I've seen the MUD site that sells blanks for the centre console but I need the panels around the steering wheel replacing,particularly the panel for the ignition and underneath the steering wheel which is loose and scrapes everytime I move the steering wheel. Also the panel that retains the...

I've been inspecting the breather valves and it says in the Haynes manual that if it's a ball type breather,you have to check the ball. There doesn't seem to be any way of getting into it to see. I've poked out all the crap and DW'd it but I cant blow through it or anything. Is that because its...

Do many people here have breather tubes permanently attatched to their axles etc.? I was wondering becouse it's always flooding around here at this time of year and I also end up in a lot of mud baths. It's the really nasty,clay mud thats slippery. You only have to park a 2 wheel drive on what...

Cant find em. I'm using the ratchety,cranky jack that I assume comes with the vehicle.It's a J reg and I've used the ones on the front-under the bumper that fits the jack nicely-the tube end of the jack goes into the hole-but there doesnt seem to be any in the back. I can see what I thought was...

I was looking at the brochure for the latest incarnation of the Defender and I was kind of dissapointed,particularly at the lack of seating. One of the reasons I got my particular model was becouse you could carry people and/or stuff in the back as the bench seats dont really take up storage...

Whats it mean? Didnt mention it in the hand book and I tried googling it. I went through a shallow ford and then the engine cut out. I assume I went through too fast in too lower revs but the 24v light was flickering for a while when the engine was running again. There was a small amount of...

So when I fill her up,do I have to flip the lever to fill the side tank up aswell or does the main tank overspill into it?

I'm new to all things mechanical so I've never had to find parts as I've always just left it to the dealership to sort out. How do you know what you're getting if you get second hand parts or is it better just to buy new? I'm planning on getting a replacement steering box but 700 quid seems a...

And I'm still grinning. Took the family on to the Thetford forest byway. The kids were in the back getting thrown about and shrieking with excitement and the missus who was fairly neutral about the idea now seems to be hooked on the concept and was looking at byways around Britain on the interwb...

I thought I'd have a go at taking apart my headlamps so I know what to do when I buy some bulbs. According to the owners manual,the whole thing comes apart and you can take out the bulb. The lamp on mine however is just one completely sealed piece of glass with the bulb inside it and the points...

Finally took possession of my 110 and have been trying to look around it in the dark cos I cant wit until morning. I was fumbling around with the rear work lamp and found a switch on the back of the lamp which I assume is the on/off switch. I had the electrics on but the lamp didnt work. Is...

I've never tried to look at the underneath of a vehicle before so what do I use to look underneath? Do I use wheel ramps? Jacks? Or are jacks only for wheel maintenance? Is there enough clearance under a Defender to be able to go under on a trolley? I assume I need some kind of inspection lamp too.

Hey all. I'm about to buy my first Defender at the end of the week second hand. I know nothing whatsoever about cars or engines and I usually just let my local Hyundi dealership deal with any problems so I want to learn about maintenance,engines etc. by using the Landy as a learning curve. A...
