Again, thanks for the advice. I’ve not heard anything untoward from the engine bay. Likely I was hearing something rattle underneath when I was trying to suss out the fuel pump noise. Idling is quite quick, or at least quicker than it had been pre-fuel liine connector replacement. So...I would...

It is a TD5. As to the centrifugal oil filter spinning, I couldn’t be sure what that sounds like. Coincidentally, earlier today, I had thought there was an additional (non-engine related) noise while the engine was running but figured it could be everything or anything. There is no obvious signs...

Cheers for the response.

For a 2001, 110, what would the average running time for the fuel pump after switching on ignition? I’ve had some diffs with the fuel lines of late, requiring replacing the connectors at the tank end and the noise of the pump seems to have been affected. Is the length of running time, in my...

My td5 ( 2001) has been using significant amounts of water. No obvious leaks. But constant driving would require frequent stops to allow for cooling and then 3 or 4 litre water refill. The gauge isn’t rising above the half way mark at any of these moments and will usually rest at the below half...

So, firstly, thank you to those that took the trouble to reply. However, it turns out that the damage was done in the refitting, or more specifically when the fuel tank was been removed and a fuel line was fractured. Unfortunately, this was known to the culprit who had decided not to mention it...

Hello friends, Today should have been a good day with the eventual replacement of the crumbling 110 rear crossmember. But as these things go all is not well. After the welder had fitted the new crossmember and as I set off there was a significant whining noise from over my left shoulder. It...

Thanks lightning. Advice was welcome and useful.

Thanks for the reply. Btw, keeping an eye on your td5 turbo + and if the price does drop then...

Probably unlikely but, don't ask then don't get. I'm needing a decent rear door card. If it's in your gift then I would need it posted.

Advice has been duly noted and, hopefully I'm up to following it without making things any worse. Thanks to all again, your help has been very much appreciated.

Cheers for that Kwakerman. I get the drift of what you're saying about the upgraded type spring. At the minute, I'm confused as to why I'm able to use the pedal, without any apparent spring that I can see on the bulkhead or around the lower regions of the pedal. First I thought the previous...

Like your style, and knuckles have been getting a battering of late. I will try to reconnect although to be honest I am thinking that it's going to make pedal pushing a lot more challenging, and that might've been why it had been removed. Don't have much mechanical nous and so, the reference to...

ThNks for the quick reply. I've just noticed this problem today, and there doesn't appear to be any difference tote clutch pedal play at least that's the early indication. I had seen the newer spring mod' somewhere else online in a general scan, and thought this had been the source of the...

in the picture from a 110 drivers footwell currently being "reviewed", you can see a loose spring, hanging without attachment or purpose. Can anyone shed light on whether this is the remains of an upgrade of sorts to the clutch pedal in a previous life? And if it is something that really can be...

Not sure if these seats have been sold, or if they would fit without too much grief into the Defender110 but, I'll have to ask where they are sitting now? I am in Northern Ireland so collecting in person presents a challenge as you would imagine.

Just found this thread, and a most interesting and informative piece. However, it seems to have died a death without warning and what became of the step by step pictures that were promised is anybody's guess.
