    Defender brakes

    Hi all, I've got a defender 110 TD5 ex utility company that I use for work. With all my gear in it, it weighs just over 2.5 ton. I want to replace the brake pads as they are getting worn down. What pads would you suggest I use to maybe upgrade the performance a bit? The discs are ok and don't...

    hydraulic log splitter

    Hi all, I have an ex utility company 110 td5 with a hydraulic winch on the front bumper. Has anyone heard of running a log splitter of the hydraulic system on one of these? I have approx 16 tonnes of wood to split and not looking forward to doing it with an axe! Any input much appreciated.

    Clunk on defender pulling away

    I've been concerned for a while about a clunk that happens when you pull away or change gear on my td5 110 county. I've just jacked up one side and with handbrake on tried to turn the wheel.

    Td5 heater

    Hi all, got a problem that's baffling me. Any advice most welcome. My td5 54 plate heats up really quickly and blows nice hot air out of the vents. Not the problem. My x reg td5 doesn't do what the other one does. It takes approx 15 miles before the temp gauge can be bothered to get its backside...
