Found an old thread from 2013 on this matter but figured it would be better to post anew rather than add to the old one! Anyway, I had the same problem with my 54 plate TD5 90 - intermittent (very) failure to start with the tell-tale 'no glow-pug or ECU lights' and the temperature gauge...

I used a BritParts kits last time but I know many on the Zone have a view on the quality of BritParts parts - any advice on the best alternatives?

The tab has pretty much failed at the join to the crossmember (despite there being no signs of rust anywhere) - it's not all the way through yet, but there's enough movement to allow other parts of the exhaust system to rattle on the chassis. I fear that welding a replacement tab may be the...

Found a number of posts relating to central locking but none that quite matched the problem my 90 S/W has so hopefully I'm not going over old ground here. The central locking on the rear door has never worked in the time I have had the Landy and I finally got round to taking the door card off...

Hello all - posted on this yesterday but the post was way too long..so short and snappy this time. I get this fault code on Evo (Defender TD5 90) - any advice on what it means would be gratefully received. Thanks!

Hello all - after a 6 week break, went to start my TD5 90. Battery was flat..re-charged and it's holding its volts OK. Lady still would not start - repeat of the old 'temp gauge to max, no glowplug or ECU light' issue despite having the injector end of the loom replaced 9 months ago. Cleaned...

Hello all - my TD5 90 first started to fail to start (if that makes sense!) a few months back. Based on posts on the Zone, the earth connections to the transfer box were cleaned and re-fitted with a covering of vaseline. The front end of the injector loom was also replaced as the red connector...

Hello all - went out this morning to do what I stupidly assumed would be a quick job on my 54 plate TD5 90...changing the steering wheel (Heritage 1948 wooden wheel was an early present from Santa). I watched the Rimmer video to be sure that the job was as simple as it usually is - but as...

Hello all - in order to try to cure a whistle on over-run, I freed up the wastegate and fitted a new actuator (from LR Centre). The pressure feed pipe on the new actuator was somewhat larger than the original and getting the rubber tube back on required some bad language but my question is...

Hello all - MOT was due last week and as I am currently unable to work on the Landy myself, had it serviced (and top end of injector loom replaced) at the same time. It failed the MOT on brakes so had a new servo fitted. Drove it today and there is an audible transient whistle on the over-run...

Hello all - am about to start changing all lights to LEDs but don't have a lot of time to complete the job (which should not take long I know I know!) so need to avoid chasing the indicator relay. From a couple of other threads, it looks like the relay position on post 2020 Defenders is not...

Hello all - I bought my TD5 90 in between lockdowns last year so it's only in the last couple of weeks that I've been able to drive any distance and really get to know it. In amongst the usual symphony of Landy music there is a consistent transient vibration/thrumming that appears between 35...

Has anyone tried the ALLI Sport kit for late TD5's (ie where you do not need to remove the pipework all the way back at the exhaust manifold but blank it off at the heat exchanger connection)? My luck is such that I'll break one or both of the studs on the manifold so am reluctant to use one of...

Hello all - contemplating braving the sub-zero temperatures and getting on with fitting a tracker. I know that the 'correct' solution is to plumb it to the fusebox (my Dad was an electrical engineer...and a purist), but how about using the permanent live feed to the radio as an easier route...

Have used the forum a few times already (thanks to those that replied) but now realise that an introduction would have been an appropriate first step! Recently moved to Dorset and acquired a 54 plate TD5 Defender 90 S/W with 85K on the clock - had classic sportscars earlier in life but have...

Hello all - does anyone know if the nuts for the bolts on the inboard seat belt attachments are captive or if doing anything with them will require the wife to get under the Landy?

A belated Merry Christmas everyone! As a New Year project I am contemplating changing the shocks on my recently acquired TD5 to try to reduce the rock and roll - but I have precisely 1.5 inches of clearance above the Landy and the garage door frame so don't want the ride height to increase...

Hello all - I'm new to Landyzone having recently scratched a long-standing itch and acquired a 2004 Defender 90 TD5. Trying to work out which jack to buy for using in the workshop as an alternative to the hi-lift (in order to get the Landy onto axle stands of course!). Feels like the lift on a...
