    Landrover Defender 110 TD5 - cuts out and engine managment light comes on

    Is the wiring giving out the correct voltage ? 5v or 12v ? Could poss be the throttle pedal faulty...just a thought.

    Its gone stiff !

    My 90 has developed overnight, a stiff steering wheel, then it will free up and all will be fine for 100 yrs, then stiffen again. I've checked the fluid level, thats ok, there are no leaks, i've looked in fluid res while putting steering lock on both sides, there is a shimmering of the fluid...

    Gutted!!! Any thoughts??

    Got the same problem with a Ford focus Tdci, cuts out all the time ! Cleaned out EGR valve, and she ran for a day, then went on the blink again. Waiting to have new valve fitted as either valve stuck in either open or closed position. Pain in the arse for sure as it could be several things in...

    Well done We5ley, sounds like youve made it worthwhile for another years motoring... Ive got the same to come i would think, a C plate ninety with patching to the chassis required and a few other issues no doubt too! Carry on !

    Wipers packed up...

    They finally gave up the will to live this weekend, and yes, it was precipitation personified! Now i have a slight burning smell after about ten minutes of driving. Do we think its the wiper motor over heating ?

    Quieting down a 300tdi

    I love the sound of my 90, the rattles the bangs, the wind howling through the gaps in the doors and bodywork. Its great when er in doors is with me, i cant hear a bloody word she is saying !
  15. R

    Wont budge!

    Yes she moves freely now, just with no handbrake! I think i may have overlooked just adjusting it, and made more work for myself. Still, its done now. I had forgotten how uncomfortable it is working on your back in the rain under a car !
  16. R

    Wont budge!

    Well, changed the shoes, there was around half the meat left against the new ones. Cleaned and greased, but can i get the handbrake to work, can i fx%k ! Looks like prop off to take drum off and double check.....And no, before a smart arse mentions "why didnt you adjust before the prop went...
  17. R

    Wont budge!

    Thanks for the ideas everyone, she still wont move, so new shoes tomorrow and ill strip her drum down and see whats what. Sorry for late reply, but been a tad busy ! Will let you know the outcome.....
  18. R

    Wont budge!

    Parked my 90 up Sunday night, went to move her Monday evening, and she wont budge. Ease the clutch out and its as tho your trying to mount a high curb, she just rocks. Is this possibly a stuck handbrake ? She worked fine before.....
