    rear door lock barrel for rear door lock 02-on

    I had to replace my rear door lock mechanism...and of course the lock barrel on the old lock is ruined. What lock barrel goes in the 02-on rear door lock? I have a spare long lock barrel from a recent defender (past 5 years) and it doesn't fit. I am thinking maybe it is for the side...

    TD5 Heater blower issue

    The heater only blows on the setting just before "max". I'm not sure if this is a switch or resistor issue. It was working a few weeks ago on the max setting...I do also have factory AC if it makes any difference in guessing the problem. Any thoughts? I found the below thread but am...

    tdci puma water pump leaking oil

    I'm getting a steady leak from the gasket between the water pump and the engine in my tdci. Is there a trick to this? I am on my second gasket and don't want to ruin it. I'm almost certain the pump is fine. Do people use gasket sealer? Am I doing something wrong? Is this an area...

    TD5 Alarm issues, Double Honk when lock

    I have checked all the door switches and bonnet switch (I also tried unplugging it), but can't get the alarm not to honk twice when I lock the doors with the fob. I now pulled the alarm fuse as a temporary solution but really don't like parking without the alarm. If it is not the switches...

    TD5 Defender interior light/fuse smoke help!

    The front interior light on my 90 was "flickering" and the rear light was out. I went to change the bulb on the rear light and got a spark at the bulb. Immediately the fuse melted and some smoke came from behind the center console (at the time I thought it was from the fuse). I put in...

    TD5 Air Con Compressor help (relay location)

    I will start off by saying that I know the air conditioning is not great, but I would just like to get it working! I'm not getting power to the compressor and trying to locate the relay (I believe I found the fuses and they are fine). I see two yellow relays under the seat box that...

    I have a set of RTC9535 wheel locks and cannot find the key. There is no letter or marking stamped anywhere on the wheel lock (that I can find). I'm attaching a picture of the lock, does anyone know where I can get a key? The keys on ebay all seem to be for wheel locks for alloy wheels...

    seat reupholstery question

    So I have a few rips in my td5 techno front seats and was looking at the reupholstery kits. Does anyone know if you can fit the kits that include foam for tdci seats onto td5 seats? Or does someone make a kit to do this? I figure if I have to take the seats apart I may as well upgrade them.

    td5 defender stuck at 70mph

    Over the past few months I have changed the MAF and map sensors, fuel pump, fuel filter and put in an ecu with a big remap. As of Wednesday night, I was comfortably doing 80-85 mph. It has been working flawlessly like this since December with no problems. I took the Defender to a...

    blinker/flasher-like noise td5 defender HELP!

    In a td5 90, a directional-like noise comes on frequently. The noise is roughly the same speed as the directional, but there are no indicator lights coming on the dash. It has come on when the headlights were turned on, but I believe it has also come on when going to high-beam and am...

    Defender 90 2006 td5 directional/alarm/hazard problem

    My directional blinkers are going off (hazard flasher style) when I go over a bump in the road at a decent speed. I have to restart the engine to get them off...is this related to the alarm? Anyone else have this problem? It is not the hazards going off, but the directional signals the blink...
