Hi all, I currently have a 2006 TD5 and need another one, but the budget will stretch to a slightly later 2.4 TDCi. Are there any major differences between the two in terms of reliability, driveability, comfort etc? My TD5 is bloody noisy at most speeds, particularly above 50mph so are the...

I have a 1,000 mile journey coming up and would like a nice simple solution to quieten down my slightly whiney front diff! It's whined from day 1 so I'm used to it, but it does get tiresome after 15 hours or so! Anything wrong with bunging some (decent) 75w110 in there for the trip? Will this...

Hi all, Can anyone tell me what is most likely to be leaking from the attached pic? For info, this started after replacing the rear brake pads (which were then binding just a touch as I guess the new brake pads were too thick :rolleyes:) and taking a 700 mile trip to the Alps! Hopefully it's a...

Hi guys, I'm looking for a black Freelander Sport drivers side door in good conditions please. Doesn't need all the gubbins as I can transfer all that across from mine. The car was immaculate before one of my staff members decided to have a fight with a low wall (see attached pic!) so if I can...

Hi guys, I came out to my Defender this morning to find a small puddle of power steering fluid on the floor under the steering box, which is annoying as it has only covered 42k miles. The steering has felt slightly odd of late, it was very easy to turn the wheel, especially left, but now that...

So I've been entirely uninspired by the sounds my Defender has been able to conjure up from its pathetic 4" speakers and finally decided to replace them with upgraded alternatives, plus a sub-woofer. I've done a lot of research on car audio installs in Defenders, especially sub placement, and...

Hey guys, I've had an ongoing issue with my 2004 TD4 that I have attributed to worn injectors. First start of the day would have you think that a tank has let off a smoke screen there's so much white smoke. It doesn't smell oily so I figured it's injectors leaking overnight. Engine idles...

Hi all, I'm looking for a Nanocom/Hawkeye for diagnostic on my 2006 Defender TD5. If you have one please can you include the cost of shipping to France please. Address available on request :) Merci boucoup!

So I'm on my way down to the Alps and we have stopped in Dijon for the night. The Freelander is now running pretty rough, curiously idle is perfect, always has been, but off idle I'm getting a horrible clacking and much reduced power - no smoke though of any colour although I do get a white...

I know, oil questions have been done to death on most car forums, butI have just had my 2004 Freelander serviced by a very reputable and well respected independent garage who used 15w40 oil in my 2004 TD4. I have loads of old receipts from Lancaster Land Rover showing that the only oil they...

Ok ok, so the weather is lovely today and I'm very much looking forward to enjoying a warm and sunny summer, however I need to buy a second car within the next week or so and it must perform well on snow and ice as it will be living in the French alps for 6 months of the year :cool: My...

Ok, so I think I'm going to head to LR tomorrow to get some MTF94, but just want to pass this across you guys first... So I've just greased up all my propshafts with Rocol Sapphire 2 bearing grease, fine, then I changed the gearbox oil out for Redline MTL 75w80 gear oil, as it comes highly...

How much gear whine is too much!? I've never owned another Land Rover, or 4x4 for that matter so maybe this is normal, but at anything above about 45mph I get a gentle constant whine, that gets louder if accelerating along with an increase in pitch vs speed, and eases when you ease off the...

So I wanted to fit my EGR removal kit from TMD yesterday but I have the exhaust gas cooler fitted which looks like I'll need another couple of plates to seal off. Can I leave this open? I presume not as there are two pipes coming from the cooler, so can I buy the plates separately or is there...

Hey guys, Picked up Larry this morning, did 90 motorway miles back home and my god is he slow! :eek: Haha, drive great though, with only 21,000 miles on the clock he's tighter than a nun's :D Here he is meeting Nancy, our other slow vehicle, a 1971 VW Camper: Now that he's back...

Hey guys, Just bought a 2006 Defender 110 XS to use in the French alps as guest transport, looking forward to joining the Land Rover community! Cheers, Paul.

Morning all, First of all I'm new here but have browsed a few times in the past while looking for info on taking a Landy to Mongolia... ended up taking a Suzuki Vitara instead... Anyway, I'm looking to do the opposite of what most people want to do, and that's to remove the two forward...
