Guys and lady’s, I purchased a new 7pin trailer harness years ago as the original one on my 2005 defender was looking a bit worse for ware where you flip the flap to put the trailer socket in and the new one has been great but the old one had the purple wire which I could use as an extra...

Hi guys my trusty 110 td5 has been making an air in fuel system noise the moment you turn the key on morning starts for a week now, it sounds a bit like after changing the fuel filter noise, but goes away after 1 to 2 seconds so it’s hard to catch the noise it’s that quick, still starts and...

A question I had asked on here a few years ago, just curious to see if anyone else uses their defender td5 for work purposes still. Farming etc? I see a few old farmers still using there td5 defenders here in Devon, I’d guess the clock is ticking though as even the last td5 are quite old now, I...

Hi everyone the track rod arm on my defender has a split in the rubber bits each end, is it a big job to replace this arm which goes from one side to the other? I’m thinking I’ll just get my mechanic to do it as the mot is coming up in a couple of months what do you guys recon?

I’m about 6ft and find it difficult with leg room sometimes, granted I see a lot bigger guys driving them than me which must be uncomfortable at times

So far I’ve spent about 3 days cleaning the underside of my defender blowing out all the crevices etc with air line power washing, vacuuming chassis internally, lots more blowing takes a hell of a long time,just when you think you have got everywhere you find another hidden area, if someone...

Hi everyone, I was wondering what size jack id need to safely jack up my defender from each wheel, this weekend looks dry where I’m from, which means I can start rust proofing my defender after many many hours of preparation, however I’ll need to jack up each wheel so can remove it and get into...

As per title, is it illegal to fit this bull bar? Looks to be a factory fitted one and seen plenty where I live with them on

Hi everyone I purchased a bull bar, need work, sand blasting, a bit of filling etc but took me ages to find this style where there looks to be a hook which bolts on to the chassis.. Where I used to work when I was a kid there was a Farm defender td5 which came with one of these from new so it...

Hi guys, back again I just fitted optimil door hinges and on my passenger door there is a obvious lack of paint where the old hinges used to go, as the new spacer blocks are smaller than the old, what do I do fit the old spacers or touch in the paint?

Hi guys I’ve been on a bit of a mission with the landy lately, I don’t really have many hobbies these days and like to have a tinker, I’ve fitted new door check straps tonight, and new rubber bump stops inside the runners to stop the door opening too far however this still hasn’t cured the check...
