 1 shows a connector that is resting on the rear fuel tank left-hand side just above fuel gauge. What is this connector supposed to be? Has it got anything to do with the sedimentor (which is not fitted to my...

    Has this EGR been blanked off?

    The EGR valve on my Defender 300 Tdi looks like the attached image. I find no reference to the plate that is present between the valve and the manifold in any documentation, such as Microcat. Can it be that it is already blanked?

    Good trailer connector?

    Hi guys! I am currently refurbishing my 1997 Defender 300 Tdi, and it seems that is has a trailer connection (the 7 pin type of connector that attaches to the trailer) that is hard-wired into the rear cable harness :eek:. As I intend to remove the hitch for the moment, I also need to remove...

    Koni adjustable shocks - What adjustment?

    Just installing some new Koni Heavy Track shocks that are adjustable. The question is - what adjustment to use? I am particularly interested in the front, since adjusting it later will be hard with standard towers... The usage is expedition and it will in the front be fitted with winch and...

    Shock's rubbers on rear weird

    Hi guys, Need some advice about this. I ordered a set of Koni shocks for my 1997 Defender 110 300 Tdi. I got sent a set, but when installing the rear I noticed a weird behaviour of the lower rubbers - it seems like they are of the wrong type. I have taken a picture (see attached) of these...

    Ashtray replacement with something useful?

    Hi there! Are there any good ideas of things to replace the ashtray on the crash pad in a Defender with something useful (for a non-smoker)? Are there any accessories made to fit this space?

    Mud terrain tyres 255/85 vs 235/85

    I am looking to buy new tyres to my Defender 110 300 Tdi. I have a set of BFG A/T 265/75/16 currently on my Td5, the performance of these have led me to the choice of BFG M/T KM2 for my 300 Tdi. However, I am unsure of which dimension to choose. I am currently looking at either the standard...

    Paint code for a 1997 Defender

    Hi everyone! I have a Defender 110 1997 300 Tdi that is "white". Checking the site by Stephen Hull I would interpret it as it has to be an LRC456 "Alpine white" since no other white was in use during 1997. Is this a correct assumption? I would be glad of any help to determine this. The...
