I have inspected/cleaned as many abs sensor joints as I can find but won't know if it has done any good until I reset the faults- or will it reset itself?. love to be able to afford a decent reader but will be selling defender as soon as I have got it all together. just done all four springs and...

hi, anyone know any of those 30 quid-ish fault code readers on ebay will actualy work on my 04 td5 defender- all I want to do is try and reset the three amigos (well, only 2 of them now- ones disappeared now!). they seem to come up in wet weather.I've read some threads about the subject and it...

gave that one a miss but a range rover caught my eye- 05 reg,seems a lot of car for money -any thoughts?

thanks for that. looked at the discovery, looked good inside and bodywork good but chassis like swiss cheese!

hi, looking at a td5 discovery tomorrow, anyone got any advise on what to watch out for, areas prone to corrosion etc. got a 110 td5 csw xs at present so know the engines are good- will be selling this soon once ive sorted all the advisorys etc. any information on the discovery though will be...

looks like option b then. I've seen a complete repair kit for this on ebay for 80 pounds ish- looks like proper plugs etc- anyone tried one of these?. still not sure if it can be done with whole unit in place- looks rather awkward- any definitive answers on this one?

thanks for reply. I did get the local 4x4 garage to check it out with their electric gizmo and they said I needed the whole abs unit. they reset the fault and the lights went out until winter came.they seem to come up when I go through puddles. it passed the mot after the lights were reset so it...

hi, can anyone tell me if I can remove/ fit abs shuttle valve on td5 110 defender without removing whole abs unit, and if the modification I have read about will get rid of the three amigos?

thought it might be but wasn't sure if this would cause them to stop briefly, is it an easy job to change?

hi, got a problem with windscreen wipers on my 2004 td5 110 defender- wpers don't park where they should anymore and sometimes briefly stop, could this be just the park switch or something more expensive?. anyone know where thres a pictorial guide to sort this, as I've looked in the Haynes...

thanks for your help, but I'm still confused- will a dirty/ defective cps stop the ecu from allowing the starter to engage?. I did consider the starter motor playing up, but it is quite new, then again I did have a slave cylinder failure a little while back- is it possible fluid from that has...

hi, been searching threads for ages but cant find an answer to problem I ha d today with my 2004 defender 110 td5- tried to start it and nothing, normal lights came up on dash but nothing else,not even click from solenoid.tried wiggling wires to crankshaft position sensor, but again nothing...

hi, can anyone help, the gears on my 04 110 td5 are almost impossible to engage. wife had the rac man out the other day whilst i was at work and he found no clutch fluid, he topped it up and bled system and it was marginaly better but now back to near impossible again. fluid is quite dark and i...

many thanks, theres my weekend sorted, unless the wife has any plans for me!!

now i'm confused!, so can i do it all from outside without removing door cards assuming no siezed bolts. if i do them one by one i'm hoping door alignment won't be a problem?
