Hi there. Been having a few issues with starting recently and having done a search it seems it may be caused by either air in the fuel lines, dodgy glow plugs or oil in the injector harness. A brief bit of history about my TD5 (defender). Has had a new (OEM) fuel pump fitted 2 years ago...

hi mate, hopefully not too far from where i am - north of glasgow. theres a few places going to get back to me with prices. you recommend anywhere?

hi guys, had a lot of difficulty changing gears last week, clutch pedal was erratic (one minute there was pressure, 10 minutes later goes limp, then worked again). going by the threads on here, i ended up getting the local mechanic to change both the master and slave cylinders. picked it...

hi guys. attached are some photos of what im assuming is the fuel filter housing at the off side rear of my defender. noticed a smell of fuel yesterday, and today catch a glimpse of a few drops of fuel falling from the bottom of this housing once i'd switched the engine off. i only got the...

yup. only had it two weeks, but i aint going to be driving anything else. got stopped by the cops tonight (claimed i had no insurance when it was their system that was wrong:rolleyes:) and got asked if i was a farmer. should of asked him if he was as much of a d1ck as he looks:)

thanks again guys. got meself one of those hi lifting trolleys jacks from halfrauds. indeed they are good for some things.

smashing guys. thanks for the replies. :)

hi guys. seen various ways of doing it but its all dependant on what kind of sills etc you've got. i dont have sills but the defender came with one of those hi-lift jacks, which im not too keen on using. i guess im looking at a trolley jack, but whereabouts are the jacking points??:)

balls deep in a defender? fnar fnar:D

i saw those stickers with this months mag but i reckon they'd be off with the first rain shower:)

:D its true what they say though. buy a pool table for the spare room and within a year you'll be using it as a workbench:o:D

what!!!????? no road tax or MOT with it:eek: :D

well, mine arrived this morning - got it sent to my work. i have to say i was surprised at how heavy it was:eek: easily 5 kilos. its constructed of powder coated steel with the rubber flexi-joint. i always thought these things were made from ABS or the like. opened it up to find everything...

ive just bought the exact one from the same seller. it was £49.99 with FREE postage!!! well, that was 4 days ago and maybe hes had a rethink on the price:). hopefully get it in the next few days, but at free postage, he'll probably send it the cheapest (and slowest) way possible.

:laugh:thanks guys:) my mate got me into defenders a few years ago, he has an M reg 300tdi and ive been driving about in that a few times. being very into the great outdoors and fishing (i have a small 3 man cabin cruiser) there really was only one choice when it came to getting a new set of...

hi everyone. after having browsed this great forum for the past few months, i thought it was only right that I join now that i've finally got myself my new toy:D im based just north of glasgow. took my time and settled on a 2004 TD5 county. had her almost a week now, and im as pleased as...
