Hi, looking for some advice. Defender 110 TD5 broke down the other week. noticed smoke blowing out the engine on the motorway so pulled over immediately. RAC come out and the front camshaft seal had blown out completely and emptied the oil all over the engine. They couldn’t fix it and towed it...

Cheers, wasn’t sure to grommet it or somehow attempt to fill it, as it’s off for a full chassis seal soon.

Hi, removed the rear bench seats out of my 110 station wagon today and was wondering what was the best way to fill all the existing holes in the body from the fixings. cheers

Current set up is completely factory standard regarding suspension. Gary from Alive tuning done the remap, completely changed the drive!

Next major upgrade I’m looking at doing to my 110 TD5 is upgrading the wheels/tyres & suspension. I was thinking of swapping the 18” boost wheels it had fitted when purchased, to some 16” with some chunky tyres. Something like in the photo I’ve attached below. What maximum or recommended sizes...

Ah mine produces barely any smoke what’s so ever... (thankfully) Did Gary from alive do yours? That’s ****e service if the dealer wouldn’t do anything about it.

Alive tuning done my remap after, they had a local dealer in Cardiff, so it was the only highly advised one close to me. The results was superb, highly recommend a remap! Does a VNT/Hybird turbo make much more of an impact after the remap? Might look into one next... seen Alive tuning had a TD5...

I’ve ordered two Cree spotlights to put up high, going to wire them into the reverse feed but with a switch on the dash. Cheers for the advice gentlemen

It’ll be mainly just for reversing, so would you say one or 2 high mounts either side fitted on the guttering is better or just one above the number plate maybe? I’ve seen these lights/fitting below in the photos. Also did you find it best wired straight into the reverse feed or better to have...

Looking to fit a rear led light, mainly to be used to help when reversing. Anyone have any advise on any decent ones or best position? Seen everything from ones that mount on the rear number plate light, to cheap eBay ones to mount on the guttering... cheers

I’m Going to order some new bezels & headlight surrounds, I’ll try have a play around with them to see if it that helps a bit... I think they are just generally bright though. Most of these new cars with neon headlights are so dazzling though...

I fitted these headlights with WIPAC led side light kit from Getoffroad, lights all around are much improved. But I constantly get people flashing me with the headlights dipped.

I ordered it an hour ago & they’ve already texted to say it’ll be here by tomorrow, now that is good service!

I spoke to Raptor and they said I’ll need the same as you’ve got there Bankz. So I’ve ordered the TD5 Fascia & dash mount in silver. I liked the idea of the other dashes where you could customise them to add in what switches you wanted (such as ejector seat & rockets) but they said it wouldn’t...

Interested to hear any feedback and photos that anyone has on the raptor dash consoles they have fitted? My flip up style radio has just packed & it’s under warranty so Amazon have just refunded me. So I’m now thinking about fitting a double din style radio. I’ve seen Mud Stuff have just...

I’ve already purchased a defenderdefender tracker, just haven’t got round to installing it yet... Yeah, I’ll ask around some local mechanics for any decent alarm fitters. Just wanted to check that sensors didn’t set off when a cat run past or the wind blew the wrong way o_O Cheers for the help!

Ah glad to hear you rate the Clifford system and that the proximity sensors aren’t too temperamental. Twice there’s been someone on our driveway in the nights recently so that could be helpful! What system did you have? The 650 MK2? The person I spoke to said they paid about 500 installed, but...

The alarm on my TD5 is pretty much naffed, so was looking at getting a new & improved one fitted. Any recommendations? Spoke to someone who had a Clifford 650 mk2 fitted on his defender and said it was pretty decent, built in proximity sensors though which could be a nightmare! cheers

Just to say I’ve just had my Defender TD5 remapped by Gary from Alive tuning. It was plugged in at one of their dealers, Promec 4x4 in Cardiff. It’s absolutely transformed the drive, unbelievable difference. Promec garage was superb service. So anyone interested in getting a remap I’d highly...

They looking cracking, and much cheaper!
