Howdy Do I need to take of my radiator, and fan in order to take off my alternator??? Any tips on alternator removal would be very welcome. Many Thanks

I am having real problems with my 1999 TD5 Defender. No charge coming from the alternator, which was newly fitted about a year ago. It has been mentioned, that it might not be the alternator, but the rectifier. Where is my rectifier????? Many Thanks

Howdy I have a 1999 TD5 Defender. I had a new ( or a replacement alternator) fitted last year. At the beginning of the week, I noticed the battery labouring a little before the engine fired. 12 hours later, the battery died (1 of 2 batteries as it is a Land Rover Special vehicles- ex-utility...

Howdy I think I may need to change my water pump, as cooling system seems to playing up. I have been told by my un-trustworthy mechanic, that I should change another related part at the same time (thick local Spanish accent, and didn't understand exactly what part he was talking about). Any...

Thanks for that, I'll get a wheel off tomorrow and have a look.

I am unsure where the spacers would actually be. Anyone got any pics???

Thanks for feedback. Temp gauge working normally. Blows, but only cold air...

I am sure most of you folks with the witty wise cracks get out into the mud, what, once a month if the wife allows, and relish's your little bit of mud tourism. I know I could have probably worded my question a little more intelligently, but I wondered if there was an issue with wheel spacers...

I agree! It's taken me ages to get used to this fly by wire deal. My old 200TDi was much easier to drive. I seriously think they have got the electronic accelerator pedal wrong. I just cannot drive the damn thing on rough ground, as any slight touch of the pedal starts the Landy kangaro-oing.

Cold here at the moment!!!! My heating doesn't work. Bofore I get ripped off by a dealer, are there any simple checks to get some warm air flowing inside my cab??? Thanks

When I bought my TD5 100 defender, I also bought new wheels and tyres. I was enticed in buying 265 wheels and tyres. I live down a very bumpy dirt track, and am bored of the Landy being splattered by mud all down the sides, as the tyres are wider than the wheel arches. Is there a simple...

It seems that the front prop shaft on my early (T reg) TD5 is caput. I have a brand new one still in plastic which I bought for my old 200TDi (fantastic vehicle). Can I use this on my TD5??? Many Thanks

Help!!!! I have just gone to turn my hazard lights off at exactly the same time as turning the key in the ignition, and all the electrics have failed. Nothing electrical works!!! I have checked all the fuses, and everything seems ok. Please help............ Cheers

Hi To Everyone. I have an early 1999 TD5 Defender 110. I have on going problems with this Landy that all came to a head today. I have had a major oil leak which turned out to be the front crank shaft seal. I picked it up from the Land rover dealership and 24 hours and 30 kms later the turbo...

Sorry Chaps. Head up own arse syndrome............... I have a 1999 TD5.

Hi My serpentine belt blew on Friday, and I have got my hands on a new one today. Can I fit this my self??? If so, is there a knack or a few tricks??? Please help again.................. Thanks

Sounds probable that the oil cooler has gone then. Jesus, I am having bad luck with this Landy. Anyone recommend where to get an oil cooler at a decent price!! Anyone know how much one will cost?? Cheers

OK, so here is the deal..... I bought a second hand 1999 Defender TD5 recently. I drove it from Lancaster to Southern Spain. 10 miles away from home (here in Spain), the cylinder head decided to blow up. 2,500 euros and three weeks later, the alternator packs in. I have just received a call...

Weird! Could this be the alternator?? Battery was absolutely fine yesterday. I went out for a run today so the batteries ( I have a split charging system, so have two batteries) were fine.

Hi To All I have just gone to start my 1999 TD5 Defender, and it was hard to start. On the third attempt to start it, the starter motor stoped turning over, and there was just a very loud and rapid clicking noise. Is this my starter motor gone?? Please Help...............
