Lol, it's Hamilton I moved from. Strathy park was always an...."interesting" place right enough though.

Yeah, that's the page I was using. I suppose them sending me a new bit of paper with the new address would constitute a new V5C being issued. I never thought about the address change as getting a new V5C, more as just having the existing one updated. I saw the incorrect date, then couldn't get a...

Its at the bottom of the page where you check the Tax/MOT status of a vehicle on the uk gov website. I've just realised this might be me just being a little paranoid/stupid. I moved house a few years ago and have had the address updated. The date on my v5c is just for the "date acquired", I...

Checking on the vehicle enquiry service UK.gov website for my defender and it shows the date of the last issued V5C as 27July2018. I have been the registered owner keeper since 2011 and have never requested a replacement. I can't get through the DVLA on either phone, webchat or email due to the...

Out of interest, has anybody here driven the R380 back when it was new and can they remember if they were always like this or is it a problem that develops with age?

I have the same symptoms in my R380 (MY 2000 TD5) although I can still beat the synchro when it's warmed up if I try. I've tried atf (was in it when I got it), the Difflock stufff (bloody dear) and now have MTF94 funnily enough from smith and allan. To be honest I've found no real difference in...

I had those symptoms on and off for a little while before I had major issues with the wiring from ECU to accelerator pedal. As others have said get it plugged in and read the fault codes. You will see "driver demand" faults if it's anything to do with accelerator or the associated wiring. If not...

I've had these symptoms on my TD5 about a year ago too. I also had a tail lights that would come on by themselves and flatten my battery when I wasn't looking and disco lights on my dashboard. I eventually traced it to the wiring on the drivers side where it comes out of the chassis and goes...

Try draining the filter to see if there's any water in it?

The light on the left is the engine management light. The one on the right is the water sensor on your fuel filter. Both should light up briefly (to check the warning lights themselves are working) then go out when you turn the ignition on. If either of them are staying on then I would be...

My old door was pretty much held together by the chequer plate the previous owner siliconed/tek-screwed on. The frame was so rotten it had broken in a couple of places. When I eventually removed it to fit the new door I reckon I could almost have folded it in two like a sheet of cardboard if it...

Snap! They are well made aren't they! I have just spent all afternoon fitting mine. I had to cut a wee bit out of my panel as the replacement door I fitted has a sort of bracket bit below the lock/handle on the inside. I used Rivnuts on the door frame with M5 cap screws (borrowed from work)...

Lol oops! I've been lurkin' (and laffin') for a while so forgot I never introduced myself. Been driving my 2000 TD5 defender for about 2 years now and love it. Just about got it all working (there's always summat to do though aint there!). After it spent best part of 8 weeks off the road with...

If the check engine light light has come on and you've lost all throttle response then I'd guess it'll be the throttle position sensor (playstation pedal) or it's associated wiring (9 times out of 10 it's the wiring IME). You need to see what the actual fault code(s) logged on the ECU were...
