88 inch of pure pleasure

Evening guys,right after a small brake I'm back into the lr stuff,and another winch truck is on the cards!! Anyhow I'm looking at a hydro set Up for winches! So to kick off iv been offered a mile marker type r that requires a motor, from here I'm blank I know I need a motor,pump,lever's for controls,tank,dog clutch?? But what order type Size make I'm so confused by it all can anyone link/point me to places to buy this stuff,also pic's of fitted insulations would be good cheers pAul

Hi Dave no broken shaft only the output without the prop will move??

If only I'd rather it stick in diff lock bloody thing!!

I will check that tomorrow cheers mike can the difflock fail??

Right I need help fast :-/ recently bought a range rover trayback with all the bells and whistles arb's etc,anyhow I removed the rear prop tonight to replace a worn uj not having the correct uj I selected diff lock to reverse it up the unit no movement??? So scrolled underneath to check for warn linkage etc,all perfect! Pulled it into what should be difflock with the spanner still nothing! The linkage and using the spanner to put it into diff all feel as if it should work with the same feeling as the road going disco I have? Which works? Seriously confuzzeled as it drives fine obviously with both props on,any ideas on what to look at next? Cheers paul

Hi I recently bought a td5 es discovery 2001, traveled south 217 miles to pick her up and was instantly happy it was immaculate! So did all the usual checkes and set on the way home.sat the 217 miles at 70/75mph with not a bother! Got home had a bru an set on my way to a mates! 10 miles is a water pipe burst,she DIDN'T get hot and was stopped instantly I replaced this but the system had started pressurising,so typical td5 I whipped off the head had it checked for crack's after £500 of genuine replacement gaskets seals water pump,rad,tank top,thermostat,it's still doing the same but DOESN'T get warm? The only weird thing is,if I take the bleed screw out of the top hose fill the exapantion tank with water as it bleeds obviously water fountains out of the hole,replace the lid and tighten the fountain stops and it's as if there is no water getting to the top hose? Slacken the lid the fountain begins again?? I have replaced the lid with a genuine landrover top and nothing changes? Any help would be ace as I am we'll and truly out of ideas?? Regards paul

Haha these are for a genuine reason not to cheat

Does anyone have or know where to get the punches at a reasonable price? Or does anyone in the Yorkshire region have any I can borrow for the end of April! I will pay a deposit etc? Thanks paul

Done it all fresh fuel,new oils and filters lift pump,injectors and seals still try's to fire but won't a sniff of brake cleaner and lots of revs it's away! Will sit all day at 1700rpm but anything under it stops,also it's very tuned or was! So there used to be lots of black smoke! I can rev it to the hills now without a show of any fumes? Shall I just stick a injector pump on it?

Hi after going in a rather deep puddle on Sunday,I've managed to ruin my 300tdi! The water didn't enter through the inlet's but through the fuel system as a breather pipe had been ripped off! Dohh, I changed the injectors drained the fuel and tried to fire it up,it try's but won't spring into life! A sniff of brake cleaner gets her running but it won't tick over? And sounds very poorly a ticking and a knocking noise. Anyone had a similar experience? And what lead to it been fixed?

Usually a bang and 2wd hahah!

I don't have anything if you go on eBay and look at the gywin Lewis kit it comes with a small belt and you tension it using the alt like a 200tdi

No they are using a short belt?

Hi guys just a quick one,.... I am fitting a 2nd alt to my 300tdi can anyone tell me what belt the boys from west mid's and gywin Lewis are using is it just a lr item?

Hi.....right I have a 2003 td5 engined defender,I bought the truck with the egr blanked off,de cat'ed,straight through centre box and a bell auto re mapp it's done 83,000 it has always gone fairly well n sounded awesome and black smoked like a train,iv since fitted a allisport cooler a pipercross panel filter and a alive tuning inlet pipe with the air bypass pipe for the extra air without telling the maf sensor! The boost is up at 20psi.But I'm still not happy it's supposed to be 190 oss close on it just feels numb gets to 70 and seems to run out of puff? It's been on the computer endless times and shows no falts? It's unresponsive on the acc,and doesn't feel much above 100oss to be honest my mate has a more or less standard discovery 2 with a cheap remapp and I'm struggling to keep up with it? Any ideas were to turn? Any help would be stunnin

Hi I have 3 mach'5 rims with the rolled edge they are 16x8 I damaged the 4th been a tool and a hero! In error I bought a second hand 16x9 same offset but a inch wider,does anyone have a spare 16x8 old spare etc that they would be willing to trade or part with? I carnt afford a brand new one atm any help would be grate!!!

The turbo will be next! But a galv chassis and bulkhead will have to come first,il have to talk with bas I did have the receipt but iv lost it I bought the ecu ready mapped from a friend who had it in a challenge truck! Thanks for the help though Paul

Hi guys I have a td5 defender my current pride and joy,anyhow in the passion for power it's had a bas remap and a straight through!! Very happy with the poke it has not so much the mpg it returns but hey!!im after more gooooo now though so a boost box and a intercooler upgrade are needed I feel? The question is would I have to have it remapped as I don't fancy shelling out more cash for another remapp? Thanks paul

Mi mums mates brother has had his landrover stoken from outside his house at shelley near Huddersfield west yorks Ave been asked to spread spread the word to keep an eye on websites etc. Details are:- Metallic green with white roof, TD5 hardtop, boost alloy wheels, chequer plate sills. YY53 OKE.

Yes mate!!

I'm so sorry in the annoyance n fear of getting my trucks stolen,i forgot to put full stops in for you!!

Hi as a fully paid up member of the landrover community I bluddy love the things,I myself have a 200tdi defender a 300tdi defender challenge truck and a old disco 300 and ATM am absolutely s#*ting myself about them going missing I'm in the Sheffield area and of late there going mad for them last week a friend had both his 200 defenders taken 500 yards down the road a 300 defender was taken along with 4 puma bonnets and 3 spare boost alloys from the rear doors of the pumas this all happened in one night and less than half a mile from my house it's beyond a joke all the police say is there trying there best to find them but iv only ever heard of 2 been returned!! Were can these thieves be keeping them 3 landrovers broken up = lots of parts and the way there dropping someone has a very large unit of parts if I was ever to hear anyone moving mine I will openly admit I have a 12guage and I will use it I don't work to let scum reek the profits...............rant ova

Nice one dan I have a 240 amp mig it melts most things i do so I'm hoping it will do it!! Getting it off ain't a worry I'm sure plasma sthil saw and grinder will asist if the time calls!! But it's a non roader it's purely for mud!

It's not ideal I know bur ATM lt77 s are at a premium and im skint.........I think it's worth a try

Right iv got a defender challenge truck it's running a 300tdi mated to a lt77 box now the box is starting to wear in the mainshaft (the bangs getting louder) is it possible to run a weld round the mainshaft Nto the drive gear in the tranny??? I no it's not ideal etc but I'm skint ATM n desperation is all I have lol
