.....that is the question.... VIN search brings up ABS pipework, but I have never spotted any ABS actuator unit under the bonnet...hmmmm? No access to the beast at present or I would of course have a look o_O Were such fairly early TD5 s built some with some without maybe? You experts bound...

sadly no search function working... 2000 110 CSW TD5 Front o/s chassis rail under servo has valve in brake lines. V rusty (but no apparent effect on braking). Is this a ‘brake bias valve’? Is it serviceable? If not is this correct description and any highly recommended source for new one...

My originals (y2000, 224000 miles....) are definitely 'squishy' while replacing turbo.... Search shows nothing recent - any recommendations for good quality replacement, ideally as a set, and ideally not OTT shiny blue/red luminous (unless that is a sign of good quality of course....:D). I...

I'm sure there was a recent thread that veered/hijacked into this, but can't find it. Anyhoo - approaching MOT and some play in at least one ball-joint so looking into the work to do that, and someone (on that thread I can't find...) mentioned its not much more just to replace. Certainly at...

At 220000 miles my 2000 TD5 CSW has a 'spray' of oil on the rad grille in front of the intercooler........seems likely to be a pin hole leak? Seems generally a bit short of turbo grunt of late so need to rule out lost pressure here and work backwards to the turbo eventually I suspect. So, you...

Got the chance of a decent new door (old ones are falling apart in turn of course on the X plate 110 CSW). Can't imagine the shape/spec has changed much - any reason why it wouldn't be a straight swap, and what about the door card/window/lock mechanism....? Searched but no obvious answer -...

Had an estimate for 110 'about 500 fitted' - now gone to '750 plus VAT' ..... Taking the wotsit, or about right...? Cheers, A

Darnit ..... Defender td5, X reg, 220,000 mls... Had a new AMC head at about 140k, but for at least a year I've regularly had to top up the coolant, white/pink deposits round the filler cap and some of the hose joints....and quite 'rigid' hoses. Hmmmm Now I've got a mystery drip under...

Bah! td5 110 csw 7.00 M5 Taunton 60mph .... pop, brrrr brrrr brrrrr - at least hid under a bridge to get family out of the rain! No drive at all, just grumbly buzzing noises from the rear diff. Relay home - good service from the AA, but still 3.30 am when we got in. Can get drive with diff...

Well that's a turn up - most threads are about not starting!! Its an X reg TD5 110 CSW Pulled up this evening, with the side lights left on as it was on the road, and switched off the ignition, with no effect whatever.... engine just kept going! Turned off lights tried again, no difference...

Had an 'overboost' problem for some time now on 2000 110 TD5, injector cut-out and limp mode if I forgot and floored it.....:( Anyway - managed to knock the turbo heat shield off its pop-rivets when I did the radiator last weekend (don't ask......), so thought I'd get stuck into the wastegate...

Aaargh! Search doesn't seem to answer this. X reg 110 TD5 CSW Decided to whip off the long-overdue fuel filter under the o/s rear wheel arch (having failed to replace transfer box oil seal but that's another story...) and it simply will not unscrew - top surface is rusted to bu**ery...

I have searched - a few results but quite old info I fear....so be nice to me.... Took the rad cowl off to replace belt tensioner (failed - but that's another story due to lack of spanner big enough for viscous fan nut...) and found the source of coolant smell and perpetual top-ups..... red...

Just to get it off my chest really, but might be illuminating for others as innocent as me..... Chirpy noise from front left hub I thought (with bit of clunk changing from forwards to reverse) so bought wheel bearings as first idea.... Of course while I'm in there I'll need to put in those...

..... best description I can come up with!! Defender CSW X reg TD5 190k - when you start up (seems particularly cold damp mornings, which is why its bugging me again) on tickover this dupp dupp dupp from the air intake on the rh wing, really noticeable as I walk past to close the gate in the...

I've scanned previous threads, but not found answer to this one. I'm guessing the 1/4 inch or more I can lift the drag link up away from the drop arm ball joint is not good...... I have a repair kit, but facing the drop arm removal nightmare I see that my X reg 110 County drop arm has a...

While investigating flickering handbrake light (with no success, but that can wait...) I realised I have not seen the oil warning light come on with the ignition for a 'while'....... Defender td5 2000 vintage. Stripped the dash to see what size bulb it was ..... Doh! Mega pcb with LED's ...

Some great detective work by a good friend (cheers Bill!) shows turbo up to 240.8 Kpa - and seems explanation for 'stutter' as ecu goes into safe mode....... Suspect pressure unit, wastegate rod or connecting hose - will strip off tomorrow with luck. Anyhow, Haynes say pressure unit not...

Very irregular visitor here, so hello again.... 2000 TD5 110 CSW 175k, driving round Reading Friday and suddenly horrible deep rumble/grind under power esp pulling from about 30 in 4th. Can drive past it in 3rd to 35+ then tease it in 4th through to little rumble above that. Found that with...

I see Turners no longer make their own td5 cyclinder heads - they import them from a 'Spanish supplier'. The price is down a bit, but no longer comes with new fuel regulator fitted nor bolts, so probably more expensive....! Anyone any experience or views on this development? I need a...
