Defender 300TDI Staring Issue
Disco-Ron replied to Kevritchie's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
If 90..remove the drivers seat baseand check the fuel pipes at the top of the tank. Not unheard of for them to corrode and end up with pin holes. Which leads to sucking air not fuel..... -
Probably due to them not being the original shock mount..... I'd remove the inner washer and pack out as needed with flat washers.

Not on the cv it isn't.... but on the inner point of the flange it is... -
CV joint failure
Disco-Ron replied to D1 V8monster's topic in Modified Vehicle Builds & Special Projects
A yr or so ago I bought a pair of their drive flanges..... the spline engineering was shocking.... the spline were not pointed... meaning the contact area between them and the cv was tiny..... I didn't even bother fitting them..... -

Perfectly normal for the front prop to rotate slightly ..... there are lots of splined joints that have slop... the rear is tight due to handbrake clamping it....

i ended up using a defender gear.. in t case. D1 short cable to speed transducer..... and nas spec top part which was ludicrously expensive for a cable... but itfitted and worked. The oy other isdue i found wasthat the discovery and defender appeared to use different size square drives on the short cable.... so i got speedy cables (not very speedy!) To make an inner with the bigger square on it.... You may find that with the 98 being i guess a serpentine front... it might have the electronic speed transducer on the transfer box... quite how people get round that im not sure.... probably just replace it with a full cable and ignore telling the ecu you'r moving.....

Try ringing exmoor trim....

My first check given this scenario would be to check that the vacuum advance is working.... a small pipe going from the dizzy to inlet plenum... remove it from the inlet plenum and suck on it.... it should feel restricted... if you can suck n suck on it the rubber diaphragm is split hence not advancing the ignition.....

Half Shafts - Trimming to Length?

Td5/Puma tub on earlier car
Disco-Ron replied to landroversforever's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
The outer skin is spot welded to the inner arch flange.... so unless you can spotweld you'll end up riveting it....
