check the green 30A as well!

Um, what does this mean?

Try the big blue 60A fuse under the bonnet. Mine went recently and it was a combination of that and the pink relay behind the dash that needed replacing

does the whole chassis need replacing or just the back half? if just the back have you thought about a half-chassis swap? I used RCP or Replacement Chassis Parts and they were excellent! you'll need a good welder too!

very common, usually because of play on the clutch release lever if it is this, you need get used to slipping the clutch and not dumping it

There's a sticky out bit on the original steering wheel that links into the indicator/dim-dip/horn switch that then cancels the indicator when you spin the wheel the other way. When you put on a new wheel, 9 times out of 10, there isn't one on it. Mine's the same. You can either get used to...

I would remove the prop to eliminate either the Tx box or diff. Tx box might be trickier to sort out!

rusty rims is the normal cause!

epsom green is metallic so I reckon yours is coniston. it's a bit of minefield trying to find the right green especially as so many "previous owners" use random no standard land rover greens to respray their cars! I spent 2 years trying to find the right green only to find out it was standard...

green

I think it was 1996 but I could be wrong o_O

I could be wrong but I don't think aircon systems are full of water? Some special coolant or something. Might it be coolant from the heater matrix

with that much "water" can't see how the aircon is still working?

could just be condensation from the aircon coming through the facia? not sure it would work as well if it were leaking?

what he said! maybe it just fell out!

this is the manual for a 300tdi but I imagine it's pretty much the same as a TD5? do you have central locking? Anyway, Page 331 on here: http://www.landroverweb.com/Pdf-files/Manuals/Defender-300-tdi-workshop-maunual-1997.pdf

if you want to use the same keys, then I guess that would eb the way to go, otherwise you can buy a full set of lock barrels for less than £20, i.e. http://r.ebay.com/Oa7sQB

Doesn't look fried or anything but difficult to tell with just a photo

they may not have spotted them straight away!

looks like continuous movement to me
