I have a 2004 110. Bought it 2 years ago. I still have my old 109 with EP 90 swivel pins. The 110s L swivel housing was pitted and leaked. Had this replaced and put more grease in R side. It then started to leak. I was going to replace the seal by splitting seals. But when I cleaned and looked...

The nipples on my 2004 TD5 Defender is badly rusted and needs replacing. On e-bay they sell stainless ones, but none look like the Landy ones. Does anybody know whether you can get SS ones of the correct size and if so, where.

I would like to have my 2004 TD5 professionally rust proofed. Does anybody know of anyone near Oxford that is good ? Or have experience of really good person/company further afield? Any experience or advice would be appreciated.

Does anybody know of a good independent Landover mechanic near me ? I do most of the body and mechanical things myself, but my new Td5 is not like my old Series 3 baby and I need some help with engine issues. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have ordered a Gore replacement housing. These don't come with the 4 pipes that clip to the bayonet clips on the rubber pipes. You have to use your old ones. Therefore new copper washers are needed. As I am using the car currently, cant take it apart to check the size. Does anybody know the...

The outside front pipe- I think it is the low pressure return pipe- was leaking where it screws into the housing. I nipped it up, but it still oozes a bit. In the workshop manual it shows that the male part screws in flush and with a copper washer. Mine looks different. In does not screw in...

Any advice as to which one for my 2004 TD5 Defender. Any advice from anybody that have fitted one, as my knowledge of electrical/computer bits are sketchy at best. Terrafirma seems to be the most mentioned as per my searches. Also would it be best to stomp up the money to have it fitted ? Thanks.

I have a Defender TD5 XS 2004. While on holiday last week-noticed that the lock in the front passenger door handle is missing. The 2 middle handles have blanking plugs and the driver handle has the normal key thingy. Now my question is- should the front passenger door have a key bit or a...

I have a 110 TD5 with a factory fitted tow bar. It seems to be quite low. Not the movable plate, but the fixed brackets that attach to the back cross member and attaches to the 2 arms that attaches to the chassis further forward. As I will be using it in Namibia on very rough roads, am wondering...

All my experience up to now has been with Series Landies. Have now ventured into tomorrow and bought a 2004 TD5 Defender XS. I am now trying to get to grips with all the electronics. It seems that having some form of device/computer to access/clear fault codes, etc. is needed. Also quite...

When should the fan be running? Even when engine warm it does not run. How do I know it is functioning prpperly? Any insight would be appreciated. Also what is the perceived benefits of an electric main engine fan ipo the heavy viscous monster?

I am in the process of fitting this loom to sort out the stalk switch issues. Am also adapting loom to make leads longer so that I can bring the wires around the bulkhead rather than across the rad. Hoping to attach the relays somewhere between air inlet duct and front of wing. Has anybody found...

I have always understood that it was only in the very late Defenders that a relay was fitted. Before that the full current went through the stalk switch with all the well known problems associated with that. Usually solved with a " Boomslang" kit. Now I see that there is a headlight relay in the...

I have 2 Landrovers- a 1981 Series 3 21/4 petrol. Took this one to Africa in early 2000s and did a 15 000 mile round trip of southern Africa. Only mechanical problem was a blown head gasket for which I had a spare. Did this with wife and 3 kids 4, 7, 11. Marriage just about survived. I Have now...

I fitted the EGR blanking kit to my 2005 TD5 last night. Blanked off the vacuum pipes to EGR and unplugged electric plugs to 2 solenoids. Advice on the net seems to be conflicting: some say that ECU will now realise that EGR not available and adjust accordingly. Other people do not mention...
