The wife has been on at me about selling it so we can get down to one car. I've dropped the asking price to 9,500 - anyone interested or any thoughts on how that sounds for this?

Ya I had fixed that at the same time.

LOL - ya sorry - MOT until Apr 19'

Time to sell my much loved Land Rover Defender 90. As the 3rd owner, I've had this for a couple of years and serviced every 10k miles. It has MOT until April 2019 and drives smooth with little of the usual rattles or noise. Since I've had it, I've done the wheel bearings, callipers, breaks...

Hey all, Looking for a little help. Finally, after months of worrying about it - it finally happened. The door key broke off in the lock. I wasn't worried - I was one step ahead! I had already bought a barrel set and keys for my 2000 TD5. So today I started pulling it apart thinking it was...

Thanks guys - appreciate the tips. I've checked everything, crimped the hub nut and feel much better now! Especially since I'm heading up north this weekend :)

Okay - so after what seemed like a successful weekend I replaced the discs, callipers and break pads on my TD5 90. All came off and went on back okay - strangely enough for me as usually something goes wrong :) (well it started to the weekend before then but I caught it before I broke the...

I'm needing some quick advice before I have to start sending parts back. I've had to replace my rear calipers and discs for a while now. Weather was good so I quickly ordered some parts only to then realise that I wasn't paying attention or they were mis-labelled. So today - weather perfect -...

I'm thinking it's the turbo but looking for a second opinion. When I shut off the engine even after a shortish run I hear a slowly spinning down noise. It's like a fan slowly loosing momentum. The only thing I can think of is its the turbo spinning down and the bearings are starting to go. Any...

I'm looking at the same thing. I pulled the PTO cover off but was a bit worried about pulling out the gear to have a full look....can you just pull it out?

Okay - so its been a few weeks since I last asked about this but I've just this weekend been able to have a look at it. I have a TD5 that has a bit of a cluck when taking up or off drive train tension. After some helpful suggestions I think its a worn spline on the transmission. So I pulled...

okay - thanks. How much play should it have with the handbreak on? Should it move at all? What's normal?

Anyone else have any ideas? I'm thinking I need to sort something in the next few weeks.

I've been trying to find some references to it 'rolling' so much with the handbrake on but I've not found anything so far. It doesn't feel right that it should roll so much - is that normal?

Okay - so I put the handbrake on - put it in first and started to rock it back and forth. Firstly it rolls about a foot before stopping - which seems quite a bit. If it's rocked hard there it does hit the sound of a metal stop or light 'clank' If its in reverse it rolls about half...

Thanks I'll try that when I get back home this weekend!

Thanks for that. I've had a look at the aframe joint and its hard for me to tell but looks okay - how would you check this? Radius bushes are a bit old - and I would be comfortable replacing those - been thinking I should replace all the bushings so this would be the start. My gut is...

So after a trip up to the north coast and back I found the rumble under load getting a bit louder so thought it was time to finally investigate. From what I have been reading lately this is normally due to engine mounts (fine from what I can see), UJ (front's recently replaced - back ones look...

Sorry - maybe i'm missing something but I had a look at those disks. It definitely shows the part but has no part numbers :(

They were going to charge 18 for all three keys - i'll have a look on ebay and see what I can find
