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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

It had been a few weeks since I posted but my 2001 TD5 now has a new rear door care of SPL (very helpful), also new door hinges all round and new seals. Doors don't now bounce up and down when driving - hooray. Rear door was quite a lot of work to fit but all now in and done. Used SPL spray...

Hi All, just read through the various pain on paint codes. I wonder peoples views on the attached - 2001 TD5 90. Epsom Green??

Newbie here, just bought a 2001 td5 defender. Already feel at home with rotten door bottoms, a saggy headlining and immobiliser problems. I may be a regular! Best repair and service guys around here? Let me know recommendations. Thanks, T
