Been having some problems with my 2004 TD5 Defender (never got it resolved from last year) - if it is left standing for more than 5 days the battery doesn't seem to have enough power to successfully crank the engine over and start up. Took the following readings with a multimeter: Reading...

Hi, hoping someone can give some advice on this (and yes I know it should probably be in the 'common faults' forum but I don't seem to have access?).... My 2004 90 TD5 XS has 55k on the clock and recently it's got a habit of running the battery flat! It's fine if I use it every couple of...

Had the TD5 90 remapped at JE Engineering + a EGR valve blanking. Just opted for the stage 1 tune and now had around 170bhp and loads of torque - still doesn't drive like a sports car (what do you really expect) but much more responsive! Would recommend to anyone!!!!

Thanks for the advice - I'll give it a go if/when I get stuck and let you know if anything breaks :(

Hi Just wondered if anyone has any good ideas for green lanes in Norfolk or Suffolk? Also, planning a trip to the Kings Forest area just south of Thetford - anyone been to this area before and have any tips? Thanks

I recently purchased a 2004 Defender 90 and it was already fitted with a tubular front bumper, including a couple of swivel recovery eyes. Think it is the same as the 'SHADOW' - see attached link.... Defender Tubular HD Bumper Air-Con + A Bar & Swivel Recovery Eyes Is there any way of...
