Personally I would get it reliable and mechanical issues sorted first and then move onto the body panels. When was the cambelt last changed?

Why don't you take the top cover off and check your work and the adjustments? If it was OK before and isn't now then it seems likely a mistake was made. Did you release fuel pressure before removing injectors, if not it's likely that fuel has...

Removed the bed system Fixed(pop rivit) a bar back onto the tail gate Installed the new spare wheel brackets to get the tyre off the floor. Off to shops for nuts/bolts/washers. Replace stocks And when the mrs won’t hold your nuts ;) use a...

Could it be a break in the wire from the inertia switch?

Ready for summer when it starts raining again 🤣

Whilst washing the 90, the blades needed replacing. A pair of Bosch replacements were purchased from eBay for a good price.

They said it’s most likely injectors. I can see how it could easily be as they are an unknown quantity. I’m just trying to rule out other obvious possibilities before getting on that particular train!

We have a car too yeah. Landy is going to be more for our adventures / camping trips, we want to make draws in the back and a dog bed above. Roof rack. Awning. Going to paint the doors to match the body. Get a spare wheel carrier put on. Just...

We go to Wiltshire or West Berkshire on occasion if you fancy coming along. Usually post up in the Green lane section before we go.

Dry and dusty again. Twas my son's girlfriends first trip, don't think she was that enthusiastic about such activities. Only did a few hours in the end. Will get a video done sometime soonish.

If the fuel pump isn't running and you have checked everything else then maybe it's the fuel pump itself? Quite common to fail.

I have grease in mine, from factory, and the swivels are chrome. (Td5 90) My son's has early D1 swivels and they are chrome and has ep90. It has a fill hole and drain hole. Not sure the finish on the swivel is relevant, could be wrong though.

What does the tuning company say?

Update…. 3good days of lanes. We decided not to do strata as lots of bikes out on the Taffy Dakar. They warned us 1 normal lane had a landrover off the edge & rolled down the bank & been there a few days. We was able to miss the section...

Ok, reading into it they didn't have a clue so changed the lot. I saw a video on YouTube about a fellow with a D5 which needed a new loom, Land Rover had the vehicle for months waiting for a loom. I think you will find many manufacturers don't...

So, what are your plans for your Defender in terms of using it? (Apart from fixing it) I presume it's not your only vehicle.

We just picked it up from garage, just a brake shoe set not the drum. Front and rear flange set. Had been leaking a while! Let's hope that's it for now 🤞 Thanks for all the help and you all diagnosed it from just a bad photo! 😊

Sounds about right for Land Rover. Being an older out of factory warranty then I don't understand why an auto electrician couldn't have repaired the wire? Did you get to see the actual faulty wire?

As mentioned above you need to put it on a rolling road before and after to see the difference. Anything which claims a hp increase needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, be it air filters, exhausts, tune etc.

Day 5…. New wiper blade needed(replace 1 now the other has broke) Filled screen wash up Checked oil Kicked tyres All good & 180miles drive home.

Doubt you need a new drum, maybe the equivalent flange and seal as per the front one. It's advisable to replace the shoes but I don't bother to no ill effect. Probably cheap enough and since you are paying for them to be taken out might aswell...

I usually would but Mrs K was out so I thought I’d use the hoover whilst she wasn’t looking!😁

I guess it's possible you haven't adjusted the rockers/injectors correctly.

I use a dust pan and brush inside mine.

Washed it and polished it. Hoovered out the inside too. I got carried away… 😂

Just had a look on mine 1 comes from top fuel filter connection and is the supply to the IP 2 pumps to fuel filter , the other union on lift pump is from tank 3 is the fuel spill line from injectors and back to tank via a banjo union

I also wouldn't be putting 80psi in a tyre . Mine are about 36psi.

12v going to the stop solenoid on the injection pump, gravity feed some fuel and starter motor to battery is about it. Take the 12v off the stop solenoid to stop it.
