    Defender economy?

    sorry, in the land of km per litre it's 11km/litre of diesel on my 02 td5. have to be gentle on the right foot though. usually crusing on the highway. anything above 110km/h does make it drink.

    Fitting Bigger Rubber

    hmm, i'm not sure, but recently when my team and i were modding 3 defender td5s for the rain forest challenge, we did 2 inch lifts using the scorpion racing kit and fitted in 35" goodyear mtr. all we had to do was to trim the wheel eyebrows.

    Diesel engine cutoff - weird operation

    not sure if this helps at all, but in my days of owning a series III, i had to pull a choke physically to kill the engine. removing the key, just shuts off the electric circuits. in a modern day td5, i guess when you switch the key to POS I it also chokes the engine by means of a electronic...

    where to put my steps?!

    depends on which yr was your landy. on Td5s all the holes you ever need to mount the folding steps are found on the chassis and body. now, if you look carefully under the landy, you'll see just behind the bottom about 30cm from the door post there's a mounting hole. it's abt 5cm from the edge...

    Choosing an AC unit to install on a Defender?

    i've a td5 with rear air con, actually 99% of all defenders in singapore have this 'singapore factory unit'. it's mounted up above the rear door so it doesn't take up any one's leg room. except you need to watch yr head when you jump in out the back door. it's not that bad as it's abt the height...

    Making a 1988 Defender 90 More Homely

    ok, let's see. on a 2002 landy, i've done leather seats in mine. it's a simple task of getting them "re uphosted" in leather if your cushions are doing fine. i've done a 3 piece carpet in the landy. one large piece for the load floor and one for each side of the wheel arches. all removable...

    Need a Few Ideas Please

    On a RHD vehicle you can mount it just left of the steering wheel and right of the gear stick, inline with the handbrake for the CB. it's outta everyone's way and doesn't interfear with your leg room. The ECU, wirings are as long as it need to get mounted on the bulkhead in the vehicle (not the...

    gears... 4th into 3rd...

    not sure abt what speed you're doing but sometimes when down shifting, blip the accelerator a lil just before you push into 3 will help if you are not really slowing down. this increases the engine speed to match the gear box rotations and hence allows the gear to be selected. works for me...

    Bonnet mounted spare??????

    had a SIII with the bonnet mounted spare initially. if you lift the hood, you'll see the iron frame (two rods from back to front in the middle with a iron patch in the middle when the mount goes, forming a H figure) below to give it the support it needs. on a modern day Td5, the standard bonnet...

    GKN is a electrionic engaged unit. there's only one defender in singapore which has it. the other is a rover drive unit, manually engaged via a lever, similar to that of the series landy over drive unit.

    Clutch master cylinder. every 30000km problem. fluid starts getting mysteriously lesser by the weeks. Assuming you check your clutch fluids weekly, rite? slowly you see a small patch of oil on your floor mat. and one fine day, when you hit the clutch, it goes all the way down. ok, assuming...
