    Should the positive wire be hot?

    Hi all I have a TD5 90, from the battery positive to the main fusebox under the driver seat runs a positive cable. This is getting hot at the battery end, virtually too hot to touch. But only for a short amount of time when the ignition is turned, so guessing when the fuel pump is running, glow...

    Pulling to either side under braking!

    Hi guys My TD5 90 seems to be pulling to either side under braking. It was diving quite bad to the left yesterday. But today when double checking it I'm noticing it will also dive to the right. It shocked me a bit how severe to the left! I was braking a bit firm (spirited) but not ridiculous...

    TD5 changing oil level (not specifically rising)

    Hi guys My 10p TD5 is parked in the same spot every day. Always checked when stone cold the day after driving it. I've thought recently that the head has got to come off, due to the engine oil level being 10mm above the max on the dipstick and thinking it's cracked with diesel getting into...

    TD5 Defender clutch pedal getting lower

    Hi guys My TD5 defender has suddenly developed alot of free play on the clutch pedal and the bite is alot lower. I'm convinced the bite gets lower the further the journey but that could be psychological. There's probably more free play than there is clutch action at the pedal at the moment...

    Door alignment closing issue

    Hi guys I'm coming to the end of a slight refurbishment of my defender 90 including door skins and body repair. I'm having an issue with the drivers door after refitting. It's sitting too low so the radius half way up the door isn't in line with the tub. And I've ran out of adjustment on the...

    I browse through ebay on a daily basis, always looking for parts etc for my defender. But there is one seller that has listed virtually every panel for more than one puma defenders. If each panel is undamaged I cant see the reason for breaking the vehicle other than stolen and then stripped...

    Bushes. Checking them

    Hi This may seem an obvious daft question. But unfortunately I don't really know the answer. How do you check your upper and lower shock bushes on the land rover? Take the rear shocks for example, what is actually deemed as worn for upper and lower bushes?? I appreciate if there is alot of up...
