Spot on, many thanks for the info CwazyWabbit

Well answered my own question then, that's a no

Morning all, In my defender is a 300tdi recon engine, question is I need to do my timing belt change but don't know which kit to get as I'm not sure what year the engine is, Is there and tell tale signs that can tell me if its a early or later engine? Jim

Getting sorted by someone that knows what there doing as its going into the 4th week now and the misses is not happy with me using her car

Thanks for the help gentlemen, after a lot of hard work I've found where he lives and re payment is on its way back to me

Thanks for the quick reply, I know about the price but this bloke was on my doorstep and thought it was going to be a quick turn around but 3 weeks later and I'm still landroverless

Good afternoon gentlemen Well as from my last post my landrover 90 died on me the day before I went on holiday, turned out to be the main shaft had snapped in the gearbox, I've had the box re con and delivered back to the garage that then rang me and asked to come have a look because they couldn't get reverse, phoned the bloke that done it and told him to get his backside upto to the garage asap and get it sorted. Next day get a phone call from the gearbox T%*t oh there's nothing wrong with it I got all the gears. Garage called and asked me to come have a look and see what I thought, well I drove lots of landrovers whilst I was in the military and now having my own one the gearbox didn't seem right to me. He told me the gearbox bloke was slapping the leaver acroos and smacking it into reverse, I'm no expert but I don't do that when I'm driving. Question is should when you put it into 5th gear and let go of the stick it shoots back across 3inch towards the centre of the dash?????? And you shouldn't have to slap it rally quick into reverse should you? Just need some info before tomorrow when all hell is going to break loose as I've parted with £995 for this and now not very bloody happy Jim

On route to the airport now I will try that first thing when I'm back

I've tried it in high and low with no joy?

Thanks for the fast reply, clutch should still be under warranty anyway, so hopefully it's only the half shaft

Driving home yesturday pulled up to lights went green started to pull away a nice clunk and no more drive!!! Managed to pull to the side tried high low the lot and no drive what so ever! Only asking as I'm going away today and need to sort this out first day I'm back just wondered what I should check first Oh and it had a new clutch a few months back

Well this topic has saved me asking the same question again, I've got the same problem but mine also goes off when braking sometimes and when you indicate aswell! maplins here I come

Yes thats the ones, but I had the Injectors changed by a very well known landrover place and they slit the ends to put them back on instead of changing them!

Update, I really would rather not say what the problem was in the end lol What a t#%t! After taking off clean and re placing everything oil like it was a desial leak! All I'll say is my engine is nice and clean! And I really shouldn't own a landrover! Thanks for the help guys Jim

Thanks for all your input, pulled up at my garage and got my ramps out and oil already on the floor! Cleaned everything off and can't see where it's coming from???? Sump bolts are loose so took that off and re sealed all of that, but to me it's coming from the oil filter side because of the oil on the front diff, it is a 300tdi Oil filter is tight- so going to put oil back in lay underneath and start her up and hopefully she will show me where it's coming from

Thanks for the replies I'll start from the sump and work my way up

It's defo engine oil but can't for the hell of me see where it's all coming from, could it be from the seal on the sump?

Get back to the 90 after work to find a nice oil patch underneath, drove home left it for 45 mins and another nice patch! Can't see where it's coming from but there's oil sat on top of the diff in the grove. Any pointers where I can start for tomorrow's adventure covered in the black stuff

Western, Many thanks seem to be bailing me out all the time, Thanks again Jim

Good evening all, as per title, everytime I indicate my trailer light flashes aswell without me having the trailer the trailer on????? how can I sort this? owner before has put 2 high level lights on there and not sure how they've wired it in as its all the same colour cable Jim

Many thanks mmgemini Jim

That's what I ment stud

Sorry gentleman that might help a little knowning the engine 300tdi

Good afternoon all Does anyone know what size the threaded bolt is that the tensioner bolts on to? I know it's a 15mm nut but not sure what size the bolt is as the thread is knackered engine side and now there's not enough bolt sticking out like it should do Jim

Outstanding I've stood in front the the engine bay for the last 2 hours scratching my arse trying to work out which cable did which! I now know there isn't any movement when the switch lever is moved, the lower cable on the box isn't moving Thank you so much Jim
