Anyone know what this is loose in the engine bay? There are actually two of them both disconnected. They route up from underneath. It was raining so I didn't crawl down for a look. Looks possibly like they're part of some vacuum system. Cheers Mike

So had a disaster yesterday. After a long day in a rush to head up north the fuel light came on in the Defender TD5. Filled the tank full with premium unleaded so mostly petrol in the tank minus whatever is in reserve when the light comes on. I then drove several miles without realising my...

So just bought a defender the other night. I've been posting a few questions here before buying so thanks all those who have helped. She's a high milage (180k) slightly unloved 1999 TD5. Actually I don't think she's in too bad shape. I've seen much worse looking ones with lower milage. Engine...

Hi there. I've been lurking on this forum for a while and decided to sign up. I don't actually own a land rover yet but am looking to get a defender. Currently I have a Porsche 928 which I do most of the work on myself. I'm about to move house into a bit of a fixer upper so want a landy to lug...
