Time to sell my much loved Land Rover Defender 90. As the 3rd owner, I've had this for a couple of years and serviced every 10k miles. It has MOT until April 2019 and drives smooth with little of the usual rattles or noise. Since I've had it, I've done the wheel bearings, callipers, breaks...

Hey all, Looking for a little help. Finally, after months of worrying about it - it finally happened. The door key broke off in the lock. I wasn't worried - I was one step ahead! I had already bought a barrel set and keys for my 2000 TD5. So today I started pulling it apart thinking it was...

Okay - so after what seemed like a successful weekend I replaced the discs, callipers and break pads on my TD5 90. All came off and went on back okay - strangely enough for me as usually something goes wrong :) (well it started to the weekend before then but I caught it before I broke the...

I'm needing some quick advice before I have to start sending parts back. I've had to replace my rear calipers and discs for a while now. Weather was good so I quickly ordered some parts only to then realise that I wasn't paying attention or they were mis-labelled. So today - weather perfect -...

I'm thinking it's the turbo but looking for a second opinion. When I shut off the engine even after a shortish run I hear a slowly spinning down noise. It's like a fan slowly loosing momentum. The only thing I can think of is its the turbo spinning down and the bearings are starting to go. Any...

Okay - so its been a few weeks since I last asked about this but I've just this weekend been able to have a look at it. I have a TD5 that has a bit of a cluck when taking up or off drive train tension. After some helpful suggestions I think its a worn spline on the transmission. So I pulled...

So after a trip up to the north coast and back I found the rumble under load getting a bit louder so thought it was time to finally investigate. From what I have been reading lately this is normally due to engine mounts (fine from what I can see), UJ (front's recently replaced - back ones look...

Hoping someone can help me. The other day I ordered from paddocks a rocker gasket for my TD5. Part number was LVP 000020 - which from all my research should have fit. Unfortunately it doesn't :( The rocker cover since I had it off and I could quickly check has a part number of ERR6860. From...

So I was just down at a Timpsons to get keys cut for my TD5 and was just told that the blanks are discontinued :( Anyone know where I can get a blank from?

I'm just about to pull out the side slider windows, clean them up, replace the channel and add some tinting to them for privacy. In re-fitting them I'm wondering if I should put some foam tape or sealer between the window frame and the body to prevent water dripping through. I've got a...

I'm near Hexham for a few days - kids are enjoying the landy so wanted to see if there were any tracks , lanes., etc that I could take them too for a light bounce - any ideas?

hey all, On a rare night with a bit of time on my hands I drove up to the lammermuir's with a buddy. The road was nice and muddy so I thought I would try the diff lock on the landy I've had for a few months now. I've had 4x4's before but this is my first Landy and a TD5 90 at that...

okay - so after a weekend (and some good, some not so good welding practice) I've got my rear cross member installed (Thanks Clive!). everything turned out pretty good. The chassis wasn't as rotten as I thought it might have been and tail ends that I had cut off weren't too bad. That said the...

okay - so after hearing some clunking going over bumps this week I finally had a chance to look. After realising that the bracket on the rear cross member for the exhaust had snapped I thought I would quickly wrap some wire and have a look at it in more detail. Now remembering that I've only had...

I've noticed a almost whistling noise coming from my TD5 especially when its cold or sat for a few days. Seems to go away after a bit but just curious if this is normal or anyone knows / heard of this before?

I'm in the process of cleaning out my ex strawberry 90 (a bit of muck in places) and next job is replacing the back carpets/etc. I pulled up one side today to see what it was like. Most of it seems in pretty good nick but there is some spot oxidation on a few areas - one kinda worries me. On...

I'm replacing bolts for the back seats just now on my 90. I remember a comment a little while ago that even Stainless would cause oxidation on aluminum. I thought SS was inert and wouldn't cause an issue but wanted to make sure before I ordered them. My gut would be to replace everything...

Anyone know if a inter cooler from a disco TD5 will for a defender td5?

Having just finished a new dashboard console (not wanting to buy one) I thought I would share. Please let me know what you think though as I'm not 100% happy with it. I think I'll re-do the front panel at some point but I have lots of other things I want to do first. EDIT: Until I can figure...

okay - after only a couple months with my dream machine (a 2000 TD5) I've hit a frustrating problem and not sure what it is. I'm looking for a bit of help and insight here in case I'm not seeing it. So...what happens is. When I go to start the truck I turn on the ignition. Position 2 is...
