    A bit jumpy in low revs...

    Hi everyone, Defender 110 (1999) - Drives great, but doesn't like low revs, predominantly in 2nd gear, he gets all fussy and starts 'kangaroo' jumping??? I am pretty sure its nothing to do with the gearbox or clutch as otherwise drives like a dream. Instinctively it feels like fuel or maybe an...

    Spare wheel...

    I was advised to put the spare off my Defender TD5 in either the back or on the roof rack to save the rear door hinges. Has anyone else done this and did you blank off the spare wheel bracket with anything? Cheers

    Incessant Creaking

    No, its not the same noise, and yes, I will indeed need to check to see where its coming from :D I guess the question was designed to glean others opinions on whether it might be the foam gaskets between dashboard and air ducts, and if so, how difficult are they to access?

    After market temp sensor/gauge?

    Thanks added image now - have you fitted one of these on a TD5? If so I am curious where on the coolant pipes you fitted it (not much room on the TD5) What size did you use - most videos show a 32mm which I bought but is FAR too small What aftermarket gauge did you buy? Thanks everyone!

    After market temp sensor/gauge?

    I have a 2001 TD5 I bought one of the sensors below, but I am having second thoughts - its just another potential source of a coolant leak. If you did fit an aftermarket Gauge, how did you wire it up and what sensor did you use? Thanks!
