Gave it a big hug… like I do every day!

Isn’t everything these days‽‽?

That could work!

I’ve tried that; works well

Robbery!

I would have liked to do that, but it’s a bit more complicated!!🤪

Anybody know what these are, situated just behind the steering fluid res. on the o/s wing on my 54 reg td5 defender? One of them was buzzing when I had turned the engine off and ignition off!!??

**Fixed!!** I originally got underneath and with WD40 to encourage it, I manually flicked the switch on top of the T.box which enabled me to use the lever to select/ deselect diff lock. However this was inconsistent and still didn’t feel like a positive switching motion. Furthermore, the diff...

I’ve also just read that the pivot (attached to the gear box) is adjustable; by making it longer it produces more movement at the bottom of the lever, thus pushing the switch further.... I might try that!

With that in mind, I might look at replacing the linkage mechanism then, thanks.

BF Goodrich AT KO2 265/75/r16 with good tread. I’m sure it wasn’t the tyres letting me down as after all, it did make it up the field, just not as effortlessly as it should. But considering diff lock was not engaged, the tyres and ETC did good.

I recently had to climb a long icy steep grass field which I was surprised when the Defender struggled to find grip. My first suspicion was that although I had selected (centre) diff lock, it didn’t seem that it had engaged. Later on flat ground I tested this theory: jacked up one wheel...

There’s a rather frustrating issue with an electrical connection on the starter motor on my Td5: Most of the time all is fine and it starts like a dream. Once in a while ( very rarely at the moment luckily) I turn the key an .....nothing. A while ago I found the issue. There is a very thin black...

The profile picture was taken in a Ford in Kingston Deverill in Wiltshire. Map attached!

I was just being a numpty! Didn’t look properly and just using door mirrors because of obstructions in load bay. I can only blame myself; not the spare wheel’s fault!

Reversed into a tree! ... Made a hell of a mess of the rear door (aluminium folds in like cheese).

Thanks, that’s helpful. I’ll double check I’ve got the right clips and try the hot water trick.

Hi Has anyone got any advise/ tips? On fitting my new dash cam to my defender I ran the wire for the rear camera inside the roof lining, just inside the driver’s door. On loosening the Lining I broke both of the grey “for tree” clips -they had both become very brittle- I managed to get the...
