Never come across this before, but theres a first time for everything! 1974 SER3 swb with some odd brake problems. Hopoefully someone has come across this before & can advise me. Brakes were pretty much shot so replaced the lot. Cylinders, drums, shoes & return springs. Bled them all through...

So set off the other morning in torrential rain, never knew we had a Monsoon season in the UK... Anyway, wipers got slower & then stopped. Not good. Eventually got home & had a quick look. Pulled wipers off windscreen & motor ran. About 15Min later it stopped so think its a fair guess that the...

Mornin all! Got an issue here driving me nuts. 1998 Defender & the indicators & Hazard lights are not working. Tried a spare indicator relay but still no joy. All the fuses are good & theres power to the relay. Would the next step be another Hazard light switch or maybe an indicator stalk? My...

Got an odd one on our FL2. Its a 2009 Manual Diesel, looks very much like a French PSA group engine. Noticing a smell of diesel thats been getting stronger over the weekend. Quick look around & nothing obvious until i took the top cover off. Diesel all round the injecteors..Get as much out as...

Got an odd one going on here. Our TD5 Defender drives great with no issues while running. Stop it & leave it for a couple of mins with or without the key in & unlocked but immoibiklizer kicks in when we go to start it again. Lock then unlock & all is good. Never done this before but started...

Morning all! Got a 2007 Puma & the Starter is playing up. Looks a bit of a mare of a job TBF. Is it a coolant drain then start taking pipes off? Is it accesssable through the wheel arch once the inner wing is off? Anyone done one & could share some hints & tips please? Many thanks in advance! :D

Got a 53 reg TD5 Defender with an odd alarm problem. Park up & press lock on the fob & clunk.. locked. However, no flashes from the indicators but the light in the speedometer flashes fast then after a few seconds slows down to a nice regular speed. If i open the car with the fob, again no...

Afternoon all! Got an ex military 90 with a 11j engine in it. Fuel Injection pump is throwing fuel out of the throttle spindle for all its worth. Its a CAV DPS pump. Got the timing kit for the 12j & 19j engines but will it work on the 11j or do i need a different kit? Many thanks all!

Morning all! Got an ex military 90 here with the 11J N/A Diesel in it. Injection pump is leaking more fuel than its using so am after another one to fit. Had a look on the plate & it says its a DPS pump. Dont suppose anyone has one hiding in a corner thats looking for a new home? Other...

Morning All! Had a look through various threads but not come up with any ideas. Task in hand, change EGR Valve. No big deal, Battery disconnected & dive in. Get it swapped, all pipes & connectors on where they are supposed to go & Battery reconnected. Key in, press start button to fire up the...

Morning all! Got a Ser3 SWB here with an odd brake issue. drive up the road, stand on the brakes & the rear locks up.. Can be entertaining on times! All brakes are adjusted ok so whats going on? Wondering if someone has put some LWB brake cylinders on?. Any idea what the bore of the rear...

Morning all! Got a 2016 Disco Sport & the tailgate is doing something a bit odd.. opens ok, press the shut button & sometimes it closes ok & sometimes it almost closes, beeps then opens. Had a good look at it in operation & seems to be hitting the nearside body panel & not sitting square. Not...

Morning all! Looking at calibrating the suspension on our D3. Information seems either to be sketchy or conflicting... Had a look through some posts here but cant seem to find any definitive information on ride height (could be that i looked at the wrong posts). Anyone happen to know the factory...

Mornin all! Got a TD5 90 & the wipers have decided to play up (not work). One of those things you only find out when it rains:). Anyway, Washer motor works, can hear it running so getting power to the switch. Plugged in another switch & still the same. Can hear a relay clicking behind the dash...

Afternoon all! Got an strange one here, 2013 td4 Freelander with an odd clutch problem. Not long had a new clutch kit & concentric slave cylinder fitted so would like to think that’s all good. Was ok for a few weeks & now the clutch pedal occasionally sticks down. Anyone come across this before?

Afternoon all! Poor old abused TD5 Defender has finaly got to the stage where the park brake need adjusting. All previous Landrovers i have had have been pretty much self explanitary as to how its done. Little bolt on the park brake back plate, wind it in & happy days!. This beastie is a bit...

Mornin all! Here’s an odd one. 2003 Defender TD5, drove home last night no issues. Started this morning & got the sort of noise you get when the PAS fluid is low. Next thing is, fluid being blasted out of the reservoir vent hole right across the front wing. Stopped & had a look, real frothy...

Afternoon all! As we all know, there`s a lot of Defenders getting stolen at the mo. Thought to myself I better get a bit of home made security at the very least on it. Logical line of thought went that if the fuel pump is not running, the engine wont.. So! Seat out, start the motor & pull the...

just done the injector seals & washers on a motor we have in. Injectors can be a pest to remove so here is a tool I made that makes it easy. Just an old hefty screwdriver & make a 20mm 90deg hook on it. Hook under the injector right by the bolt hole, pull back & pop! Out it comes. Use the hook...

Afternoon all! Got a lovely little old TD5 Defender here with a real strange problem.. Got lots of smoke & a hell of a knock on No4 cyl. Quick test, pulled the plug off the injector & the knock stopped. Bit of a clue methinks.. So! pop in a new injector, program it & hit the button. Starts as...
