My fuel pump saga continues..... My fuel pump on my td5 is noisey as hell and takes a bit encouragement to start from cold or if left for a good length of time. Now, I have changed all the usual suspects. Fuel pressure regulator, injector seals and o-rings, fuel filter, return bleed valve on...

Today on my way home from work my td5s battery light illuminated and has stayed illuminated since. I have done what checks I can but can only come to the conclusion that the alternator has packed in. I checked the battery with the ignition on and it read 12v precice. On turning the car over...

Eventually had to admit defeat and send my 110 to the local specialist. 3 times it died on me on the way there. All when driving uphill strangely. Have to prurge they system with the old 5 press pedal technique and after some 20-30 seconds cranking she fires up....with persuasion of my right...

Hi guys Has anyone got the measurements/dimensions for cutting an access hatch to reach the fuel pump on a 110 td5. I really dont fancy dropping the tank and all the choice words that will go with it. I've seen a couple of posts similar to this and just wondered if anyone can pass on any...

The defender just suddenly lost power yesterday and decided to cut out leaving me at the roadside. After purging the fuel system I eventually got her going again but it took some cranking. No warning lights etc, I'm assuming air maybe getting in somewhere but not 100 percent sure. It has on...

In a rather embarrassing situation today my td5 110 just decided to loose power. I dropped gears but the power just dipped further and further until I had to pull over and it stopped dead. Would not start so I left it 5 minutes. Primed the fuel system by pressing the throttle 5 times and let...

Hi everyone. A dreaded pool of water underneath my defender td5 after getting home from work. Identified it as a core plug which is tucked right away near the starter motor. I have purchased a new set of plugs but the question is, is there any way way to get it out without having to remove...

After having 2 new wheel bearings and 2 new drive flanges and a new maf sensor and diff oils changed....ive now been told my 110 td5 has "bits of metal in transfer box oil" More dusty than large fragments. I fear my already emptying wallet could nt stretch to a new transfer box as yet. Will...

Hi everyone, Now i know this has probably been covered a million times. But can i get away with the egr removed and a decat pipe on the 110 td5? Ive spoke to storm tuning as im heading there for a remap, however prior to this pipe n egr must be done. Enquires were made and ive been informed...

So i have a relatively small issue this time with the 110 td5. Had it up on the axel stands the other day and was just checking a small oil leak and decided to check for play in bearings etc. Spinning the drivers side front wheel there is a small click every revolution. It increases with the...

So my 110 is marking its territory on the drive with oil from somewhere. Not a great deal but enough to keep awake ay night Ive been undwrneath but it is pretty hard to determine exactly where it is coming from. The oil is jet black which leads me to think it maybe engine oil rather than from...

Just a quick query as to how much you can realistically sell for. I am in a tricky fix and may have to give up my belived g4 90 to change for a 110 due to kids. Trouble is ive seen so much variation in prices people sell them. I saw one go for 25k!!!! With a similar amount of mileage and...

Ok so im assuming this may of been covered many times before. What is the law regarding children i the back of a 90? I have a g4 td5 and the rear seat are the old sideways facing ones, i have checked the v5 and its classed as a 6 seater. I dont really want to sell for a 110 or even another...

So I'm about to go to bed when there's a knock at the door and a gentleman(god bless him) standing there telling me he has just scared off 2 lads wheeling my defender off the drive and down the street!! They weren't far off succeeding either! Turns out they short circuited it and popped the door...

I've had a problem with my defender td5 recently, I was called out of work by security saying my alarm was going off. However there was only the horn sounding, unlocked and started but the horn stayed on!! But after starting went to a very low drone and ceased working all together, now the...

hey everyone, i have already posted about this but here we go again, my td5 90 pulls to the left when i let go of the wheel. and also on heavy braking, just had radius bushes all changed as i thought there may be play in the axle, this was after checking regular stuff such as track rods...

hey all ill just cut to the chase.. ive been having the problem of my defender td5 pulling to the left for a while now. on normal braking it is ok but on heavy braking its hedgebound!!! and im almost out of ideas....and money. my passanger side front tyre is the only one that is wearing down...

My 53 defender td5 was misfiring after start up and sometimes not starting at all, everything is as normal.... fuel pump kicks in and pressured up, when i go to start it starts but dies immeadiatley, or misfires then dies. then when i try n restart... nothing from pump. after a few turns of the...

:confused::doh: i have a 53 td5 and rcently it has started missing odd times, fine for days on end then suddenly...a miss/cough, with mil lamp flashing when the miss occurs but then everything goes back to normal. i have had it to a 2 garages, 1 of which is a LR specialist, full diagnostics...

This is really ****ing me off now as i am nearly on the bones of my arse trying to sort this bastard of a problem. Pardon my french :) Ok...so.... sometimes the pump refuses to kick in until key is turned a few times, othertimes the cycle occurs as normally but it is reluctant to turn over...
