Does anyone know the pin out what controls the Diff lock light on engine loom in the master socket on bulkhead Had to swap my engine loom got all the other connectors going all spot on other than the Diff lock light. We suspect possibly one of the pins are maybe wrong in the new dash bulkhead...

Good morning So after the old EGR wire coming off the third point of the alternator fully melted through my old engine loom I have had to order a new one, it still works fine the loom, but I am worried that long term it has compromised the integrity of it On my model it came with a factory...

Just been in Scotland and last night my engine loom melted. Managed to get to Gretna and decided it wasn’t worth the risk so got it recovered home. The engine loom has completely melted and I am not sure why. We have done heat gasket last weekend so wondering if some wires got disturbed...

My defender had its roof off to repaint a few weeks back. Since getting it back noticed the centre rear break light isn’t working. I have tested the fitting itself with a voltage tester with breaks engaged and the wires and bulb holder are both dead unfortunately, no volts When i was putting...

Hello i have been away in the dales and since being here my 300 has been playing up a bit and struggling to start. Differences from home We are about 1200 foot up on a hill side its also been exceptionally wet constant rain and cold, i put in some diesel from a local garage too, but this is...

So my defender was involved in an accident and it involved a new radiator to be installed. The garage has done an excellent job. However I’ve noticed that the coolant that’s been put in it is red and I’ve heard that red can be very bad for an engine with an aluminium head and it can cause...

I would like to get some Hella Comet 500 spots and i really like the retro type cover it comes with them in black and white. Does anyone know if the lights are okay to be mounted upside down on a defender front A Bar and will the covers also mount correctly so the text is the right away up?

Hi there, Thinking of putting a white roof on my 90 Its had quite a dull finish and since I was out working overseas it got left for a little while and on my return noticed the roof started to micro blister slightly in places in the cold weather. I was thinking of giving it a white roof as I...

Had a bit of a weap on my rear diff pinion seal thought best get that sorted. Got the part and we swapped it out last night. Part number we used was a FTC5258G. However after the replacement the leak is now sadly 10 times worse. This was a pic before replacement after about 6 weeks since I...

Hi All, I am doing some research for a YouTube video I am making as I have noticed some sellers more recently seem to be trying to sell converted hard top vans as genuine CSW's, but in reality are often pretty crudely converted. Obviously, as you do tend to pay a bit of a premium for the...

Noticed my steering box seems to have recently developed a bit of a wet patch on the underside and a slight drip of rusty looking fluid on the floor this morning The black power steering reservoir seems to be full though and at the normal level. Is it worth trying to use some of that stop leak...

Picked up a brand new set of five at billing as I recently discovered that the ones on mine are original KOs (not 2s) dated from late 2002 so are dangerous to use now being 20 plus years old. The ones on right now are 235 85 R16 but the ones I bought are 265 75 16 Am i going to run into any...

So, it was the last fluid to get done on my landy everything else was done last summer. after the oil drained off I noticed this sharp metal edge just on the inside of the drain plug casing anyone ever seen this type of poor casting before? unsure when this oil was last changed, but there...

My diff lock has always been temperamental tbh. When I first got my CSW I don't think it had ever been in low range as it was basically fused into 4WH. My mate freed it up and it now works good in low range. However, the diff lock gear knob was always kind floppy after this. I've never really...

Hi all, Seen a few postings regarding coolant on here, but many of them are over 10 or 12 years old now. Not sure if things have moved on in that time or not? I am going to be flushing my radiator and cooling system in coming weeks and replacing my anti-freeze. I am not entirely sure what I...

So was told by a mate other day that my Intercooler is looking a bit worse for wear, (it definitely looks a bit shabby and tired) I was thinking of replacing it or upgrading it, but tbh I don't know what to go for. The prices seem to vary wildly from about £100 for something like this...

About a month ago I fitted new light surrounds along with the standard Defender side lights (replaced my enlarged NAS spec ones). I have been away in Canada for the last month and just arrived back home before Christmas, so I have not really driven my Defender all too much However, I noticed a...

Good evening all, replacing the old oil pressure sender on my 300, but don’t seem to have a spanner large enough to fit and remove the old one does anyone know what size it is? Some research online has said 22mm, but i wanna be sure before I buy one thanks ryan

We’ve been doing some work on my 90 CSW and it involved taking the two front wheels off. We didn’t at all touch the rear wheels, but since finishing the work and putting wheels on this sound has appeared at the back end or so it sounds like. The drivers side rear wheel seems to make a...

Maybe I’m just being paranoid, Defender never really struggles getting in gear and the clutch isn’t slipping or anything, my gear change is perfectly normal But it seems the free play at the start of the clutch is a bit excessive maybe?? It’s only something I’ve recently picked up on. I’ve...
