    Defender garage / parts installer - Peak District

    DLS in Wirksworth have a workshop, not far from Matlock bath, or it may be worth speaking to someone at paddocks, i know they're a parts supplier, but they may offer up the details of some local landrover specialists. Good luck with the conversion too

    D2 G4 advice

    I have had one of these, it was on the v5 as a gs. It only has small g4 stickers on the front wing, not the large one on rear quarter. Inside has black vinyl seats (sure they are called modus design). Outside they have large roof rails, soft A bar and front & rear light guards.

    Another flashing M&S light issue - sorry

    I had this '"feature" on mine, it only occurred in or after driving in wet conditions. Removed the gearbox loom and it was rubbing on the sharp front corner of the T box, repaired the loom and has been fine since.

    ECU testing.

    I have got an icarsoft cr elite, it is a handy tool, I have used it to reset throttle bodies, pinpoint airbag and abs faults on various European and Japanese cars. Also correctly diagnose abs problems on a td5 discovery. But it would not communicate with the engine ecu, although my discovery...

    Side window demisting

    Somebody on here fitted one and did a sort of review on it. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/defendervent-2-0-review.340919/#post-4460827 I need to do it on mine, but it seems a bit expensive for what is a few bits of plastic. May try and do something similar homemade. As Jeremy...

    Can anyone identify this workmate type thing?

    It's a wickes brand work bench, I got one about 20 years ago, still using it now, but it's very tired and damaged.

    Disco 2 Checking wiring loom from XYZ switch

    I could not see this damage until the loom was removed. It had been rubbing on the sharp edge on the front of transfer box. I think sometimes people rely too much on diagnostics rather than old fashioned working out what makes it happen (in my case wet weather conditions) and taking something...

    Not so much a stolen Land Rover but a warning about having your money stolen

    I'm currently looking for a t5 transporter, eBay is littered with ads like this. Usually a really random, but cheap price. 1 photo of the vehicle and photo of the price and email address to get you to do the deal off eBay. Sadly it only takes one gullible person to make it worthwhile for these...

    Disco 2 M + S - Green Flashing Lights (But Disappeared Later)

    If I can remember correctly, it threw up implausible connection (or something like that) for xyz switch, but the fact it only happened during wet conditions led me to believe that it could be some kind of electrical connection being made when wet. This is what I found upon removing loom...

    Disco 2 M + S - Green Flashing Lights (But Disappeared Later)

    My disco used to do this in wet conditions, it turned out to be the auto box loom had chafed on the sharp corner on top of transfer box.
