Hi mate Ive just rebuilt a 2000 TD5 Defender with my daughter. Most of the advisories are pretty simple to do. If I could offer some advice when you come to buy your Defender I would say that you will need to accept that you will need to get your hands dirty at some point! However they aren't...

I should have done that in the first place! There was some oil dripping from it when it was in place so I hope that if it has been replaced it was replaced with the correct one! I will order up a new tapered one anyway and keep an eye on it Thanks for all your help

Just checked with micrometer and there is a taper

oooooosh that was quick

Hi Everyone My oil pressure light has been flickering occasionally so Im going to change the oil pressure switch as its been in there since 1999 and dead easy to get out. Typically, the TD5 had two different type threads for their oil pressure switch and this was decided during fitting on the...

Put Landy in last week to the MOT garage and failed on headlight adjustment, wipers not covering the screen and engine management light. So I swapped out the to two wiper boxes and the cable, which wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be and took about an hour all together. Remember to...

Hi everyone First off apologies for all the posts recently but I'm so close to getting Landy back on the road. The OSF wing indicator isn't working on my 2000 TD5 defender. I don't know if it worked when I got her as I basically stripped her down straight away (first schoolboy error). I then...

Thanks for the reply. I think the light is a LED. Ive got a couple of minor things to sort and then I'll put her through the MOT. Cheers

Hi everyone, I have almost finished my renovation of my TD5 2000 defender which I started in July 2019. Ive got two things to sort before it goes for her MOT, OFS wing repeater is not working (I should have checked before I refitted the inner and out wing - ahhhhhhhhh) and the Immobiliser...

Hi everyone Ithought that I would update on the immobiliser problem incase anyone else had a similar problem. After many months of checking through things I have cured it (I hope). Basically I removed the dash and took out pin 5 of the 10AS unit. This has stopped the horn sounding twice and...

Update on the immobiliser problem, it starts first time now but probably 1 out of 5 turns of the key the horn stays on. I switch off and start again and its ok. When the horn is going off the engine still runs. Baffling me at the moment. The speedo has a red light that flashes when the engine is...

As I mentioned, the full story is on instagram @landierestoration. Me and my daughter have been going since August ladt year. Its definately a challenge! Immobiliser fault has got us stumoed (i posted a question in the 90/110/130 section) and little bits and bobs like OBD plug rewire and...

Hi everyone, ive finally managed to get hold of a 1999 td5 defender 90. Ive been restoring her with my daughter since august 2019. Ive no real mechanical experience and we have just used manuals and the internet. Weve documented the story on instagram landierestoration where theres loads of...

Hi everyone, im restoring a 1999 td5 and having some electrical issues (please see immobiliser post). I have replaced the main engine loom and also injector loom. Im going to replace the bulkhead wiring loom, however i have a 10p engine and im struggling to get one anywhere and have been offered...

I should have said that it is a 1999 TD5 Defender without Aircon or ABS. I think it has a 10p engine. Prior to yesterday, she pulled like a train, as I fitted a new turbo. So its a bit of a mystery, which seems normal for a Landy (metric and imperial bolts...ahhhhh)

Hi everyone I've lurked around this forum for years and read with great interest the different problems and challenges that Landy owners have. I had a Series 3 back in the day and after many years finally managed to buy a 20 year old Defender TD5 90 from a friend who has a local garage, I was...

Oh I see about the lack of posts etc. Ive been lurking in the background for years and never needed to actually post anything!! Regarding the spares, they do exactly the same thing. Cheers Stumpy
