Thanks both, I'll look a bit deeper!

Hello all, On my 2005 110 I have a strange problem. The high level break light does not work when I press the break pedal. However, if I turn on the rear window heater or the rear wiper, it comes on and will go off when I brake. I've checked all visible contacts and tinkered with most cables...

I'll check this tonight. If there is, what's it's significance?

Hello all, I've come to change a tyre on my 110 (1998) and I can't find the locking wheel nut key. Plus, it seems to be a non-standard design. I've attached a pic, does anyone recognise the make or know where I could get the key from? Thanks, Jon

Magic, I'll have a look tonight! Thank a lot for the help. Jon

Hi Boydy. Engine didn't feel hotter than usual I could get near the pipes yes. Anti freeze was in yeah and the water in the water resivour although hot, didn't burn me when I tested it (by dipping my finger in). Where is the sender? Cheers pal. Jon

Hello all. Need some expertise help! The car in questions is a 1995 110, 117K TDI. As we were driving up the road from London to Manchester yesterday the car began to overheat, right up in the red. I stopped, checked the water and all was fine, checked the oil and all was OK, checked that the...

Mad, thanks very much - I owe you a pint! I was quite worried as we're quite far from home. There is some oil in the surrounding area, but not much to cause a drip. Is that OK or a sign it's on the way out? Jon

Hi Mad Hat, I'm away in a hotel at the moment, I can take a photo on my phone and text you?

Hello all. I need some urgent advice - I'm no mechanic so am slightly worried. I've just come to drive my Defender (110 Tdi 1995) and out of interest was looking under the chassis. I spotted the gearbox and noticed that there is a hole where what looks to be a bolt should go, with some oil...

Hello, Anyone in the Lakes this weekend - myself and my girlfriend are heading over to do some green laning and any company would be welcomed. We're more than likely going to be in the North Lakes. If you're about, and would like to meet up, let me know and I could mail you my contact...

Hello all, Got it sorted, was a fecked stalk. Bought a new one (from Land Rover parts, spares, Land Rover accessories, all models) for £30 delivered and replaced it last night. Cheers for all the suggestions. Jon

Sirus, can you clarify the above? I#m pretty new to all these terms! Jon

Hello all, I've just been out in my defender 110 (1995) and my dash lights, side lights and head lights have failed - thankfully main beam still works. This was while doing a timid green lane - they flickered, then went out. Does anyone know what have may caused this or has experienced the...

Well spotted, 94 TDI :)
