Got a bit of a problem with my lad's TD5 110 (not sure what year!), we have rear lights but no brake lights including the high level. It did pop the fuse which was changed, he found a test online to check one of the connections under the bonnet which gave continuity, checking the wires at the...

My lad has a full width led light bar on the roof of his 110 and we would like to move it forward so it sits at the top of the windscreen. The brackets it's fitted with won't allow this so silly question - does anyone know of any brackets available or is it a case of make our own? This bit...

My lad's 110 TD5 is going to need a new swivel on the offside - as it has leaked everywhere I assume it will need to whole thing replacing? Couple of questions for people with more knowledge than me (which will be most Defender owners!) - is there anyway I can check if it's just a seal that has...

Completely my fault! Due to not using my '04 TD4 for a while, the battery has gone completely flat. For some strange reason it has popped the drivers door lock which is very useful, I can open the bonnet! Before I pull the battery out and charge it is there anything specific I should know? I...

The handbrake cable on my lad's 2001 110 TD5 Defender handed it's notice in with a massive bang yesterday, I've ordered a new cable and decided while we're under it new shoes and springs etc might as well be fitted so ordered those as well (I do have to say the lady on the phone from Paddocks...

That this is a Series 2a? It's one of those "a friend asked me to take a look at some pictures", I haven't seen it in the flesh/aluminium/rust yet, the only things I do know is it's a J suffix registration and someone my friend knows may be selling it as a project. I'm waiting for more...

... but it will be a Christmas present for my son and I'm pretty sure he won't look in the Freelander forum! At the moment his Defender stationwagon has a spare wheel carrier that fixes to the offside rear and the back door, every time he closes the door the weight of the wheel is shaking the...

Lost out on a stainless steel A nudge bar on ebay but I may have the chance at a soft LR nudge bar with the spot lamps at the side for my '04 TD4. Is it safe for me to assume that the existing wiring loom will have the connections in place for the spotlights? I have the factory fog lights so I...

Short of changing the steering wheel for smaller one, I don't suppose there is any way of getting it to sit a bit higher than at full height adjustment? Being a bit on the tall side, even with the steering wheel at full upwards adjustment it obscures half the dash...

Hi all, I've had a nose through the search but I've probably missed what I was looking for. My lad's 110 was originally military police and had a dual charging circuit (so SVO tell us), the guy he bought it from has done an engine change at some point in it's life as well. My son would like to...

Car is an '04 TD4 HSE, I know it needs a new expansion tank (it's in a disgusting state) which I've found on ebay for about £13 - any tips on how to fit it? Is there any particular antifreeze to use? Last question for now, is this any good -...

Simple question hopefully - will a set of Range Rover Evoque 18" alloys fit on an 05 TD4 HSE? I know it has 17's as standard and I know a bigger wheel needs a slimmer tyre, any advice is welcome.

Evening All, I'm usually lurking on the Freelander forum, but I have a Defender question! My lad has a Defender 110 TD5 special vehicle ops ex military police (so he was told, it has the svo plate), all the door locks have different keys, which is a pain in the backside. Dad (me) buys what were...

Hi All, Newish member, I joined for info on Defenders as my son has just bought one! I've been nosing at Freelanders since, I don't have a huge amount of cash to spend on one (ie about £1000 perhaps a bit more) and I would ideally like a facelift version - yes I'm picky! A 'project' is going to...

Hello All, New member from Staffordshire. I don't actually own a Land Rover, despite wanting one for about 40 years (I'm old!), I failed my car test a long time ago passed my bike test a week later and never bothered with a car test again! My 19 year old son has just bought a 2001 Defender 110...
