Hello all I’ve had an intermittent fault with our d4 for about a year now. Comes randomly maybe once a week and puts the car into restricted performance mode. I’m getting the code 1247 turbocharger boost pressure Low I have read online and the most common thing is the manifolds cracking so I...

Hello Wondering if anyone has any suggestions before I remove the power steering pump. Tyres have good pressure, 40 psi in 20” wheels, belt still there and fluid full. Power steering is weak, better than when engine is off but still noticeably heavy steering constantly Any advice? Thanks

Hello I have a 2010 discovery and over the last few days the car alarm randomly goes off. I have read it could be a alarm cct board battery? Or possibly a faulty bonnet switch? I’m not getting anything on the dash saying bonnet open. Are there any common causes of this or can I tell the reason...

Hello I have what I can only describe as a clicking/knocking noise from the front right of the car. This is intermittent and seems to happen randomly on not quiet full lock at slow speeds. some times it’s just a slight noise but sometimes it sounds as if something is going to fall apart...

Hello all hopefully just an easy one I press the button on the stalk and get nothing for washer jet spray? I have checked the fuse 38 for this behind glove box which is fine. The pump doesn’t even make a noise as I can’t hear anything? Is this a common issue or can I get to the pump without...

Hello I have a strange fault on my 2010 d4. When I go to flash someone or turn my main beam on, it doesn’t work. The blue dash light does come on and I can hear a relay under bonnet clicking but no light. But, the main beam will work if I have my head lights on which. Says to me it’s not a fuse...

Hello I have an annoying squeak from the rear drivers side wheel. When moving slowly and braking to a halt, it squeaks. When I stand on the wheel and rock the car side to side is squeaks really loudly. Sounds as if it’s coming from the air suspension unit or in that area. I have sprayed all...

Hello I have a strange knock sound from the drivers side front wheel. It only happens when I brake hard and come to a stop, then when I go to move forward, I have a sort of single knock sound and then it’s fine. It’s almost as if something moves forwards on hard braking and then as u drive...

hello Plan on using the defender for camping this year. Have converted the rear into a bed and storage with leasure battery and heating. I want an awning that I can quickly erect and also leave when driving away that comes of the rear of the defender. Ideally something not too expensive max...

Hello Have removed 200tdi engine sump to re seal, noticed some small pieces of metal in the bottom and a broken up ring about 10mm in diameter. Does anyone recognise them and should I be worried?

I’ve had all the doors and lock mechanisms of the defender and 2 of the doors have been replaced. I have refit then and can’t get any of them to close nicely, they either stick out by 5-10 mm or you can see day light round them. The bottom has a massive gap where you can see day light and you...

Hello I noticed my bolt in cross member was very rusty and flaking apart so removed it with the intention to weld in a new strut. Once out, behind where it mounts is very rusty and flaking apart also on the chassis rails. How can this be repaired without a new chassis? Was thinking weld in...

hello all Onto my next problem! :p The power steering seems to have stopped working. I have checked the forums and sprayed the steering UJs with wd40 which I felt made it mildly better. I noticed the tyre pressures were low so pumped up to 35psi I can see in the res the level is good and...

Hello all Intermittently, my starter will make a wirring noise as if it is spinning but not engaging when trying to start it. So far, it has always started again second time. I read on here that it can stick so I have stripped the whole starter motor and cleaned and rebuilt it it inc lubing up...

Hello all I have a squeal sort of noise that I can hear through the gearbox opening into the car. I’m thinking it could be something in the gearbox or possibly the exhaust vibrating on the cross member. I hear it between 40-50mph when acceleration slightly. It disappears when not acceleration...

evening I have bought a 110 1987 defender which has previously had a 200tdi conversion on it. The temperature gauge goes up to max after about 5/10 mins of driving. The engine isn’t hot and I was told when I bought it that a discovery sender is fitted and it’s the wrong one so I need to get a...

Hello all Rebuilding my 1986 defender 110. I want the dash and trim to look reasonable but as it's an old car, it's quite tatty. Is there a way to neaten things up or trim it to make it look newer. Or any threads on here of what people have done on a budget? So far, I'm just looking at glueing...
