Hi all, I've done a search but there are so many responses to this issue that it didn't help for once. I've got a knocking coming from the underside of my Defender TD5 110sw. It happens on mildly rough surfaces (old roads or gravel car parks) as a dull knock knock. Particularly if the steering...

Not bloody simple is it?! Right I own a 1999 Defender 110 Station wagon TD5 which my research tells me is just under 2000kg (please correct me if that's wrong) I also own a caravan which is 850kg Totalling 2850kg (smrt me) However I have a post 1997 licence which only allows me a class...

As it says on the tin really. The immobiliser light has a slow repetitive flash when locked, open up a door and the light comes on and stays on, usually pressing the fob button turns it off. But now: when I press the button, the immobiliser light blinks rapidly, the engine starts, but the light...

Got a bit of an issue.. maybe. Been phoning round for service pricing my TD5, or so I thought. It says TD5 on the body, and the engine cover says TD5 on it, but one of the garages said "No sir, that registration is for a SWTDI" Sure enough, thats what it says on the log book. Now its...

Wotcha. I've got a leak on my 99 TD5 defender. Its coming from the top right hand corner of the radiator (as you look at from the front of the landy) it appears to be coming from where the rad fins go into a metal housing. doesn't look like its from a loose pipe. I've just worked out it...

Good news everyone! My Landy failed its MOT yesterday on just the rear suspension bushings.. that is the BEST MOT result I've ever had! Well chuffed :D:D

I’ve got a metallic rattle/ knock coming from the underside of my defender. It sounds like the “dunk-dunk” you get from when you run over a loose manhole. And no, I’m not running over loose manholes! 2 weeks ago it was sporadic. Happened when I went over bumps, but not every time and it...

Hello guys and gals. I'm planning on sticking up a 'spare's cupboard in my garage soon, and wondered what you would consider would be essential spares for a Depender (don't say an entire other Depender!!) Just to stop me having to bugger off to Halfords every time something goes wrong!! I...

Hey all, So I've had my T reg (99) Defender TD5 a month now and its run lovely, but the last 3 days I've really felt the gears change. I'm having to ram the gears home to get them to engage properly, and reverse is an absolute dog, takes a good load of attempts to work. I've also noticed...

I'm after suggestions, I've got my 110 with 5 seats (no rear benches) but I need to fit two kiddie seats in there (full size, not booster) so I need to fit some full size seats in the middle row. I know Exmoor trim do these, and to be fair they're not a rip off price, but does anyone know of...

My depender was off the road recently and when i'd got it sorted the battery was flat, so I charged it for 12 hrs and it worked fine. However something odd has happened. The battery gauge used to sit on the half way mark when running (just below when running lights/heater) but since I've but...

My Dad's after a set of 5 Deestone Extra Tractions or Goodtear HiMilers 7.50 x 16 but everytime he finds a set, they;re miles away and would cost loads in delivery.. so does anyone know of a source for these in the hampshire/berkshire area?

You own an ex-services (Scottish elec I think) defender, they took out the alarm, stereo and amber light before you get it... and the dash looks like this:

First off, yes I know there's been topics about this, but they're old and don't answer me questions! :p So, I have a fender 110 SW, 2 seats in the front, 3 in the middle no bench seats. I also have a toddler and a bun in the oven! which leads to a bit of seating issue. It seems most child and...

So since just before the snow hit, my Landy has been a right mardy cow. A few times its cut out on my while driving along, but started up again right away, then last week it upped the game. I drove it all the way home from work, switched off the engine, went in for a brew and then went back...

After reading the thread about nicked landies, I'm a bit worried now, as my truck isn't as hidden as it used to be. So my question to you dear oddballs.. which is the best/most reliable steering/break/gear lock for a depender in your opinions? cheers, Dale

Hello! I'm having a bit of a headache with my wagon at the moment (surprised??) and wondered if any of you guys could help? Basically, my 110sw used to be a utility truck for southern elec/scottish power or someone of the like, and it had an amber light, adhoc alarm, winch etc etc fitted. All...

My 110's fuel tank has a slight leak, I'll be getting a new one in the new year. In the mean time to stop the diesel staining the driveway I have placed a container underneath. This container is now filling with diesel (funny that!) and I thought about emptying it into my 20l jerrycan. The...

Hello all! Not "new" to the forum as such. I joined up earlier in the year, then promptly forgot about it! Anyway, I am here now, so here's a little bit about myself: I am 24 and live in Baughurst, a small village in the middle of a triangle between Reading, Basingstoke and Newbury. There's no...
