  1. Whenever you arrive in South Africa, and if you need a place to stop off for a while in Gauteng (Johannesburg), let me know. We'll be happy to put you up.
  2. Bugger...to cut a long story short, my 110 (300tdi) is at times a reluctant starter. The starter motor turns very slowly, almost as though the battery were flat, but with a little cranking it usually springs to life. When it's being particularly unco-operative I give the truck a bit of a shove and it 'bump' starts very easily. However, yesterday I had a lightbulb moment and though of starting it in gear to provide the 'shove.' This worked fine except for the fact that I did so with the (newly adjusted) handbrake engaged. Said handbrake lever now 'grates' when I pull it up and it feels like something is bent/broken/out-of-place. Also, it may just be my imagination, but when the truck drives I can't help feeling that there's a new vibration that seems to have appeared. I've just spent a fortune fixing various bits and pieces that needed attention (some damage was self inflicted ) and can't afford to send it back to my friendly independent Land Rover specialist. Oh, and there's also a kind of a 'clunk' from the back when braking, that I know is not related to the handbrake incident because it was happening before Any advice appreciated.
  3. Ummm...here's a lurking sarf Africaan beardy type
  4. Ta very much. Will give it a bash soonish.
  5. Spanners and me are not the best of mates. How does one adjust it?
  6. Some advice please. The difflock warning light on my 300tdi Defender glows all the time. The difflock engages and disengages as it should, and one can see the difference in the light when it is engaged. The glow is sometimes very faint and sometimes quite bright but there doesn't seem to be any pattern to its behaviour that I can identify. I have tired to run a separate earth from the switch to the chassis, but this just switched it on permanently. I have also cleaned up all the contacts etc. but this has made no difference. Any and all advice welcomed. Thanks, Erin
  7. Hello folk On the advice of Leeds, I've joined up here hoping to pick the collective brain regarding mounting a Warn 8274 to my truck, but we'll get to that later. It's a 1997 110 CSW 300tdi imported to ZA in CKD form and assembled here. Oh and...howzit Jim!
