Mate - awsome love it and very envious. Just wondering whether your rpm prob is air related rather than a fuel problem. I had a td5 that wouldn't rev over 3krpm and it was a turbo / intercooler hose that had delaminated and collapsed internally and was restricting breathing and rpm, couldnt see...

I'm about to lose my storage for my 90 that lives in north wales. What's the verdict on storing vehicles outside that aren't used much. Should I buy a good tarp to cover it and keep the weather off or is this likely to do more harm than good with the landy sweating and rotting under the sheet??

Thanks for the responses. I did search but didn"t find anything exactly accurate to this problem. For benefit of future searches; this problem is now resolved and the alarm light is now out. I followed the emergency starting procedures in the manual which involve a sequence of turning the...

My 2001 Td5 110 has a factory alarm which I have never used (thought key fob was knackered) or heard sound. Whilst replacing the batttery today the alarm started to sound on reconnection. It went off after a while but now the alarm light in the centre of the speedo is flashing permanently. If I...

Hi. About to embark on my hols in my 1983 RRC on original 3.5 on carbs. The fuel pump (below rear door area on chassis) is making a constant clicking noise. I have noticed it for a while on initial start up but now it is constant. As I'm about to go on a 800 mile ish round trip I don't fancy a...

OK - thinking of respraying my metalic racing green defender a different colour but stuck for choice... I like artic white and bonatti grey and some of the new colours.. what is your favourite colour then guys? photos ideal

Guys - you often see Defender's for sale in various Landy Mags entitled 'For Export Only'. Why are they for export only? Are they significantly different to vehicles in the UK and is there any chance they could be registered in the UK? I have it in the back of my mind that they may be 'new'...

Rob - nice motor. Enjoy getting it right that's half the fun. Where are you? I'm in Dubai and have a rather unfortunate landy bug x 4!! Some great off roading and camping to be had. What engine you putting in? 3.9i disco would be good straight fit option. AAA are good for landies but expensive...

Mr Hockley - you might guess who this is. What you have there is a standard ME V8 AC dash up until they brought in the Td5 when it went under the basic dash. You have exactly the same dash as I have in my red 97 v890 albeit mine is black and grey plastic and not walnut lookie like. Best

Sorry guys but you are massively over sensitive re the electrics in a TD5. The TD5 is absolutely rock solid - and can take much abuse. I have a Td5 expedition 110 135,000 on the clock and the engine is the best bit. I;ve also driven a disco v8 3.9 EFI 230,000 km and never had an issue with the...

Had a similar problem with TD5 Def and it turned out to be a collapsing turbo pipe. Don"t assume just because they look ok they are ok as under load and full turbo pressure they are under serious strain and I cant imagine that you are able to check them at this time. Mine had almost delaminated...

Guys I am looking at buying what I believe could be one of the last North American Spec 90's. It has a 4.0 v8 gems engine and autobox. It's not a cheap buy so keen to check it out. Can you point me in the direction of a website that can confirm it is a genuine factory NAS and even better can I...

Can anyone tell me what size and what thread nuts I need to fix my door tops to the door bottoms. Also is there anywhere to order online? Local suppliers only seem to have metric! Thanks.

Rebuilt my series 2a front hub last week to replace the hub oil seal. I replaced the main rubber hub seal at the back off the hub but couldnt for the life of me work out where the small felt oil seal (RTC3515) that was provided in the kit should go. There wasnt one on when I dismantled and the...

Where /how do I replace the oil that has been leaking out of the wheel hub on my 2a? Is it the filler on the inside of the hub assembly at the top above the chrome swivel ball? I assume it is here rather than at the diff. Thanks and yes I know I need to replace the hub seal and check the...

Thanks guys most helpful will order the extra parts. How long should this take me? What tool / filler do you use to get oil into the top of the swivel?

Hi. recently aquired a 1963 2a. I need to replace the front hub seal which is leaking. I've ordered a hub seal set - is there anything else I should replace as a matter of course? Car is currently in Leamington Spa and I am out of the country. When I return to the UK at the end of the month I...

Hi guys. Just aquired a 2a. All good so far but will need some work before long I am sure. Can anyone recommend a good specialist garage in the North Wales area that can be trusted to do some renovation work ie new bulkhead? Would love to do it myself but time is an issue as I'm spending long...

The pumas have an electronic speed limiter as standard which is set from memory to 80 mph. You describe a fuel starvation sensation which would lead me to think that this factory speed limter is still active and your reported top speed sounds close to 80 mph. If you haven't had the speed limiter...

1. get a rev counter to check revs against speed, 2. If revs are hi change transfer box for disoc 1:222
