    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Changed the air filter, oil filters and oil. When i bought the vehicle 3 months ago the stealer claimed he would service it first but looking at the state of the filters it hasnt been done for a long time :mad:

    TD5 90 ticking noise above 2200 rpm

    My 1999 td5 defender has started to make a ticking noise which starts above 2200 rpm and increases with engine speed when accelerating but vanishes when i ease off the accelerator. It doesn’t seem to do it in 1st or 2nd but only in the higher gears and only when the engine is hot. I have...

I have borrowed a couple of high lift jacks today and the movement between each step is too much to adjust the height so i think i will get 3 more standard jacks and use them. I did think about getting rock sliders with jacking points so i can level it from the sides...

    Leveling a parked defender

    I have tried a couple of bottle jacks but they need several bits of wood to get them high enough to reach the chassis. i found some nice motorhome leveling systems but they cost thousands!

    Leveling a parked defender

    I am using my 90 csw for high level photography with a 50ft mast and am finding it difficult to get the vehicle level using caravan ramps under the wheels due to body roll from the suspension. I have looked at the jacks which caravans have fitted and wondered about fitting 4 of these to the...
