Hi, I'm interested in buying a 1985 Land Rover Defender V8.Owner says the clutch is slipping when engine is warm. What is required to fix this and what would approximate cost be?

The alternator regulator is faulty. You will need to take it to a auto electrician to repair it or just replace the whole alternator.

on a land rover theyre between 0,38 y 0,41... you may wanna go inbetween on yours..

check the distributor advance unit pull the pipe off and then **** on advance unit to see if the diaphragm moves and stays in ,because the membrane goes then it will not start ,so you advance the distributor and it will start ,but once it gets hot the engine will not start unless you ****** the timing that bit .then when you do that it will not start when cold .

The car you are looking into has the same engine as this car (link) http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/sbs.htm The gas millage on that car would be 12MPG (city), 14MPG (highway) and a combined gas millage of 13 MPG. Hope it helps and please rate the answer if it was helpful to you, thanks!

if yours is a defender 110 then thats a rare machine .. there were only 500 in the country. ..
here is some good info on identifying all land rovers

this is info on your defender

under ..body parts.. they show lots of stuff for land rovers but little for your model since its so rare.
they claim they have a full line of parts for the defender so maybe a call to them might hit pay dirt

some interesting stuff about the defender here including some colors ..

here is some paint colors for 93 land rovers

this gives the color as alpine white and gives instructions on how to find paint codes

maybe too much information but everything about that machine is so interesting .. and it still has high value .. maybe a classic

Hi you can buy little double sided pads to do this but make sure the cab is warm when you fit it.

Alternatively superglue but you will need to hold it in position and tape it up to dry, Pads are the better option. let me know if you need a stockist and I will post you the link.

yes its the torque convertor automatics dont have a clutch

what do u need help on?

hi my name is neil and im time served on land rovers this was a problem with the first ones that came out and it was the clutch that was at fault. it was made on the cheap and needed to get replaced most landy dealers should be able to do the job in under 3 hours but i think the book time was 6 so if you do get it done watch them do it so they dont over charge you.
