Thanks Adrian

Thanks for the advice - the existing one has seen better days so I can reuse it. I'll have a look at RS components. Thanks again.

Hi Everyone I've been having some intermittent starter issues and its down to the original female connector to the solenoid. I have replaced it with a universal spade connector but its not tight enough and so I'd like to put a proper connector on. I've checked LRworkshop.com and Ive attached a...

Another update!! I got some WD40 contact cleaner as Tottott suggested and thoroughly cleaned the wee pug to the solenoid. Since then its started every time. I checked it about 20 times and no issues. Prior to the clean it was clunking all the time. Fingers crossed its sorted. She passed her MOT...

Update from 10 minutes ago. Went out started first time on the button. Drove to the local shop. 5 minutes later, no joy, clunk, clunk, clunk. However this time the starter turned about twice and stopped. Like the electrical feed was being cut. Forgot to mention that the battery is 6 months old...

cheers Tottot - its a brand new starter. Im not sure how to clean the onside of the connector plug. Would I need to get some electrical contact cleaner?

Hi Everyone Occasionally I have been getting an issue with my starter motor. 95% of the time my 2000 TD5 90 fires up immediately. However occasionally I turn the key and nothing. No clicks. And then it after about 4 turns the starter motor sort of thumps, a short noise and nothing. As part of...

Since replacing the slave cylinder after the very small drop in fluid, its not dropped anymore and the pedal is still firm. Hopefully all sorted.

Hi everyone I recently noticed that it was getting slightly difficult to get into gear and the pedal was biting at a ver low level, so I checked the clutch fluid and saw that the reservoir was empty. I put some fluid in and after a day or so the level dropped. I changed the slave cylinder on...

Hi everyone I've been putting this job off but I'm going to repair the bulkhead corner of the drivers side on my Landy. Its not too bad but the bit next to the vent hinge is definitely rotten. Someone did a half arse repair on the passengers side and just welded a repair section over the...

After much deliberation, I decided to buy and fit a Britpart Swingaway Wheel Carrier to my Landy. After reading some of the reviews on this site about the instructions that come with the carrier I downloaded a full set, and this helped loads. The carrier itself is really well made and pretty...

Hi mate, I replaced my one last week with a Bearmach one. I posted how I did it in the "what have you done to your Land Rover today" https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/what-have-you-done-on-your-90-110-130-today.342736/page-44#post-4896055 I just couldn't justify the price of the VDO one, as...

i replaced the fuel pump on my Landy. This is how I did it. I measured 40.5cm from the nearside and 31.5cm from the rear of the tub. Marked this centre. Then masked off a square 22cm wide. I used a 1mm cutting disc and carefully cut out the square. I removed the plug. I used the fuel cap removal...

Hi Everyone Even though I have already replaced the fuel pump once, I need to do it again. To be honest I made an arse of it the first time when I allowed the whole pump to move when I tightened the locking ring. I broke off the float and and tried to weld it with a soldering iron. Anyway...

Hi Mate Sounds like you are starting the journey that I made last year. Good luck with sorting it out. Have a look at the diagram attached, it should help you resolve your problem. After all my diagnostic work, it turned out that the 10AS was faulty. I just left mine in place and snipped a wire...

Hi Mystery I totally agree with you regarding sorting this out and not leaving it for the next owner (if I ever sell it!). I've pretty much done a full restoration on her but the wiring has been a struggle to be honest, I replaced the engine loom and the injector wiring but they were just...

That sounds like a good idea. I's like to get to the bottom of it tho.

Absolutely!

Hi Everyone I'm trying to sort my engine warning light. Normally they are a pain in the backside when they come on an they wont go out! In my case the warning light is not coming on. Before I bought the TD5 I know that there were some issues with the immobiliser, which I finally sorted and...

Looks genuine advert but the prices have gone mad. Imagine if someone had said a few years ago that a 1986 90 would be selling for over £6k!! Better to buy a ropey one and do it up yourself. At least that way you know the issues, even if you pay a local garage to do it for you. We all know the...
