Thanks for that DM - will certainly suggest this. Am honestly at my wits end - been without my Defender for 4 weeks now!

Hi Tom Thanks for the reply. The injectors were tested down south and reportedly all failed!

Hi all, A few weeks ago I wrote about my 2000 TD5 having all it's injectors failing (had previously been piggy backed). Since then I've had the injectors replaced and have eventually got them re-coded at a "Land Rover specialist". However, the garage is telling me the engine if failing after...

Hi all, Managed to track down a set of 5 used injectors for £350, with that price I'm getting my injectors coded and a diagnostic ran to check the ecu is set at standard. Interesting to see the results!

Hi, The model part is MSC000040, having a wee look online, it appears it's the blue collar, for the 99-01 model

Thanks for looking. I found these on ebay myself, the breakers told me they are compatible, but my local landy garage said their not. So, I'm a bit stuck as to what to do

Hi there, My 110 is a 2001 on 100k. The smoke was dark grey and murderous on the lungs and eyes!! I did drive to the garage, felt very under-powered. My garage had the head off and diagnosed the dropped piston. The diesel testing centre tested for compression, spray pattern etc I'm looking...

Hi all, I put my td5 into my garage as I was getting excessive smoke from the exhaust. My mechanic discovered I had a dropped piston and suspected one or more injectors had failed. He sent the set of 5 to be tested, where it was found that 4 of the 5 had failed and the 5th on its way out. The...

Autosocks are fantastic, amazing traction in snow and ice, quick to put on and take off. Good enough for those huge artic' trucks in Colorado(truck drivers were getting killed, due to the time it took to put chains on. Other drivers were wiping them out), so I'm sure they are good enough for a...

Hi all, Pick up my first landy tomorrow, a cracking DCPU from Strathearn Engineering:) My current car insurer has told me they won't insure it as the DCPU is classed as light commercial. I'd be very interested to know of others experience and prices quoted for fully comp' insurance. I've...

Thanks for the reply. After test driving at Strathearn, I was very happy with the approach and knowledge of the staff. My gut instinct told me they would be a good bet for my first Landy! Thanks again

Just thought I'd ask if anyone has had any experience of dealing with Strathearn Engineering or Lix Toll Garage? Basically, I'm looking for a trustworthy dealer in the Tayside/Fife area for my first Landy. I had a test drive at Strathearn Engineering and I was very happy the service and...

Thanks to everyone for the invaluable advice!

Hi there, My wonderful wife is buying me a defender for my 40th. I have wanted a defender ever since I was a kid, spending hours pretending to drive my great uncles series 1. I was hoping I could take advantage of the fantastic wealth of defender knowledge this forum has when buying my...
