Factory fitted original. Came from my 2004 TD5 Defender. Comes with fixing bolts. I've removed one really small section of the guard (very top of passenger side) to allow longer lengths of pipe/wood to pass through it. See pic. Pick up only in Glasgow area. £40.

Hi, I was about due for a new fuel filter housing so I got my mechanic to do it when in for MOT today. The old ones had bolts and top end of housing totally rotted. I've had to purge system twice since I got it back - first time I assumed garage hadn't done it properly so I did it and went for...

Had a lot of play in the steering recently and took it to my local trusted mechanic who has recommended a full replacement of the front O/S swivel assembly. He gave me a list of parts that I will need but it turns out that you can get a kit from several different manufacturers. Are any of them...

Hi there, my rear exhaust bracket (the one as soon as you come out the back box) isn't hanging by too much. Firstly, is this a generic bracket and where can they be bought from? Secondly, my friend has just started learning to weld (he's practicing doing new rollers etc on a boat trailer using...

Hi guys. My Td5 Defender exhibited the symptoms of a failing fuel pump during the week, really struggling to accelerate at points, flat spots etc. Got back the place we were staying (on holiday) and changed the fuel filter incase that was causing it. Made sure I filled filter up with diesel...

Hi, had my defender for 6-7 years now and i've noticed the rust get worse but very slowly where the side panel meets the top of the rear tub. I'm guessing it's down the steel bolts meeting the aluminium panels. Anyways, I'm now getting a wee bit of water ingression and would like to halt it in...

Can I gauge the opinion of people who have done this before. Basically, mine is shot, and I really should have fixed it before now. I was just wondering if I were to buy a new one off the shelf, will the 4 valves all be in the right order to just do a straight swap over? Are they threaded or...

Hi, whilst waiting for other parts to arrive, I started to tart up the front of my landy with a new bumper and dying the grille and light surrounds. I took the rubber caps off the bumper mount and inevitably, I've lost them:rolleyes: So, here is a picture of the bits I need to miraculously find...

Hi, having used one of the guides on here for removing the dash (thanks!) my dying wiper motor has now sprung back to life. Heres the background: 2 weeks ago my wipers seemed VERY slow when I used them for 1 pass to clear a few drops of rain, I never thought anything more of it. A week later...

Hi, wondering if this is fixable. Defender 90, electric windows. 2004 TD5 No cracks on card, the door button is extremely shoogly though. Some of the yellow fixings have snapped off, and the ones that are intact, the corresponding black screw has sheared. Any tips for getting the whole...

Hi, taking a journey here this week, but I'm not 100% sure of the location. Has anyone been there and is this the correct spot? thanks!

Hi, not being comfortable taking the top of my engine off myself and pulling the injectors out, I'm probably going to get somewhere local to do it and replace the seals on my injectors, as long as there's a very good chance that's whats actually needing done. Its a 2004, TD5 defender, 67000...

Hi, I'm looking to get my injector seals done. Does anyone know of a good indy garage in Glasgow who will have experience of this job? Thanks!

Hi there. Been having a few issues with starting recently and having done a search it seems it may be caused by either air in the fuel lines, dodgy glow plugs or oil in the injector harness. A brief bit of history about my TD5 (defender). Has had a new (OEM) fuel pump fitted 2 years ago...

hi guys, had a lot of difficulty changing gears last week, clutch pedal was erratic (one minute there was pressure, 10 minutes later goes limp, then worked again). going by the threads on here, i ended up getting the local mechanic to change both the master and slave cylinders. picked it...

hi guys. attached are some photos of what im assuming is the fuel filter housing at the off side rear of my defender. noticed a smell of fuel yesterday, and today catch a glimpse of a few drops of fuel falling from the bottom of this housing once i'd switched the engine off. i only got the...

hi guys. seen various ways of doing it but its all dependant on what kind of sills etc you've got. i dont have sills but the defender came with one of those hi-lift jacks, which im not too keen on using. i guess im looking at a trolley jack, but whereabouts are the jacking points??:)

hi everyone. after having browsed this great forum for the past few months, i thought it was only right that I join now that i've finally got myself my new toy:D im based just north of glasgow. took my time and settled on a 2004 TD5 county. had her almost a week now, and im as pleased as...
