You and your mate are getting well ripped off.
Defenders are ridiculously easy to work on. Sure they can be a bit annoying as they are old, but they were designed to be fixed with minimum fuss and c ... |

| You can check the stat opening temp using some hot water and a thermometer in a pan. Useful for your own peace of mind that the stat is fully opening at the correct temperature. |

The standard temp gauge on a 300tdi is rubbish. Dont go by the temps as they are wildly inaccurate. Use a dedicated gauge or MadMan if you can.

You have air in the system.
The header tank on a 300tdi is too low, so try unmounting it and raising it up on blocks, squeeze all the pipes through in the direction of flow and then remove the ther ... |

Echo all of the above. Mine had 226k miles on it and the engine ran fine.
With that kind of mileage, there will be wear and tear on friction areas - bearings, oil pump, thrust washers, cam lobes a ... |

Its a really simple job on a 300tdi, but you will have to remove the crank bolt and pulley. Land Rover Toolbox has the instruction videos on his YouTube channel.
Shouldn't take more than a morni ... |
