YUF101521LNF - Electric Window Switch
Is the rocker cover on the switch available to purchase separately. It seems a waste of having to replace the complete switch everytime.

Hello,

I've been doing some work on the steering of the 300TDi.

When I unscrewed the nyloc nut from the bar-tie-bent forging (part 594946) where it sticks through the arm radius front suspension (part NTC9461)... There was no bushing, should there be?

In my catalogue the parts are on different pages and no mention of a bush.

Could someone please advise?

Cheers

Hello fellow members. I have just joined this wonderful forum today and it is a god send! What kind of job is it to remove the tub from a 1998 left hand drive 130 pick up?

Hello
I have a question i have a rover 3.5 block with engine prefix 17g is this for a 110/90? What years ? Also what’s strange is the c/r is 9.35.1 even though its a 17g and most defender engine ratios where the lower 8.31.1 im not sure from which car this block came from any ideas

2.2 tdci Left Hand Drive vs,. RHD Are the hoses the same?
I am trying to purchase replacement hoses for (3) 2.2 tdci Defenders. When I look at kits, there is often a difference of LHD vs. RHD (300tdi for instance) but when I search part #'s for the 2.2 all the part #'s appear to be the same and the only difference is the mounting brackets. Can anyone verify that there is no difference in hoses for a LHD 2.2 vs. a RHD 2.2? I'm referring to coolant, boost/turbo, and air box tubing. As these trucks are 10+ years old, I would like to replace all the tubes at once...Thank you in advance for your input as I have no access to a RHD 2.2 Defender...

I have a 1978 LR Santana 109, I have not been able to find second row seats, can anyone help?

Land Rover Defender in Brazil to export. Hi guys, new here. May I know if there is a place on this website where I can post the Land Rover Defenders we have in Brazil to export? Thank you.

Hi, i have rebuilt all of the drive train except for the front diff and axle assembly.There is a lot of free-play in the front diff etc causing severe clonking when changing gears. My question is:- can the vehicle (defender 130-300tdi) be driven around town and hiway use with the front prop-shaft removed or will this create another problem? I’m keen to hear your thoughts Thanks.

200TDi Timing belt replacement
Can anyone help. I need to replace my timing belt but dont know which way to undo the Crankshaft pulley bolt. Is it clok wise or anti-clock wise. Engine turns Clock wise so im thinking anti-clock wise to undo?
I have tried using an impact wrench but it still does not budge, any ideas?

Im a new member living in Madagascar. Im the third owner of a Defender 110 1991 200TDi and work on it myself.
On all Parts Catalogues i have and online i dont see the Timing Belt Idler pulley picture or Part number - i do however see it on the 300TDi - ETC8560

Hey gang. New member I have a 1993 defender NAS 110 that I’ve owned since 95 and starting to do some repairs . I’m. Looking for the cappings for the rear bed but The site has different cappings for station wagon or hard top . Not sure what the difference is between the hard top and station wagon

I have a Defender 300 TDI and want to do some upgrades, besides power windows, alarm, immobilizer, I want to put ABS and traction control. For this I want to change the main harness.
So the question is: what is the most complete main harness that exists?

There is no problem if there will be connectors and functions left over. What can't be missing is connectors and functions.

According to my research, the most complete one would be the YMC002413. But we are not sure if it accepts ABS.

YMC002413" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.lrworkshop.com/pt/parts/YMC002413

So I want to know if anyone knows for sure which is the most complete main harness

Has anyone worked with Defenders Northwest Brian Hall Gig Harbor, Washington. It looks like they are scamming us on a restoration project. We provided a 1984 Defender to Defenders Northwest for a 6 months restoration project. It has been 8 years. Brian and Michele Hall, the owners of the restoration shop in Gig Harbor, Washington, have been paid in full, but have refused to deliver the car which they claim does exist but is not in “roadworthy” condition. We have been forced to sue them. The complaint describes the details and is available via this link:

Hi, can someone point me in the direction of where I might find the Factory Fitted Alarm ECU on an RHD TD5 Defender 90 2002?

HI i am looking to buy stainless steel carpet retainers and new rubber door seals for 2001 TD5 SW can anyone give recommendations? ta

Good Day, I am having some issues with my wipers, the motor seems to be fine and I can hear it humming. However, the blades or shafts are not turning. Any suggestions on how I should approach this task.

Hi, where can I find the correct rear silencer for a (April) 1982 Series 3 HCPU? I believe the one on mine is incorrect as it exits on L/H side. Thank you.

Could someone confirm on the 300 tdi there are four double clamps on the injector pipes (stc1739)? And where does the four pipe clamp (stc1738) fit and how many? Diagram lists two of each yet I have four doubles and no four pipe clamp.

Greetings all, I am looking for Land Rover Part # RRC8388, which is the left hand vertical drain channel for a Defender Wolf soft top. I am located in the U.S., but I am importing an ex-MOD Defender Wolf 90 from L. Jackson in Doncaster for shipment in October. The vehicle is currently configured as a hard top, but I am acquiring the necessary parts to convert it to a soft top once it arrives here in the U.S. This is the only part I am having difficulty locating. The only vendor I have found that definitively has this part is P.A. Blanchard, but they will sell it to me only if I buy the complete set of four drain channels (that's fine, because I need all four pieces), but also a full roll cage setup, which is nonsensical since all Wolf vehicles already have a full roll cage. And they want £2,000 for the lot! So, does anyone have one of these tucked away somewhere or know of any breaking yards that have Wolf vehicles in their inventory? Or anyone else for that matter? I'm happy to pay a £100 finders fee to anyone who can help me locate this part.

Does anyone know the part number for the two bulkhead bungs that blank off the redundant fuel filter holes on the 300 onwards? The diagram has MRC1300 or 338015 in doubles but is suitably vague as usual! The ones I have seen were a rubber button type so not the plastic 338015 but may not have been factory fitted.

Hi. I've got a 1983 109" Series 3 Land Rover. I need to replace the speedometer cable but I can't fit the new one because the broken end of the old one is stuck inside the speedo drive on the transmission. I will need to remove the speedo drive to get the broken piece out. Is this just a case pf removing the two countersunk screws and pulling the drive unit out or is there anything I need to watch out for? Thanks for any advice.

Hi, My 2016 Defender has the R380 gearbox. Is the transfer gearbox the LT230 like on older LRs or another one? I am asking because I need the differential warning light switch and are not sure if it is PRC2911. Does anybody know the right part number for the switch on the Transfer box used in conjunction with the R380 gearbox?

Hi,
I'm looking to source replacement plugs for the wiper switch, the light switch and the indicator switch on a 2.2 Tdci. Is there a loom repair kit or do I have to replace the complete loom?
Thanks

On the Pulse ambulance the two rear light brackets have two 10mm holes at the bottom and two 30mm holes at the top what have Land Rover used to plug these holes? The wolf manual doesn’t mention any plugs. The 30mm hole on the end has the light harness grommet. I presume they must be filled as water would otherwise enter the light bracket. If anyone with access to a Pulse could take a look it would be most appreciated.

Hi friends,
I look for throttle pedal for defender td5, year 2000. Part lr030568 no longer available. Do you have experience knowledge of an alternative? Thanx much

Hi Folks

I've stripped my defender down to the chassis in order to paint it
It's and old 300 TDI galvanised Richards Chassis and looks pretty good considering its age.

Initially I was going to leave it - however since refurbishing the rear axle and a frame and rear suspension I seem to have created a clean spot which makes the chassis look shabby.

It has a little bit of surface rust around where the fuel tank was before I removed it and a film of dried mud over it and in most of the nooks and crannies - it's been bone dry so it is really dried on, not looking forward to getting it off!

I'm considering cleaning it down with a degreaser then using mordant acid etch to ready it for painting.

Its a long process so went something that will last

Any thoughts out there regarding what to paint it with - other than a brush :-)

I've looked at the Corroless range and it reads well...

Any thoughts / experience to share

Thanks in advance

@Will@LRW - have you considered hosting indexed Series 2/2A parts diagrams on the site in the same way as Series 3 and Defender? I'm not a S2 owner but I've found this site so helpful for sourcing parts for my S3s, and I'm continuously recommending it to others. It would bring a lot of additional traffic and subscribers, as well as a massive help to S2 owners of which there is a large community.

I see Britcar is back up and running. Will Britcar prices be available again through this site as they were before it closed a few months ago?

Specs & measurements : bonnet spare wheel parts

Hi all, I have a project to convert defender 110 from V4 petrol 2.5L and LT77 longstick 50A gearbox to 3.9 v8 efi and R380 gearbox. My question is there any ready made fabricated engine bracket for the engine and the gear.?? Or can I get this for someone?

Does anyone know the wire gauge/cross section for the various parts of the loom on a TD5 (or I guess ROW)? I have an interest in replacing the rear fog lamp with something LED but want to know how far I can push the factory wiring....

Greetings Will
Ihave three defenders now all in the troes of being revamped ostensibly for safari work in Southern Africa.
If possible can you please detail what the original assembly line of the defender was from chassis to completed vehicle my reasons being to align the chassis to cab to doors....thus assuming the chassis was on the assembly line starting from back to front..first fuel tank and fuel lines etc etc going forward.
Alignment of chassis to cab to windscreen to bottom cross braces critical to align the doors up...all has to be square to a center line and then bolts tightedn down....then follows the rest of the final assy.
would appreciate this info....as there must have been a sequential assy method. Best regard

Hi all. Got a defender but it happens to be Perentie. I'm trying to find the part number for the transmission tunnel insulated rubber. The car is RHD. I see there are 4 part numbers listed here that might be suitable
https://www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams/land-rover-defender-interior-trim/trim/rubber-mats-front-floor_53614#4
but I can't ask any of the part websites to confirm my VIN & fitment because I got a weirdo. Has anyone been through this and know what I should be looking at? thanks in advance

Hello guys. Anyone go a list of the part numbers for all the relays in a 1998 300tdi Defender? i want to replace them all soon with genuine.

I have a project to change over from 2.5 V4 petrol in my Landy to 3.9 V8 EFI disco 1 1997 engine with R380 gearbox:
First is anybody used Syncro Gearboxes R380 Disco to Defender Adapter Kit Fitting ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn1siBvUDsY&list=PLN8LcwkQbLO2TU_MiEu1WGh0x0ubmmWCM&index=4&t=2s) to avoid any cutting in body and to keep gear leaver in same position avoiding and cutting in body??
My second question from where can I get a good condition engine harness for same engine, to be connect to ECU ( CUX14)??

Does anybody have the ride height specs for a 97 110 with the bmw m52 engine right hand drive version

My 1982 88 Defender's transmission runs/shifts fine but has a high pitch whine in 1-3rd gears , yet in 4th gear it's nice and quiet. I've changed all fluids but the problem did not improve. Anyone have a similar experience and suggested fix to share ?

Good morning I am looking for a wiring diagram for a series 3 1975 it’s a diesel and chassis number is 90611103A many thanks

Hi I’m looking for some advise if possible please on an issue with my 2009 110 defender. I approached a junction and changed down. As I was changing gear I heard a strange noise which I had never heard before, not sure what kind of noise i.e it was not a grinding or banging noise. Initially I thought it may have came from the gearbox, as I was slowing down. However as I pulled off and changed gear the gearbox seemed fine. All of a sudden the car sounded very loud. Not over revving or anything just noticeably louder. It did not sound like an exhaust suddenly blowing. There was no bang or other noise I can recall. I drove down the road at approx 40/45 mph, listening for any other noise, for about 2/3 minutes to see if anything happened but nothing. Suddenly without warning, and no warning lights coming on, the revs rapidly dropped and there was no power. The engine did not cut out. I managed to get the car back up to 10 mph before the speed dropped off again. I managed to pull over safely and turned the engine off. There were signs of any leaks from under the car. No smell of anything overheating nor smoke. I did not start her again as thought best for garage to do some checks. Any suggestions at what it may be please? Many thanks

Good evening. Could someone help with a engine and dash harness wiring diagram for a series 3 1988 diesel?

Hi people. Who has ever converted a Series to Defender i.e. kept the Series body but everything else Defender 110? The real question here is how you successfully fit a Series Body to a Defender Chassis without the need of consulting Darth Vader! Anyone!?

Hi all, new here, I'm about to tackle for the first time replacing the seals for the rear axles on my 110 EX- Army Perentie, any advice would be great or even a video on the process would even better.

Hello all, The temp gauge on my ROW spec defender is not working, so Td5 gauges on a 300tdi. Does anybody know the procedure with regards to fault finding ie. is the sender or is it the actual gauge? Ive tried touching the sender wire on the engine but nothing.

Hello fellow 'sufferers' Just working through the Wiring diagrams trying to sort my 300 tdi Defender.

1995 110 2 door Soft top conversion.
Can anybody help me with all the parts I need to convert my Defender 110 2 door to Soft top?

greeting,
i have doubts about the rear axle half shaft for the 110 2003.y. with Rover axle type and VIN number 3A663612.
According to the diagram https://www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams/land-rover-defender-axles-suspension/rear-axle/hubs-driveshafts-from-%28v%29-la930456_52628
by VIN number I get, to me, confusing data for axle half shafts.
According to the data on the half shafts that replaces the previous half shafts, it turns out that this last or final half shafts is not for my vehicle according to the VIN number
I would ask for help with the exact catalog number of the half shafts.

Hoping to find the RAL Code for the grey paint used on Defender dash switches. I bought a USB socket in the same style as the original buttons but the colour match is terrible.

Early 90-110 Doors waist capping clips.

i have a 1984 110, with the lift-up handle style early doors.

I'm looking for the clips that are used to hold the waist cappings on the doors. Part number for the cappings are: MUC3929, MUC3928.

Hi, i am fitting a TD5 dash with the centre switch console to my 300tdi defender. I am reusing the existing 300 tdi instrument section for ease. I am having problems with wiring the new TD5 wiper/washer ,hazard warning, fog light and heated rear screen switches to the existing wiring loom. Has anyone carried out this and provide a conversion wiring diagram. Thanks in advance

Does anyone know a supplier for the fabric type tape used on the bulkhead below the vents and also I think used to hold the putty in place around the door seals etc? Many thanks.

Hi, Does anybody know where the jack information sticker should be located within a 110 (Part Number BTR172)? Is this sticker just a MOD thing, or was it fitted to all vehicles? Thanks.

Does anyone know what type of Shock absorber this is for an LR RWIMX part number 5300-2024 ? I suspect RNB501380 would fit the requirement ?

Windscreen seal. Is there any quality difference between manufactures? Also will the 2007 and later seals fit a 1998 frame?

Does anyone know if a later 2011 steering box will fit an earlier 1997 model. I know the drop arms are the same, and the box looks the same, but I am thinking maybe the pipe union threads could be different, as the box has a different part number. Thanks

Team, I have a 1987 110. Would it be possible to upgrade my indicators/tail/sidelights to the later post 1995 two screw lights without the earth strap? The last military 1994 contract and the Tithonus upgrade use these later lights with Land Rover supplying a harness link but would I need to earth them somewhere else? Many thanks.

Hi Folks.
I am new to Lr Workshop though not new to Land Rovers. What a brilliant resource! Don't know how haven't come across it before. Great job Will.
Could you please help me with how to work the diagram view . When I select a diagram the parts list is behind the drawing and I can't figure out how to move the diagram to one side or onto a different screen.
Thanks for your help.
Colin.

Where can i get immobiliser wiring diagram for 1998 Defender 300TDI. All the ones i can find are not for my land rover. It has 2 fuse boxes, 1behind gear lever and one on the offside engine bulkhead engine side. There is the black box in battery compartment.

Could someone supply the part number for the fuel pipe clip that holds the fuel pipes to the coolant bottle bracket on the 300tdi? Not shown in a diagram I think.

Sorry guys, another question. My rear tub has corrosion holes where the rear side facing seats used to live. What’s the best way of repairing the holes. I’m told the corrosion cannot be treated as aluminium reacts differently to steel. So what have you guys done? Thanks again.

Has anyone used a zinc rich primer on body cappings? I have a CSW110 1992 but like the galvanised look. Any advice? Thanks.

Hi Guy's, Defender 90 300Tdi. LH rear indicator not working. Checked, the bulb, socket, earth all seem ok. I've put a voltmeter across the lamp fitting and there's some voltage there but not enough to light the bulb or the test lamp. Any ideas? Cheers/

My 110 CSW left the factory with a 200tdi engine. Before I bought it someone fitted a 300tdi very professionally. I intend to fit a galvanised chassis next year but I’m unsure about engine mount position. It looks like my 300tdi is mounted to the 200tdi mount points on the chassis. Is this possible? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Does the 300tdi slam panel have nuts pre welded to the panel to hold the four radiator mount bolts or are separate nuts used? The parts diagram shows bolts and washers but doesn’t list four nuts. Many thanks.

Guys
Has anyone used a different type of inner window rubber seal MTC4994 when refurbishing a hardtop roof and replacing when done....MTC4994 is bloody expensive for a straight piece of rubber made in India or PRC....all it does is seal the front gap between front window retailer rubber with glass rebate...so I was thinking of I used a piece of rubber draught excluder, site adhesive and sikaflex it should work....suggestions please. MTC4994.....?????? seems like a no brainer

Mystery electrics! Defender300Tdi developed these three faults at the same time:
1. Oil warning light comes on when ignition is off, and goes off when ignition is on (the opposite of intended), a new oil pressure switch having been installed a month ago and having worked perfectly until now.
2. Charge warning light flickers on when driving, brighter when decelerating or going downhill, and goes off when accelerating or going uphill. However alternator appears to work perfectly, having had voltage regulator and battery replaced about 3 months ago.
3. Wipers randomly single wipe windscreen without switch operation. This occurs unexpectedly about every hour, and wipers still work normally if switch is activated.
I suspect a bad connection, maybe earth but nothing is obvious. Any suggestions please??!!

Good evening.
Could someone help me I’m

Hi , I’ve got two 200tdi defenders, both have damage and snapped off bolts seized inside.
After a quick surch on the internet it looks like there is a lack of reasonably priced ones in good condition. This got me wondering if there is any mileage and or demand in having a run of 500 or so manufactured.

Will,

I need a new intercooler for m y 130 TDi 2.5 D....I can get a TD5 cooler...will the TD5 cooler fit and be suitable for the 2.5 TDi
Thx

Kind regards,

HI, can any one help out with problem I'm having replacing an alternator on my 93 200TDI Defender?
I've got a few other electric issues but for now I thought I would change the under performing alternator with a standard 45 one.
simple enough I thought, ordered one, it arrived, removed the old one, then compared it to the new one and the connections are different.
the existing one has post type and the new one is a three spade euro type. I thought I had been supplied the wrong item, so I looked uner the bonnet of a laid up 200 defender and it has the euro connection . so i'm a bit confused. any suggestion welcome, thanks in advance

Hi guys - not quite land rover related - but how to you change your password on this site - i got a warning it has been compromised- that is all of us - thanks

Anyone wise to this as LRDirect are refusing return.

Hi I'm replacing the rear crossmember bolts with M80 30mm stainless steel bolts. The old slightly corroded ones came out quite easily. What torque should I tighten the replacements to? Thanks Baz

Greetings Landy Lovers

A bit of gossip first. I had the unfortunate experience to view a Defender being rebuilt but having a CORVETTE engine fitted. A bloody huge monster engine, the new tires just as unwieldy. Why in God's name would anyone want to bastardise a icon vehicle?" Its not a Landy anymore," said my daughter..."its a damn disgrace just an off road racing machine." Think why the SAS used the defender...because it was easy to work on and it worked in any combat situation albeit the "soft skin"

Right, that is off my mind and now to my question. I have an old girl, being redone gradually 130 2.5 TDi...front wheel bearings replaced and after 2000. kms re-torqued to the correct settings a few days back. Before the re-torque when the vehicle is cold and I turn left or right I have this squeaking noise and as soon as the wheels are straight the sound fades. Curiously when engine is hot at normal temp and run a few kms. the squeak when turn is gone...totally. The noise is back again---And Ideas- advice. Please?

Next...the oil warning light shows only when the engine has done a steep climb over a mountain pass or ambient temp outside is very hot...semi-desert Karoo South Africa. Its an infrequent warning and the "little black box" also beeps....but as mentioned only when engine has worked hard. Otherwise there is not sound or light signal. Ive not fitted an oil gauge yet,(have one) and according to the Landy garage boffins oil pressure should be about 1.76 cold start BAR and when hot .5 bar.

My prognosis to this red light warning is a bad grounding wire....thus can anyone "out there" point me to approx location on the chassis where I could check a faulty ground wire to the dash oil warning light. Or maybe there is another latent problem in the making!

Thank Mates.
One life-Life It.

Hi Folks. Preparing to replace the hub and seal to font wheel assembly on Puma 2.2. M10 Hex nut on the wheel Hub. Do you use a crows footspanner to undo. Are they also a traditional thread or is it reverse thread?

Hi everyone. My project is to rebuild a 1990 land rover 90 which arrived already stripped. The diagrams are brilliant as they've helped me identify items in boxes. I have to replace the chassis as its too far gone but I'm also looking to put a 3.9 V8 in as a replacement for the 200 tai.
My questions are the original gearbox is a lt77 and I think i will have to change the bell hosing as the v8 is an auto box, but which one and will the input shaft be long enough?
Also on replacement chassis are the V8 engine mounts all in the same place?
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I have a 2009 defender 90 that has raised suspension. I want to lower the car back to stock ride height. To do this, I know that I'll need to replace the shock absorbers and springs. What other parts need to be replaced? Radius arms? Panhard rods? Anti-roll bars? Upper and lower, rear link assemblies? What else am I missing? Any recommendations will be appreciated! Thanks.

Hi Will. The diagrams feature is fantastic - a valuable tool for trying to work out which part might be knackered. I wonder if it is possible to download the diagrams please? Thanks Simon

I'm thinking of converting my 1972 series 3 lwb to power steering using the RR P38 steering box. Has anyone any experience of fitting a pump to the the 21/4 petrol engine? any tips appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Everyone. I am having problems with my fuel gauge, it is seemed to be a simple problem, but I could not resolve it yet. The fuel gauge is always full, when I disconnect the cable at the sender unit goes to empty. I already replaced the sender unit and the gauge itself but no luck, gauge always go to full independent of the float position on the sender unit. The diagram shows a “low fuel level unit” I believe the problem is there, but I could find this unit anywhere and even on the parts manual. Anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks in advance

Does anyone know how to find the small screw that fixes an ignition switch to key cylinder. That size is maybe M2, but has 0.5 pitch that is not general. Everywhen I start the engine, I have to put my hand in the back pannel to connect the switch to the key.

Hello. I have a 1987 300 Tdi 110 CSW. I had a retrofit aircon System installed which I think was a Diawa or Daiwa or something similar. I’m looking for a replacement condenser or a decent repair on the existing one. Can anyone suggest a way forward please?

Thanks, Pete.

G'Day All.
Anyone know as to who made the C1048 Connector that is used on the 1999-2002 Defender. Its the one that connects the instrument cluster to the vehicle wiring loom C1040. Is it still available, or at least the PINS from the connector? I have just spent 2 days and nights going through 2 very BIG international suppliers of electric bits and bobs online catalogs for PINS and can't find the right ones. Frustrating when you don't even know who the company was that made the connector that your trying to fix in the first place.

Exhaust system confusion. I have a 1985 NA Diesel 90 with original chassis no. AA2448.. All the info suggests the correct part no for this vehicle is NRC8889. I bought one but having now removed the old components see that it was fitted with NTC1150 + NTC1149. I want to return the vehicle to as near original as possible but can't see how i can make the "correct" exhaust fit. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Because I'm not signed up to scoial media I'll stick a response to Wills latest Youtube video here regarding the Genadier link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjGTeAeDORo . So a few things to add a few things I disagree with. While I own a 110 project and a running going concern they are a bit of a hodge podge of parts from Jaguar Rover Australia rather that what normally is produced int he UK. My main experince is running a small fleet of 70 series in minerals exploration in the Pilbara area of Western Australia I watch Toyoya's strangle hold on the fleet go from 97% of vehciles on site in about 8 years plummet to about 3% of vehciles on site and TBH they were lucky to hold onto that. Yes the 4.5litre turbo V8 diesel was that much of a disaster.

Firstly a few things will suggested handbrake working on the calipers in 30 year toyota hasn't got it to do anything that resembles acutually working the 70 series is actually small shoes ont he inside of the disks, terrain tamer actually offer a disk brake to fit to the rear of the transfer case this is the superior setup IMO only whould prefer a disk over the landies drum, the drums fillt up with dust leaking oil etc and stop working very well.

Rather that trying to use toyota parts where you need the vin because its likely they randomly changed something because it saved them 20cents per item in the manufacturing process, standard size bearings ie generically avalible at a bearing shop rather than propiety half sizes some manufacturers are implementing.

I would of prefered to see a more widely avalible engine driveline supplier rather than BMW which here at least has a non existant presence outside the major metro area's here at least, I have an Isuzu powered landrover with a proper commercial motor in it not to be confused with the D-max motor. It works very very well.

Thins I would look for, manual yes, a proper low range not to be confused withthe excuses for low range gearing as fitted tot he 70 series hilux, dmax, ranger etc etc something at least as low and the 110. Other essential things and some of the things that killed the 70 series in the mining industry, air filtration proper cyclonic dual element filter and no a rasied air intake is not a substitute for one, definatly not one of the stupid flat pannel thigs that don't really work and if you do something checking it regularly are really easy to pinch the seal and negating the filter completely. Fuel filtration with water trap sedimenter primary and secoundary filter and not the carry over from you mechanical injected motor that is single element and stops working with 30ml of water. This will also improver reliability and reduce warranttee claims there really is no downside to this IMO. Alternator that is mounted just under the bonnet and not down somewhere near the sump, if the oil filter sits upside down in the engine bay a seperate drain plug for the filter. Full size spare do not hang it off the rear door on the wagon this has never worked on any 4WD I have ever come across it always either tears holes in the rear door or wrecks the door hinges if you are lucky both.

Cab chassi option big fuel tank (90litre minium) option of an aux and 7inch round headlights (easy to protect cheap to replace glass so they don't go yellow in the sun and plenty of LED upgrades so people so desire.

Trying to order a few bits and pieces for the 120 (I'll explain latter if anyone is genuinely curious). Mainly around the fuel system 1989 or there abouts. Anecdotally these were shipped out as single cab ute/pickups, knock down kits for a V8 without the V8. Then the 4BD1 was fitted so when ordering bits for the fuel system which on mine has been completely removed so no existing guides, looking at the diagrams I have a fuel sedimenter although it's not where the diesel diagram suggests it's closer to where they are fitted on the V8 although this may be a mod. However the V8 doesn't have a return line and the diesel very much does so it needs one. I know a 94 TDI ute tank bolts straight to the existing mounts I'm mainly after the clips and fittings for the fuel lines the lines we can sort locally.

I'm looking at the Fuel Pipes - With Sedimentor - 110/130 2.5L 4 Cyl Diesel to WA159806 diagram the inset looks remarkably like the side tank fitted to the 110 Perentie, I initially was thinking it was a twin tank system, does this seem right?

Hi,
What started as a new bulkhead is now a complete nut and bolt restoration. I'm trying to find a part number for the thread and bolt that attach the pipe centrifuge oil drain to the sump. The diagrams on here show them as bolts but that's not what has come/snapped off. 2001 td5 engine.

Many thanks

Land Rover Series 3 side panel to roof seal. LR Parts sold me this 333487 and whilst it sort of squeezed into the channel, it was very difficult. The side lip doesn't sit flush on the side panel and the when bolting the inside lips the alloy appears to bend under the strain of squashing the seal. Just doesn't look right. Nice and tight seal.. Their web site suggests 'Tub to Side Panel Seal" whilst the invoice clearly states "Side to Roof". Any suggestions?

Hello all
It's taken a long time to get here but I have a chassis for a 110 SW and all other parts (cab, engine, gearbox, suspension etc) from a 2007 110 SW.
Should there be any issues with putting these together? My mechanic (not a LR specialist) is saying the cab is not going to line up with the chassis as it's a bit narrow according to his checks.
If there are modifications to be made or specific kinks to look out for, any help in identifying those?
Thanks.

Hello Everyone
Can you help i have a 2.5 petrol engine fitted into my series 2A, engine manufactured around 1984. until very recently it ran really well.
It is now difficult to start and i am getting oil up through the breather into the carburetor so end up with a clouds of blue smoke.
i checked the spark plugs and cleaned them as they were all wet with oil.
Have disconnected the breather pipes from the engine so the carb is separate but still get blue smoke from the engine which does help.
I can only think the problem is either head gasket or valve stem seals.

Thanks
Has any one experienced this also if so please advise

Hi everyone

Looking for fastenings which hold the front wheel arch to the chassis. Specifically the front wheel arch to the chassis. there are two bolts which bolt directly to the chassis. Im looking for ones fitted to a puma.

Hello everyone,
is it possible to put the electric-infos (LRWorkshop-Section: "Electrics/Connector Library" as well as "Fuse Boxes") in the LRWorkshop-Site?
Thanks in advance and greetings

Hi everyone. My name is Hermann. I have a problem trying to replace the rear differential of my 2009 Land Rover Defender 90 2.5 TD5 manual 6 speeds. VIN SALLDVB589A781460. I don´t how the number of pins, bolts or splines , but I can see the number HRC1124 in it. I know this is not the part number but I shall be very grateful if anybody knows what type of differential I have to buy. Thanks in advance

Good evening everyone I am new to Land Rovers and I am learning quickly about the quirky nature of things. I have an issue with my wipers on a 1987 90. They only work at 1 speed, they do return to home, after I replaced a switch on the motor. Initially I thought there was a relay (9) behind the Fuse box. On my LR this is the Indicator, I checked the other 2 relays in this area but not the right ones. Can anyone point me in the right direction please.

Hi LR lovers, today I got an issue with my defender a military 110 petrol 4 cly 1996 , the water coolant comes from the exhaust as white steam, that coolant get empty, can anybody till me what the steps to diagnose this issue? this the head seal ( top one gone ) or the engine oil look good and the engine is starting but with steam from exhaust.

Hi all I have fitted on my Series 3 Selectro free wheeling hubs and wonder if anyone has found a service kit anywhere as ' referbing the front axle??

Hi Will@LRW. just a thought, is it possible to have a topic related to each thread to make it easier to search/find a specific subject?

LISTS Hi all. Is there some way to export or print from your lists? I wish to print just the part codes and name of the parts to email but I can't see a way to do this in the app. I can do a screen scrape and paste into an email but will likely lose any formatting. Any other options? Thanks

If anyone could help I am looking for the fuel locker inners for a military 110? Part numbers are LH FRC4746 and RH RRC4747 in the 1991 parts book, Blanchards have never seen them before and they are fitted to the 110 LS project vehicle that Mike is working on on YouTube.

Hi Anyone a good recommendation on how to keep track of your inventory of Land Rover parts you already have (at some location) in your workshop. It happens to me that I often end up wondering if I maybe have something ordered before and would like to keep proper stock. A simple spreadsheet is the most obvious solution but it would be nice to have something that is especially suited to LR parts. Any suggestions are welcome.

Good Day All,
I am getting a rackling noise somewhere around my right front wheel. It usually occurs over bumpy roads. I have looked at all visible parts around the area and nothing seems unusual. Any suggestions? Sorry I have a TD5 110 Defender 2005.

Hi all

I am doing a complete restoration on a 1982 Land rover 109 3.5 v8
How do i buy parts here online after I agree with a list?

Hi all,
Does anyone here know what size the bolts are that hold the standard Series 3 towing equipment on are? I know there are two 3/8UNF x 5" through the top, but threw the rest away and forgot how many & what size they were - I recall about 15mm or 5/8" OD.

Many thanks,

Sam.

Hello experts, I am a Defender Td5 110 owner from Germany. My Nanocom tells me "problem detected with driver" and it does not mean me but in the traces I can see weird Voltage from time to time of the throttle.
I am naerly sure I need to replace the potentiometer but it seems that I can only buy a complete unit SLC100210 / LR030568 (should fit for my MY 2000 10P engine, or ?) Does anybody know if just the plastic case with the electronics and connector is available somewhere ? I would be very thankful for any help.

well, is it possible to refit a 200tdi flywheel in the wrong position. or is it determinded by a dowell. i have to re set the timing and am not sure the locking slot in the flywheel is corectly lined with the bellhousing drain plug

Hi all,
Got a few questions about injector pumps - I sent my original one off a while ago to a specialist to get serviced and was told that it would need rebuilding. Not that I don't trust the guy, but it ran alright (-ish) beforehand and £500 seems a bit excessive to me. I could buy a reconfitioned one for under £300 or maybe it's £500 - You see, someone in the past changed some stuff in the engine bay.

1st, The cylinder head was a pale green colour, when the 2.25l diesel should be black.

2nd, The flywheel casing is a 5 main bearing version when I have a 3 bearing engine block.

3rd, the clutch cover bolts are M8, which means it's metric, on an imperial block ( Why on earth would you change a flywheel!?)

And finally, the Injector pump (maybe). It has rod and lever operated controls, only used until 1968. This is a 1979 Series 3.

As you can see, I'm a bit confused as to what has happened.

Tl;Dr: Which injector pump: 564495 Or ERR6604 for a weird engine?

Many thanks (If you understood that!)

Sam.

Hello. I have a Land Rover Defender 90 1996. I would like to use your website to buy many replacement parts I cannot find in my country, but I have trouble with identifying the correct codes. I think the solution would be to buy the catalog part manual on https://www.lrworkshop.com/manuals/land-rover-parts-catalogue but it has three options for my vehicle. Just to make sure, I need the one called "Land Rover Ninety/One Ten and Defender 90/110/130 from 1987 to 2006: STC9021CC". Right? Thanks in advance.

Hi , I own a Serie 3 with 2,5 NA diesel in it. I want to fit a engine breather on the engine, but what is the different between ERR506 or 541010 ?Exept th price. Does it fit on 2,5 NA because there is also the injectionpump on that place.

where can i find /Electrics/Defender2012-2016 .... thx

Can anyone suggest an alternative to this part as its ridiculously priced for what it is Genuine Land Rover Defender Intermediate Exhaust Mounting Bracket WCU101320 £79 is far to much for my taste. cheers

2012 PICK UP GOING THROUGH TURBOS AND EATING IT OWN OIL NEVER STRIPPED THESE ENGINES BEFORE JUST LOOKING FOR ADVISE CHEERS

Have a 1999 Defender 110 TD5 which has had an intermittent problem starting/running. Symptom when turn ignition on the ECU and glow plug lights do not come on and teh engine will crank but not start. When it first happened contacted the guy I bought the vehicle from and he told me to "waggle" the ECU looms under the driver seat, this worked and has done every time the problem has occurred. Had a guy try to trace the loose connection but as moving the loom tends to temporally reconnect he couldn't find anything. However the problem has been getting worse and so tried investigating to see if I could find which wire was causing the problem by starting up and moving various parts of the looms, until the engine cut. Move various parts of the loom until will start again and so on. After half an hour or so it seems that moving the blue plastic piece on one of the looms causes/fixes the issue so guess there is something loose in there. On looking could not see any way to open this part and looking on the internet it would appear that this is a header , but although I have the complete wiring diagram I cannot identify it for sure. A picture on another site suggested it is CO294, is this correct? Question is how do I open the header it this is what it is? Are spare header parts available and from where? As the headers in the circuit diagram appear to just connect wires together it it possible advisable to remove the header and solder the appropriate wires together?

Hi all,
I ordered a genuine 2nd Speed Gear for the LT76 gearbox 2 weeks ago but it hasn't showed up yet. The supplier has told me that they are trying to source one. My question is: Is it worth it - a genuine gear. And if so, where do I buy one to cut out the supplier completely?
Many thanks
Sam.

Hi all just joined today and so far very impressive site thank you. I have a technical question on my series 3 2 1/4 petrol rebuild and if anyone can confirm if the aluminium flywheel housing has a gasket between it and the engine block?

Just adjusted the valve clearances on one of my 300tdis. On top of the valve stem there is a small top hat that does not seem to appear on the diagrams. It is what the rocker arm presses on. I checked the other tdi and it has them too, which is just as well because on the first tai one was missing!!! Any thoughts gratefully received. The valve clearances were woefully out before adjustment at between .017" and .025" so I suspect it popped out and is in the sump somewhere.

Just broke the rear bottom link bracket (that is welded to the axle). Where can I get a part? I can just cut the old bit off and need to weld on the new one, but where can I source it?

Hi. I’m wanting to install new air duct vents JQB000010. Anyone know how to do this? It’s impossible to do without removing the metal locking attachment first. Cheers

I need to replace the rusted out U-shaped clamps that hold the door mirrors on to the brackets on my 110. Any idea where I can get them without needing to buy the complete mirror assembly?

Im looking to replace my fuel filter housing on my 110 DCPU TD5 Ive seen that GORE do a CNC version for approx the same price as a brand new LR part. Any opinions, also it requires the old brass fittings to be attached can these be bought brand new? Id rather put new ones on so that i have piece of mind. Cheers J

G'Day
On front vented brake calipers for a 2001 Defender 130 mounted in the spacer between the 2 halves is an O ring seal with a hollow pin inside of the O ring for the fluid to pass through, now on Wills diagram's it lists a part Number https://www.lrworkshop.com/parts/17H8764L but from just eyeballing it it looks to wide a diameter and far to shallow in depth to be the O ring I'm after. These O rings look more like a small section of rubber hose than anything else, say about 5-7mm in depth, any one happen to know what part number they are and where to get them from?

Does anyone know whether a particular axle type was fitted to military defenders? I have a 1995 300tdi that appears to have an earlier type axle than the vin would suggest, also the axle has no number that I can find. The problem has surfaced when having stripped the front axle because of oil dribbling from the axle end I have found that the stub axle seal (behind the needle roller) is the incorrect inner diameter and has never contacted the stub shaft. Trying to order parts is difficult without knowing what year the axle is actually from. Seals from the vehicle vin are the same as those taken out.

Hi interested in a shock absorber recommendation, I'm currently in the process of reviving an 1989 110 trayback/ cab chassi. So ideally without going off the deep end to something like Koni Raids any suggestions OEM, Terra Firma, Bilstien? something else. The ambition is to keep things factory looking so massive twin shock remote reservoir setups are not really in the picture. Just to confuse things the motor is the factory well JRA 3.9 diesel that weighs lots and the tray is rated for something silly like 1.5 tonne not that I plan on carrying that much on a regular basis.

Hi Peeps. I'm new here so please be gental with me. I'm the owner of three of Sollihulls finest, an 86 110 an 88 RRC & a 95 Disco. I'm part way though the refit on the RRC & have hit a snag. I'm useing an LT77 from an unfortunatly very dead 110 instead of the auto box & wish to use an oilcooler, as I tend to tow at the max & the Highlands are very hilly. My problem comes when I look for the pipes/hoses from box to cooler & see there are many to chose from. The problem is that the box is from, as I said, a very badly dead 110 of indeterminate age so ordering pipes by chassis no. & date are out. Can someone tell me the differences between the pre ja918062 pipes & the post ja918062 pipes other than the early ones are 2 - 3 times more expensive? Any advise will be greatfully recieved.

Team, Need to change all suspension system and shock absorber plus all bushing for defender ( Ex military)1996 (SALLDHAD8TA979129), so what’s your advice??? I need to go to workshop to do some work in my defender.
So what’s suitable bushing kit for this defender? There are no shock absorbers. It’s possible to install?
Thanks you again and what to say thanks for (Lrworkshop.com)team cause its best website ever for LR lover.
