Yes this is a good point. It's a it of a balancing act between needing as much as i can for a house deposit yet also shifting it before i need to put that deposit down :rolleyes:

Thanks everyone for replies. Yes that's the correct ad. The wheel nuts were on a set of steels I put on the day before it's MOT - they were just very slightly chamfered nuts, not the stupid LR stock ones which are on now, and yes I did put all the back ones on back to front ✔️ As regards the...

Not sure if this is the right place to post - mods feel free to move as required. So sadly I am having to sell my TD5 90 (needing a deposit for a house) and I was hoping that if priced right this would be the proverbial piece of p*ss. So, i have it listed in a few places (autotrader, LR...

Thanks Tim. On starting the car this morning the warning light was gone so must have been very negligible amounts. Will bear your suggestion in mind though.

Hi Everyone. TD5 90 '52 plate. I gave It a quick wash today and was maybe a bit cavalier with the jet wash around the fuel cap recess. When I moved it back to it's position In the drive from the back, the 'water in the fuel tank' warning light came on. However as I drove it about 100 yards, the...

All sorted thankfully. Just took off and scrubbed up the main connection points and it's working fine again now, must have just been gunked up. Thanks for the help.

Hi.yes that did cross my mind.i know some cars are notoriously difficult/impossible though. We once spent an entire Saturday lurching up and down our drive in a f**d transit only to find it's completely impossible. Gave us some exercise pushing it though

Thanks Miktdish. I'm not by the car now (I had to leave it at work and get a lift home) but I will take a look at that tomorrow. The fact that it was absolutely fine until this afternoon makes me think it must be something like that.

Hi nielly. No it's not - a faint hiss/whirr from the centre somewhere but that's it. Doesn't sound like any attempt from the starter. Couldn't bump start it either.

90, Td5, '52 plate.

Hi Miktdish Electrics work, headlights work, lights on dash etc. TD5 Edit: started absolutely fine this morning...just was turned off for 10hrs while sat in car park. Then wouldn't start again.

Ok second post on here. Jumped in the landy after work today, turned the key and...nothing. the starter isn't turning at all.b Can't jump or bump start - have tried using a trickle charger for a couple of hours too and still no joy. Am I missing anything obvious? It's my first landy so quite...

Mines a general grabber on 16in boost so maybe on the lighter side? Interesting idea to mount on centre bulkhead. Might help stop the bumping noise...

Thanks Doriz. I think it'll have to be that.

Hi Giys. First Post omn here so hello... Defender 90, 52 plate TD5 What is people's thoughts about the rear door mounted spare wheel. I've heard tell that greenlaning plus weight of wheel can warp the door. Also the noise is pretty, well, noisy. Even for a defender. DUKADUNKADUNKADUNKADUNK...
