Been on vacation for a week and got home and started my 300tdi 90 up (not been run for a week) and drove for about 40 min. Turned it off, sat for about 15 min and jumped back in to drive home, would not start. All my dials worked and lights came on, but nothing at all happened when I turned the...

I needed new brake pads, calipers, and disks all around so I wanted to upgrade performance a little so I bought the vented terrafirma disks (link below). I fitted everything else and went for a test drive and hit the brakes at 10, 15, and 30 and felt like they were not as strong as before. Then...

Hi all, Looking to upgrade all my steering components, going for heavy duty tie rod, etc. I also want to put the terrafirma RTC steering damper on it. I've seen a few reviews for it on other sites going both ways, bad and good, but most of those people had not actual had one on their defender...

Yesterday was on a 2 hour drive and when I stopped, got out and went to lock the door I realized my lock was gone!! I admit the tumbler had been a little wobbly for the past few weeks and would slide out a little when pulling my key out, but I didn't think it would fall out of the handle. Is...
