    Strange Start Up Noise - TD5

    Admittedly I'm listening on ****ty laptop speakers, but I don't hear anything in that video that I don't hear on my own Td5. Will listen again a bit louder when my boss has gone for lunch!

    Squeaky clutch pedal

    Have you looked for a mouse living in the footwell?

    Well, I never .......

    I was offered these for my 90 ("it's cold enough where you live that you'll need them"). Nope, it's cold enough where I live that we don't get wet snow, the dry stuff just brushes off (or blows off at a certain speed). I imagine those things would turn the dry snow into soggy wet snow thereby...

    TD5 Fuel guage problems

    Mine reads full every time I leave the garage forecourt, then slowly reads less and less the more that I drive it. I found I could fix the problem by going back to a petrol station (any one will work) and filling the tank with diesel. Hope this helps.

    Thoughts on my potential first Landy (90)

    My only concern is that you say you are 'the house's designated driver'. Is that your own choice or with the help of some persuasion from your housemates? If you want a Landy because that's what you want to drive, then knock yerself out - you and you friends will have smiles for miles! But if...

    Test drive

    Admittedly I have never been to Hull, so not necessarily colder, no :)

    Test drive

    I live in the Canadian Arctic. Trust me, I know what it's like to be cold :)

    Test drive

    But you can put on another layer and drive around with a big **** eatin' grin all day long :)

    Starting issues

    If changing the starter and the wee tab then the battery all fixed the problem (albeit temporarily), my money would be on a electrical issue rather an injectors. It will be interesting to see what a Nanocom says.

    2.25 petrol rough idle

    Not much relevance to LRs, but a good running out of fuel story nonetheless...was heading south on the ice roads (ice road truckers) and had only just come off the last lake back onto the all season road that runs the last 70kms into Yellowknife when I ran out of fuel. Gauge showed that I had...

    200/300TDI exhaust brake?

    I think it's a great idea. They make pick-ups with exhaust brakes now so in theory it would be possible. Not sure about the stresses it would put on an engine - or how you'd find out what it would/wouldn't do to a 200Tdi for that matter. Good luck, and I too would love to hear how it goes if you...

    TD5 Turbo whistle

    Mine whistles since I deleted the EGR. Was a little disconcerting at first, but I don't mind it now.

    TD5 Defender fault code reader/diagnostic tool reccommendations

    I've only ever used a Nancom, but I couldn't wish for anything more. Great piece of kit.

    Theft Deterrent- 300TDI 90

    Feckers. Can you call yourself a true Land Roverist if you steal one from someone else?

    Theft Deterrent- 300TDI 90

    I don't know if it's of much help in the UK, but here in North America where only very few people know how to drive a manual I would think that leaving the transfer box in neutral would likely be quite effective.

    Leak from underneath defender 90

    Anything else to worry about in terms of reliability? How long have you got?! (But it's all part of the experience ;))

    Leak from underneath defender 90

    This is an important consideration when purchasing a vehicle. Who wants to drive around in something that you feel you have to be so protective of that you can't even enjoy it?

    Leak from underneath defender 90

    And I'm guessing the uninflated half is the bottom half? I'm that good that I can tell without even seeing it.

    Leak from underneath defender 90

    I have a photo somewhere....in South Africa in '91 we were trying to undo a 47mm bolt on a set of discs. All the heat and persuadin' we could offer didn't budge it, so with a combination spanner the ring end went on the offending bolt and the tooth on the bucket of a JCB backhoe went into the...

    Theft Deterrent- 300TDI 90

    I'm in this camp. If someone is going to break into my car and steal something (around here it would be low-lifes looking for loose change to go toward their next fix), I'd rather they didn't break a window to do it. If I leave something expensive and obvious in the car that's on me. There are...
