Morning all, I have owned a defender for the last year which has given me no end of problems, and the other night it spontaniously combusted whilst i was asleep :( Therefore i'm now thinking of getting myself a range rover for a bit more luxury and speed. My budget is 3k max. Anyone got any...

Couldn't believe it!! Got home at about 12.30am the other night, turned it off as usual and went to bed. At about 2-30am my sister woke me up because she could hear my car trying to start so she thought someone was trying to pike it! So i looked out my window and the there was big old flames...

Anyone know if a complete td5 exhaust would fit onto a 1987 defender with a 200tdi? im guessing you would have to alter it slightly where it meets the engine, but would the rest be suitable? cheeers

:mad: day by day my steering has been getting worse, but just went for a drive and now it feels ridiculously dodgey. It feels loose, and when going at speed its as if the car keeps steering itself left and right which i constantly have to correct. Its got to the point where i don't think i...

Hi, I have a 1987 Defender 2.5td and recently have noticed a rumbling from the underside whilst at speeds of around 40mph+, it seems to be most obvious at the bottom end of 5th gear. Also the noise inside the cab is noticeably louder. I am not in any way mechanically minded but it seems like it...

Hi there, I'm a novice when it comes to the technical side of Land Rovers so your going to have to bear with me. Basically I have a 1987 Defender 2.5td on which the clutch is very stiff (even for a Defender) and gear changes difficult. So I have taken it to someone to sort it out. He has looked...

I am currently designing a platform for my A level Design Coursework which can be attached to the rear of a land rover defender in order to carry items, act as a portable work bench and which can be used for shooting from. The platform will sit just below the level of the rear door and be...
