Thanks I'll check the starter as suggested.

Battery was my first thought. But it's fairly new and I charged it for a couple of hours just in case.

Not really. Both key fobs are working well and were working yesterday. I'm beginning to suspect starter motor. Most times when I turn the key I get absolutely nothing. But every now and then, when I try the same thing, the starter does a fraction of a turn. Cheers Rich

Thanks I read that already.

Hi All Went out to my 2007 110 this morning and it wouldn't start. Battery fine. All dashboard lights OK. But when I turn the key absolutely nothing. Any ideas? Immobilizer? By the way the Landy is fitted with an auto box. Cheers Rich

Thanks all. I thought that's what it looked like too. The Defender is black BTW.

...of my 110 when I hit a pot-hole. I heard something clanking as it bounced down the road. The only thing I could find was this red bracket. It was quite warm when I picked it up. Any ideas? BTW the vehicles had an auto conversion.

Did 45 miles it today and it ran fine. Fingers crossed for the rest of the week. Will get it checked when I get home.

Hi All Our '07 Defender suddenly lost power today and the temp gauge rocketed up into the red. Once it had cooled a bit I poured 1.5 litres of water into the cooling system and it ran fine for the rest of the journey (5 miles). It first lost power going up hill behind a lorry. It had been fine...

Thanks for the link Chris. No I hadn't considered it simply because I saw how much people are charging to do it. I don't know one end of a spanner from the other so couldn't do the work myself. Also this one on ebay has exactly the right seating for us. Apart from the price it ticks all the...

Thanks gents. Trouble is we need an auto and they seem a rare as rocking horse.... Offered the guy £6.5k but he wants to let the ad run. If anyone else hears of a 110 300tdi with 11 (or 12) seats and an auto box I'm your man.

Hi All I'd value your opinions on this; Land Rover Defender 110 300 Tdi Automatic CSW | eBay Is the screen surround a difficult fix? How about that leaky fuel tank? Auto OK? My wife really needs an auto 'cos she has a dodgy arm. And what about the price? Looking forward to hearing what you...

Hi All I'm new to the forum and to Land Rovers. My wife has her heart set on a Landy. She does not want a Disco. She wants something with 5 forward facing seats. Other side facing seats would be a bonus. She's been looking at one on the John Brown website Landrover Series 3 109 6 cyl 12 seater |...

Hi All I'm a newbie and I know very little about Land Rovers but my Mrs has set her heart on one. She wants a Series 2 or 3. It needs 5 forward facing seats. Extra side facing seats would be a bonus. She's been eye-ing up a Series 3 109 6 cyl 12 seater on John Browns website Landrover Series 3...
