I am about to sell my defender 110 because it seems to be a target for thieves, and am looking for a replacement. I am happy to spend a bit more money, but want a car that is not a hobby! The Disco 3 and 4 look ideal (4 is well out of budget though :(), and the features/benefits advertised on...

There is a piece of stiff wire, about 3" long that goes from the back of the front door barrel to the door catch. It basically makes the door lock/unlock when the key is turned. It is a 200tdi if that makes any difference. No central locking or anything exotic. What is it called???? Anybody...

a pair of little buggers were caught trying to nick my 110 last night. Not sure if they were after an old car that was easy to nick for a ride home, or specifically a defender. Young couple, bloke and woman, few tools on them, charged with interfering with a vehicle. no doubt a slap on the wrist...

i have a problem with my 200tdi defender over heating. It has always had stable temperature whilst i have had it, but today it is running almost into the red. It is an original factory fit 200tdi, not a conversion. The top hose gets hot, the bottom hose doesnt get warm at all. the viscous...

Hi, I have done a search but cant find the answer. How long would a garage take to replace the valve stem seals on a 200tdi defender- either removing the head, or if they can do it without? a bit of blue smoke on startup, which goes within a few seconds, from what i have read is a symptom...

a couple of weeks into defender ownership, and i am finding a few electrical issues on my 110- nothing unexpected and nothing mission critical! I am wondering whether a multimeter might be a useful tool, in diagnosing what the problem may be on components, but that is the limit of my knowledge...

Are there any part suppliers who will have the normal defender parts in stock in Leeds, or is the best bet mail order from Rimmers/Paddocks/Craddock etc? I am after some door barrels to start with, but i dont doubt that i will need other bits in the coming months, not least some door repair...

I have just bought a defender, but have found that i have no sidelights, front or rear. one headlight works, and both rears, so i assume that I need to replace a bulb for the missing headlight. Where do I start with the sidelight problem- I cant believe that it is 4 blown bulbs! cheers Mark

hi everybody. just bought my first defender, to be used as a daily drive and for lugging timber and beehives about. It is a 110 200tdi csw. currently white, but i plan to coach paint it with one of the heritage greens in the summer.
