Hi, I've been slowly renewing bits and pieces on my TD5 defender and have came to do all the rubber coolant hoses, radiator, waterpump and thermostat since most of this is now 20 years old and as I plan on an alive VNT turbo, I wanted the cooling to be working tip top before I put anymore...

Hi, I've just swapped my ECU to a NNN500250 from ebay on my 15p td5 defender. Did the normal map flash, injector, throttle and security learn. Truck starts and drives fine but I am getting fault codes for Aircon open load. Presumably the car this ECU came from had AC and so is giving a fault...

Hi everyone, Was progressing with my Defender project have been replacing the stub axles on both side, one side went off fine which probably gave me too much confident and I ended up applying too much torque to the bolts on the other side, snapping 3 of them.... They all actually unwinded a...

Hi all, My defender is slowly looking more attractive as I do things to it so it's about time to get an alarm fitted. Looking at the Toad Ai606 or some sort of Viper alarm. Does anyone have any recommendations on good fitters around the Warwickshire/Midland area? Also thinking about...

Was giving my newly acquired Defender a clean up and found this in the car.. Is this an actual part for the car or just a random bit of metal?

Hi guys, First post here, like many, I've wanted a defender for a long time but have not had one before. I actually work for Land Rover on the corporate side and happens to also own a Land Rover parts business somewhere in the far east so it kind of makes all the sense that I should have one...
