Guys, recently had my land rover stolen and have replaced it with another...!!! The last one didn't have an alarm or any form of security (I live in middle of nowhere in Scotland and theft not a big issue) however, it was taken from Humberside airport (secure car park would you believe!!) by a...

Update: White van that was seen following my Landy has been traced and belongs to 'wanted' peeps by SOCA/Special Branch...!! Suspect it was a targeted hit..... :-(

Was offshore - guy in hotel saw Landy driving through barrier - thought it was me! Was also seen by car park mannie supposedly but I'm still offshore so reports are 2nd hand. Not sure of small print on policy so worried about being left whilst at place of work - although dont make habit of...

Just took it for a thrash in the heat and up a couple of hills - looks like 'topping up' coolant did the trick - who'd have thought it eh! Doh...!! (and to think I 'used' to be a mechanic.....!!!!)

Went to check coolant level just after posting.... it was down a few litres..!!! Topped up so will keep an eye on things over coming week and let you know. Thanks for prompt responses guys!

Great stuff, thanks Defcrazy - will give it a go.

Defcrazy, all sounds like a good idea, but probably need a bit more info.... I'm not at home at the moment so will wait till I get back (10 or so days from now) and will then scour the Haynes manual etc. to get a better idea of where the sensors are exactly and what to check for and then post...

Further to earlier thread I'm a little bit further on with diagnosing my power loss problem, and am looking for the next steps? Model: TD5 2003 110 Double Cab with 140k on clock. Symptoms: Very sluggish when cold (no smoke), absolutely no 'pull' whatsoever. Once warm (circa 15-20 mins)...

Hi all, thought I'd introduce myself in the correct manner after a 'gentle push' to do so in the correct forum!!!! I live in Glen Tanar which is just outside Aboyne and just bought a Landy :) It's a Defender 110 TD5 Double Cab with flatbed and I love it. I've had quite a few 4x4's before...

Hi all, hope you can help? I've just bought an '03 110 Defender TD5 Double cab with 137k on the clock. I had it checked out at the local garage and it's pretty sound but when I went to pick it up they mentioned that it was lacking power when cold. It had been used predominantly on road, and...
