Thanks Guys for all the helpful advice.Job now done had new clutch and reinforced fork fitted. Fork had failed.

Thanks for that Garry.Unfortunately Long gone.

Thanks for all the advice so far, still ploughing through my options (Good deal on fork may buy @ £50 from Britannica)

Hi Guys I have a 1996 Defender 90csw. Today the Clutch pedal went to the floor. I then pulled it up and now it's solid will not move.Me thinks I need a new clutch.Is there anyone in my area that could fix it. I could put it inside my barn if power or light is required.Any other suggestions welcome. My Post code is PO7 4RA I am hoping not to be off the road for long?

Thanks all Progress at last, removed all alternator leads had another battery check drain just a few milliamps so the problem is there somewhere. but at the moment rain has stopped play. Trevor

Thanks you Guys for the info, I will do some more checks today especially the alternator Trevor

Hi not a good day today.Did a test multimeter went out of range,so moved up to a 10amp test with everthing off the draw was 3.2 amps, checked all fuses no change been checking other fuses winch ect as yet no luck? Trevor

Thank you Peter for your quick reply.I will check this out today? Trevor

Hi to all I have a problem I wonder if anyone can help.My defender 90 battery is draining overnight,so I thought I would turn everything off, and remove the neg lead.I put a multimeter from neg terminal to neg lead and check fuses.But unfortunately the reading I am getting on the meter is 12.7v the same if i touch the body.

Hi the final update, and a big thanks to you all for your advice, Vulcan Bomber advice was spot on,The 90 degree hose bend from the Turbo to the intercooler had delaminated on the inside wall, a small hole in the outer wall let the air in between the two layers creating a balloon effect blocking off the air flow.That simple but so hard to detect. Bye the way the cost of the little bend £52 Regards Trevor

Hi Guys another update,The intercooler in & out pipes are sucking in when revving up,I put a screwdriver under the rubber pipe air rushes in and runs OK.

Hi Guys Update the turbo makes a whistle sound with air intake off, sounds like a Supercharged Sports car turns heads (But thats not helping me with the problem).If I blow compressed air in the turbo intake puff of smoke and all's fine, run like a dream and starts all day long. Me thinks it's a air or Turbo issue.??

Hi guys thanks for all the possible causes.Will get a compression test done, she's done only 130,000 Turbo make a noise need to check that as well.

Hi No water loss,No sign of water in the oil or on the filler cap,No loss of power.

Hi Guys Still the same, Head gasket fine,Fuel filter fine, No change with snorkel removed,Timing Ok,Would the turbo have anything to do with this sort of symtom.

Hi Guys thanks for your replies,No water or power loss, I will try with Snorkel off regards Trevor

Hi I would appreciate any views on my problem. Defender 90 300TDI 1996 Symtoms starts very easy,Fine on tick over,Go to rev up white smell of unburnt diesel smoke, Air roar from the snokel,Back to tick over runs fine,Let to warm up,Switch off,Restart puff of white smoke and all's fine for the rest of the day, Many Thanks in antiecipation Trevor

Thanks for that info it's not that I do not think,The red battery light on dash is on, Temp guage is hard over to right,when I rev up the light go's out and the Temp guage is at normal

Hi Guys I have a 1996 90CSW. Today I noticed the Battery warning light on, and the Water temp guage hard over to the right.Both seem Ok any thoughts on what this could be.Thanks Trevor

Many thanks for the input,you got it Ciderman, the bearing carrier it was Thanks again Trevor

Hi Guys Can anyone give me some advice I am a novice DIY Land Rover Man? Went out this morning in my 96 300 tdi Defender, all fine clutch and gears all ok, no slip no clutch problems, pedal fine,much the same as normal. Then 2 miles up the road No clutch. Push down pedal same as normal not soft or hard, Checked the Master cylinder by pinching the braided line to the slave cylinder pedal hard. Then removed the Slave cylinder, clutch pedal moved it in and out ok. No leaks in any part and a full reservoir.

Hi Fridge.? Is that the Fort off Newgate, or on the hill Where Boarhunt Garage is Cheers Trevor

Hi Guys Thanks for all the good advice, I have taken it on board when doing the job today, I am now keeping fingers crossed.
