    Defenders ..... Worth the hassle (Theft)

    Might be worth making sure that your doors and bonnet don't get nicked as well...

    "should I sell the land love...."

    A good point - I do still look at 90 hard tops with a little envy...

    "should I sell the land love...."

    We used the very recent arrival of our son to move from a 90 hard top to a 110 double cab - needed the extra seating space for the child seat etc.

    parking hight defender 90 td5

    My TD5 90 (no lift, 265/75/16 tyres) has fitted into the short stay multistory at Manchester Airport - it was a close run thing but it didn't hit anything, unlike the barrier at a viewpoint near Ullapool 2 weeks ago...

    TD5 electric window not working

    May be a broken connection in the wiring between the door and the body - it's apparently common in td5 defenders (happened to mine). Cheers Mike

    Defender owners - What's your other car(s)/vehicle?

    Td5 Defender 90 for me (general day to day driving and for getting out and about a farm) and Freelander 2 for the wife (doors still on and not had to put a match to it yet).

    Electric Window Problem

    Have you checked the loom that goes from the body to the door? I've got an 05 td5 and my drivers window stopped working a few weeks ago - turned out that the wiring for the electric window had snapped. Replaced the loom and all fine again. Mike

    Wolf wheels for 90?

    I'm thinking of switching from my current 16x5.5 alloys to some Wolf wheels for my td5 90 - are they okay on a 90, what with the extra weight and all?

    Defender 90 windscreen wipers stopped

    My wipers did the same thing (slowly ground to a halt) - ended up having to put new wheelboxes in.

    Attempted theft near Buxton

    Just in case anyone is around the Buxton areas, I thought I'd mention that we had a break in at home early this morning by a pair after the keys for my defender. The defender has a disklock on, the keys are kept hidden overnight, and they made a very halfhearted attempt at forcing the...

    Defender Security

    I'd go for a disklok as well (very visible, easy to use and store behind the front seat) - I've got a medium on my td5 90. Mike

    Defender 90 windscreen wipers stopped

    Hi all The windscreen wipers on my Td5 90 have decided to slowly grind to a halt - the fuse is okay and so I guess it must be the motor or linkages. Is it easy to access the motor behind the dash to check? Any tips gratefully received! Cheers Mike
