Those are exactly the sorts of noises I'm trying to drown out!! :D

Amp is underneath the cubby, and I have made larger spacers to raise the cubby an extra 20mm to clear the amp and give it some breathing room. Yes that is the idea, just a bare cubby ready to install your chosen sub, and you can fit your amp wherever you like although I will likely provide...

A leak Fix the leak :P Have a look round for obvious signs of leakage. If not master cylinder then you need to inspect the slave cylinder on the gearbox.

So I've been entirely uninspired by the sounds my Defender has been able to conjure up from its pathetic 4" speakers and finally decided to replace them with upgraded alternatives, plus a sub-woofer. I've done a lot of research on car audio installs in Defenders, especially sub placement, and...

Check the 4 bolts holding the prop to the handbrake drum. Mine did exactly this and 3 of the 4 bolts were slightly loose.

Ok so with the MAF disconnected today I moved the car and left it running whilst I grabbed some bits, came back and it was billowing white smoke and idling lumpy. I looked at the exhaust and it was very wet looking. This does not happen with the MAF connected, it just doesn't like to rev and has...

I have one of those bluetooth dongle thingies but it cannot show fuel pressures etc. Have just ordered an iCarsoft LR2 so will see what surprises that throws my way!

Thanks Nodge. Is there somewhere that air can get in either before or after the pump and cause cavitation in that general area? It sounds like white noise and is coming from the 90 degree hard line where it turns up towards the injectors at the front of the block down by the oil filter. If I...

Hey guys, I've had an ongoing issue with my 2004 TD4 that I have attributed to worn injectors. First start of the day would have you think that a tank has let off a smoke screen there's so much white smoke. It doesn't smell oily so I figured it's injectors leaking overnight. Engine idles...

Hi all, I'm looking for a Nanocom/Hawkeye for diagnostic on my 2006 Defender TD5. If you have one please can you include the cost of shipping to France please. Address available on request :) Merci boucoup!

Ok, been playing with the car and here's what I've found: 1.) Disconnected Inlet Air Temp sensor as I'd cleaned this before departing the UK - No difference, Torque App showed air temp at 41*c, whereas with it connected it was showing at around 32*c 2.) Disconnected MAF - rev's now build...

I'm going to hold on the oil level diagnosis for the moment as the car really is more uneven than it looks - just had a level to the sill and it is more nose down than I initially realised, and the oil doesn't smell at all of Diesel so hopefully if I move the car to flat ground the oil level...

just thought I'd add that I've never had any hot start issues at all, it fires up first time every time, hot or cold, and idles perfectly. Does this sound more like a pressure/pump issue than injectors? At high speeds on the autoroute it was fine; plenty of power, would pull past 80mph...

Hi Rob, So I've had a chance to look at the car today, and although it is parked on slightly uneven ground the oil level looks way too high. I'm going to carry out a leak off test, bur can you let me know which pump seal failed on yours because I am going to get the car recovered to a...

Where is the boost valve located and how can I check it's operating properly? Are all the vac lines easily accessible to inspect?

Will do, thanks. Can't do anything today, tipping down with rain but weather is looking better tomorrow.

Sorry, meant to say that there was no MIL light at all, and yes I have confirmed it is working when switching ignition on! :p I have one of those ELM OBD2 readers and there are no faults according to this. How accurate this is I don't know... I'm going to pull it apart tomorrow, carry out...

Yeah, checked oil level and it has been marginally over-filled... nothing to write home about. Fuel wise, I always fill up from a local shell garage on Nitro+ so I would hope it's not that. It has also continued since filling up in France on BP Ultimate. The noise seemed to improve today...

Yeah I think so. I'm hoping it's not some sort of engine knock to be honest as it had an oil change (5w30) by a Land Rover specialist, before which there were no issues.

TD4, very light throttle is OK, clacking under load on acceleration until around 2k then it quietens down and speed picks up.
