Hi All, We recieved some news recently which means we are going to likely need to replace my Defender... But i have no idea where to even start valuing it. Its a 2006 TD5 with approx 115k on the clock. If i compare on Autotrader there are a couple with lower milage, possibly slightly...

Apologies for the probably dumb question... What is the part in the picture with the holes in called? I tried looking for it on lrworkshop but couldnt find it? Easy enough to replace i assume? Looks like 2 bolts...

So today i finally got round to replacing the inner front wing. Thought i would do a post for 3 reasons... 1) it was easily the most complex procedure i have done to date on the defender and i am quite proud. 2) when i was searching i couldnt find anything definitive asnto whether the new...

Looking at getting a replacement inner wing, can anyone confirm whether a 200tdi wing will fit a TD5? Passenger side if that makes a difference... Pete

Hi all, I am preparing for a waxoyl treatment and have foind a bit of a problem... I wasnt really sure what to call this thread as basically i am not sure what the part is called. I have added a picture but it is the part that goes from the rear cross member, back corner of a 90 and connects...

I have had a few problems this winter getting started. Typically it has got to the point that you turn the ignition and get the classic click click click of a flat battery. Sure enough, charge the battery and it fires up. It has been a cold winter... and I have learnt this year that I need...

Not sure if anyone else has air con fitted to their Td5, but I noticed that of the 4 vents, only the centre passenger side seems particularly strong? The others seem to blow cold air but nowhere near the rate of the one that works fully... Its a little annoying as it creates an imbalance of...

i am trying to wire in a mud pod with a couple of gauges in... I have sorted an earth and side light switch for them, but need to find somewhere to take an ignition live from - I.e for power to the volt meter. Is there anything behind the dash I can take it from and run it with the other...

I am looking to fit a boost gauge and a couple of others, and have found a set I like. The boost gauge comes in two forms - one called diesel one not. So I suspect I know the answer already, but wanted to check. The ‘diesel’ one has a range from 0-3 bar whilst the ‘traditional’ goes from -1...

I am looking to wire in approx 200W of spotlights. I have the front fog switch installed within the cab and was hoping to utilise this. I have done the math and 200w at 12v gives 16amps, so I need to pick appropriate cable sizes for that. Following the below diagram, it shows the positive...

When I bought Rory a couple of months back you may recall I posted a thread asking if anybody knew what the quite important looking illuminated red button did on the dashboard... it was pretty inconclusive, and having pressed it whilst driving and it seemingly not doing anything I had pretty...

I bought a gps tracker a few weeks back when I bought my Landy, just in case the worst happens and I went to wire it in this morning... lifted the passenger seat and the battery compartment lid, what the hell is that... Fixed in what space is left is a subwoofer... I thought the sound system...

So I located the worst of my leaks this morning, seems I am missing a snorkel fixing and there is basically just a hole in my body work straight into the cab... Can you buy the fixings and gaskets anywhere? Or does anybody have an old one? I can only seem to find the entire snorkel... although...

So, fitting the new interior light has led to a new problem, in that it seems my alarm and immobiliser might not be working. Here’s what I know... 1) Door switches are all good, removed them and tested. 2) No lights come on when I unlock the car - I know the lights go through the AC10 before...

So I fitted a new interior light today, works a treat so that’s all good... but I did notice whilst I was doing it, there was a random black wire up there, no idea what it was for, it didn’t have a spade on at all... incidentally the lights don’t come on when the doors are open, not sure if the...

Was sat in the back of the car this morning and noticed that the rear door central locking isn’t working properly. It locks perfectly every time, but when I press unlock it is generally only moving the little latch on the inside about 2/3 of the way it needs to to unlock it. By the latch I...

Sorry to start another thread! I managed to locate my leak this morning, it seems to be coming through the drivers side door at the bend in the seal, looks like the seal has seen better days - see pic. Anyway, can someone point me in the direction of the part number for this seal? I had a...

The interior of my defender is in pretty good shape but one thing that bugs me is there is no carpet in the drivers footwell. I have found various places that do the Premium Carpet Set for approx £175, but all I am really after is the piece for the two footwells as per this link...

Picked up my Defender 90 yesterday, 2006, leather heated interior, silver, big red button on the dash that I have no idea what it does, really smart. Absolutely loved it from the minute I saw it. Picked it up in Chester and had a 125 mile motorway trip back to the Lake District, an...
