Hi all, weird problem - I can't find my OBD diagnostics port. It's not behind the fuse box, and the shop has just spent a whole day looking for it. This is an ex-Australian army year 2000 built 110, 2.5L diesel - at least I think it's a TD5 (for the ADF enthusiasts, no, it's not a Perentie...

Bonza, it worked! You are a star. I was working off the weird wiring job the previous owner did, which somehow worked but made no sense. When the shop welded me a non-insanely broken winch bumper attachment, it got all mixed up. I cleaned up and redid the wiring as per the solenoid pack...

Thank you, sir, I'll try to have a look at this tomorrow - I have a bit of a color mess, looks like. I was going to try today, and the biggest damn storm of all time came down, and I spent all evening digging drainage trenches through my yard to get the torrents of water away from my walls, and...

Thanks - I will check the motor again for a ground attachment (couldn't see one). My ground cable also attaches directly to the battery. So - ground cable to motor ground attachment. What of the motor ground wire that attaches to F2 in the diagram above, though? Is that what you mean by...

Help me, Landyzone Kenobi, you're my only hope... I have a Warn 25314 with an M8000 control box. I have been driving myself insane poring over wiring diagrams trying to rewire it (it was removed to re-mount it would have ripped itself off the bull bar mount on first use with the previous...

Thanks both - the tree sliders are a distant second option, I don't really like the look of them that much, but if worse comes to worse... The sales guy I spoke with at John Craddock was adamant that the 2-door Defender chassis would absolutely no way no how fit any of the Defender side...

Hiho, I've been looking around for possible side step bars for my 110, but have just been told in no uncertain terms by a vendor that due to a completely different chassis layout from the 4-doors, there's no such thing that'll fit me. I'd hoped to find something like this: I really don't like...

Thanks guys. I had considered caravan windows, but get blank looks when I ask around for them. I wanted to know first whether the window sizes I have are somehow standard, since there seem to be a lot of aftermarket gullwing replacements for Defenders, but either for the longer 1100mm (?)...

Hi there, The side windows on my 2000 110 are junk. The slide closures are loose and falling apart, the lining is old and a mess, the glass rattles (previous owner even silicone-sealed several of them shut). I've been looking for replacement windows, ideally tilting/gullwing windows that flip...

Appreciate the offer - I have two sets of rims already though, gonna try and see what I can fit on those!

Those are the Perenties - they have Isuzu diesels. Apparently they're too overpowered for the stock transmission to handle, so they end up having to replace them occasionally. Perenties are all cloth sided except for some ambulance and radio van models. I nearly bought one, but the wind in...

Here's a pic from January, stuck in Australian rush hour traffic: And no, I usually wear an ugly Hawaiian shirt. I kitted it out with multicolored disco lights, though. That gets some fun looks. There unfortunately appears to be no practical way to get the engine (year 2000) compatible...

Great, I came here looking for information about suspensions and tires, and now I want a pig.

Argh you are right, my apologies, I needed that reminder. New here, not that that’s an excuse!

Mine's a former troop carrier; former owner put in a carpeted raised floor to accommodate storage compartments. I had to rip out the original benches in the back to allow me to register it as a truck in Germany (otherwise I would have had to rip out the whole bullbars/winch assembly when I...

I have to smile at posts like this; I think the Australian army popped down to Bunnings and picked up a few pallets of ugly house paint on sale for the camo jobs on their Td5s :-) Someone already "smartened up the bodywork" on this one before I bought it, with what looks like a paint roller.

Hi there, I recently saw a 110 in Berlin with a set of really nice Goodrich 255/85 r13s. I think it was raised a bit to accommodate them: I'm not really keen on mucking with suspension lifts as I got it with a great set of custom shocks (plus my mother in law has enough trouble getting...

Budget's not so much an issue, I love this vehicle, even investing a significant sum will be less expensive than getting a new one, and not least, I kinda see it as being entrusted with a piece of Aussie military heritage that I bought into a responsibility to treat well, so there is that...

Thanks for the reply. I am honestly completely unfamiliar with the technology. I'm just exploring options at the moment. From my poking around on line, there seem to be diesel-lpg conversions such as this one, that claim to deal with the various problems you'd expect (e.g. compression...

Hi there, say hello to Tinkerbell: Year 2000 Td5, Australian Defence Forces troop carrier, brought back from Australia when we moved to Europe. I registered it as a lorry (!) in Germany where we first moved, as that was the only way to let me keep the winch (not shown here), roo bars, and a...
