Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to buy the replacement joints for a 1999 td5 '90', rather than the whole shaft and joints? Cheers

Hi, I've searched the forum and taken as much of the advice as I can - stripped down handbrake switch, split connector (under central seat panel) and cleaned (it was quite badly oxidised), checked connectors on brake fluid reservoir. When i first cleaned the central connector it seemed to work...

Only a small one! Does anyone know wher i can get the square black plastic clips that go into the bodywork and retain the rear indicators - think I've swept them up and thrown them out with all the used wet and dry paper :-( Looked all over but no joy - If all esle fails, i'll have to get some...

Hi, just ordered some replacment grab handles and tried removing the old ones with an impact driver - kinda wish I hadn't! The rear x member has disintegrated into a 5" hole and on inspection the other sides the same and some bits in between - it's rotten, rotten - and it was already welded in a...

Hi, I'm doing some paint repairs and need to take the rear fog light off - given that I can't get the nuts off from the inside and that replacments are cheap, i'm going to enjoy butchering it off for a change. It's a '99' td5 with rectangular lights and i was wondeing if anyone knew if the...

I'm just trying to put some new front door hinges on, but... I've slackened all the screws of ok, but the 2 furthest to the back (bottom hinge) just seem to be spinning round - quite a lot of posts about getting screws out that won't move, but can't find anything on loose ones. Do I need to take...

Hi, Just been taking all the hoses off around the turbo to see if I can cure the whistle - noticed that the intercooler (td5) is caked with thick sticky (old looking) oil around the first 5 inches or so on the right hand side top to bottom. Unfortunately, can't get the grill of to inspect as...

Hi, A few days ago, my LR started to whistle. It sort of rises with the revs (when driven or stationary) then dies down when the revs are let off. It sometimes sounds a bit like a sort of wet warbly whistle - but that might just be my imagination? I took it in to a landrover garage and they...

Hi, just had my 99 td5 alarm fault diagnosed to the sensor (in the headlining above drivers door). Only problem is it's £137 for a new unit - a crappy little bit of plug-in plastic that looks like it's worth 10 bob (old money). Even then it can't be guaranteed and might be a dash out job...

Hi, My 1999 td5 has a factory fit alarm/immobiliser, but I don't think it does what it's supposed to. When I press the fob, it sounds the horn twice?? If you get in nothing happens, even though there is a little sensor looking thing over the drivers door. If you lift the bonnet the horn sounds...

Hi, I tried the vents today on my new (old) Landy and don't think they had been raised since new and were stuck shut. I sprayed wd on the hinges but still had to use a bit of force to open them, now they won't close properly because the bracket is slightly bent back. I need to take them off and...

Hi, Guys. Don't know if anyone has any advice here - just insured a 1999 90 td5 for £370 - it's been modified from a van by putting side windows and seat bases in. This wasn't available on the mods drop down, so I just rang them - an extra £500 - what!!! So now I've no insurance and have to...

Hi, I'm going to an auction tomorrow looking at a couple of 1996 defenders to hopefully replace my stolen 90 - All the catalogue says is tdi and despite numerous searches, I'm struggling to be able to tell if they are 200's or 300's - especially in an auction environment. Did the 200 finish...

Hi, following the recent theft of my old landy, i'm looking for a replacement! To be honest there aren't many good 1985/6 2.5 na diesels around and I liked it so much, I've decided to sell the car, use the insurance (fingers crossed) and get something a bit newer. I'm sure this has been done to...

I'm really fed up - 2 nights ago someone stole my 1986 defender 90, drove it round the corner and set fire to it - maybe they didnt know about the glow plugs because the police said someone had witnessed it kangarooing down the road - how mindless and wasteful - this weekend i was taking it to a...

Hi, I've just had a replacment steering box fitted and think that the radiator hoses might have been discontected (to fit it) as it is now running in the red on the temparature gauge. Even after an half hour run, the 2 bottom hoses are cold and the water in the top up tank is lukewarm, which I'm...

Hi, My 90 sounds like what as I can best describe as a big bird under the bonnet chirupping away. It seems worse under load and I'm hoping someone might know what's causing it and will it result in any damage if i keep driving it? I had a new steering pump belt fitted last week and wonder if...

I've had my landie 2.5 diesel for around 7mths now and have to admit it holds traffic up a bit on the hills, but not today!!! We got caught out in the snow in the Dales and driving back there were cars all over the place, queuing to get stuck on hills...the old thing went straight past - it...

Hi, When I bought my 1985 '90' it had loads of stickers on it - like, Cornwall lifeguard, mole valley farmers, etc but I took them all off as part of 'renovating' it (and now wish i'd left them on). It just made me wonder who had owned it and where it had been. Does anyone know how to find out...
