Thanks to you both - most useful information Malcolm

Thanks for this - think easier to just go for a new receiver. Might be a stupid question but would I have to sync the new unit to the key and if yes, how?

Hi. Have a Disco 11 2003. Over the last few weeks the central locking has been playing up in that the receiver wasn't talking to the key fob and the only way to open/close was to activate the fob over the rear sunroof. Checked out internet and assumed it would be water in the receiver or poor...

Thanks very much for the information Brian - brilliant and back in business. I'll print off the radio details for next time. Cheers Malcolm

Hi. 2003 TD5 Disco 11. Forgotten how to reset radio/cd player. Handbook covers C42 and R990 but not the one I have. Can someone ID it from photo please then tell what buttons to press to set. I use button one for first number, then 2, 3 & 4 which is fine but then can't remember next sequence to...

Hi All I have a 2003 Defender 110 TD5. For quite some time the N/S passenger door doesn't always open with the key fob as the knob doesn't fully open; occasionally the other rear passenger door also sticks. Lately both front doors fail to open with both knobs not fully opening as are the back...

Too late - a day over Salisbury Plain was too much and the diff gave out - the noise was the final throes of it breaking up.

Surely someone out there knows an answer or at least an educated guest???????????

Hi All I have a rumbling noise from the front. I've had previous problems with the fitted double carden front prop and thought it was that about to go again. I already had a spare in anticipation! I took off the front prop and went for a drive (with diff lock engaged) and the noise disappeared...

Hi - my 109 series 3 currently has Avon Ranger Mk 11 750/16 C tyres all round, including brand new spare. There is enough tread to get through MOT coming up but will need 2 new rears (or 1 + spare) before next MOT or for serious mud plugging. Trouble is I can't find a direct replacement on the...

FYI - Bottom bracket bolts onto the radius arm front bush and onto the trailing arm bracket - I modified mine to slot over the bolts rather than have to remove the actual bolts as all the force is downwards

Just done a year overlanding in southern Africa where I broke a front coil & shocker, hence the upgrade for our next trip - anyway I think I've sorted out where it bolts to - ta

Hi All 110 TD5 - I'm fitting twin front shock mounts and can't for the life of me work out where the bottom mount bolts to - can you tell me where to stick it please! They are similar to these. Cheers

My son was driving his S111 109 yesterday and at one point went to pull off in first but she refused to move with loud knocks from underneath. He managed to pull away in second and drive the short distance to his house. When I tried to drive it it did the same thing forwards and backwards - it...

Thanks - the land rover garage in Botswana reckoned there were no faults showing but it hasn't been checked since - this may well be the route to go, cheers
