How do I adjust the handbrake on my 06 td5 90? Got the haynes manual but cant find the nut for the cable when Im underneath!!!!

thanks for the advice gents.......checking out machine mart.

Looking to buy a torque wrench, just wondering what range of torque levels I should be looking for as there are a few different ones available?

Thanks James, just one more thing, whats the difference between GL4 and GL5 oils?

Tried a search before anyone says......:violin: I'm servicing the defender today and will be doing the gearbox, transfer box, axles etc......read a few topics and a bit confused about what oils to buy. Can some kind person tell me what oils to get for these............ thanks Alan

Ive got a Hannibal roofrack and access ladder on my 90. Was on it when I bought it 2 yrs ago and have never actually used it....thinking of selling it, anyone potentially interested? How much would it go for?

Still got the original grabbers on my TD5.....5yrs old and still plenty of tread left, 31k on the clock.

How much do they take for a stage 1 remap for a defender td5?

Its fecking awful...................even the wife thinks so!!! They should just scrap the defender line and replace it with an all new vehicle with a fancy name that rich housewifes will like.........Landrover Juke!!!

Is it ok to mix different brands of oil if they are the same type....i.e 5w30 thanks

td5tool.....if you get one,iwould be interestedto hear how it went, what model, benefits etc.

Its now got more chips in it than a McDonalds frier and am struggling to get my lips on it without cuttin them for a drink of ma tea. Looked in...

Use mine every day and its the main family car (wife got a corsa) 8000miles in the past 12 months and loved every one of them.

cheers

yep, going to replace the full cylinder, bit of a price difference between genuine LR (£77) and some of the other aftermarket ones ranging from £15 to £40ish...........being a tightarse what aftermarket make should I go for?

Thanks guys, thats what I thought. my haynes manual makes ref to repairing the cylinder with new seals etc and I see kits online for doing this.....would you recommend this or go for a straight replacement? cheers

Just noticed a damp patch on my rubber mat under the clutch pedal, had a feel and its an oily residue, checked the clutch and there is also an oily residue on the arm :mad: Any ideas? Whats the cure? Is it hard to do?
