    Stunned!

    Hi, Me and my 12 year old son had our first pay & play day today at Briercliffe near Burnley. We've had our 110 hard top for a week so decided it was time to see what all the 4x4 fuss was about. Quite simply, we were stunned at what a couple of beginners like us could drive it up, across and...

    Defender Alloys

    £180 was a bargain, I'll give you £190 for them :) Located in Burnley so at least 2.5 hours each way, wouldn't be too bad but we are at the Harrogate event the week after then the IoM 2 weeks after that for the TT races. The wife is going to go nuts...

    Defender Alloys

    Hi, I've been looking for a set of decent alloys for my TD5 hard top but am a bit confused as to what will fit. Ebay often have a 'choose your vehicle' option on some ads but I'm getting conflicting results, is there an easy way to work out what will and what won't fit? Thanks Brian.

    I found the answer at Defender td5 throttle problems - Page 2 and managed to remove the 'hand throttle' gubbins, all sorted at last :)

    2005 110, only runs on idle, maximum 800 rpm

    Thanks John, I've had an auto-electrician at it for two hours today and it still won't rev up. The multi-plug connector that fits to the throttle pedal has no voltage at any of the pins. I could do with knowing which pin is supposed to be live at the pedal end and also at the ECU end. Currently...

    2005 110, only runs on idle, maximum 800 rpm

    Sorry, forgot to mention that they plugged the diagnostic gizmo in and there were 'Driver Demand' errors showing which couldn't be cleared. Has anyone heard of bypassing the loom?

    Hi all, I'm Brian and I've just bought an ex-Electricity company 2005 Defender 110 hard top, the wife hates it but me and my son don't care :) Hoping to get her dirty ASAP, that's the 110 not the wife! Cheers Brian.

    2005 110, only runs on idle, maximum 800 rpm

    Hi all, I've just bought a 2005 110 Hard Top at a local auction and could do with some advice if possible. It's ex-Electricity board and some items were stripped out before the auction. E.g. there's no winch or winch bumper but it has the lever on the n/s wing plus a plunger type lever in the...
