Hi all, I've recently had to remove my fuel pump on my Defender TD5, for an issue unrelated to the pump. Since re-fitting the pump, the gauge reads lower than it used to, when I filled it up before, the gauge would show just over the full line, now it shows about 3/4 full. Other than the level...

Hi all, I've just started experiencing issues with my headlights on my 03 TD5. If you turn on the dip lights from the small stalk on the steering wheel column, the lights come on but with main beam on without me activating main beam. At this point the blue warning light on the dash is flickering...

Thanks chaps, really helpful......all working now

Hi, Trying to install a new Britpart alternator to a Trialer with a 3.5 V8 RR engine. I have only two cables to connect........main battery cable and exciter cable. However, I can only see 1 of the terminals marked on the new alternator.......this is marked 'D+'. I assume the exciter cable goes...

Hi, A friends 2006 TD5 has just had some kind of transmission failure whilst driving up hill on road, doing about 20mph. I've copied the text below he sent me, I appreciate it's hard to diagnose accurately over the net........but does anyone have any immediate thoughts ?? Complete loss of drive...

This is identical to the symptoms of an issue I have - did anyone ever find a solution ?? Thanks.

Further to my last post I'm experiencing issues with my new heated windscreen set up now. A Fuyao heated screen was fitted to my TD5 and I used a Britpart wiring loom, everything appeared to be ok however, I'm concerned as the fuse is getting really hot. I've since tested the current that the...

Thanks for the suggestions. On a separate note - the heat windscreen is now working well however, the instructions said to wire the relay direct to the battery with an in-line fuse which temporarily I've done. I would like eventually to wire it straight into the main fuse board, I've checked and...

Hi, I've just installed a heated windscreen on my TD5, on Sunday I intend to do the wiring side of things. The Britpart wiring loom has arrived today, the instructions suggest connecting the coil side of the relay to a switched live. Is it not best to connect it to an engine live to prevent...

Hi guys, To cut a very long story short I've just broken the metal bracket that holds the the Speedo transducer in place. As a result I can't replace the transducer today, is it safe to drive with it missing ? As it stands I can see the back end of the Speedo drive in the transfer box but I...

Hi raywin, I'm off work tomorrow so planning to give it a go...........will let you know. Thanks.

Hi, Yes, I had to adjust the stops when I went from the original tyres to the larger 235's as it was catching, there's about 15mm max either side now from the arm. The locks had to be opened up a good 2 turns which has reduced the turning circle more than I would have liked. Lol, can imagine...

Hi, Thinking of fitting 30mm spacers however, not sure what it will look like (main reason is to get better turning circle). Would be interested to get a few pictures of a TD5 90 running 235/85/16 tyres with 30mm spaces if anyone can help ? Thanks.

Hi, If they were open over the weeked then yes, unfortunatley they are not, if I don't get a reply over the weekend I will buzz them on Monday. Thanks.

Hi all, My Exmoor Trim slimline steering wheel boss adaptor has just arrived in the post.............with no fitting instructions. Appreciate it's a very easy job however, I do have a couple of questions which hopefully someone can help with ? The kit comes with 6 bolts and two pins, I assume...
