New coolant hose fitted, replacing the leaking one. Took a bit longer than I thought clips were a pain to fit.

Today I finally fitted a new Mountney Steering wheel and gave the EGR valve a clean, the deletion kit is on order. I've a coolant leak which looking at the pink crust round the top of the hose is coming from there, so that will be next, along with a replacement steering damper.

Kaae thanks for posting all that you've tried, I have a vibration that sits between 35 and 40, on accel and decel, so will look into what you have found to see where it gets me.

Between 35 and 40 miles and hour I get this random vibration, I can feel it through the accelerator pedal, whether accelerating or decelerating, if I knock it out of gear and coast it stops. you can hear it and it sounds like something is rubbing / vibrating. I've had it into a garage today and...

Cheers kermit_rr I had not thought of it that way.

the peeling of the clear lacquer layer on the roof on my 2000 W plated TD5 makes the paint work look a bit of a mess, whilst I could have it resprayed my question is would it make much difference to the resale value? I'm looking to sell it in the near future and wonder whether I'm wasting my...

Thanks Neilly, exactly what I'm looking for, a satisfied customer

Doh , fair point well made.. Its a 2000 W Defender TD5

I've been looking through a lot of the Remap threads and the idea really appeals and I am looking at having Stage 1 (+ maybe Intercooler). Does anyone have any recommendations for the Basingstoke, Hampshire area? Cheers Ade

Fair point. fuse puller not your eyesight, if it is why would it be there taped up? and not with the fuses

I've just been doing the clutch spring swap and came across this part which I have no idea what it is or what it is for. It's directly beneath the steering column underneath a plastic cover. Can anyone shed any light on what it is? Cheers

Search wins, this thread just saved me a whole world of pain, and that tip about the cable ties is absolute gold!

I'd be looking into it's MOT history online at https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history at least you will have an idea about what its failed on recently and an idea on what has been repaired.

Thats exactly what I was looking for! Need to sharpen up my searching skills, could have sworn I'd looked there #specsavers Cheers for the link!

Cheers Will have a look, I was hoping to just get the back foam but to be honest I might as well as sort out the covers which have seen better days, might put heated seat pads whilst I am at it.

I'm looking to refurbish the seats on my TD5, I'd found, bought and fitted replacement bases before I realised that there was a kit available which had the back and base. I have searched and can't find the replacement backs for sale on there own, has any one managed to source any? Thanks Ade

Managed to salvage the connector, clearing out the mastic and doing a bit of an interim connection on the wiring.(my soldering was so shocking I had to resort to a crimped connector) I've tightened up the connector since I took the picture so its now properly closed up.. however the Heater now...

Thanks, having looked up the part number you quoted I'd say that you are right.. I'll try and buy one and put it right.

So I've been chasing out my heating problems and came across this wiring issue. At some point in the past the blower wiring has been "modified" and I'd like to put it back to how it should be. What I don't know is what this connector is called and how it is supposed to be wired up. As you can...

is that a rear step or side step? and if rear how much?
