  1. Is there a way to tell if there's a problem with the transfer box without actually using it ?
  2. Yeah that's what i was thinking,I just don't want to accidently fix whilst i'm there.I've done that before !
  3. I'm looking at purchasing a 300tdi 1996 manual disco,the owner says it needs a new transfer box because the lever is stuck in high range he also says that the odometer has ceased to function. Could there be a link between the two problems ?
  4. I went to see it ,Absolutely amazing bodywork and chassis,totally rust free.Unfortunately it's had the dash taken out in haphazard fashion and the registration paperwork is a bit vague,plus i would need a flatbed to transport it in it's present condition.Still it was quite surreal having to search for corrosion on a landrover !
  5. I'm looking for a project and I've seen a 1991 D1 200tdi. It's an ex-french fire brigade incident control vehicle with only 68000kms ! Naturally I'm interested,the advert says that the heating block and the front driveshaft have been removed.Could a leaking heater box have led to fatal engine damage ? I'm obviously ready to invest a bit but I'm looking for a project with a sound engine. How can I tell the engine isn't a total dud without it running ? What should I look out for ?
  6. I'm going to see it tommorrow I'm trying to remember all the things to lookout for: chassis ,door bottoms,footwells,bulkhead,oil filler cap heavy breathing.How can I tell if the gear/transfer boxes are sound. I used to own a 300tdi this is a 200tdi which I'm not familiar with.
  7. I'd be doing the work myself. I think anyone who owns a Defender and pays someone else to do the work is missing the point ! I'm just after a rough and ready truck that will get through it's M o t. The seller is asking for 3000.
  8. well i'm in the sunny south of France so that may be an option
  9. So it won't need just a new stop light and an indicator then ?
  10. I rang the seller to get some info and he confirmed that the door post is bent,I'm going to go and have a look, It might be worth the trip
  11. I'm considering coming in from the cold with the aquisition of this specimen. The seller says it's taken a slight knock to the side. Is this repairable without mega investment ?
  12. Thanks for the quick reply, can i just use 1, 2 or 3 instead of drive ?
  13. sorry if this sounds dumb,I live at the bottom of 20 degree concrete slope that runs over a distance of about 25 meters,I'm at present very interested in 300tdi auto,will it struggle up the the slope on cold mornings? Thanks .
  14. Unfortunately not where i am in southern france ,and this 300 tdi has only 88000 miles on the clock.
