Anybody got a decent radiator for a 2.5TD lying around? Maybe from a vehicle they have converted to a TDI? All the ones I can find new are $$$$$$$. Needs to have the oil cooler built in. Cheers James

Just completed a complete strip down and rebuild of my 2.5TD engine. Hear went to turner engineering to be done, and did the bottom end, and timing belt myself. Just finally got it all back together, and although two cylinders was initially down on compression a bit (you could hear it as I...

I can't get the front pulley of my 19j. I'm told it is right hand thread (i.e. anti clockwise to undo). Is this correct? I've got the sump off to redo the rings and have a bit of 2x3 wedged to stop the crank turning, and even with a 4 foot bar on the socket, and 10 mins of the blow torch on the...

So after having my rear cross member replaced a few years ago, I have decided to refit the rear mud flaps - this is mainly because we are moving the business up market a bit more and I'm trying to spruce up the landy a bit - new cylinder head to stop the smoke, outside quick respray, alloy...

After many years my TD is now dying - I've kept it going this long but the frequency of it being carried back on the back of a tow truck is now getting silly, and its slowly loosing power, not revving as well as it did and sounding rough, and a pain in the arse to start up - This demise may have...

I've had an after market rear door on the landy from some time after the oringinal rotted away. I've also just purchased a rear wiper motor, and the wiring off ebay, and i'm planning on fitting this to the door. The wiring loom bit is easy as it all seems to be plug and play, and will also allow...

I've just picked up 'new' set of front doors for a well known dealers in Cannock and got a very good deal on them - mainly because on of them was already painted day glow green but got returned as the wrong door was supplied - I'd love to know who it was that actually has their defender that...

Hi Guys My 90 original a pickup, was then converted to a van and then to a SW by myself! The new rear door I have fitted is going to have a rear wiper fitted, and when i got it it already had the switch in situ in the front for some reason. I have the manual and the wiring diagram all looks...

Finally getting around to having my defender resprayed as the previous owner did a really rubbish job and to be honest if I don't do it now i'm going to be paying a huge amount more as the rot sets in. Anyway all the dents are scratches have been filled and sanded down, and all that's left to do...

So after having a big flight case on wheels come unsecured in the back of the landy and go flying into the rear door and hitting the locking tag on the lock, the pegs on the locking swivel inside the rear door lock have been smashed into bits! I have one of the old style locks from circa 85-86...

Right - i'm off to Germany next week, and as i'm goig to be passing very close to the 'ring' I am temped to take the landy round! I was just wondering if anybody else has done this as I know all sorts of things go round all the time (including coaches, and 3 wheelers) And the next obvious...

Managed to get hold of a reasonably cheap set of door cards to replace the showed up ones I have already. The newer ones are gray while the older ones were black. The newer ones (salvaged not after market) seem to have a slightly different profile down the rear of the door. Is this normal? Or...

Well been away for a few days after causing chaos in a block of flats after I managed to revers into one of the main supporting pillars in the underground carpark. A small dent occured to the rear over riders, however the pillar with 5 floors of flats ontop was slightly more damaged! Anyway...

Was heading to southend today when the TD decied to suddently turn into a rocket! I thought i'd spend a few days giving it a good service (changing fuel filters, oil etc etc, but was not expecting this. It was cursing at over 80mph all they way, and accelerating past this going UP a hill...

If anybody gets offered a mud flap and the securing bracket to the rear x-member please let me know as some theiving bast*ard decided to un bolt my near side one last night... Mind you i think the rear looks better without them?

Just wondering if anybody has a spare cover for a 86TD clutch fluid resevior, as mine seems to have come off and gone - Dont realy want to fit a new cylinder if i can help it as it has a netal tank and the new ones seem to be plastic - so you can see the level of fluid i'm told

Since purchasing the landy the screen washers have never worked properly, and i have always had to convince the MOT tester that they work (last year i checked some water on the screen while he was at the other end of the garage getting a light, and then when he came back told him i had fixed it...

For reasons that will remain my own (see later on) i want to fit four infra red lights to the front of my Landy, two above and two below the front bumper, quite central (like above and below where your winch would go(or maybe your number plate)) But this got me thinking as ANPR and time...

Was driving through town in my new model mini (which is not the slowest car in the world), and had a TD5 disco pull up along side at the lights. I was having difficulty keeping up with him off the lights. Is this normal for this engine, or has he fitted a RR Merlin into it????? Obviously...
