Even to hot for the cat

Thanks Shedload, really appreciate this !

Hi Defender 110 Td5 re-assembly around the corner, advice needed on the following, please: a) Brake Calipers: Can someone please let me know where I can get four new brake calipers with the same reputation and quality as Lockheed? b) Cardan...

I got one too in my post about John Lewis. I had typoed "the" as "shte". Dunno wot you did wrong!

those i never put on in the end, didn't want to risk it lol

Steering rack?

Not sure how the pas pump could affect the road holding. Did you replace the nuts and bolts in the suspension arms? Steering column UJs? Mine doesn't have an inch free play in the steering wheel Drop arm? I wouldn't presume a recon box is any good.

The thing about Kseal and stuff like it is that it can get you out of a hole. I was in France getting ready to go back to Blighty for dottir's wedding and then to pick up a new car trailer to tow with the wife's car on, back to France. I had...

Dont think you will get £200 for tatty faded facelift headlights. Paid half that for good ones..

Sort of. Tratter is a Ferrari in overalls, FL is something in pink hot pants. Both have the same green oval.

Technically not true as when building a kit car I make up lots of stuff out of new steel. Also true if I do anything for the house. But yep, avoid welding cars as much as possible and if forced then anything that will make a decent patch gets...

Are thay land rovers 😦

Last week, I listed my 2004 Jag XJ6 on our NZ auction site and someone made an offer which I accepted. It's amazing how people buy cars without looking at them. I never met the guy - all done on the phone and electronic banking. And now, he is...

He bought the wrong Landy? :vb-headbang:

You dont need rear seats for an mot, but it will say on the advisory's that the rear seats were not fitted at the mot test.

Dodgy illegal number plates included too.... :D

Facelift ones are worth 200 sovs. The non FL tatty ones go in the bin.

I think the answer is to not trust the gauge and reset the trip metre every time and refill on mileage. I refill at 200miles as a maximum. I have played with my sender repeatedly, added additional earths to it etc, and it still only shows 3/4...

2005 TD5 still on the original pads and still plenty on them

Having spent a few hours scrambling around underneath mine and some awkward nooks and crannies I found, mostly for my sanity, that a bit of blue or green masking tape wrapped around or just stuck on all the terminals or connections I had checked...

Went a road trip to get a noo hydraulic hose made up the machine decided it needed a pee. 🤣 🤣 Had to go & get a 4 wire one as a 2 wire aint strong enough, tis raining so polishing the boat has halted.

err @Hippo whats your angry face for ???

Youll have to stick with the Borg warner transferecase because of the left hand drop propshafts. The LT230 is right hand drop. If you going to take P38 axels use the P38 air suspension too, the P38 air suspension is set up for solid axels while...

Have you correctly set the swivel preloads?

4 shraeder valves . I keep a set in a little tin in the boot for just such an emergency. Never had to use them since I bought them YET;)

Hi All, Anyone got any suggestions on why my 2004 TD5 110 is "nervous" on the road? I have explored the forum to death, and am all too aware of Defender Death wobbles and cruddy steering play etc... however when I am driving on A roads I find...

For a week or so old gals been a bit hesitant on pulling away especially uphill. Cut a long story short narrowed it down to MAP sensor. Had a discount code for the bay so ordered a brand new one for £27. Fitted yesterday and the difference is...

Put the rrc body onto an 80's G wagon chassis and running gear with the 6cyl mercs diesel engine and gain the hydraulic diff lockers as well. That thing would crawl up the side of a house if it could 🫵😎
