I gave the fuel tank a few good kicks after the pump stopped working. Might not be the right way to do it, but it's been working ever since and worth a try.

After trying to get it up and running last night with no luck, I got a friend to tow it. It took a few tries, but I got it up and running again. Strange thing is that the pump got the normal high pitch whine back and the TD5 is now running better than ever. Starts up faster, revs better and...

Small update! After making sure there was no noise from the fuel tank I got annoyed and gave the fuel tank a few good kick, and all of the sudden the pump was up and running again. It sounds like it's about to give up, not the high pitch like normal, but more like a scared cat inside the tank...

No noise what so ever, which is odd when I think about it know. There are usually some whining from the back when turning the key, but now it's just a little from behind the instruments. The fuel filter was full when I changed it 5 min ago, but if the diesel doesn't get any further than that...

No noise from the fuel pump, no tampering with the injectors, and no new fuel filter recently. Could it just be the fuel filter? I will change that tonight, if that doesn't do the trick I will have to go to shop and get it plugged in for a test. Hopefully that will tell whats wrong. Thanks

Hi My 00' Defender seems to go into "limp mode" when I start it up. It won't rev above 1500 or 2000 would that would be my guess as i donut have a rev counter. It's almost impossible to drive, no power and misfiring. When I try to rev it up it, the ECU gives off a click sound as if it keeps...

TD5 any day

Found this not too long ago.. How to work out what tyre pressures you need : 1. Find a Nice quiet straight road. 2. Park up 3. On the fronts 1st - 4. With some of the yellow Chalk from your friendly Tyre shop draw a straight line from inside to outside of the tread, right across...

Have the same issue, UJ's are only 6 quid, but how difficult is it to replace them myself? Seems like an easy job.

Get a 110 with a role cage and you have a tank. Couple of years ago a Defender on 38" tires rolled over 6 or 7 times after the driver lost control of it while driving around 70 mph up here. The driver unfortunately died, the others walked without a scratch because the remembered their seat...

Ok, that's was I was looking for. With the aluminium guard it should be no more than 20 kg Thanks for the help!

Yes, It's 10 quid to Denmark, but it's more so I know how much overweight I might expect on the plane home.

But does anyone know how much this approximately weigh in kilos?? Aluminium Steering Guard 6mm Diff Guard - Galvanised The reason is, I'm want to order it from Paddock and send it to Denmark, then pick it up when I go there for xmas, and take it back home to Iceland. If I send...

Winches are good and convenient to have but how often do you really need it? I use this setup. The Hi-lift winch system above have saved me the few times I really needed to pull myself out of a deep mud hole. Most of the time 2 waffle boards is enough to get out of trouble. It's more...

I have a set of 235 BFG A/T tires on my 110 and they perform really well off road. I have only been stuck a few times with them, but the mud was so deep it wouldn't have made the difference with a set of Mud tires.
