I've just fitted a split charge system using a Durite voltage sensing relay (a kit from 'Simply Split Charge') to my TD5 110. The relay is calibrated to connect the batteries at 13.3V and disconnect at 12.65V and works both ways so a charge on either battery activates the relay and connects the...

On my 1999 110 TD5 Defender, my right-hand right hand tail light has stopped working. The bulb was blown but replacing it has not fixed the problem. All other lights work, including the right-hand brake light and right-hand side light so that rules out a fuse or earth problem. I measured the...

Hi all, Yesterday I drove my Defender TD5 non-stop for 300 miles, 5 hours. Amazingly, we hit no traffic problems so I did not come out of 4th/5th gear for the entire trip. As usual the Defender performed faultlessly, cruising at 65-75mph. However, coming off the motorway near home, the engine...

Hi, yesterday the heater matrix on my TD5 sprung a leak. I bypassed it by connecting the input hose to the output hose with a small piece of copper pipe.

Hi, my Defender TD5 blower has not worked for a while. Very occasionally, it will start blowing for anything from a few seconds to a few minutes but then will be totally dead for months at a time. I'm suspecting a short somewhere. I've tested the switch and it is earthing correctly. When I take...

Hi all, Gordon here from Stoke-on-Trent. I'm new to Land Rovers, only having owned my 1999 Defender 110 TD5 for 2 weeks but loving it already. I decided to buy something that would make me smile after being made redundant and losing my company car. I'm also a Triumph enthusiast - I've owned a...

Hi - I've had my first Land Rover (110 TD5 1999) for 2 weeks now and love it. Unfortunately the neighbours dont as the alarm has started going off at random, usually in the early hours of the morning. I've read posts on here and elsewhere that lead me to believe that a door or bonnet switch is...
