Occasionally, not always, Diesel leaks from the 110 td5. Anybody else experience this?

My 2002 TD5 Defender is using half a pint of coolant per 100 miles. It seems to be escaping out the reservoir cap regardless of how hard I tighten it. Anyone got suggestions!

The rear crossmember on my 2002 Defender 110 TD5is rusted. Can I replace it wthout getting a new chassis?

Thanks guys. I will go with the majority advice and tell him to hire a van

A friend who wants me to move a number of loads of clay a distance of 40 miles has told me my Defender td5 has the capacity to pull 3.5 tons at a time. As I have just got a new clutch fitted, I was wondering if it would be foolish to oblige him. Any ideas?

Lent it to my son who is moving house. He just rang to say he is too knackered to bring it back until tomorrow.

at the special vehicles place they make defender emergency vehicles from a common template that is bigger than the ordinary vehicle. i parked my special vehicle beside an ordinary one and noticed everything was bigger on mine, size etc than the ordinary one.

I parked my 02 commercal defender beside another defender in a supermarket carpar. I noticed mine was taller than the one beside me. the wheels on both vehicles were the same height, so it was a height difference in the actual bodies themselves. Mine has a Keith Gott, M.O.D supplier sticker on...

While towing a used electricity pole over rough terrain for about a hundred yards. I noticed a smell from the defender, (td5). Now, a couple of days later the smell only appears when I engage reverse. Have I done some damage?

I jerked the hand brake too tightly and it snapped:mad: . I removed the cover on the handbrake to discover the cable was still attached, so the fault must be further down. Any ideas on how to fix it:confused:

have a side locker or hatch on mine, was wondering what the previous owner put it on for, but cannot get over how useful it is for getting access without opening the door

prior to using a drill on my defender I disconnected the battery. When I reconnected I noticed an extra connection beside the positive terminal which looked as if it would fit snugly on the positive terminal. I am wondering was it connected to the positive terminal and had I forgot to add it to...

Thanks Hughsie, it was was a breather tub, brought it back to the dealer. While I was there I priced a new winch and bumper and was quoted 900 euro or 1200 sterling. Anyone got ideas for a cheaper way of doing it without compromising safety

following an off road jaunt through bracken and bumpy bits I noticed a rubber tube (maybe a quarter of an inch thick and hollow)hanging down from the rear axle onto the ground. It originated on the top of the round bar to the left of the rear axle (looking at it from the back). It ends with a 90...

would the heat of the exhaust not melt the plastic and is it blocking the vent??

Thanks to Terry 01, Odenne, Hughesy and Treworgey 90. Will look closer at Terrys photos, try Odennes 3 positions, check out Treworgey 90's side mirror and if they fall fail resign myself to Hughesy's philosophical view and try having fun with my clothes off in the landy. Thanks again, appreciate...
