if you mean the rear tail light on the body . i may have a used one

[525isport]

just to let you all know . i do diagnostic work on all TD5 landrovers thats Defenders and Discoveries . from ABS to Keys to engine . i am considering investing in the software for the disco 3 and Range Rover sport if there are customers who dont want to go to the stealership

I know this vehicle ... good deal!

[CD4Accord]

Well.. I went into Classic a few weeks ago and they told me that they no longer keep Defenders in stock... If you want one, you have to custom order it which lands here usually in the range of $400,000...

I am quite disappointed not only because of the no stock issue but also the problem of the massive price hike over last time I checked..

[greatbear]

hey ppl, Can anyone help me get a land rover badge for the back of my series?

what are you looking for ? 90 or 110 . i will have one of each available soon . pm me if your inerested

[CD4Accord]

525isport...
I have to be honest with you.. I am not on the market right now, I was just hoping to test drive a new defender to see how the comfort level and everyday usability has changed from the old models I knew as a child..

When/if I am ready I would be looking @ a 110 and I would be sure to contact you, but I just don't have the $$$ right now.. I would love to get an idea on pricing though

[525isport]

CD4Accord the land rovers you knew as a child cant come close to the new ones in ride quality,comfort,power and looks . when your funds are available we should have something for you . prices now are starting @ $145,000 up . they were cheaper but the £ (pounds) and shipping are high

Any of you here familiar with tuning up the 300tdi for a bit more power? Recently got a Disco in very stock form, but not so thrilled with the power, its an automatic as well.
I've not yet gone through a standard tuneup to determine if thats all it needs, so I'm hoping to find some local expert mechanic that could check it through and make reccomendations.
Thanks.

i can do the pump adjustment (if you have the manual pump) if its the electric pump then no adjustments can be done . if you cant tell what pump you have ,look for a throttle cable from pedal to pump (manual type)
but do a full service on the vehicle first oil & all filters (air ,fuel,oil) some vehicles may be fitted with sedimenter near fuel tank and will need cleaning out also . pm me for more info

[InDeForest]

Sure thing, thanks for the advice, its definitely the manual pump. I actually have brakes earmarked as the first order of business! I'd like to have a flush done and the master cylinder and booster checked out, then focus on minor engine efficiency issues and having a look at the running condition of the fuel pump and turbo. I took a drive up the steep paramin hills shortly after I got it, and after using way too much braking on the way down (due to my ignorance about the low range engine braking on descents), I found that the brake pedal had gotten longer and softer by the time I was back on flat ground, which terrified me, but since then the brakes have been perfect and I feel that I was boiling brake fluid by the end of that descent.
So brakes is #1 priority.

There is something that came to mind from previous experience, I think I would like to try removing the ventilation of the crankcase etc from the turbo inlet pipe, and providing that with its own separate filter to atmosphere (with an oil catch can), accompanied by a good flush out and cleaning of the oil buildup that I am sure is present in the turbo and intercooler, after that the turbo and intercooler will stay clean. Anyone else done this with positive results?

Also, is it common to fit boost gauges to these, or most people don't bother with that?

you sound like your going in the right direction .all good plans ,and very helpful on the 300tdi (cleaning intercooler etc) i have new silicone turbo hoses for the 300 tdi if your interested @$1,200 . boost gauge is good just to know your turbo is within range .

May I suggest you use some Castrol GT-LMA DOT4 brake fluid on the next flush? The elevated boiling points will definitely ease potential worries about boiling your brakes next time around... All at a nice price of maybe $80 in fluid per flush/bleed....
