I'm ordering a new defender to replace my td5. The dealer doesn't actually seem that knowledgable. I'm looking at a 90 hardtop (panel van), there is an entry level and an XS model, the difference between them is £5000, However it seems you can spec a base model to xs spec for £2000. Surely I'm...

Hi guys/gals Iv got an 06 90 td5, uprated the front brakes to 110 vented type, are there any differences with master cylinders? Should this be uprated aswel? Thanks

Hi Hope everybody is ok? My best mate has just bought a newer disco 3, we are driving over to Wales/Shropshire next weekend. He fancies taking it on some gentle lanes, see how it handles. It's got at tyres and I'm surprised how good it is on the little bit I have seen. Does...

I've had a disco td5 that was fairly modified. I've now got a td5 90, that's fairly standard. I love my 90, but my mate has just bought a disco 4. I am amazed how good it is on green lanes. I'm considering getting a disco 3 to replace my 90. I realise they are totally different things...

Hi guys Looking at doing an upgrade on my td5 90, the current suspension is very hard and doesn't flex that well. Thinking of OME +2 springs & +5 dampers. Has anybody got experience of them? Will medium duty provide a better ride, less harsh? Thanks

Been in the dales this weekend, realised that the brakes on my td5 are poor, brake fade is worrying! I know I have got a sticky caliper on the rear. I'm going to replace rear discs, pads & calipers anyway, will look at the fronts, I'm sure that they are cheap parts hence the heat up! The...

Hi. Having a bit of a spruce on my td5 90 today that I have just bought. Off for the rest of the week to prep it for the dales weekend. Only problem I've found so far is the diff lock lever is very stiff, any ideas how to sort? I'm assuming it's from lack of use so is it a case of...

Looking for a winch bumper for my 90 td5, looked on ebay, and google. Most that I'm finding are tubular, now I want an OE looking one if possible, anybody got any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Just bought a late td5 90 and got a few questions if any of you can help me? The battery tray seems to be missing, there is a battery sliding round so obviously need to sort that, but the battery looks very small, is this normal? I am going to fit a winch in the near future, maybe some...

Bought it this afternoon After searching and searching I've done a deal on a 90 td5 2007 Really wanted to spend less but I wanted something with no rot so went and bought a newer one! It's standard so will be spending on some off road goodies in the weeks to come. I've got an...

On the hunt for a 90 and after looking at a load of sheds I'm going to have to inflate my budget! I've found a really tidy one, 2006 that I want to do a few mods to: Old man emu suspension with good articulation, what will I need? Cones, mounts, shock, springs, cranked arms, props etc...

I recently put a post up about me looking at a td5 90. I currently have a disco td5, modified for off-road & alive tuned, I do love it but have an itch for a 90. Who on here actually has and takes it off-road, I'm looking for some experience, what mods should I do? Same as the disco, diff...

Been laning this weekend in my disco td5, was really pleased to be fair but I've still got the defender itch that I want to scratch. The car I'm considering is a 90 van td5, in blue 2000 (130k), it's got a few mods, winch, 2" lift kit, rock sliders, mud tyres etc. Is this a wise idea? I...

Went on the Wales trim over the weekend, on the whole was very surprised how my disco 2 tackled the lanes. Couple of battle scars due to overhang on the back, nothing too serious! I did however have 2 more serious problems, on strata coming back my alternator threw a hissy fit and put the...

The bonnet pull lever is broken in my discovery td5, had been like this since I bought it! However, I've got some mole grips on the cable and it usually opens fine. Came to open this morning and no matter how hard I pull it will not open, the cable is not moving inside the black outer. Now...

Changed my wheels over today and realised that my n/s rear hub is leaking transmission fluid, this is running onto the disc, which can't be great! Can somebody advise what I need to sort this out? Can I just replace a seal or is it the whole hub that needs changing? If I need a hub, is...
