Yeah rear cross member seems solid. It is XS spec :)

Not sure on the Xs bit actually, where would i find that? Would the logbook say? Rust wise, it has been waxoyled most recently this spring/summer. The only corrosion beyond surface rust was the driver side rear seat belt mount which i replaced in April, and the passenger side front wheel arch...

Hi All, We recieved some news recently which means we are going to likely need to replace my Defender... But i have no idea where to even start valuing it. Its a 2006 TD5 with approx 115k on the clock. If i compare on Autotrader there are a couple with lower milage, possibly slightly...

Apologies for the probably dumb question... What is the part in the picture with the holes in called? I tried looking for it on lrworkshop but couldnt find it? Easy enough to replace i assume? Looks like 2 bolts...

Its what the pumas have... Part number LR053804. On lr workshop it says this part replaced AWJ710460 which superceded AWJ710390 which i think is one of the galvanised ones. Either way Lrworkshop says the new one would fit my 2006 TD5... I spoke to landrover and they said it wouldnt fit, but at...

Thanks :) in the end i found it using the above diagram, ordered one and then found the original under the truck this morning... Typical. Then went to fit it to discover that the plastic wheel arch is identical to the galvanised in every way except for the hole for that fir tree fitting... Lol...

So today i finally got round to replacing the inner front wing. Thought i would do a post for 3 reasons... 1) it was easily the most complex procedure i have done to date on the defender and i am quite proud. 2) when i was searching i couldnt find anything definitive asnto whether the new...

Looking at getting a replacement inner wing, can anyone confirm whether a 200tdi wing will fit a TD5? Passenger side if that makes a difference... Pete

To give an update... New part arrived today, still waiting for the fitting kit, old part has been removed. Safe to say the corrosion was worse than first thkught, there isnt much holding the old one together.

Also keen to here the answer on this.

Part EIO1000000 :) just need to find somewhere who stocks it now! Cheers

2006, its the bar that connects to the seat belts... Very hard to get hold of it seems.

Better picture attached of the part in question...

Hi all, I am preparing for a waxoyl treatment and have foind a bit of a problem... I wasnt really sure what to call this thread as basically i am not sure what the part is called. I have added a picture but it is the part that goes from the rear cross member, back corner of a 90 and connects...

Thanks for the help :) will take a look this weekend. Is the starter solenoid easily accessible?
