Hi all, Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to the bumper mounted GMB Recovery Eyes sold by MudStuff? http://www.mudstuff.co.uk/recovery-eyes.html I've found them slightly cheaper here: http://shop.challenger4x4.com/gmb-mount-land-rover-defender-recovery-eyes-943-p.asp But that's...

Hi all, Does anyone know where I might be able to buy one of these? Overhead carrier (gun rack) for Series III Land-Rovers Or something similar?

Having a clear out after rebuilding my engine and I have the following parts going spare. Note that the parts came out/off of an engine that ran on it's own oil. As far as I can tell, they are not damaged but I replaced them because I had already ordered replacements. 300tdi cylinder head...

Evening all, Having finally got my Defender back on the road, after a full engine rebuild, new clutch and gearbox, I have discovered a very loud tapping, but only when the throttle is more than around 75% open. This is in every gear, regardless of speed, but there is no smoke and it doesn't...

Well, after my fun with a runaway engine and subsequent full engine rebuild, it seems that my Landy woes are not over and I'm left feeling thoroughly depressed and unsure how to proceed :( After reinstalling my rebuilt 300tdi, I noticed a quite major oil leak and had run out of time to address...

Sorted, thanks!

I've been trying all day to get my 300tdi back into my Defender, but I simply can't get the engine to line up correctly with the gear box! If the top is lined up, the bottom is around an inch out and the closest I can get with equal gaps around the bell housing is a good couple of CM out...

Hi all, Does anyone know if it possible to purchase the c-clamps & bolts that hold the 300tdi turbo to the manifold? Mine were damaged when the turbo was taken off to be refurbished and I can't find a part number or even a suggestion that the turbo can be separated from the manifold :confused...

Hi all, I'm finally reassembling by 300tdi engine but have stumbled across a stretchy metal O ring that I don't recall removing and cannot work out where it's supposed to go! Does anyone know A. What this is! & B. Where it goes?? :confused: Thank you, Chris

Evening all, I'm nearing the point in my rebuild where I need to start ordering parts; but I have a dilemma... Do I buy the Britpart version of LDF500180COM (£344.63 incl VAT), or should I spend an extra ~£180 (£522 incl VAT) on the AMC Spanish version from Turners? Alternatively, do any...

Evening all, Can anyone recommend and companies who refurbish Turbos and/or Diesel Injectors, please? I've found this guy as an option for the injectors: Diesel Bob Tuning - Bobs Busy Any comments, good or bad? Finding someone to do the turbo is proving to be more difficult. The...

Well, after the catastrophic failure (http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/runaway-300tdi-248004.html) of my the engine in my Defender, I've finally found time to start stripping down the engine to see whether or not it can be saved. The first challenge, after a bit of a battle getting the engine...

Despite having a whole day and night to think about what to do about replacing my Defender's engine, I can't make a decision, so thought I would use the combined minds of LandyZone to make a decision for me! In case you missed the original thread, my Defender suffered a runaway engine and is...

Hi all, After the catastrophic failure of my engine, I've been looking buying a Turner Engineering recon engine and noticed that I have a couple of options: The standard recon 300tdi engine @ £2195 Or the above with gasflowed performance head fitted @ £2320 The question I have is...

Well, it turns out that taking my Landy for a short drive, in an attempt to clear out whatever was causing it to smoke on startup, was not the wisest of ideas I've had. At 60mph, the engine started to runaway, with smoke everywhere. Thankfully I was near a junction and the engine cut out just...

Hi all, With the continued saga of every nut and bolt on my 90 being seized and/or rounded off, I am now in urgent need of a rear shock absorber upper bracket for a Defender 300tdi. As nowhere vaguely near me is open, I don't suppose anyone near Abingdon has one that they would be willing to...
