[Engine oil capacity]

Thanks lads sorry for the late reply was working on my rear brake what a pain to get that drum off. I will check the dip stick

[Engine oil capacity]

Yeah no oil cooler. That's what I've been doing this morning I've check it before work and it's on max level but there's only bout 4.5 litre as far as I know I've put in.

[Engine oil capacity]

Yeah it's weird I remember the day before I drain it completely then I put 4 litre and it was on max which I thought was wrong but my oil light on the dash haven't cone on or anything like that. The manual don't state the capacity!

[Engine oil capacity]

Thanks i thought it was 6 litre as well but put 5 litre yesterday and it's on high level!!

[Engine oil capacity]

Hi there might be a silly question but does anyone know the engine oil capacity in a 2.5Td it's a defender

thanks

[Speedo not working]

I'll get under the truck this evening and have a look thanks guys

[Speedo not working]

Thanks for your reply Chris it doesn't wobble at all I might check if it's properly fitted at the Tbox removing the dash might be a hassle if it turns out to be that the issue was the other end!

Thanks again

[Speedo not working]

Hi there my speedometer is not working. I was just wondering if would it be preferable to check that's it's properly connected before I buy anything new? If yes what and where should I check first?

Kind regards

[Clutch oil info]

I know and I do enjoy fixing my landy. My spare room looks like a garage with the amount of parts I've got in it:)

[Clutch oil info]

Thanks so much honing to get that done tonite until I find something else wrong:)

[Clutch oil info]

Hey guys just a quick and stupid question. I was wandering if clutch oil is the same oiler use for brake oil? I'm about to replace my slave cylinder and I want to make sure if it's the same and when topping up do I pour the oil in the brake oil tank or is there a seperste one?

Thanks

[boltjoint issues!]

Will any disco drop arm and drag link fit to it or will I have to specify the axle num of the truck?

Thierry

[boltjoint issues!]

hi les thanks for your quick reply. yeah it's dry and there's a play when turning the steering. will it be the coze of the rattling noise?whih one will be the easiest job to do. i've read that replacing the balljoint could be really tought to get it out.

thanks

thierry

[boltjoint issues!]

hi there,

so another week and found something wrong with the truck again . so i'm hearing a kind of rattling noise coming from the frnt driver side of the truck. it might be the balljoint but i'm not sure i've got some pics if that's of any help. if its the balljoint will be easier to replace the whole arm or just the balljoint will be ok? the truck is pulling on the left a bit. don't know if it's because of the balljoint or just need balancing?

thanks a mil
