Sold it at having it for seven years. Change in circumstance forced sale. So sorry to see the old bugger go.:hurt: LOL

aye that's true expensive lesson indeed.

no they had been thumping , though cv joint on left is thought to be main prob. had been underneath and tried prop for play. nothing moving. only had noise on full right lock.Been making noise all week so was own fault for using it according to the misses lol. So serves me right.In garage now...

Thursday night front prop let go and took out oil cooler pipe and oil filter housing where the pipe fits on. Towed home and now very oily and mashed up engine bay. Frantic weekend hunting down parts and ordered new prop shaft. That not appear till Tuesday. Got replacement oil pipes and filter...

got the defender insured after two days eventually. This weekend rough noises from front axle on lock, looks like cv joint is going to be replaced.

its now done 100,000 klm in my ownership n still going fine with an odd hiccup along the way :)

just waiting on rear door to be painted ready to replace old door

sorry used 17mm nuts as spacers and shanked 8.8 steel bolts inplace of original bolts to bolt it back together

yup shorter belt would have been easier but but can just get belt now from dealers

used two bolts longer than the original bracket bolts and the third bolt that holds on bracket was sheared of in the block. Used two 17mm head bolts as spacers with spring washers. All tight and firm this has had no effect on the alternator belt adjustment. Had to turn pump slightly as pipe...

fitted a new crankcase breather pipe. Hopefully now the oil should stay in the engine :D

sorry mad hat man but I can only find one belt for the power steering listed on any retailers site for a 200tdi defender. Was just wondering if any one else has had to do this

just wondering if any one else has had to put in spacers to get the power steering belt to fit and allow adjustment. I had to put in two bolts to space out otherwise the belt would just hand loose on full adjustment of the pump. This is a 200 tdi defender engine not a discovery engine swap.

had new brake servo fitted, now it actually stops when it should :)

picked it up since its got its new radiator just for the fan belt to break on way home, oh and has developed an earth problem on the head lights too :eek:

Just waiting on new brake servo to arrive and now new radiator since that gave up last night.

After 6 years of owning my defender said to my wife " ach will sell it" got reply "no you wont you've spent to much on it". Result yes no more grumping hahahaha:D

set its tappets n managed to put a spacer in front of pas pump bracket so now it has a bit of adjustment. other wise just a year long rolling service to keep doing.

put a stainless steel mid section exhaust on defender and very happy with result engine has got a bit more power about it.

used series channel on my military door tops with same prob as you. had to mod it cause it has metal former and is wider than needed. cut a long the back to remove the metal and trimmed down excess material cut to the length required. pushed the felt padding into the door top where needed. was...
