    Heated seats work great... for 10min.

    Hi guys, Thanks for the helpful feedback! I'll hook a voltmeter to one of the heating elements and time it, try a few times, and see if it's the same time everytime. I'll get back to you ASAP! Thanks again.

    Heated seats work great... for 10min.

    Hi folks, I thought it was a switch issue, but having swapped passenger and driver switches, the exact same problem persists. It works great for 10-15min, then nothing... Eventually resets itself, then I can use it again. Seems like something is overheating somewhere. Anyone ever had this...

    Defender 110 TD5 2006

    Well, it may not seem like a lot, but given the fact we have a 4 month old baby, I'm pretty happy with what I've manage to accomplish in 10 days off at home! - temporary fix of an air leak in the HVAC system. I must've lost a seal or something whe removing the lower part of the AC dash add-on...

    1952 80" Rover V8

    It'll be interesting to figure out how it can be done. Or maybe I can get in touch with the guys from the video? I'll give it a shot. Don't try, don't get.

    1952 80" Rover V8

    I wasn't thinking about the lack of space aft of the TC to be honest, valid point there... But it has been done before! So I'm not losing all hope yet!

    1952 80" Rover V8

    Hello guys, I've already mentioned my Series 1 (incorrectly stating it was a '53, turns out it's a '52 after all, after checking with the DMV) on the forum, it has been sitting for many years... My grandpa bought it in July 1975 and used it as a tractor pretty much to build his cabin in the...

    Defender 110 TD5 2006

    Turns out it was just the breather pipe... I can finally fill the tank, yay! Since then, I fitted an A bar with a new bumper and some Hella Comets. Not to everyone's taste, but I won't mind a bit more light on those unlit roads at night. The keen eye will notice the hacked covers to fit on the...

    Defender 110 TD5 2006

    Nope, I filled it to check where it comes from, didn't see anything through the new inspection hatch in the boot. Doesn't seem to be coming from the filler neck either... Strange one.

    Defender 110 TD5 2006

    Well, after not having the car for 4 months, I'm finally able to drive it again! What a blast they are to drive these Defenders... It's my daily driver and I'll be doing quite a lot of miles with it... I'm actually looking forward to these drives. The OME "medium duty" kit from LR Parts...

    Defender 110 TD5 2006

    Hi folks, Not many updates to give you, I've done around 600 miles, then I dropped it off at a friend's place who's looking after it for me. I simply don't have the time, space or tools to undertake heavy maintenance. Here's where I'm at: - 5th gear was loud... Learned the hard way that the...

    Hi everyone!

    Thanks! Well, that's the funny part. I wasn't even looking for one... It just appeared in my life! A friend working for a Volvo dealership told me a client was selling his 110 via them, initially I kind of ignored it... Then one night at his place, after what was probably too many beers, I...

    Hi everyone!

    It'll be a properhappy ending when the Series One will be back on the road! In the meantime, I'm pretty sure she's a keeper... I had a Lada Niva as a daily driver, in a way they're comparable, I think.

    I'll look it up, I appreciate the tip!

    Defender 110 TD5 2006

    Nope, cloth seats. Not sure if related, but the AC fan runs continuously too. She's a LHD, yup. I'm gonna drive her in Europe, so it's fine.

    Defender 110 TD5 2006

    Howdy folks, It took me longer than it should've, but I finally got myself a Landy (that runs)! Pretty much a textbook example of a compulsive buy, but I wouldn't have bought if it weren't for a buddy of mine who knows the owner and basically maintained this car its whole life. What I'm saying...

    Hi everyone!

    Howdy folks, It took longer than expected, but I'm finally the proud owner of a Land Rover product that runs and drives: a 2006 Defender 110 TD5, covered about 110000 miles. I bought it from the original owner, and the car has been maintained by a friend that works at a reputable Land Rover...

    Series 1 1953 model in need of love

    Some MAJOR news! Tonton (name I've given to the car, that's how I used to call my grandpa, former owner of the car) is now out of the woods and in a dry place. Some pictures of today's adventure. We managed to get a local farmer to help us for the sketchy bit in the woods. Even with a Defender...

    Series 1 1953 model in need of love

    tottot, thank you! Wimblowdriver, that would actually make perfect sense, but there are no marks in the bed that would sugggest this. Maybe it was fitted to the floor, and the floor changed? I'm actually not painting it, just going to try to get rid of the non-original layers of paint so the LR...

    Series 1 1953 model in need of love

    I noticed that too... Maybe it has something to do with the metal plate with a hole in it, on the side. Like I said, I've been told this is an ex military vehicle, so God knows what it has seen...
