Can someone remind me how to identify 15p engine as opposed to a 10p engine?

As the title suggests, suspect the TD5 head. Was "hunting" when driving along about a steady 30. Also noted using water. Thought, ok, head gasket. Have now changed head gasket and taken for a run. Not "hunting" any more but a bit rough on idle. Checked water only to find lots of oil floating on...

MOT time again. Failed miserably! 2000yr 110 TD5. Engine , gearbox 100%. Chassis, bulkhead & doors all fubared! Scrap or invest?

Any tips on how to do this? Got new glass to replace one that self-destructed in the frost. Can't seem to get it in putting the top in first, then it will not go over bottom lip. Local landy dealer said it was tricky and time consuming! Help!

Looking for sliding window glass for 2000 defender offside. Anyone help?

Brand new, boxed set of tinted panoramic windows for 110. Set consists of 2 x lockable side windows, 2 x rear quarterlights, plus heated rear window. New cost £735 today, offers? Presently on eBay, but would give preference to forum members! Based in Aberdeen but could be couriered wherever.

Having managed to smash rear window on my Defender 110 (2000), I went to fit a Masai rear window I bought some time ago as a start of a rebuild project that has stalled! According to Masai the window they supplied is correct for that model and year. However it does not fit my door, to small by...

Yes there are several threads on this already which I will be searching through. However, before I start can someone remind me of the correct sequence of the TC and ABS lights from ignition on, engine started, to rolling forward? Do both come on immediately? I know both should be out once...

Instrument cluster for 2001 Td5 defender

Question : when the cylinder head is off and the top timing chain sprocket is sitting loose on the top chain guides, is it possible for the chain to slip on the bottom sprocket so that it may get one tooth out of sync? Have set the timing up as per Haynes, with a lock on the flywheel through...

I month later and still no further on! Very rough running but only when coolant in. Head tested - 100%, head skimmed, new gasket and correctly torqued etc. Fuelling ok and red plug clear. Need to get checked with Nanocom to see difference with/without coolant in. Any offers Aberdeen area?

Ok, have a 110 with TD5. Very noticeable vibration, could be misfire, could be something else. It is there on start up and throughout the rev range, on idling or under load. Was recently in for MOT so asked indy for opinion, they reckoned it was crankshaft damper. However, have removed...

While in for mot, (usual stuff, holes in chassis, rear brake discs corroded, etc) now passed, I asked my indy for thoughts on rough running. Pulls well all gears, happy up to 70 or so, but still rough. Turns out the crankshaft damper has let go. Surprised for all my years on lz I have not heard...

Ok, background to this problem. Replaced front O/S disc, badly scored. As ever to get this off, had to remove brake calipers. Of course the bolts were rounded and had to hammer on an undersized socket to get them out. In order to do this had to undo top swivel pin bracket to get caliper out of...

Recently had to replace front disc and pads. As ever, the caliper bolts were a right PITA to get off. Eventually had to remove bolts and brake pipe bracket from top swivel pin to get access to batter on an undersize socket. All back together, but! cannot get the ABS sensor to go fully home so...

Have been looking for a Refrigerator that will fit in place of cubby box in my Defender. Not huge capacity, 26 litres or so. Saw the ideal one on APB trading but now out of stock, non due until month end. Anybody done this already or can recommend a source? :confused:

Defender 110 TD5 door wanted. Drivers side front. Push button type. Any out there?

Symptoms: Once started. will run fine, go for miles & pulling OK. Stop for a few minutes, then it will start on the button again no problem. Leave it for any more than 5 minutes, it will start immediately then after about 3-4 seconds it will start hunting then stall. Will not restart until a...

Been having a few starting problems. Ok once it starts, on the button for the rest of the day. BUT, have to crank 10 -15 secs a couple of times first thing before it even thinks about offering. Did have some problems with fuelling, noisy pump, choked filter etc but these all ok now. Good high...

30 miles into my regular weekly commute, (120 miles), loud horrible noises, loss of drive and piggy back home courtesy of Mr Green Flag. Spent all day stripping out gearbox and lowering, (TD5 110) - not for the faint hearted. Looks like the gearbox has disintegrated. Will probably go to...
