Hello, My defender td5 110 failed it's MOT for having underperforming brakes. The diagnosis was "probable bad vacuum servo". I've fitted a new one but now I've got very soft brakes - the pedal goes half way down before I get any braking and is slow to come back up again. I've bled the system as...

Hello, my Defender 110 Td5 refused to start yesterday morning - all the instruments were fine, the heater coil light came on and went out OK, but when I went to start it, the starter solenoid gave a good clunk, but the starter didn't turn. I assumed I had a failed battery, so attached jump...

Hello, I'd be very grateful for any help/guidance with a non-starting X-reg Freelander Td4. I connected up a code-reader to it today and it;s throwing three errors: 1260 - Pre-fuel pressure control 1612 - MIL lamp is on 1190 - Fuel rail pressure plausibility From a bit of reading...

Hello, I've not started diagnosing this properly yet, but it's looking possible that the ECU in my Td5 110 has packed up. Can anybody explain the process of getting a replacement and coding/mapping/registering it to my vehicle, please? I see on ebay, they tend to be sold with the green...

Hello, I'm part way through changing the swivel-joint seals on my Td5 Defender. I've done one side, so now I'm starting work on the other side. While removing the hub drive flange, I've hit a problem which I'm hoping somebody else has encountered and can offer me advice on. The...

Hello, I'm posting this here, because I can't think where else to post it, to be quite honest. I've just come from under my 110, where I'd intended to grease the propshafts and whatever else presented an accessible grease nipple. I had to give up, though, as my grease gun wouldn't...

Hello, The steering on my 110 Td5 went mad the other day...it suddenly developed a massive speed wobble at about 40mph. I went for the easiest fault and checked the PAS fluid - imagine my surprise at finding it fully emulsified. "Ah ha," I thought, "pump failure." So, one new PAS pump later and...

...yes, that old wheeze. I'm trying to reverse-engineer a tachometer into my dashboard. I've read in various places online that pin 19 of the ECU gives out some sort of engine-speed signal, but I'm having no luck detecting it. Here's the trace coming off pin 19, but I think it's just noise...

Hello helpful all, I've been reading through the dozens of posts here on brush/roller painting with NATO/other paint... I was hoping to find a general opinion on how best to go about it, but some people say you shouldn't prime first, some say you should and some seem to have no luck...

Hello, I'd be really grateful if somebody could have a look at a couple of pictures I took of a Defender 110 bulkhead and tell me how bad they think the rust is: This is taken from the passenger door - the rust is behind the dashboard trim, which is the black thing to the right...

Hello, I'm still building up to buying my first Land Rover - so far, I've settled on a 110 Defender of some sort. There are quite a few places around that sell ex-MOD 110's, but I've read that the 24V electrics and non-turbo diesel engines can be a problem. On the other hand, I like...

Hello, can I just jump straight in with a question? I'm looking around for my first Land Rover and I've been offered a 15 year old 110 High Capacity Pickup (200TDi I think) with 192000 miles on the clock for reasonable money. It's been used mostly on the road for carting stuff around...
