Anyone know if there is a wheel clamp which will fit a 265 75 16 with alloy wheel? All seem too small. Cheers

Hi y'all My Defender is fitted with 265 75 16 tyres on alloys. I am having great difficulty in finding one that big. Has anyone got any idea if there are any that size? Thanks

My 1997 Defender has the later swivels with no level or drain plugs. The top plug had a bit of grease on it but I have no way of knowing if there's enough lubricant in the housing.. My question is - if I push in some more one shot grease can it be overfilled affecting the oil seal? Any...

I am still having issues with trying to ascertain if my side windows are factory fitted or not as my 300tdi 90 was originally a hard top and not a CSW, but was modified a couple of years after production. The issue I have is, I want to but some internal window surrounds but I don't have any...

I am looking to buy an interior rear window surround set for my Defender 90 1997 300tdi. Anyone know if the Terrafirma or Bearmach ones are superior to the other after market ones for instance? The other issue I have is the vehicle was originally a hard top which was converted to a County...

I just bought four LED running lights for my 300tdi defender which are rated at 5w each (20w). I want them to come on with the sidelights. Anyone know the best take off point - direct from the main fuse box or connect to the sidelight wire from switch and fit an in-line fuse? Also what size...

Just changed the oil in my transfer box in my 300tdi 1997 Defender 90. I bought Millers EP 75w/80 GL5 mineral (API 4/5). I bought the oil years ago and only just had the time to change it along with all the other oils. Looking at the manual it states 75w/90. I realise it's a bit thinner but...

I am about to change the oil in my R380 gearbox on my 1998 Defender. I hate to admit this but I have never changed it (or the transfer box) since I bought it. It then had 36k on the clock and now it has 95k. I did the axles quite a few years ago, but never got around to the drive chain. Engine...

I hope someone can help me with this. I have a Winchmax 13500lb winch and was using it to pull out a tree stump which I have done a few times before without a problem. However this time I think the load was too much for it. I was pulsing it so as to not burn out the motor but it suddenly...

I have just moved to the Leatherhead area in Surrey and was wondering if anyone can recommend a good garage or mechanic in or around the locality who specialises in Defenders.

I have a 1998 Defender 300tdi 90. I just noticed that the fuel tank is dripping diesel slightly at the front end. I have inspected the top and it's all dry but the leak seems to be coming from the flange joint where the two halves are welded together. Has anyone had experience at replacing...

Has anyone else had a problem where the passenger seat rail and the battery box gets really hot? I never noticed it ever before yesterday. I did have a new rear box fitted but I don't ever remeber it having a heat shield fitted. My wife noticed her seat was very hot and the seat rail was...

Has anyone noticed that soem 300tdi air cleaners have a plastic tube with small fan blades on them? I replaced mine yesterday and took the plastic tube off the old and slid it onto the new one. I can't really see the point of it but I did it anyway. Any ideas?

I have fitted a few rocker switches to my defender. They work fine but the led lights won't come on when the switches are on. Each switch has four connections. I have connected the two on one side to the live and feed, the two on the left are free at the moment. I have tried every which way to...

Does anyone know what the steel ring which is inserted around the caliper piston is for? I replaced the pads on the front of my Defender and I noticed that around one of the pistons there is what looks like an iron O ring and it has come loose. I am sure it's not critical but all the others...

I have a Defender 300tdi (1998) and am upgrading the headlights to Halogen Crystals. My question is can I put in 100w H4 bulbs and if so will I need to fit a relay? Or will it be better just to stick to the usual 55watts?

Anyone know where I can get a magnetic sump plug for the 300tdi? No one seems to make one and I can only see the smaller 2.5 type. Any info would be gratefully received.

Anyone know where I can get a soft dock for a Bradbury hitch? There are plenty for the pressed steel variety but none for the cast type that I can see. Failing that has anyone any good ideas to protect my rear X member from damage from the hitch?

I have a 1998 300tdi Defender and am thinking about buying a decent size caravan. I know the weight can be up 3500kg but has anyone any experience pulling a 4 berth twin axale job? I have looked at a few tow car / caravan match sites but sometimes I put in a caravan and it says 'not a good...

Now I have my 1998 300tdi Defender all fixed, back on the road and running like a dream I want to smarten it up and restore all my exterior trim back to black. So after scrolling through pages on the web I came up with three products 1) Forever black, 2) Wurth Plastic Dye or 3) C4 by GTechniq...
