Gidday, LUCAS 17TN / KHH17TN - you know it, looks like this: I have a 2008 Defender 110 PUMA with an original fob, but I want another at the ready, so bought a used one off ebay (i.e. not 'new', and never used with my auto). The local 'Key Dr' says programming cannot be done. Researching...

Gidday, Defender with 100,000km on the clock and according to the previous owner it's now due for a service. I'm wondering: What is involved in a normal scheduled service? How important is it to go to someone who specialises in LR/Defenders? (as opposed to a cheaper general mechanic) I'm...

Hello all, PUMA model Defender 2008. Bit of a head scratcher here after replacing my clutch master cylinder, I've bled it and had no bubbles coming through for quite a few pumps, but now that I've topped up the reservoir and closed the bleed valve the clutch pedal will still fall to the floor...

Hello All, Interior lights stay on in 'Auto' setting. Using 'Auto' mode both rear and front interior lights are staying on when all doors shut. The alarm will not beep at me when I arm it (indicating door switches may well be OK). 'Off' mode switches lamp off. When I manually depress a door...
