Dear forum members, I am searching for high quality led halo led lights that will be of a different quality compared to the cheap Chinese copies. I am now running the latter and though they look nice, they have a very poor quality of lighting. Also the halo is too transparent and leaves an...

Dear forum members, Each time I post here, I wanna first thank all the good people who have helped me so much with many many technical questions. Really appreciate it!!! For the past year I've been investing heavily into my TD5 D90 and am very pleased with the results (knock on wood). I did a...

Guys, there is this youtube video where a couple took their heavy 130 to Kyrgyzstan and after hitting a large pothole at 30 kmh (the incident is shown at 4:30 - some 30 seconds), had the truck's swivel housing broken in two. From the beginning they were naming a major cause being the large...

Guys, thanks for all the help regarding the brakes. I'm waiting for the parts to arrive. I am currently searching for this part marked with the red rectangle. Has anyone seen it being sold separately? Thanks again for all Your help!!

Dear forum members! I was unable to pass the MOT because of insufficient brake strength. The compound efficiency was 35%, it needs to be over 50% to pass. The difference between the front and rear axle brake strength is about 3 times. The front brakes are just over the limit of acceptable, but...

Guys, can someone suggest what is the name (or part number) of the part with the yellow ribbon on the photo? I searched in the workshop manual without result. Hope it's not the ABS modulator, as mine is a TD5 and without an ABS. Thank You!!

Dear forum members, I live in Estonia and drive a 2006 TD5 D90. Every year in april/may I go to a reputable MOT, where they are rather strict with me and I do all the repairs until the car passes with flying colours. Yet every year I am involved in an argument with them over the testing of the...

Guys, do You have a way of delivering your trucks to the MOT exhaust gas test? The problem is the MOT people don't appreciate the amount of black powdery stuff that flies out of the exhaust at revving. I usually do a longer drive on the highway, with engine hot, I rev it much more than I would...

Dear forum members, maybe someone can help me with this. I was searching for this part shown on the photo: I sent this photo to Britcar and asked if they have a LHD part for this. They indicated a part BTR5232 called Finisher:) https://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/142355/13645/finisher...

Dear forum members, I know this is a hopeless thing to ask, but will try anyway:) The greatest living poet of landyzone, mr. JamesMartin, had this to say about it in 2013: "unless its something thats just come on smoke on start up is normal,cold start in pump and unburnt fuel when cranking"...

Dear forum members, I need to replace the power steering fluid and the workshop manual gives 2 choices, of which I will go for the Cold Climate PAS Fluid 14315 LRN2261. I have 2 choices of this oil - full-synth and semi-synth. What would You advise, is going full-synth safe for the gaskets and...

Dear forum folk, The lock on my 2006 D90 stopped letting the key in and only worked through the central locking, so I bought a set of 3 door lock barrels with a separate starter barrel to match them all to one key. The product in the internet shop was called "DEF TD5 / PUMA 2002 ONWARDS...

Dear Defender owners, The plastic connector on one of my fuel lines, where it connects to the fuel filter housing metal pipes is so worn out that it starts to slide under pressure (caused a loss of half a tank of diesel on a short drive). I had just replaced the filter housing with a shiny new...

Dear guys, I've seen many threads here about this. I have this problem very often. The central locking unlocks and then pulls the button in. I'm gonna open up the door cards, replace the windows and locks and am planning to go over all the greasable parts and prepare them for the use in the our...

Guys, for 4 years I thought I had a Station Wagon 90, because mine's got side windows, although no seats. Now I learnt from the dealer, that my truck is registered as a Hard Top S in their database, which makes sense, as there have been no rear seats. The question is: is the only difference...

Guys, I have been thinking about this a lot. I have a feeling that, if what comes next after the Defender had portals, I'd be hard pressed to hate it whatever looks it had. Am I alone thinking that? P.S. I know that there will be no portals, but just a theoretical thought. Also, lets not think...

There are thousands of threads on the MTF-94 oil and I know it is the workshop manual oil for R380, but my local reputable independent LR garage suggests Transmax Z. I have used this oil in my gearbox twice (every 2 years) and haven't had any issues. I would really like to understand, what is...

Good people on this forum! Can anyone help me decode this Nanocom (8,2) FUEL PUMP DRIVE OVER TEMPERATURE (logged)? I have a 2006 TD5 Defender. I am surprised that googling doesn't return any results :|

I don't know if it's a legitimate advice or just a legend, but does it make sense to take the truck to the highway every once in a while and floor it hard to 'burn off the excesses of exhaust gunk built-up'? One should see a black cloud of smoke/ash flying out of the exhaust when this is done...

Hi, guys! I have been having some clunking sounds in the drivetrain of my 2006 D90 and decided to fix it. I was really hoping it was not the rear diff and replaced the rear halfshafts, drive flanges and the prop shaft + the front halfshafts, cv joints, flanges (also the stub axles, bearings...
