Hi everyone, My Defender 90 Td5 is in need of some new gearbox/transfer box mounts (KQB500550 and KQB500560) as I have noticed one of them is split and there are excessive vibrations above roughly 2500rpm. I've just fitted new, genuine engine mounts as the old ones were well past their best...

Hi everyone, bit of a long one, but I wanted to include as much detail as I can. I've recently been having some issues with my 03 Defender Td5, where my battery warning light has been appearing intermittently. The first time it happened, it came on for about 10 seconds, and then went out for...

Hi everyone, I have a 2003 Defender 90 Td5 and have noticed that the temperature gauge isn't really rising that much. I did a 3-4 hour motorway drive and the needle was about 1/3 of the way up, but in 20-30 minute drives where speeds are about 30mph, the gauge is still in the blue. I noticed...
