1994 Land Rover Defender - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Use good quality belts from the list of manufacturers out there, Gates is very good and so is Goodyear.

it should be under the drivers seat.....
hope this is helpful

check to see if the cable or the shifter inside the T-box is operating properly. What I mean is to disconnect the cable and manualy shift it and drive , If it pops out look inside the box if not you have problem on the outside,which is not hard to figure out. If it is inside I will look for a trusty Technician to look at it . good luck

Have you checked the power steering fluid level, common leak on a landrover.

Some of the power steering boxes are fitted with a bleed nipple located on the side of the box: open the reservoir and leave cap off; unscrew the drain nipple and drain.
If there is no bleed nipple, unscrew the lower hose and drain. don't be in a hurry. give it time to drain properly. replace the bleed screw or hose. Fill the reservoir to the top and allow time to drain in, periodically topping up.
Start engine and check level, top up if required. while idling, turn steering left and right to full lock and check level. continue till the pump is quiet and the level is stable in the reservoir. You will have to check the level again the next day.

I am unsure what your looking for but i will send you what I got .

blotchy wear is a sign of worn shocks

Its possible the fuel lift pump is faulty. remove the fuel filter, if you see that its half full of fuel, then this will tell you the pump is at fault.
There is a lever on the fuel lift pump, turn the ngine till you feel itgo harder, then feel the travel of the pump and if it is firm or easy to operate.
Lift pump failure is common on these.

Hi There. One possible approach would be, with the ignition off, remove the fuses one at a time and place a multimeter, set up to measure current, across the fuse terminals. If you do not have a multimeter, a low wattage bulb (5W) with wire attached may work. Some equipment like the stereo will use a few millamps but any significant current draw will identify the circuit responsible. Then use the manual to find which equipment is fed from that fuse or see what equipment does not work with the fuse removed. Mechanical relays can stick causing current drain problems. I wouldn't think there is a direct short because this would blow the fuse in the circuit. The alternator itself can drain a battery if the rectifier starts to break down. As it is difficult to measure current going through the alternator, you could measure the battery voltage while the alternator plug is removed. A small increase in voltage (maybe less than 1 volt) occuring at the same time as the plug removal would suggest current draining through the alternator. The voltage measuring technique can be used for the fuse removal if you prefer. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Check the flexible tube between the tank and the filler cap and the outlet hose from the tank. It's probably a slow drip which means it's leaking all the time though.

can you explain in more detail on how it responds to turning of the steering wheel?

Check battery for a early sign of wear Bad cell !! Also have your alternator tested by PEP Boys or AUTOZONE on A tester unit !! swampratt200 !!1 AAAEEE!!!!

aftermarket clutch kits for this vehicle run $500-750 and about the same for labor to remove transmission and service clutch and plate...allow $1500 for this repair.Dealer price for parts and labor could double this estimate...good luck

hi mate i think the other chap is talking about the fuel cut off switch which is behind the center console have you lost fuel or spark i think you have a 2.0 petrol engine i would look at dizzy cap and arm then check valve timing has not jumped cheers furry

Difficult to determine but i would go for pump, as its easier, cheaper and more common a fault.

TL

Fuel injectors on TD5 are adjustable.Turn the engine over while noting the camshaft position.There are marks behind the cam chain sprocket 1 - 5.With each line next to the number set in the middle of the cam box hole. Adjust the injector stop screw fully in (clockwise),turn the stop screw one full turn out 360 degrees and lock the nut there.Do this with all the injectors in turn with the injector coinciding with the number on the cam shaft.

You put aftermarket seats in a Land Rover? Recommend you contact your seat supplier.

Those numbers refer to that piece specifically. The chassis serial is usually in a plate on the windshield. Check the owner's manual for instructions on where to locate. Some scanners to do fault diagnosis, has option of chassis serial information

first there are 4 small phillips screws under the lower half of the steering column covers. once you take that plastic stuff off, you can see that the rest is attached by screws also. The wires are a hassle as they go down to a tight area under the dash and you have to remove tough little barrel clips one at a time.
