So surprisingly after a very quick diagnosis from my local mechanic and £30 quid later, it was the light bar on the roof, so they removed it. Bit peeved that I just spent £30 for them to do something I can do. Anyway, googled it and it appears to be somewhat common issue with large light bars...

it happens when in neutral, coasting. Whatever just above 30. Nothing is affecting it just speed

Sorry yes forgot to mention, Defender 90 2002, Td5, r380

Hi guys, so the other day my defender developed a problem where it makes this awfully loud whine that starts being audible from 25. It has a somewhat irregular pattern between 25-50mph Happens in all gears, i checked for stones somewhere. Nothing Checked the driveshafts but they feel fine, im...

I had a look but I don't think I will be able to access the pump to test it, its quite hidden away on the td5. I tested the plug by using my multimeter over the the two pins on the pump's plug, I then switched the washer on from switch and got my dad to read the voltage. That's where we found...

I pulled out the plug and used my multimeter on it, not sure how to check the earth. Followed all the cables in the engine bay and they appear intact. Its the same fuse that is used for the wiper circuit and they work fine. Followed a wiring diagram online and the only thing really that can fail...

Hi everyone, Hope someone can help as my washer jets on my 02 Td5 90 do not work. The pump makes no noise, the pump's connector is only receiving about 1v when switched on. I figured this means there's an electrical issue, recently changed all wipers fuses as they packed up a month ago and...

Hi all, looking to buy an early l322. BMW td6 era so 2002-2006? and wanting to update the entertainment system to be more modern, nothing online is that useful either chinese head units that are stupid expensive and a bit **** or people just saying its not possible. Saw some double din kits on...

Hi guys, what the physical length of a rover v8 (doesn't matter which just a rough figure) coupled with any gearbox that fits? They really dont need to be perfect figures just currently doing some cad drawing and need to allocate x amount of space for an engine and gearbox arrangement. cheers

I am no use to this conversion but I am interested in what you find out since I am in the same position as you are except the other way round, i.e I need insurance my dads 90. Please let me know if you found any thing resonable?

Thanks for the help, do you have pictures or a thread of you building it?

I spotted this 110 whislt on a trip to st David's in Wales, is anybody able to identify this 110's tonneau cover? Seems like a perfect solution but never seen these made for defender tubs never understood why. Anyone made one or know where they can be bought from?

Ahh cheers that would explain it, it doesn't have Aircon and we arnt adding it so that's another job to do.

Cheers for the replies, I think we will just cover it and sound proof over it then.

Me and my dad have been striping the inside of our td5 90 for a interior rebuild and found this hole. We can't figure out what it's for, there was just a floor mat covering it Any help would be appreciated!

Im beginning to save for my first 4x4 and I cant decide what would be better a old series or newer Japanese double cab pickup. Id love to afford a defender but with only a few grand budget its not really that viable. Possible vehicles would be: 109 Series 2/2a/3 not sure which yet l200 up to...

Definitely some useful information on here, can't really ever find anything when just on Google normally, if I did ever end up being able to do the conversion probably ls3 I'd only be looking to tune it a bit so being releiable at 500 hp ish and not losing offroading ability would be spot on, so...

How do they get the axels to handle the torque, I thought rover axels with hd shafts etc were good for maybe up to 300 ish hp?

Blimey that's alot more!

So just curious as to how much everyone is paying, especially keen on how much stock and some heavily ish modified landrovers cost? Edit: An update 4 years later, I got my license and a defender. Currently quote to insure it at 18 with a years experience was £1.2k, first year £2k. Sadly...
