Afternoon Our 2011 Freelander HSE SD4 has the most appalling wind buffeting/interior 'cabin' pressure problem when only 1 window is opened. Our elderly dog has taken to wanting to have his head out of the window at all times when travelling in the car. In our Defender this is not an issue (just...

Our '96 300 TDI has been decidedly noisier in the gear changing dept. On Tuesday I was towing a trailer and going uphill in 3rd and there was a definite change in sound (more high pitched). Anyhoo we figured it was probably a good point to check on the gearbox oil level. Today removed the drain...

Afternoon All - our '96 300TDI 90 has decided to pose a challenge for us..... Temp gauge is doing weird things - normally rock solid, takes about 5' running to get to normal running temp (showing about 2/3rds up on gauge) then stays there all solid. However - the last few journeys the temp...

We've just had some stuff done on our '96 300TDI Defender - very long story but basically the most recent issue that has reared its head is the engine runs on after the ignition is turned off. If switched on from cold, then turned off immediately, no run on. If we go for a journey, say 20', then...

My 90 had its MOT test yesterday - and failed :( Only on one point - the steering box end ball joint on the drag link arm. Garage man said I could get the replacement from LRP in Camborne then it would 'just' be a case of dropping out the old one and fitting the new one. To be fair he did say it...

Landy 90, 1996 300TDi Over the last few weeks I have become increasingly aware of an intermittent rattle/jingle/grinding noise. Essentially all is fine when the engine is under drive, but if we go done hill using engine braking and the vehicle is running 'ahead' of the engine braking there is a...

Took our 1996 90 Landy to the garage for its MOT today. Since we bought it last Jan we have replaced a front propshaft that spectacularly exploded while we going downhill, replaced the two rear shock absorbers, got the rear windscreen washer working again, tracked down a faulty fuel solenoid...

We've been running our '96 90 since Jan and I'm loving it :) Unfortunately OH was convinced the engine was vibrating more than it should (I didn't think so, but hey) so he went ahead and got replacement mounts for the engine and gearbox. We replaced them (was more complicated than his...

A question 'cos I'm just curious really (being a major newbie): The front propshaft on our '96 90 Defender failed catastrophically at the weekend - luckily it didn't hack around underneath for too long so not too many bangs to deal with. So - new propshaft ordered, but I'm intrigued as to...

We bought our 1996 90 Defender last month. We are hands up newbies but OH is very handy with a spanner - plus he is a sparky - and I'm fairly good at doing things 'as directed'. Anyway, ever since we got the Landy we had noticed there seemed to be a fair amount of excess vibration, plus there...

Our recently bought 1996 Defender 90 300 Tdi had an intermittent, completely random, loss of power problem, so we set about trying to locate and rectify. We searched this forum for ideas and tips and then set about trying them out: 1. We changed the fuel filter and put a diesel cleaner in...

We have just bought a 1996 Defender 90, 300Tdi :):) My OH did have a 110 up until 2000 as his work vehicle but we weren't in the position to use it properly as we lived in London at the time. Now we have a smallholding in rural west cornwall - ie Landy country! OH is pretty handy in the...
