I have 0.33A (330mA) current measured against Fuse No. 5 in the fuse box under the drivers seat, this is causing the battery to slowly drain over a number of days. If I use the landy every few days, its not a problem, but if I leave for more than about 5 days, then the battery will be down...

Can someone clarify what the arrangements are with the disc brakes on a 2003 defender 90. ie: when you depress the brake pedal, should this cause the brakes to be applied to all 4 wheels equally? or is there a bias towards the brakes on the front or rear wheels etc?

Stumbled across this on Ebay earlier and wondered what peoples opinions on it are: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RECOVERY-WINCHING-4X4-OFFROAD-GROUND-ANCHOR-LANDROVER-SELF-RECOVERY-/281058559810?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Other_Vehicle_Parts_Accessories_ET&hash=item4170654742 Compared with most...

Just noticed that the 'Glow Plug' warning light on the dash display (Defender TD5) does not light up when when the key in the ignition is turned to position 2. No idea how long it has been like that for :confused2:, but am thinking that it may have something to do with the battery drain...

I am trying to find the cause of a battery drain on my 2003 TD5 defender. I have read a lot about a diode failure in the alternator as being a possible cause, but I am not sure how to test this? I have removed the main cable from the alternator and this made no difference to the battery...

OK, further to my earlier thread, I've found the following circuit diagram for the possible problem fuse No. 9: Am I right in assuming that all that is connected to this fuse is the wiper controls and washers?? If this is correct, I'm guessing that the 0.55 amps being constantly drawn...

Hi, I am trying to trace the source of a battery drain on my Defender 90 TD5. I have checked all of the fuses for current draw when everything is switched off. None of the fuses behind the gear stick registered any current drain, so I went to test the fuses under the drivers seat and 2 of...

I need to change the front off side wheel bearings on my 2003 90 TD5. I want to avoid Britpart, so can anyone point me in the direction of a complete (non-britpart) kit as most online companies only seem to be selling the individual wheel bearings or a Britpart Kit. Thanks.

I have an Anderson plug mounted on the bottom of my rear cross member which is connected back to the battery. Does anyone if Anderson plugs are universal ie: will a 175A plug from one manufacturer fit onto another 175A fitting from a different manufacturer?? I am assuming this is the case...

Right then, when I unlocked my Defender (2003 TD5) this morning, everytime I pressed the unlock button on the key fob, the doors unlocked and then relocked themselve again before I could open the doors. (this has happened a couple of times before, usually when it is cold). After about the...

Hi I have been thinking about getting one of these roll cages fitted to my Defender: Land Rover 90 Hard / Soft Top Full External Roll Cage Has anyone any experience of them or know of anyone with one fitted? If so what do they think? In particular how sturdy are they? Thanks in advance.

Just a thought - is there any point in moving the ECU on a TD5 if the fuse box stays in place below the dash?? I know that the ECU is currently lower than the fuse box and repositioning the ECU would mean that the the ECU is more protected, but I am right in assuming that if the fuse box gets...

Hi Has anyone ever tried these plug-in tuning modules? They look good, though a little expensive, but I was wanting ti know if Bearmach's claims are true and if you have one, whether you think it is a worthwhile investment?? http://www.bearmach.com/downloads/PDFS/powerplus_leaf_c.pdf I...

Just come across this: BBC News - Snatch Land Rover's replacement is revealed by MoD Must admit I was surprised at the following comment regarding the use of land rovers by the military: "The vehicles could not cover soft ground and became stuck in a little water, which restricted the...

I am looking at upgrading my windscreen wipers on my defender and have read good things about the the Silblade silicone wiper blades (from mudstuff) and silicone wiper blades in general. However I now come across the latest 'Flat' wiper blades, which claim to be even better, and given the...

I know a lot of people use Memory Map for greenlaning, but does anyone use Quo and is it any good? http://www.mapyx.com/quo/ I am not even sure if it is the same sort of thing, but it is free and makes comparisions with memory map.

Just been reading somewhere else about how our landy's are at risk of having their accessories stripped from them when parked up at various land rover shows :eek: Is this a real issue or another urban myth? Just wondering whether I should leave the landy at home when going to this weekends...
