  1. hi i have a defender 90 200tdi with a worn transfer box . a friend had a low milage transfer box from an automatic .when i fitted it it had an intermittent drone noise in 5th gear it would drone about every second .2 years later i fitted a new chassis and i also fitted a rebuilt r380 gearbox and axles with good diffs .i still have the drone noise  (i can feel it through the body of the car )has anybody got any ideas about what it could be or is it a recon transfer box ?

  2. hi i have a recently tried to fit LED headlights and noticed the blue and red wire to the headlights is permanently live my old headlights worked ok but they were very dim iv changed the light switch and that's not helped could this be a relay problem ? how would i test for this ?if i pull the left light fuse it goes out .the blue and red cable going to the main beam switch is live .would a dodgy relay be able to make the cable live when the key isn't inserted?

  3. i watched a video on youtube saying if you earth the chassis of the radio to a good earth this should improve the signal .iv tried lots of aerials over the years on both defenders and they've both had a rubbish signal iv got to be doing something wrong 

  4. iv fitted it and they said it would be 30 percent lighter and wow what a difference it makes its literally like driving a real car (ha ha) .yes it has changed the biting point but for me its a good trade off on a days laneing when your on and off the pedal all day. id say its a total success and well worth doing to any early defenders.

  5. yes iv got the  release bearing UJT100210 and iv used the lt77 pushrod . on the lt77 the pushrod pertruded 15mm out of the bell housing .this morning i redused the length by another 8mm and iv now got the slave cylinder fitted and the clutch seems to be working but i wont know until i start it up and try and change gear. is this normal for this conversion ?

  6. hi all iv recently brought a r380 stumpy gearbox (reconditioned military box) to fit to a 200tdi I noticed that the oil cooler plate is missing .is it ok to blank it off with a flat plate  or do the 2 oil holes need to run from one to the other ?iv heard they operate with a thermostat valve .I don't intend to fit an oil cooler but I don't want to bugger it up .any help would be great .
