    05-06 Discovery 3. Advice please.

    Hi gents. I have had a Defender 110 TD5 Double cab for 6 or 7 years now and i think i know it sort of inside out! But alas i am now thinking of changing it for a Discovery 3 for more comfort and better m-way miles with the family! The sale of the Double cab should fetch £10.5K but i know...

    Awfull shake of the steering/front wheels

    Hi. I had exactly the same problem at Easter time. It was the steering drop arm that had worn. Bit of a sod to do but easy enough! Sadly as a result of the 'wobbling' i now think that the steering universal joint just by the bulk head has worn. Another job to do eh! Hope you get to the...

    Defender DCPU towbar!

    Good morning peeps. I needed to swap the tow bar on my DCPU over the weekend for a drop plate adjustable one. However my dad was a little over enthusiastic with the crack bar and when he tried to undo one of the bolts on the cross member of the Land Rover the 'nut/stud' that is welded behind...

    Series 3 axle?

    Hi everyone! Not too sure if this is the right place to ask, but here goes! I'm starting to build an off road trailer and i've been given an old Land Rover axle. But i'm not sure if it's a series 2 or series 3 one? See pic. It was a right mess when i got it! Had grass growing out of it! So...

    The best purging procedure?

    Hi guys. Not sure if this is the right place to ask but i need some advice asap! I've recently replaced the fuel filter and fuel filter head on my 110 TD5, i was advised by a local landy specialist to purge the fuel system by method no.2 (igg. on and 5 pedal presses) But my landy will not...

    What MPG do you get?

    Exactly the same as my TD5 110 DCPU! But in the summer it definately seems to go further? Glad i found this thread as i thought there was something wrong with my Landy! :) Pughy.

    Lose of throttle!

    I have a Defender TD5 110 DCPU on a 53 plate. Last year i had the throttle potentiometer replaced as it was faulty (Engine managment light would come on and the throttle would do nothing) However, whilst greenlaning 2 weeks ago the same thing happened again. My initial thought was 'bugger...

    Personally i use the central door locking and the factory fitted alarm. In additon to these i have fitted a PIR sensor shed alarm. Which cannot be tampered with without dismantling the dash! When movement is detected it has a 110db alarm go off. Just incase no one hears that i have a baby...

    'fitting my decat and straight through' Becomes 'wtf have i done to my engine?!'

    Glad to hear you got it sorted eventually. I have a TD5 110 DCPU which has had a few sensor problems. I have replaced the MAF sensor and the accellerator potentiometre (spelling??) Now that was a worry! Driving along and wham, no accelleration and an engine warning light! luckily i was only 1...

    235/75/16 BFG Mud Terrain rub on trailing arms

    Hi Plook. I have 285/75 R16's on LR Boost alloys on my TD5 DCPU. They did rub on the trailing arms originally but adjusted the stop bolts and they don't catch anymore. I have the turning circle of a QEII but they don't rub! :) Pughy.

    IF YOUR IN THE North West suspected gang activity!

    Hi lads and lasses. I'm getting a bit paranoid about all these bloody thefts of Landy's recently. So when i was paranoid about my little girl waking and stirring at night we bought a baby monitor. Same thing with my landy now! If i hear any noise then i'll be out light a shot! I'll definately...

    Spare wheel

    Not sure mate. Like i said i got mine off ebay. There was someone selling a load of em on there from ex. scottish power landy's. Something about they are not allowed to carry a spare wheel as the drivers aren't allowed to change the wheels? They have to call a breakdown service! So i got mine...

    Spare wheel

    No that is the 1st one i had that i used with a steel wheel. This is the one i have now : http://www.rjlandrovers.co.uk/Images/SPARE-WHEEL-CARRIER-002.jpg And the alloy wheel faces outwards so you don't damage it on the carrier.

    Spare wheel

    Hi. I think i know what you mean as i had the same problem when i changed the spare wheel i had to a alloy one. There are two types of spare wheel brackets as well as the nuts being different. Type one has 3 long bars with threads on the end for the nuts. This is the early one for the which...
