    Defender TD5 Kangarooing / Acceleration problems

    Quick update - shame to leave a thread with no conclusion - not that we're quite there yet. Got the diagnostics read - courtesy of the AA after it ran like a dog and came to a blistering halt. A few readouts that made no sense like air con. And then two that did MAF - which I had unplugged...

    Hammering / knocking sound

    Thanks chaps - did the tappets a while back - may double check to see if they've moved - injectors appear all fine. What would be a loose hotspot? Cheers

    Hi chaps, Had a broken speedo cable on my military 110 - swapped it over for a new cable from Paddocks but it now reads ridiculous speeds which sadly I can't reach - as much as I would like too. So I guess it's giving an mph reading on a Kmh dial? Is there a special cable for Kmh? I'm clocking...

    Hi James, I read on one of the forum threads that you might be the man to speak to about reconditioning an engine? I'm picking up a defender 200tdi with 96k on the clock - Is it something you would take on? Do message me with more details on pricing etc if it is - cheers.

    Afternoon all, I'm new to forum (be gentle) and fairly new to owning LR's. I finally got my first a year and a half ago - an ex-military 110 - 25 years old but in lovely form and starts first time every time - brilliant. I'm getting a little tired of the lack of gusto the 2.5na kicks out...
