Sorry, what exactly does the Puma model refer to? does in include the replacement for the Td5 or does it refer only to the most recent 2.2 engine? I can't find this clearly on the internet.

I have a Defender 110 and am considering buying a 130 Crew Cab for use as the base vehicle on which to have "Bimobil" living quarters built. Land Rover price "air conditioning" for the Crew Cab at 1690 Euros. I'm puzzled, though. Surely every modern vehicle-even including a Defender-has a...

I ordered a full service, including changing all the oils. I asked these questions, obviously, because I didn't know the answers, and so I, myself, cannot disagree with any answers that forum members are kind enough to give me. That said, I was told by another source that the front brakes, if...

My Defender had been standing for many months without being driven. Eventually I got it to a LR mechanic and asked for a full check and service. I have security wheel nuts on all wheels, so left with the mechanic the special removal tool. I’d assumed that for a full service, the wheels...

My LR Defender is a 2005 Td5 CSW. It’s done about 61,000 miles from new (no previous owner). It’s been off the road for some time and at present is being made roadworthy at a LR workshop here in Germany. The engine couldn’t be started (taken on recovery vehicle to workshop) and the mechanic...

Not good news. After replacing both batteries, after 30 hours of slow charge, the engine would not start. At the first attempt, the battery seemed strong (“normal”) but by the third or fourth try, the engine was being turned over only slowly. Someone living in the street showed...

With regard to my original post, thanks for answers. My vehicle is a Td5 110 CSW and the batteries are Land Rover originals, fully-sealed "no maintenance" type (12v 110 A hr.; RC 195 MINS; 800 AMpS (BCI) YGD100860. There is a round plastic "window" on top of a battery. The handbook tells me that...

Thanks. Have a nice evening!

Thank you, mundungus, I'll try to amend my profile.

Thank you for these replies. In response to timtheenchanteruk: because my vehicle is parked in a street at least 15 km from my home, but 150 meters away here's a garage that will do it for me (not for free, of course). I'm quite money-conscious; if there was a better (which doesn't, though...

I posted a question on here about the matter of not havingused my LR Defender and having flat batteries because of having started the engine several times and then not subsequently going for a drive to get them charged. Since I received answers to thatquestion, which I acknowledged and thanked...

Hi discomania. Thanks for your reply. It would have been better if, instead of assuming that the way to go was “parking up” and starting the engine every so often, I had sought advice about the best thing to do. But the past is the past and I have my LR, still with two flat batteries and...

In late March 2012, last year, I parked my Defender Td5 CSW. Other than starting the engine every couple of weeks and letting it run for five minutes or so, I didn’t use it until mid-November last year. Had I had it insured, I would have driven it further. Then, in mid-November, I drove it...

I would like to contact LR Defender owners living in Germany, preferably but not necessarily in or near Berlin.

Siliconwombat, thanks. Was your message incomplete?

Dear BearDy89, Thanks for your reply. I know you're trying to be helpful but I posted because I need that information about where there's an LR-capable garage in that part of England. Yes, it's beyond my limits, otherwise I'd fix the heater and do the service myself rather than take it...

I will shortly need a routine service for my LR Defender Td5 CSW (and also repair to a non- functioning heater) and would like to get in touch with a local (therefore, I hope, reasonably low-cost) local garage which is Land Rover experienced and capable. I wish to find this garage somewhere...

But my post said we already have a Defender and want to convert it.

For the past eight months or so, two of us have been travelling and living in our Defender Td5 CSW 110. Since we intend to do this for several years, the time has come to make it more comfortable and spacious. On wet, cold days and evenings, for example,we want to have somewhere to sit other...
