  1. Update which resolved the issue. Previously the power steering pump had let go, which was replaced. Then afterwards there was a engine speed related noise from the aux belt area. This was assumed to be the tensioner bearing, since I was at a friends at the time, we went to a factors and bought a new bearing for the tensioner. The noise continued... This was then diagnosed to a loose steering pump pulley wheel. Which I then installed new bolts with thread lock. Then the noise from the squeaky aux belt continued, hence the start of this thread. I replaced the aux belt tensioner, that had the new bearing, and suddenly the squeaky belt goes away. I will keep the tensioner and try and see what is wrong with it. Very strange indeed... Thanks for all the help, now resolved. Cheers
  2. Thanks for the suggestion. Let me update this thread once I have investigated further
  3. I found the old steering pump, so let me check it looks the same. The new pump was part number ANR2157. Which appears to be correct. Thank you!
  4. After 3000 miles only my Defender 90 300 Tdi is removing rubber from the auxillary / serpentine belt. This appeared to happen after the power steering pump was replaced, from the original one to an aftermarket one. The tensioner and bearing are all good and are only 10k old also, the belt is a top quality Dayco. The belt squeaks like mad, and it is not having rubber removed and you can also see a thread off the belt on the engine side of the belt. I am guessing something must be misaligned but for the hell of me I cannot find this. Someone suggested spraying brake cleaner on the pulley to try and see which pulley may be misaligned. The water pump was replaced about 10k miles also, and the belt never squeaked / squealed then, so I am ruling out the water pump. I am guessing it is the power steering pump, since the squeak and the belt damage only occurred after this replacement. I find it hard to understand how the power steering pump can be misaligned! Please help, any ideas appreciated. For safety I have a spare Dayco aux belt in the car, since its not looking good.
  5. Thanks David, it now appears the leak has stopped once the fan is installed and back in the vertical position. I will continue to monitor as suggested.
  6. Thanks, yes don't store on the thread side horizontally. I don't think its making much noise, so will run it longer to see how it gets on.
  7. Defender 90 300Tdi While performing some other work, I removed the fan and viscous coupling assembly. I put the assembly on a box with the bolt threads facing downwards. A few days later when I re-attached the fan and coupling, there was what looks like thin silicone grease / vaseline on the box, and appears to have "bled" from the viscous coupling. The thick fluid is clear and has no smell. Just wanting confirmation this is so, and probably assume I need a new viscous coupling?
  8. Just for reference Landrover Defender 300Tdi tensioner bearing is: 6203-2RSH C3 RUBBER SEALED BEARING
  9. Thanks for all the replies. I will go the hot water and elbow grease method first. I don't think the roof will need CIF / Tcut yet, but lets see.
  10. What is the best way to clean a white roof? Mine is not overly dirty / a bad one, but wanted to ask, in case there is a best way to clean it, being made of aluminium. I would have normally just jumped in with some T-Cut or similar, but guess there may be some better advice out there? Thanks in advance, Jon
  11. Landrover Defender 90 300Tdi 1996 There are two yellow relays behind the cover with the fuses. They are both Siemens YWB10027, what does the left and the right one power? TIA, Jon
  12. Hello All, My Defender 300TDi washer jet plastic top has come off. Not sure if it should come off or it has broken off! When I push it back on it does not secure itself and I cannot see how it should fit back on. Has it broken, or am I just being stupid on how it fits? If a new one is required, how is it fitted? Please help! Thanks in advance. Jon
  13. The breather hose (ERR3084) from the rocker cover to my 300Tdi Defender block is now leaking again. As per my previous posting I was hoping to find a suitable silicone replacement pipe, but to no avail. I wanted to canvas opinion on whether others also have this problem and if there is a demand for us to have some silicone ones made up? I guess the tooling costs would prohibit just a few being made and guess the minimum order would be 25 - 50. What is the concensus on getting some made? Jon Please note: I am not a commercial trader, just a Landrover enthusiast who is bored of replacing parts on my Defender with cheap rubbish that is not fit for purpose. This post is solely to canvass opinion on whether there are others out there with the same issue and whether it is worth us getting some fit for purpose 300Tdi breather hoses made up.
  14. Watched a couple of "A 4x4 is Born" on TV+ last night, saw the one where Samco or another firm was making silicone hoses. When I bought my 300Tdi the trocker cover breather to block pipe was fratured (LHS looked from the front, it has a 90 degree bend close to the rocker outlet) and leaked oil. I changed it for a new one to prevent it leaking. Now 6000 miles and less than 18 months later the same has happened to the brand new replacement one. Anyone know where I can get a "proper" silicon hose that has an expected life longer than 6000 miles? Thanks Jon
  15. Hit mine with WD40 and it seemed to do the trick, lets see how long the remedy lasts. Jon
