Hi
Just replacing the front door hinges on my 110, a bit of drilling and sawing but nothing too difficult.
I'm taking off, painting then replacing with stainless bolt the rear doors (not back door) hinges.
Ive done the upper ones and about to start the lower ones but cant figure out how the...
I've search through but cant find any ideas in the many weird sounds from my landy threads :(
On gentle acceleration I get a sound like a spring being put under pressure (if you see what I mean?) its coming from beneath the gear stick area. If I accelerate a little harder or decelerate it...
Does anyone know where I can get a customised spare wheel cover?
the one that's on there at the moment is kind of a thick plastic with elasticated vinyl which goes over the tyre.
I'd like to have my own logo on the back rather than advertise the garage I got the car from.
I've got a sump plug I cant get off on my Defender TD5, has anyone tried loctite freeze and release? I've tried quite a bit of force and the nuts starting to round off so thought I'd better stop before it got too bad.
My other thought would be to get a blow torch and heat it up but there's a bit...
1999 TD5 defender 110,
I was driving on the motorway, up hill about 70mph with quite a lot of heavy stuff on board, sudden power loss and speed went down to 50, pulled over and had a quick look but couldnt see anything abviouse. Car starts ok and ticks over fine, and seems not too bad up to 50...
While looking for a second alarm bleeper for my defender I realised how easy it is to disable the alarm/immobiliser (in seconds).
what is the best way to protect or disable the com port to make it more difficult for thieves?
P.m me if you dont want the idea seen by theiving gits on an open forum.

I fitted a Mantec snorkel and Mud snow cowl (just in time :)) on wednesday, these were both from santa :D
Also fitted some wipac clear fronted light and halfords + 130 bulbs, what a differance :eek::eek::eek:, I can see at least as well as with the lights from my ford focus...I'm well pleased...
My 110 TD5 warms up to about 1/3 on the temperatur guage and doest go any thurther, not much heat from the heater, can the thermostat get stuck open?
I tried undoing the bleed srew and idling for a while but this didnt seem to do anything other than loose some coolant.
any ideas? or am I being a...
The corner has snapped off my airbox so need a replacement,
car is a Defender TD5 1999
I'm in the North Kent Area but travel to Guildford and Newbury regularly
edit to add I've found some on ebay now
just recieved a Coram 2t bottle jack from ebay, it looks like it should have 3 stages of lift but only 2 move is this correct?
floor to top extended is 15 inches
Probably a stupid question but:
is a rivet gun the same as a riv nut gun?
I've just picked up some second hand steps that I'll fit once I've cleaned them up, I'll need to fit a riv nut into the chassis for the bracket (any one know what size riv nut I'll need?)
Also (hopefully) getting a...
I'm moving up to scotland next year, our house is in a dead end road and a lot of people get stuck trying to park on the edge of a ditch, with a big Defender parked in the drive I think we'll get a lot of knocks asking for a tow out...I'm sure this will **** me off after a while, do people...
I've got a leak that looks like its coming from the union for the oil feed to the turbo. Am I right in thinking I might cure this by removing and replacing the copper washers? If so where can I get replacement washers (I've got a box of halfords copper washers which might contain the right ones)...
Not picked the car up yet and I'm already looking at stuff to bolt on :D
Its a 1999 110, I've already set my sights on a Mantec snorkle but also fancied a roofrack.
MCB4x4 do a nice looking full length tubular one but only seem to sell on ebay which has got me a bit worried, has anyone had any...
