Hi, I was wondering if anyone could share a list of their mods, and the resultant 0-60 times?

Hi All, just a quick one, looking for reccomendations for a good choice of fabric with which to redo the headlining on my D2 TD5? I'm looking for something that is easy to work with yet available in a colour as close to original as possible.

Just a quick one to say Merry Christmas before we all get too merry to find the keyboard and read the forum... Or if you're feeling as scrooge-like as I am, Bah Humbug to one and all...

I'm looking at refreshing my speakers, and I've got some really nice sounding 4" speakers that I would like to use in the upper door position, but AFIK the standard speaker size is 3". I don't want to butcher the door cards, so if I am going to install them, it'd have to be inside the door card...

Hi, I've recently acquired a 2004 TD5 Landmark with the Hi-Line system, and the cassette head unit needed a code, so I yoinked it out, and put in an aftermarket noisemaker. I've got two problems with that unit, one is that it's only making noise out the front left door, the other is the utterly...

I was going to put yellow bulbs in the foglights of my Facelift TD5, but the left front fog light bulb seems boxed in by the screenwash tank, how the hell do you get that bulb out? The right hand one is a piece of cake, but the left one? Any tips?

Hi, Has anyone actually done the MT82 conversion on a Discovery TD5? What were the Gotchas and what went easier than expected? The reason I ask is that my recently acquired TD5 has a rather crunchy gearbox, so I'm toying with two options, one is a nice R380, the other, baring in mind I plan on...

Yo!!! I've recently acquired a 2004 TD5 landmark, and love the headlights, great pattern, but I don't like the halogen yellow, so I was wondering about treating it to a set of LEDs instead blue-coated halogens to give it a whiter appearance. So I was wondering if anyone had tried this and found...

Yada yada, cannot be fooked with it any more, bye now, here's a cool goodbye song.

[Cross-posting this from a similar thread on the Freelander Sub-forum where it could apply to their "TD4" M47 engine] Not one for the Thrift brigade, please don't post by saying you can get a plastic one off eBay for a tenth of the price of this part. This is a piece of exquisite engineering...

Not one for the Thrift brigade, please don't post by saying you can get a plastic one off eBay for a tenth of the price of this part. This is a piece of exquisite engineering, CNC machined in Yorkshire, from an aluminium billet with ferrules welded on for sensors etc. It's beautifully made, and...

Daft question, but just how interchangeable are classic / p38 bellhousings & Torque Convertors? if I had for talking sakes acquired a 4.6 gearbox bellhousing & torque convertor, ignoring the electronic controls for this conversation, would the gearbox bolt up to a 3.5 / 3.9 v8? Or does the...

HI, I'm looking for axle weights for an unladen 3 door hippo? I've found this in the manual: Our one is a Diesel Auto, so that will put it at the heavier end of the scale, call it 1525kg tare, and it's got a MAM / MGVW of 2050kg, but then the axle weights add up to 2170kg? What I'm really...

Just a quick one: I've got a D1, 200 series V8, been lifted for years, done properly with cranked rear arms, castor correction front arms, etc. However, it's now needing springs, as one spring has broken and looking at the others don't look like they are going to be far behind. I'm wary of...

TLDR - if your TD4 engine sounds tappety, park it up, vehicle in neutral and rev it to 3000rpm holding that engine speed for one minute or more, and the tick will be gone for a little while. The tick will likely reemerge, so do the 3000rpm / 1min again and immediately before draining the oil and...

Just wondering what would be involved in retrofitting the older side facing bench seats to a newer defender, say TD5 or Puma?

Daft question I know, but are all of a hippo's ABS / Traction Control / HDC functions handledby the computer onboard the ABS modulator? And how interdependent is that system on others? Does it work on it's own if you give it ABS sensor signals and ignition power, or does it need secret...

Seeing as we all seem to have half decent kit in our tool boxes, I thouht it might be handy to share some of the better / more innovative stuff weve came across, for example: Facom make a ratchet called the rotator which as well as working as a normal ratchet, id you twist the handle like a...
