Hi, I am just wondering if anyone has installed a bank of switches into the dash of your defender? I have a 200tdi and was thinking that a few set of 3 would look nice and not so cluttered as a big centre console? Also my young son in the front seat would have some buttons to press on his side...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone knows a quick hack to bypass an after market immobiliser to get my defender back on the road. I know this might sound dodgy but I own the vehicle and cant drive it!!!!! I lost my only working and the master bullet fob! If there is no bypass do I need to follow each...

Hi All! I have a problem. After I lost my keys I have discovered I have lost the master bullet key for a MI600 Microscan immobiliser (installed 2008). The others do not work! So the defender won't start. Ive located the immobiliser and plan to remove it. Do you have any tips on how to do it? I...

Hi, this happened to me. I fixed a leak off the rear axel, I discovered and cleaned the blocked rear breather banjo bolt. I topped up the oil all was fine. Then I drove to work a few days later, I hear a bang from the back (just thought it was a tool sliding). At work I see some funny oil...

Here's my problem. 110 200tdi, 1992 defender. Off side dip headlamp is not working. Both main beam lights are working. And side lights. I have tried the fuse and i swapped the left and right fuses around and the fuse is ok. There were sparks when I put the fuse in the left lamp slot. I...

Is anyone selling the old type of defender doors? I would like the front and back for my 110 defender please. I'm willing to swap my new style for the old if anyone has a front and back set they don't want?

Hi Just installed a new tank and sender as the old one leaked. Ran out of diesel today but the gauge never went below the red. Re filled it and it now goes up to full ok. Before it did go into the but the warning light did not come on. I generally refill it at half full but as I was changing...

MOT is Wednesday and I've got a wee problem I think. A few weeks ago I filled the defender up to the max, proper full, right up to the top. Once I finished filling it (as I was housing the hose back into the pump) the diesel in the tank made a 'burp' and spat out some fuel? Then a few days...

Hi all, Had a look on threads and here's what I've done and think is the problem: So low clutch bite after a long 300 mile trip in 24 hours. Top reservoir was empty. Bled the system with my dad pumping the pedal at the right time. Bled through to new fluid. Looked like the air was out and...

Just wondering if anyone prefers the sliding front wondows and would replace the regular window with them? Where can you buy a wolf window kit? Many thanks!

200Tdi 110 defender. I changed the transfer box oil and gear box fluid the other day and the drip it still there. It only happens after I run the car for a while. I cleaned up some of the grime and the drip looks like it's coming from in between the gear box and transfer box. What do you...

My first job was to fix the play in the steering on my 1991 defender. Here's what happened so far: -Castle nut came off ball joint ok, drag link went off easy! -Nut for drop arm was solid. 20 mins of going for it only to get it loose after I started to heat it up via the angle grinder on the...

Hi, Been driving the past few days and there was a ticking noise that got faster with the revs (and quite oddly less in 3rd). I opened the bonnet (baring in mind I'm very much a novice with engines) and saw that in time with the ticking noise was this small arm on what I now know to be the...

Just about to lock the defender, the window is all the way down. Went to close it and it and the handle would only turn a few revolutions, then it got really tight and stopped turning. The window would only close 4 inches. Any help would be great thanks.

Hi, I bought the 110 j reg defender! First jobs are: Repair rusty hole in box section of the chassis Replace worn ball joints on drag link and drop arm I'm new to all this! Took me 1 day to find the dip stick! Even longer to see why the steering is light, 11-1 is non existent. Friends...

Hi, I'm new to this forum and land rovers. I'm very close to changing my second vehicle for a land rover. Thought I had better see if I can get some advice from this community to ensure I get the right one at the right price. I'm from Shrewsbury, got a wife and son. Like to run and keep fit.
