We go to Wiltshire or West Berkshire on occasion if you fancy coming along. Usually post up in the Green lane section before we go.

Dry and dusty again. Twas my son's girlfriends first trip, don't think she was that enthusiastic about such activities. Only did a few hours in the end. Will get a video done sometime soonish.

If the fuel pump isn't running and you have checked everything else then maybe it's the fuel pump itself? Quite common to fail.

I have grease in mine, from factory, and the swivels are chrome. (Td5 90) My son's has early D1 swivels and they are chrome and has ep90. It has a fill hole and drain hole. Not sure the finish on the swivel is relevant, could be wrong though.

What does the tuning company say?

Update…. 3good days of lanes. We decided not to do strata as lots of bikes out on the Taffy Dakar. They warned us 1 normal lane had a landrover off the edge & rolled down the bank & been there a few days. We was able to miss the section...

Ok, reading into it they didn't have a clue so changed the lot. I saw a video on YouTube about a fellow with a D5 which needed a new loom, Land Rover had the vehicle for months waiting for a loom. I think you will find many manufacturers don't...

So, what are your plans for your Defender in terms of using it? (Apart from fixing it) I presume it's not your only vehicle.

We just picked it up from garage, just a brake shoe set not the drum. Front and rear flange set. Had been leaking a while! Let's hope that's it for now 🤞 Thanks for all the help and you all diagnosed it from just a bad photo! 😊

Sounds about right for Land Rover. Being an older out of factory warranty then I don't understand why an auto electrician couldn't have repaired the wire? Did you get to see the actual faulty wire?

As mentioned above you need to put it on a rolling road before and after to see the difference. Anything which claims a hp increase needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, be it air filters, exhausts, tune etc.

Day 5…. New wiper blade needed(replace 1 now the other has broke) Filled screen wash up Checked oil Kicked tyres All good & 180miles drive home.

Doubt you need a new drum, maybe the equivalent flange and seal as per the front one. It's advisable to replace the shoes but I don't bother to no ill effect. Probably cheap enough and since you are paying for them to be taken out might aswell...

I usually would but Mrs K was out so I thought I’d use the hoover whilst she wasn’t looking!😁

I guess it's possible you haven't adjusted the rockers/injectors correctly.

I use a dust pan and brush inside mine.

Washed it and polished it. Hoovered out the inside too. I got carried away… 😂

Just had a look on mine 1 comes from top fuel filter connection and is the supply to the IP 2 pumps to fuel filter , the other union on lift pump is from tank 3 is the fuel spill line from injectors and back to tank via a banjo union

I also wouldn't be putting 80psi in a tyre . Mine are about 36psi.

12v going to the stop solenoid on the injection pump, gravity feed some fuel and starter motor to battery is about it. Take the 12v off the stop solenoid to stop it.

Cup of Tea and a Fag

I'd start with a cup of coffee. Keep us updated.

If I am feeling brave I shall do that but I am going to ignore it all until next filter change.

That’s what I did but no idea if it’s the right way. It seemed a lot more effort to take the back plate of the housing off as well to rivnut direct to the chassis as there were two more bolts holding it on that definitely would have snapped and...

Welcome, pretty sure you can buy new ones. Try Ebay and such like. Join the Series2club or the Series123 club, sure they could help point you in the right direction.

Thank you for the update. Looking at your photo the rivnuts actually attach to the mounting plate, rather than the chassis itself, is that correct? I tried one bolt and that has snapped off, 100% the other bolt will also break. I have it wedged...

I’m working but will look forward to seeing more of your photos and videos. 😁

Was due to drive strata & spotted loads of motors heading that way. There is a small diversion route due to damage & been authorised etc by council. I do take photos of motors/idiots & have reported them. Normally stop & ask a few questions &...

I can't bring myself to do it.
