Hi Had a new crossmember fitted recently - fuel gauge hasn't worked since. Haven't had a chance to take it back to garage yet but was poking around to find the problem. Might have found the culprit - there's a random wire / plug hanging loose but I can't find anywhere for it to plug into...

Per the title, my '97 Rioja Red 110 csw is for sale. Change in circumstances - new child and new job - mean its no longer being used. It has done 108000 miles. Passed its MOT yesterday. I'm in the Bath area. Looking for £7250 or reasonable offer. I've had it a few years. In that time...

Hi I'm relatively new to defender ownership and would appreciate some pointers. There was advisory on rust on the crossmember at the last MOT. I've kept an eye on it since then but not really checked it out up close until today. I've given it a good attack with a screwdriver and hammer...

Sadly the time has come to sell our landy. Starting a family, lack of space and lack of use means it can't be justified any more... Perhaps to be replaced in the future when we're more flush. Anyway - its a 97 300tdi 110 csw in good nick. 108000miles. Failed last mot due to brake servo leaking...

Hi Folks So, my 110 failed it's recent MOT. The main failure has been put right but there are a number of advisories as well which I'm going to try to put right myself. I'm not very experienced on the mechanical front but happy to take my time to do the job methodically. It'd be...

Hi Not sure if this is the right place for this. I've got a stack of land rover mags, plus some classic car and tractor mags, that are soon going to be ditched. About 40 in total I think. I was given them and have read the bits of interest. If anyone's in the Bath area and wants them, just...

Evening My wife and I currently share two cars - our '97 110 CSW and an 08 mondeo estate. We're saving the pennies at the moment and can't really justify having two vehicles. We both commute each day in the cars (I'm a 30 mile round trip and she's a 40 mile round trip) but I could (it'd...

I've got a '97 110 300tdi which has adopted a new annoying habit. Typically after running and then turning it off for 5-15 mins, it won't start. The engine is turning over and battery is strong but it won't fire. If I leave it for a few minutes it then fires up fine. Anyone got any ideas...

Now, I know that defender door locks are crap... The drivers door can be opened with a tea spoon. However, the lock on the rear load area door seems stronger / better / less crap. Is this the case; e.g. Can it be reasonably relied upon to secure the load area? Cheers

It seems that most replacement s for defenders come shod on new steel wheels. A lot of the threads on here talk of new tyres coming on modulars etc... I don't understand why you don't just reuse the existing wheels. Most land rovers come with them, after all. Might be a stupid question...

Hello folks I've posted a few times but thought I should introduce myself. We purchased a 97 110 csw 300tdi over the summer - it's our first land rover and loving it so far. I live in somerset. The plan is to use it for overlanding, doing more adventurous trips each year. We're planning a...

It seems that the sliding rear windows on my 110 csw aren't very good at keeping water out. Shame I had to be using a jet wash to find that out... I'm also looking at a) making the back more secure and b) re trimming the runners to stop them rattling. I don't want to replace them with blanks...

Planning ahead for our travels this year, we're thinking of spending a fortnight driving to, around and back from Switzerland. We were in Lauterbrunnen this year without the defender and want to go back. This time, we'll have all our gear, camping stuff and possibly mountain bikes in the back...

Hello folks I've lurked on this forum for a while but not posted much. I bought my first land rover in August, a 1997 110 csw 300tdi. It's in tidy condition and hasn't had any problems since getting it, except that it doesn't particularly like starting in this recent cold! In the first cold...
