For rubber mats and a boot liner, WeatherTech and 3D Mats are both great options with excellent fit and durability. Britpart also makes good Land Rover specific accessories. The OEM Land Rover ones are nice but often overpriced unless you really...

A concealed GPS tracker with its battery, a loud alarm with shock and tilt sensors, and a hidden kill switch or fuel cut-off is your best bet. Add a steering wheel lock like a Disklok for visible deterrence. Layered protection is key on a simple...

You’ll need to contact the DVLA (or your local vehicle authority) directly. They may be able to help you register it using the chassis number or the vehicle’s registration number. Since the VIN plate is missing, they might offer an inspection or...

Yes, you can run a log splitter off the hydraulic system of your 110 TD5. Just make sure the splitter’s hydraulic flow and pressure match what your system provides. Many have done this by tapping into the existing hydraulic lines or adding a...

At £5, a fully indexed and searchable PDF manual is worth it, especially if it's easier to navigate than TOPIx. Having both options gives you the best of both worlds. A good tip for anyone working on JLR vehicles.

Yes, most have cleanable magnets inside and some have reusable strainers. No filters to replace as a rule. A used one is fine as long as it is intact and you replace the O rings if needed. Just check for cracks or damage and you should be good.

You're correct on the incompatibility. The older conical fittings (NTC2927/NTC2928) are imperial, while the newer o-ring type fittings are metric, so they won’t interchange. Swapping the old oil filter housing won’t work due to the different...

The vehicle is a 2006 model year as confirmed by both the VIN and DVLA. The "LY55ZKS" plate is an age related registration issued when the car was imported to the UK in 2018, reflecting its original build year (late 2005 or early 2006). The...

For the noise, it could be related to either the turbo or the prop shaft, as you mentioned. I'd recommend checking the turbo hoses and pipework for any leaks or damage, as well as inspecting the prop shaft, especially the bearings and U-joints...

The 18" steel wheels from the new Defender do fit directly onto Discovery 2 axles, making them a great value option. With take-off sets going for £500–600 including tyres, it's a solid deal considering the tyres alone cost around £180 each and...

I’m not far from Langley and might be able to help. I’ve got a set of TD4 injectors that were working fine when pulled; you’re welcome to borrow them for testing. No need for a deposit, just look after them and let me know how it goes

Loosely start all screws first to allow adjustment, then align the shroud so it doesn’t rub, and gradually tighten screws evenly. Loosen screws if needed to fit the instrument panel, then retighten once aligned.

That part is called the front bumper with fog light bezel or front bumper assembly with fog lights. It was a factory option on some ’99 Freelander models. You should be able to find it through Land Rover parts dealers, specialty Rover forums, or...

If there's no voltage at the front pump, check the washer switch and wiring—it's likely an electrical issue, not the pump itself.

You likely got the correct EGR delete, but it's a version meant for TD5s with an EGR cooler. The mushroom blank is for the exhaust side. The solid lower appendage and the upper one with a hole are likely unused coolant ports. Since your 2000 TD5...

Your gearbox slipping when towing is likely due to heat or stress under load. Check the transmission fluid level and condition first. If it’s low or burnt, replace it. If the issue continues, internal wear may be the cause. A transmission cooler...

Try Adrian Flux, Lancashire Insurance, Classic Line, or NFU Mutual. They’re often competitive for Defenders and might offer better rates for modified or classic vehicles.

Transition glasses are indeed a great choice for those who want convenience and versatility. They adapt to different lighting conditions, offering both clear vision indoors and the protection of sunglasses outdoors. Chashmay’s collection seems...

Anyone had a roof tent on their v90, and if so any recommendations and what roof bars did you use. Seen these a few times and looks good for the odd nite away, thanks

Check out the Kampa Tailgater or Tailgater Air—both are drive-away awnings that fit well on the rear of a Defender and can be left standing when you head out. They’re quick to set up and generally fall within your £200 budget. Also worth...
