Yeah the disklok and full lock is also my idea of security. If you want to make it even securer you can weld a brace of steel across the rear of the disklok to prevent it from being peeled away from the steering wheel with a pry bar. Does anyone know about td5 immobiliser? does it have one and...

Hi all, I'm posting another question about security. As I have mentioned previously I am looking at buying a disklok and potentially welding extra steel onto the rear of it to cause even more grief for a potential thief! However I am also trying to understand the mind of the land rover...

Okay so it sounds like buying the bulk pack of 4mm is a good start and 100% covering he areas I'm going to do. How far do you think the bulk pack of 4mm matting would go on a 90 station wagon. Would you suggest using the MLV matting everywhere that you apply the 4mm matting?

Also a tracker would be good but so far I have only seen them for like £300 and then you pay annually for monitoring etc... To me it seems a bit expensive to pay for something that you may never use only if your vehicle was stolen. Are there any more affordable ones? Does the td5 have an...

I think I will invest in a disklok to start with then. I was also thinking are you best leaving your defender with full steering lock on so that your defender will only drive in a circle or pointed to an obstruction. Atleast that makes it difficult to roll it towards a truck or tow vehicle...

thanks for your reply jackson im getting a little bit confused now, i have read through that many different products and websites i dont know what day of the week it is. All i want is something that definitwly works without paying an arm and a leg. you mention about isolating the MLV but what...

Thats a very interesting website, looking at that then i would say some of this in the rear boot area of my defender Silent Coat Extra 4mm Mat Bulk Pack – Sound Deadening Shop followed by a few of these Dodo Sound Stopper MLV – Sound Deadening Shop That would be a good covering...

Hi all just wanted to see what peoples opinnions were on td5 defenders or the new tdci models. If you were going to buy a defender would you go and buy a spanking shiny new one or get yourself a well looked after td5 county? I know the main differences are the new dashboard and gauges and...

Hi all, Lately for some reason ive got a terrible thought in my head that one day my defender might get pinched. I think it started when someone told me that the thefts of landys seems to be slowly increasing. So since as i have no extra security on my defender i was thinking of getting...

Hi all, i am looking to add some more soundproofing to my defender 90 just to reduce cab noise when im on the motorway. So far i have seen that paddocks offer a kit which they say will fit my defender td5 county for around £80 they say its all pre cut pieces of like hessian material that does...

Thanks for the suggestions, im going to have a look this saturday as i am planning on renewing my front diff pinion seal also. Ill let you know if i manage to find anything. As for the shock absorbers and suspension springs one day in the near future i plan on replacing them all with turret...

Hi all, I have a defender 90 td5 2004 that has done 60,000 miles. I have a very strange and hard to figure out noise coming somewhere from the back end. The noise happens very rarely and randomly and isn't always frequent. Some times you don't hear it for days. Then other days you can...

My defender is ten years old done 60,000 miles and i just get the feeling that my shocks and springs are getting a little bit tired. quite a bit of body roll and i think it could do with being renewed some time soon. My question is replace my shocks and springs with genuine landrover...

Would you go for the brush on rustoleum or a spray can? How does it compare to black hammerite

Hi Aaron I'm wanting to paint my rear cross member on my 90. It's in very good condition so I just want to paint in while it's still on my landy with all the tow ball on etc. I simply just want it to look new and smart. What's the best paint to use bear in mind ill be doing it at home on the...

Have you got a picture of yours? Does it give a nice smooth finish

Yeah rear cross member and yeah is like a nice shiny finish. Any suggestions on paint? Want the colour to be the same just look new

Hi, Ive got a 2004 defender 90 td5 county. Ive just removed some old rear bumperettes and ive got patches where the paint colour has faded where they were installed. I want to respray my whole rear bumper to tart it up and make it last longer than the normal rusting ones. Not going...

I have just redone the seal and sealed it up even more with sealant if it doesn't work this time should I be looking at the depression control valve? Don't know whether it will of ever been replAced and now done 65,000 miles.

Does anyone know of a very very very good sealant that i can apply on my rocker cover to stop it from weaping. I have fitted brand new allmakes4x4 seal to the rocker and it is still weeping just the tiniest bit. I even applied some loctite copper engine sealant to the gasket. Im considering...
