Wanting to buy a front axle for a 200tdi Defender or compatible in good condition to replace current one with worn swivels. Live in the Cumbria area willing to travel up to 100 miles to collect.

Have an issue with my headlights and sidelights flickering quickly when the engine is running, more noticeable on idle than under load. They are fine when the engines off. I suspect it maybe the alternator on the way out as it's a britpart one, but I recently had my fuel pin changed and engine...

Gonna be painting my Defender with Plasti Dip in a few weeks time but I was gonna fill a few screw holes from old bits of kit or chequer plate that is no longer on the vehicle. I was thinking of applying QuickSteel to the front and back of the screw holes and then sanding it flat when it had...

Got these front mudflap brackets for my defender, went to fit them today but can't figure out where they mount to. I thought they would be drilled through to the outrigger but they don't sit the mudflaps straight if they went that way. Here are some pics... front and rear of the outrigger...

Got a couple of K Switches to use with my front and rear spot lights, the old switches used only 3 pins however the new ones use 5 pins. An extra couple for the LED's in the switch itself. Can I just splice some wiring into my existing wire or will I need to find myself some new ground and...

Morning chaps, Got an RDX centre console http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/m/mHDyUpZbmHJQbL34jAB_E5g/140.jpg and was thinking of I could mount a doubt din radio in the lower portion. I have seen people cutting their dashes to mount cb radios in raptor dashes. There looks to be enough length to...

Been getting this squeal randomly, had it a few times today though. I thought it was just an alternator belt that needed tightening at first but hearing it with the window down it sounded like it was coming from around the passenger side front wheel. The bearing for that wheel had been...

Had a browse through threads but can't find anything really mentioning about just taking the roof alone off, Wanting to paint my bonnet and roof next month, its got full head lining in and lighting currently, that's no real trouble to take out. Are there any guides on removing the roof about...

So I bought my Landy with a rather shabby paint job, the colour looks fairly nice but it has this weird mottled effect to it that makes it look like an old steam train. It's a paint that doesn't require a lacquer or a primer and has been painted over its old blue paint job and I would love...

Recently had my chassis swapped. Everything worked fine with it on the drive home, no problems what so ever. Park it up on the drive and at this point I had never locked it and set the alarm since picking it up. So I do so when its on the drive. The alarm goes crazy, goes off about 9 times...

Is there any way to get my indicators to work temporarily? My hazard switch fell to pieces when I was trying to track down why my alarm keeps blowing its fuse. Looks like it is because the hazard switch has fallen apart and I think its shorting the indicator fuse and the alarm fuse when the...

Just got the car back from the garage after a chassis swap, the alarm enabled and locked the doors then started freaking out for a few minutes before finally disabling. It won't disabled or unlock the doors now though. Is it a case of the battery back up being drained and it's not happy or has...

Looking to replace my radio antenna on my 1991 Defender as the one that is on it is ****e. Looked on ebay and the only ones I can find are for 1996 and onwards, will a universal one replace this?

Hey guys and guys and girls, Got my previous problem solved which was my knocking sounding engine. It was just the gasket to the exhaust from the turbo had blown and a bolt had fallen off it hence why it sounded like a bag of bolts! Must of been going for a while, no nice turbo whistle in the...

Started my 200tdi up after a few days. Turned it on to let the engine warm up a little before I drove it. Sounded fine for about 10 seconds and then suddenly the revs dipped and the engine went really lumpy. The turbo barely sounds as though it spools up but I don't want to give it too many revs...

Hey guys. Fitting a powered amp into my Defender 90, 200tdi. Will I be ok with the earth/ground bolted to the bar around the inside of the cab next to the intrtia belt behind the passenger seat? I guess it's a torsion bar or inner roll cage bar or something?

Stuck out in the middle of no where, turn the ignition on my landy and all power cuts out. Nothing. The power comes on after 2 minutes but will cut out again if I try and start the car! It's a 200tdi? Starter motor shorting out?

I am wanting to change my door locks, the passenger side has had an attempted break in at some point so it's bust up, also the rear door opens with... Any key. Looking online though the rear door lock barrels seem to be the same small keys that the drivers and passengers doors have. On my 1991...

So early next year I will be getting a new chassis on my 200tdi Defender 90. I won't be doing it myself but a mechanic who does work for me for a good price will be doing it for me. (The building next door to him make landy chassis's) While the chassis is being swapped however I figured it...
