Reading about there are some people saying the top hose is better as it measures the engine temperature as opposed to the cooled water from the radiator. That makes some sense as its the engine you don't want to overheat I suppose. Based on that there must be a suitable higher temp top hose...

Thanks :) The existing thermo switch is an inline on the top hose so the top hose is already cut (Previous owner). I'm looking to install an inline replacement just for convenience for now then maybe swap to bottom when I have more time. I'd seen the X-Eng ones but as you say they all...

Hi folks, Looking for some recommendations. My Defender 110 CSW 300tdi has an electric fan fitted and the thermo switch is stuck open. Looking to replace it. The thermo switch is on the Top hose to the rad and i'd like to keep it there if possible. I know the recommended placement is the...

Had a think about how to remove the play and came up with cutting the end off a thick wall plug, cutting down one side and sliding over the spindle. No more clunking!!! + the chamfered end wont destroy the rubber grommit. Fingers crossed that will last a while :D Thanks for the idea ;)

Wondering if anyone can help? My driver side wiper spindle is moving in and out about 5mm causing it to knock every time it wipes. Gets annoying! The wipers work but is there an easy way to remove the in/out play in the spindle?

Not checked live feed as dont have time before its running again and usually at side of road. I think the ignition relay/switch is OK as all the other electrics stay on including the radio. Just the engine cuts. Reckon i'll try the immobiliser fix AMR4956 (assuming I have a spider on the...

Hi Folks, Looking for some advice. My Defender '98 County SW 300tdi is cutting out. It has been very intermittent with months inbetween but is getting worse and happened a few times in two days. Theres no misfires, all running fine then just driving along and the engine cuts out. All other...

Don't want to replace the dash with a TD5 one. I want to upgrade the existing if possible. Its just the Warning light bulbs. The gauge lights are fine. Thought there might have been replacement LED warning light bulbs for indicator/handbrake etc. I've not found any anywhere. Do they...

Hi Folks, My Dash warning lights SUCK. Not visible in daylight. Ive been searching n vain for a way to upgrade them. Anyone know a good way to get brighter bulbs in there without melting electrics? Any known good LED kits available? Defender 1998 CSW 300tdi Cheers :)

Ideal thanks :) Thats me sorted.

Does anyone know where I can get the "screw hole clips" that the stop\tail lights screw on to? One of mine is missing. Its the tiny plate the screw grips into that is attached to the bodywork. I don't know what you'd call it! Defender 98 CSW 300tdi Cheers :D
