    What's the best battery for a Defender 90 200tdi?

    Someone gave me the same advice, it frazzled and banged a little bit, I think something went wrong as it doesn't work at all now...:confused:;)

    MOT pass or fail (seat runners)

    Well that's a real bit of luck, it's the passenger side that decided to blow up. Thank you very much for your time! Much appreciated

    MOT pass or fail (seat runners)

    So I recently installed some aftermarket seats in the defender and unfortunately during modification one of the runners blew up into a million little ball bearings. Unfortunately because of this it's resulted in the runner no longer working *sigh* simple jobs always turn out to be the hard jobs...

    What axle is this?

    Yep! Had a stone fly in there and cause a few problems. Both discs have scored quite badly but will survive with just new pads, wanted to know the axle to confirm which pads to get but it's all sorted now, thanks!

    What axle is this?

    Back with yet another question, sorry guys! As the title suggests, could anyone tell me what axle this is? Got to get two new disks and pads for the rear. I'm pretty sure it's a Disco 1? Many thanks!

    200 TDI intercooler upgrade

    Hi Dag, Thanks for replying! I would be happy with that but would I have to shunt the radiator over to the center to allow for the pipes? Or are both input and output on the same side of the intercooler? I have installed a boost pin, boost ring and tweaked the fuel pump which is why I'm...

    Land Rover defender maintenance, what fluids do I need?

    So if I use ATF Dextron 3 for Gearbox, Smith and Allen EP90 for diff. I imagine EP90 will be too thin for the swivels, what am I better off using for those?

    Land Rover defender maintenance, what fluids do I need?

    EEK, that's the information I have from the previous owner (he wrote it on the service booklet) which I have only just checked. I am about to do the first maintenance run on it simply because I had fueling problems recently and the fuel filter looked as if it had never been changed! (changed it...

    Hi Dippypud, They were removed from a Disco 1 300TDI, the only mod was installing a short bell-housing. Many thanks!

    200 TDI intercooler upgrade

    Thanks for the response everyone, I have been toying with the idea of getting a front mounted intercooler with a full frame sized radiator at the back of it like the TD5's have. The problem is that I can't find a kit that has both the intercooler and radiator supplied and would I need a frame...

    200 TDI intercooler upgrade

    Hi there, As the title suggests, I am looking to upgrade the intercooler on my 200 TDI. I have just fitted a boost pin and quickly realised I'm not running at capacity because my old intercooler is more of a wind shield than anything of purpose. I'm looking to upgrade to a double depth 116mm...

    Defender wing indicator cuts out all other indicators

    Thank you very much for the replies, I'll have a look at them over the weekend and let you all know how I get on. I still can't quite get my head around why it's doing it, but perhaps it will explain itself the further I dig. In response to lightning: I understand your argument but these...

    Defender wing indicator cuts out all other indicators

    Hi Mick, thanks for the reply. The upgrade I did was behind the dash with an RDX earth kit. I will definitely look into your suggestion, where would I find the diode fix? I am trying to install some side sweep LEDs. What I can't understand is why normal bulbs work but these ones won't? Many...
