Help needed. Td5 90 suddenly stopped when driving, felt like a fuse had blown or a broken connection as the engine stopped dead. Has no EML, no fuel pump or main relay click when ignition turned on. Water gauge doesn't move indicating a bad earth, oil and battery lights etc still work and...

If I wasnt short on cash atm I wouldnt even entertain the thought of a repair kit and would buy new swivels, but seeing as mine are not corroded and its the swivel bearings that have died i'm thinking if buying a repair kit. Unless of course anyone would recomend otherwise. Ive also noticed the...

I've just purchased a pair of second hand defender later bonded rear side sliding windows. Having never done this before I wouldnt mind some pointers I need to cut the sides on my van, I know Massai do a template, does anyone else do it? Or is it simple enough to mark out and save the £15. I've...

I've been thinking as you do... my td5 defender has quite a good heater for those in the front with the addition of a bilge blower. However my kids freeze in the back. I've moved the ecu etc out from under the drivers seat and I'm left with the space. I was looking at a diesel heater that...

selling my spare transfer box as I ended up having mine overhauled when my clutch and flywheel went. A long story short my landy was in a garage whilst I was away as the clutch went the day before I left and it worked out cheaper and easier to have mine rebuilt. My plan was to give this the once...

has anyone else had this and how do you stop it? The breather isn't blocked but it isn't held in very secure and nearly comes out on the motorway soaking everything in diff oil. I've two thoughts, zip ties or some kind of instrument fitting screwed in.

I changed my slave a while ago (last year!!) because the seals had gone and was advised to do the master cylinder at the same time but just haven't got around to it. Anyway I have a few days off and I'm going to do it. But I also fancy fitting the spring with less resistance (td5). Is it easier...

Good condition only please

guys the clutch slave failed this morning and I'm changing it now. But when I took the slave off the pushrod came off with it. I have all the parts and I've made a little tool with some tube and a screw to hold it all steady while I refit it. but I can't get it back on. Does it have to be fed...

Whilst green laning last night we had to stop nose 1st on a 35% incline to safely get a disco 2 down a step. When we got to the bottom both myself and the td5 disco reported our tanks had gone from 3/4 to full. Nowt strange their from being pointed downhill except mine never reads off the top...

I'm looking good for a roof rack and I've come across one that is a generic one that is adjustable and fits many veichles. The guy knows it will fit a early disco but isn't sure about about a defender hardtop. Are disco 1&2's wider and lower? if so does anyone know how much?

I need to get a 33 inch wheel and tyre from down south to up north. Who do you guys recommend ? preferably loose rather than on a pallet as I don't want put the guy out any help is great fully received.

My td5 has a brilliant heater after doing loads of work to make sure I stayed warm this winter. Imagine my dismay when after 7 miles the water temp was up but my fans refused to blow hot. Then imagine my relief when I realised I'm a nobler and I had left the fans set at cold from the day previous.

Hope this is ok to post here, It's not a forsale thread as I have no idea 100% what the parts are or their value. Long story short my dad is seriousy ill and we've had to start clearing out his garage and any parts sold will go towards a ground floor conversion. so far i've found new diff...

Has anyone tried repairing the tracks on their defender heated rear window? I've got a couple out and I've been looking at painting them back where they have blown. I still have one that works in the middle but given that I have two wet dogs or wet cycling stuff in it most of the time atm I'm...

Guys I'm making futher improvements to my std alarm system by adding a second bbus sounder. I have a second wiring loom with the correct connection to put into back of the sounder. The only problem is all the wires are black to make it harder for the sally wags to defeat. But it also means I...

Something strange happened to my defender. My indicators stopped working as a fuse had blown. I changed the fuse but then I found I had problems with the hazard switch. I had to repeatedly tap it to make it work. A few days later I've no lights, no hazards and no lights on the alarms. I've...

I've had a issue with my td5 running rough like a misfire. The fuel pump sounded suspect, gurgling and screaming. So yesterday I replaced it with a brand new siemens VDO unit. Yesterday the pump was near silent but didn't resolve the issue. Today however I've been out to start it and the pump...

I've fitted a boost gauge to my td5 to keep an eye on things. It's a mechanical job by so it doesn't need power to work, but I do need power to light it. Tomorrow I'm going to be looking for the power feed to the lights on the back of the clocks but as time will be tight can anyone tell me what...
