  1. Well thanks for the reassuring post about over heating. I've done the bleed from cold. Opened the bleed screw and header tank whilst engine running and waited for the thermostat to open...
  2. Hey sorry for the late reply was working away and living in a field for awhile. The head was a second hand which had been skimmed and pressure checked. The head bolts were from foundry 4x4 and the head gasket was genuine. The needle never went into the red and the head never felt particularly hot on touch.
  3. Hey guys I've got a TD5 2000 110. Recently had a cylinder head replacement and then not long after had top hose burst on me. The gauge didn't move into the red but I noticed it when I stopped at a red light and had slight steam rising from the bonnet. Stopped the engine immediately and waited for it too cool down until I retopped the coolant. It took 2-4 litres of water but now I've got pressurised coolant system when engine at 20-30 min average cruising or after a hard short drive, when I try to bleed the system it has a continous slow stream of tiny bubbles only noticeable if you look closely (bleed valve top hose)... Is this still air bleeding out? Or am I into another expensive head job because I really can't afford it again. It's loosing coolant slightly but I have noticed the top hose is forcing water out near the main head join because of the over pressure. It's wet to touch at the edge of the pipe and you can see drip marks underneath so i'm putting the water loss down too that. Bleeding procedure was pour coolant in through the header til steady stream came out of the bleed valve and then start the engine and run with bleed valve slightly open. I haven't unclipped the header tank and moved it upwards because it didn't seem that genuinely important. Cheers in advance guys.....please give me some good news.
  4. Useful bunch you are...
  5. Can anything be done for td5 110 fuel caps? Be so much easier to have one key.
  6. Or just keep spare batteries for your phone and a spare mobile phone car charger...Even if you break down you're still going to have battery?
  7. Ah wicked I'm gonna strip the free spool side of things due to a leaky seal and a dicky spool lever. Anything I should know before I go? Was thinking a 10mm line. Should I go for galvanised or not? Read somewhere its a weaker line but could be wrong?
  8. Land Rover Aeroparts Series 3 or this one.
  9. Hey guys going to be refitting my hydraulic winch with a new line after finding some lovely bits of crushed wire a couple of layers down. So... I don't have the money to be spending on a lovely piece of synthetic rope so what diameter wire should I go for and any recommendations on suppliers would be great. I will be using the winch to do self recovery of a rather heavy td5 110 and recovery of other people stuck and dragging the odd tree in the woods etc Cheers guys.
  10. Fitted several britparts. One to a 110 and one to a 90. Fitted reasonably well. Horrible job with the 110 was leaking fuel like nothing else and covered in mud n ****.
  11. Long story short.... Anyone know of a reliable source for a good second hand head? Mine has cracked on the injector port and I simply don't have the money to buy a brand new head. Thanks guys
  12. Yeah sound cheers mate....I'll have to crawl under tommorow...track rod end, glow plugs, fix dodgy amp and scrawl underneath again, arn't land rovers fun
  13. Tried that still didn't want to move....Guess I'll have to take it off and a have a little lookey see....
  14. Right yeah I figured the hydraulic pump could be anything down to the adaptor. So a pto shaft that requires full physical assertion and shoulder up against the seatbox is definitely not right?
  15. Hey guys just looking for some advice on commonly used pto pumps on the lt230 transfer box? I couldn't see a plate on the bottom of mine but the back case had a logo machined into it which I think is FF. Which makes me think firstfour.co.o.uk but I was tired and light wasn't good so I can't quite remember.. Any info you guys have would be great. Also should the pto engagement shaft be incredibly stiff? I've tried lubing the linkages with abit of wd and copper grease but still seems overly difficult. Cheers.
  16. More power? Quieter? Smoother? Need I say more. I've ran 200tdi defender and 300tdi discovery.....and a 110 td5. 300tdi was the most pleasureable of all three...
  17. If your prepared to spend the money on the short r380 then take the plunge....but if you're spending that much money surely you can find a 300tdi with box. Better Engine...Yeah i know its the auto box too...but gives you a rough idea. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Landrover-Defender-Discovery-300-Tdi-Engine-And-Auto-Gearbox-/321057795913?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4ac0892f49
  18. Hey guys recently found my intercooler (TD5) to be in rather bad condition so I've been looking for a new one. I can't afford the ridiculous price of the larger coolers so i'm looking for a standard replacement...I've found a TDCI Puma intercooler for a nice price second hand and due to the age is in really good condition. It looks the same from the photo....Does it fit? Thanks guys
  19. Yeah I can imagine she is 102kg... Shes making my truck look like a dragster...I did notice the pricetag too. Worth every penny although that is for the complete fitting kit, the exploded diagram is in a pdf of a optional equipment booklet smithies.co.nz/land_rover/Series_III_Optional_Parts_Catalogue_4.pdf its about halfway to three quarters down if memory serves the same website has quite a few other manuals and stuff...well worth a look
  20. ....Finally found a exploded diagram of the beast...and an actual part number for the full kit. RTC8004..
  21. I'll pop it in the post for a good price...been doing more research and found out that aeroparts engineering was just down the road from where i was born...literally less then 5 minutes. apparently this winch was available as optional equipment in the series 3 production era, still missing any kind of documentation or workshop manual.
  22. oops sorry guys must've forgot to attach the pictures my bad http://postimage.org/image/xzfb6qkqj/'>
  23. Its got on the side land rover aeroparts on a metal card but no visible model / part number. Any help would be great but am really looking for a service manual or something along those lines Cheers guys
  24. Hi guys...I'm a first time poster but I have been frequenting the forum for quite awhile now. I recently acquired a MK 2 Hydraulic Winch on a defender I've just brought and I was curious to see roughly what a good price would be for a winch of this kind as I'm thinking of selling it. I know this winch came of a S 2A. I gather this is a fairly rare winch from reading up on it and have found none for sale on the internet. It's fully working with relatively new 120m winch cable. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5121/5343010083_72dc7273af.jpg This is the winch in question for anyone struggling to put the name to part. I know how it is when someone says a part too me and I go through the long book of parts saved in my memory. Cheers guys
