Hi my defender 110 200tdi makes a "phutting" noise but only apparent when under load - putting your foot down going up a hill for example.This is getting worse. No apparent affect on power or temp Obviously sounds like exhaust/manifold issue but i cant find it when stopped and just reving the engine. I have had a look and cant see or feel anything obvious. Any suggestions as to likely source and or how to replicate the" load" so i can find the source or any other tests etc regards mike

hi as above does anybody have a contact for ghound? a bulheads on my wishlist.

hi i have just gone through the process including new galv 2nd row doors from SPS ,some points which may help reduce messing about SPS doors are slightly thicker than normal at hinge bolt point as the bolt housing tube protrudes more than on standard/oem doors as a result 55mm bolts dont work you need 60mm i had various stainless bolts inc allen screw and torx the fitment varies quite a bit - some seat well and deeply others the heads dont seat well again this affects bolt length, i suggest if going for stainless you get hinges/ bolts from same source so you have some come back otherwise hinge suppliers blame bolts and bolt suppliers say they fit all hinges they have tested! you are in the middle As pointed out the TD5 hinge profile is rounded, original/older hinges are more square so new gaskets - these are not cheap for what they are ( £2.70 approx ea) they are sided and front/2nd row are different as has been pointed out impact drivers etc will probably not shift all screws its easier quicker to cut them if replacing hinges

thanks for your effort but thats not the ones - they are flat about the size i said but with a rectangular cut out which makes them L shaped ( well sort of)

bought new seals for roof inluded were parts MXC3684 & 3685 to foam sticky seals about 1cm thick and L shaped about 30 x40 mm. obviously handed and i think for top of A post/ roof/widscreen but nothing looks obviuos as to where they fit/which way they are supposed to go - any suggestions. tried looking up the parts but cant find a diagram.

hi i bought an earlier version of this in ZA having fried a few cylinder heads and developed extreme paranoia as a result- no idea about costs but Thys the guy who makes then is very serious about his stuff his proper job is some sort of telecoms/ computer whizz - shame he doesnt like landies!! http://www.turbologix.co.za/turbologixplus.htm you can set alarm on mine to whatever temp you want this no doubt does a lot more - way above my tech know how

try LED jobbies on e bay - i dont know/cant post a link - but i bought one over 2 years ago very bright cost about £3 and lasted a 2 yr trip around africa no probs

check the viscous fan- i had simelar sympyons in africa on big hills - fitted an exhaust gas temp guage because i had fried several heads - long story(s) - so could watch temps climb as well as rad guauge - fan seemed ok when cool - using handbook test procedure but new unit transfomed everything.

hi thanks for that - being doing this a bit wrong using private messages - stupid boy. having looked i am pretty sure mines like that - a bit!! which is possibly why. will report back when i have traced wires etc.

hi got what sounds like a simelar problem posted a query on another forum http://forum.landrovernet.com/showthread.php/189196-t-Maxx-split-charger?p=1461027#post1461027 something seems wrong as you say does not seem to unlink when discharging which is useless.
