Considering having the flexibility of a portable 12v winch - unsuitable for deep tow out jobs but possibly useful for lots of other things. I assumed eBay and Amazon would be stuffed full of them but not so. Looking for a unit with a fixed hook (to strap round a tree or off a beam) and hook and...

Hello, I'm totally new to Series having changed from a TD5 Defender so please forgive a possibly stupid question. I get a clunk from the front when accelerating and taking my foot off the pedal in all gears. Looking at the front prop shaft I notice a few things - the gaiter is long gone - I can...

Just before Christmas, on the 1st icy day I put my lovely 2002 TD5 90 into a ditch at the side of the road. All very slow - no more than 20mph - but the stop was abrupt. After having it for 4 1/2 months the insurer / garage have now decided that it is not economical to repair it. The damage...

Is it just me that finds bumper bolts a pain? I replaced sheared off bolts some time again with YRMs? nice stainless bolts and threaded plate which makes things a bit easier but even so, trying to locate them in the base plate blind (no underside access), whilst keeping a heavy winch and bumper...

Has anyone done a really good Diesel Air Heater installation in a Defender 90 TD5? I've just bought one. 1. Needs a 10cm hole cut in the floor 2. Can be noisy I've seen on this site one mounted behind the front seats. The preferred place seems to be squeezing alongside the battery under the...

Hello, apologies for not introducing myself last year - didn't realise the etiquette! I'm a big user of the advice on this forum and very grateful for it too. I have a 2002 Defender 90 TD5 which I've had for I suppose 5 years now. It's my daily drive currently and believe it or not everything...

Found on Thingiverse some useful files for commonly broken bits such as door knobs and door card pins that are easy to print with a 3D printer. Does anyone know of any other files for other parts around - it would be nice if LandyZone could become a repository for 3D printer part files - it's...

At last I've got enough posts to do this in the correct section. I have a new 'still-in-box' heated rear window with high level brake light. It looks like this https://www.sp-4x4.com/CQB101560_HEATED_DEFENDER_GLASS_p/cqb101560.htm Free to whoever wants it (or make a small donation to this...

Getting the fuel tank out of my TD5 was an absolute b***er. Getting it back in to place has been even worse. Everything is so very tight that it took over an hour with jack, slings and big hammers to persuade the cover plate back in to place ....... only to find I'd forgotten to fit the tow eye...

Hello, Whilst replacing the rear cross member I thought I'd relocate the tow-hitch electrics plug into the PTO hole to make a nice neat job. I've disconnect the grey square plug in the wheel arch but find there are a couple of spare wires at the back of the grey plug - One Purple with a strange...

Posted the same question yesterday but for some reason did not appear as a new thread - apologies if duplicated. I'm going to fit Anti roll / sway bars front and back to my Defender some time in the future. Whilst fitting a new short leg rear chassis cross member, because the tank guard and...

I'm going to fit Anti roll / sway bars front and back to my Defender some time in the future. Whilst fitting a new short leg rear chassis cross member, because the tank guard and tank were removed I thought I'd just check the ARB mounting 10mm head bolts would undo ..... they all sheared off...

A bit of numpty metal cutting meant I cut through my wiring loom. Started to solder on loads of little extension wires upside down - not easy - gave up because my hands were too cold last night and you can only take so much solder hitting you in the face. Thought there must be a better way and...

Apologies if a covered subject. I'm replacing the rear cross member so need to get the fuel tank out. 1. Getting the tow hitch off was trouble enough. 2. The fuel tank guard taxed me to the limit (I had to remove the rear diff. guard because that 6mm of forward movement was the difference...

My 2002 TD5 Chassis is pretty good - just had the extreme Dinitrol Treatment a couple of months ago. Since many of the problems with corrosion seem to stem from there being lots of holes, but not all in good places for drainage - is there a good reason not to fill the whole thing with expanding...

Hello, I need wisdom on a point I know little about. My lovely 2002 TD5 90 is lifted 2" and has no ARB's front or back. Nowadays its mostly road driving for me with occasional and mild off-road and it does wallow a bit in corners. I suppose my options are: 1. Take the lift off (but I am a...

2002 Defender TD5 Hi - I'm sure someone here would have a good answer for this one. I've installed some gauges in a pod over the dash (Boost, Oil Pressure, and Oil Temperature). Boost works fine set in the turbo waste-gate line, Oil pressure works fine by using a T-piece adapter at the location...

Hello - can anyone help? My 2002 TD5 Defender is a bit odd in that the heater works really well. I thought a good little winter project might be to improve the control of blower from the OFF, JUST ON, NOISEY GALE FORCE options available. I got a PWM from a Chinese eBay site for £9 which came in...

I've got in the bits to install 3 gauges in the Mud small console top box. There have been quite a few posts on this but just wanted a bit more advice: 1. Turbo gauge - installing using a T-pice in the small waste - gate line 2. Oil pressure gauge - I have a tee-piece to put in where the oil...

i have a 2002 Defender 90 TD5. It has started 'misfiring' / dropping out momentarily under acceleration / and even whilst cruising at speed resulting in a bit of a kangaroo ride. When this happens a lot it goes into 'limp mode' but stopping and starting again always gets me going again. Very...
