    Sorry, the post was unclear. It was in response to the original post listing all the positive attributes of the freelancer. “Character “ was not on the list. Admittedly I did not read the remaining 40000 pages of replies and realise that the post may have been a bit out of context in regards to...

    TD5 Rear Reverse Lights Wiring

    I wired up my LED flood light directly to the existing reverse light. When I select reverse, it comes on. Simple. I also wired in an isolation switch for the flood light so I can isolate it for normal driving conditions and MOT tests etc. I’m not saying it’s the best option, but it’s simple and...

    Masai Rear Drawer - D90

    I’ve been looking at similar products and they are all very expensive; I’m planning on buying some heavy duty drawer runners and building my own. I’m sure it’ll come in much cheaper and hopefully work just as well. I’m still in the very first stages of planning though, so unfortunately, sorry I...

    Cuby Box or Centre Seat

    It completely depends on your personal use. I’ve previously had a central seat and although it’s handy to seat an extra person the position for that passenger and the driver is very uncomfortable. I now have a cubby box instead which is very useful in other ways (especially as the dafender Td5...

    Snorkel tops

    Fitted to my defender Td5 is a snorkel with a mushroom top. It came fitted to the vehicle when I brought it; I don’t know what make it is. My question to you- if you wish to give your opinion- is, does the ‘mushroom’ style top restrict air flow and therefore impede power; would a ‘ram air’ or...

    Yes!! I think fresh diesel may be a good idea after reading some stuff about stale fuel. Thanks

    The battery isn’t great, I admit, but it has charged up and is turning over, just not firing

    Thanks for that. She hasn’t refilled the diesel, so could stale diesel be the issue?

    Waking up a sleepy Defender.

    My Td5 Defender has been dormant on the driveway for 3 years while I’ve been away. my wife is trying to start it in preparation for my return- whenever Covid19 goes away- she’s reconnected the battery and fixed the loose connection on the starter motor. It turns over but won’t fire. Does it need...
