Defender TD5 90 2001: 70K miles on the clock About one time in 10, when I turn the ignition key I get nothing - not even a click. It was doing it more frequently, but a removal and clean of the starter motor terminals seems to help matters. But, it still does it, and I am logically concerned...

Probably a stupid question but.... Hi All, My TD5 90 heater direction cable snapped but right at the end where the dash control is so managed to reconnect it. Seems to work fine now and direct air up and down on both sides of the cabin. A mystery though - when looking at the heater unit in the...

I bought my 2001 TD5 a couple of years back. Prob paid over the odds for it but its 65K miles. New rear door, new seals all round, hinges, wax oiled, serviced, new rear chassis section, interior refitted, doors stripped, repainted and sealed etc etc. It gets regular use towing a horse box but...

Last week I was picking up my youngest from a horse event and the X-Trail beside me got stuck in the mud. Defender to the rescue! - unhitched my horse trailer and pullled him and his loaded horse box out through the muddy field. Hoorah for Landy's. Today however I got stuck! I was toeing a 7x5...

Hi thanks for the reply - yes I removed the whole thing. Does anyone know for sure whether 509t's are the right bulb here? There seems to be various forums which says yes, maybe the normal bulbs I recently got sent are not the correct ones?

Help????? My 2001 TD5 90 Speed was dark - I removed it and the bulbs are missing! Presumably someone before tried to replace and gave up. I can understand. I ordered some 509T LED's from flea-bay but could not get them to fit. I therefore ordered some standard 509T's 'coz I thought that would do...

Now I accept it might be my hearing, or the wonderful sound proofing in a 90 TD5 cabin (2001) but I keep driving with the indicator on as a) if often fails to cancel, sort of ok with that but also b) the relay is so quiet one can't hear it at normal road speeds. Anyone tried to fiddle with...

I have this issue with TD5 - only one key and one immobiliser fob. Cant for the life of me find someone to do me a new fob without going into a lady dealer :-(

Mine had been welded in the past as was going again. Recent MOT came up as an advisory for towing. Given I regularly tow a horse box I have just had the rear chassis replaced by a local chap. Good job and I considered worth the investment in the long run given I have had the land for a while and...

SPlandrovers supplied mine - seem fine. I was paranoid about getting the old ones off my 2001 TD5 with all the stories. Sprayed WD40 up the bulkhead a few weeks before trying, put penetrating oil on them from outside a few times - they came off first go! wow

Thanks All! some great advice here

My TD5 90 has no jack. A previous owner must have thoughtfully removed it. I would like one in the car and was thinking of a bottle jack from trusty halfords. However, if buying a new one - is there a nice one that would fit along the bulkhead and look the business? Anyone got any...

My TD5 does this - I tried for a while to find the leaks, but bought a car cover instead, not quite as stupid as it sounds as I don't use the car everyday.

I wonder if there is the basis of an idea here for LandyZone? Whilst I do the general repairs myself I am not as adventurous as many on this forum. I am therefore always keen to know of the recommended Guys we go to (or Gals) when we need a special job done on our precious vehicle. I can't...

I did this as my was leaking - ended up taking the whole thing out on a nice sunny day, using mastic to bed the glass. The black internal trim is the hard bit which I think is what you are referring to. I cleaned mine then ran a small amount of washing up liquid around the part of the seal that...

This is the one that caught my attention http://www.superwinch.com/p/winch-in-a-bag-–-2-000-lbs-12v

OK, so I am rarely going to go off road in my Td5, I admit it. But, I like the idea of having a winch just in case I do, or for bad weather comfort/snow driving, helping others, whatever. My TD5 (2001) is bog standard. I was wondering whether the winch in a bag options advertised here and there...

just did that - was fitting a new door and feeling weight of spare was of the view that mounting on the door itself was always a design issue. My last door disintegrated when rusty (2001 TD5).

Herewith some photos, went for the separate wheel carrier...

Oops, will sort at weekend!
