Thank you @lynall. I took a punt and brought a new crankshaft sensor. Went to fit it and it seems like someone let the apprentice over tighten it! It is going to be a fiddly job to get it back in!

Thanks for your reply. It does run, and it runs really well. Its just the starting that is the issue. My diag unit only codes the injectors. It wont read the data for some reason. So I might just try and recode them. Instagram Video of it starting - Link Just to bounce an idea around. The...

Good morning / afternoon all. I have a major head ache with my defender!!! (Would you believe!) I have recently had my head gasket replaced after it decided to pretend to be a steam train. It does not start unless I have a bit of brake cleaner / easy start down the air intake. Then it takes...

Ive had a similar issue recently. My 90 started overheating on half hr plus drives. I didn't loose much coolant though. You are right, it could cause a head gasket issue but as lynall said. This is unlikely. The temperature gauge should have picked up the overheating issue before you lost your...

Thank you for your replies i am going to investigate them this weekend coming. Hopefully something is obvious!

Ill see if I can re sync the fobs to the ecu. Do you know where abouts in the handbook I can find it? Thanks for you suggestions. :)

Hi all, I have a problem with my alarm and central locking. The other day I locked it with my fob. When I came back it wouldnt unlock. The spare set still worked so i used that. Today the same thing has happened to my spare set and the main set still doesn't work. The alarm will not disarm...

Hi all, I have a problem with my speedo. It will cut out half way through a drive to work. It sometimes it comes back on sometimes. There doesnt seem to be a pattern or anything like that. The rest of the dash is fine. The milage counter stops so im thinking the speed sensor is on its way out...
