Hi all, Got a problem with the clutch on my Defender 110. The first half of the pedal's travel is only resisted by the pedal return spring. Only when over half-way down do I feel the heavy resistance of the hydraulic valve present itself, so the clutch only becomes fully disengaged at about one...

Hi all, After 5 years of faithful service, the time has arrived for me to reluctantly sell my Defender since I'm finding the clutch a bit too heavy for my poor old left hand knee which went under the knife earlier this year and hasn't been the same since. I'm totally out of touch with values...

Hi all, Just tidying-up a few loose ends on my 2003 Defender TD5 before I put it up for sale. I'm finding that the n/s headlight is blowing 10A fuses whenever it's put on main beam. The fuses blow right away so it looks like a near or total short-circuit. Any ideas as to what could be causing...

Hi all, After four fabulous years, I've decided it's time to part with my faithful Landy. Trouble is, I haven't a clue what it's worth. I've looked on Ebay (as you do) but the spread of values is so vast it's impossible to get any idea of an accurate value for mine. So that's where you come in...

Hi all, I've been with Adrian Flux for about 4 years and they've basically just helped themselves to the renewal fee via direct debit every year. But this time I had a query concerning the renewal so I rang them (always engaged) and emailed them (no reply) to try to get some clarification on...

I tried to buy my usual Motoquip engine oil for my next upcoming oil change, but my local retailer is no longer stocking it. I was offered some German stuff for an astronomical price which I declined. On the way back I stopped at a petrol station to top up on diesel and noticed they had Castrol...

Sounds like a washer motor, anyway. I've just replaced the entire front wiper system ('orrible job access wise) and upon stuffing all the wiring back behind the dash I thought I'd best carry out a few checks before finally tightening the screws. Since I'd had the instrument cluster out I...

Hi all, Well, after my wipers packed up I determined by various means that the problem was the wiper motor. And indeed there is a serious fault with that motor, so buying a new one was not a waste of money. But it's clearly not the whole story, since the wipers are still frozen in position and...

Hi all, I need a new front wiper motor for my TD5 and was wondering if anyone can recommend a decent by-post parts supplier they have had a good experience with? Or failing that a decent parts supplier in central London as I have to go there next week anyway. I did check out the forum...

Hi all, I finally got around to trying to find out why my Defender's wipers have packed up. On removing the top panel, I was able to spot a problem immediately, although I'm not sure if this is definitely the cause, it's certainly highly likely. At the point where the wiring from the wiper...

Hi all, My wipers just suddenly packed up. Thought it might have been a blown fuse but it isn't. So next thing to check is the front wiper relay. Er, anyone know where it is? This is a 2003 TD5 station wagon if that makes any difference. cheers,

I'd like to do something about my rusty doors. I won't waste time describing the degree of rust beyond saying they've rotted through to holes you can stick 3 fingers into in places but are totally fine elsewhere. So complete door replacement would be overkill IMV. At this point I would have...

Hi all, I can't find any info in the Haynes manual concerning maintenance of these items, which I'll have to describe: there is one each side of the front axle, just inboard from the brake discs. They resemble giant ball joints, each being a hemisphere about the size of a melon. What are they...

Hi all, This question relates to my 2003 TD5 which has a gear selection problem when it's cold. To be specific, in cold weather for the first 5 - 10 minutes, it's nearly impossible to change from 1st to 2nd gear. However, During the summer, this problem doesn't arise at all, so I'm guessing...

Hi all, I'd like to change my rotor filter, but the Haynes manual says it must be done at the same time as a main oil & filter change. I'm guessing (and it is only a guess) that this is to minimize oil spillage from inside the rotor cap when it's removed. The problem is I've already changed the...

Hi guys, What's the 'best way' to break into a Defender 110 with the safari body? I've locked my keys inside. I'm told I can get a new key for 30 quid from a place 20 miles away, but if there's a simple way to get in that anyone knows about then that would certainly be preferable! And before...

Hi all, My previously faultlessly reliable Deffie just just conked out today for no apparent reason. I was descending a slight hill when it just died; no death rattle or other sinister noises involved. No warning; just suddenly stopped. So far I've only been able to carry out the most minimal...
