Hi all, I'm considering some proper 4x4 off roading tuition and I've noticed that I have these people just down the road from me: 4x4 Off Road Driving Course at Castle Combe Circuit They seem to do their tuition in Discos, though I guess the stuff you learn translates to a Defender quite...

I'd did the clutch test and both were fine. I did have a leak from my gearbox and it hasn't been topped up for ages so maybe that's it....

Thanks for all the responses chaps. I'll try those clutch tests at lunchtime... Regards, Andy

How can I tell if it's the clutch?

Yes! It is like really mild curry... Any idea what might be happening?

Hi all, I've got a funny smell coming into the cab of my T5 90 (1999) after going up any significant hill (only when the engine is warmed up). It's not an unpleasant smell,it's a bit like frankfurters... Anyone know what it might be please? Regards, Andy

Hi all, I now have 2 children and want to put rear seats and windows in my 90 hard top. I'm based in Chippenham, Wiltshire and have been talking to Tim Fry Land Rover in Cheltenham. Before I go ahead and book it in, I wondered: 1) is there anyone more local to me who could do this that...

Hi all, I'm sure this question gets asked a lot though I wonder if most of you guys have immobilizers/alarms? I don't, and have lots of insurers won't touch me. Has anyone recommendations for cheap insurance that accepts a no security TD5? I'm with Admiral at the moment and am fed up with...

Thanks. It's a 2000 (W reg) TD5. Would this has the sensors do you think?

Hi all, I recently had a wheel bearing replaced (front right) and since then the handbrake light on the dashboard has been coming on when going down hill? Does anyone have any ideas what might have caused this, before I take it into the garage that did the bearing? Thanks in advance...

Thanks for your help everyone.

Hi all, I've had an intermittent banging or grating coming from under my TD5 90 over the last couple of months. It's got worse over the last couple of days and as I was driving at 35mph yesterday there was a constant grating sound coming from under me when all of a sudden one of, or all the...

Just been out for a spin. Here's the conclusion: The rumble does occur when slowing down without applying the brakes as it does if you do apply the brakes. The rumble does not occur when slowing down if the landy is not in gear. The rumble happens consistently when slowing through 40mph and...

I think it's only when braking though I rarely slow down without breaking. Cheers, Andy

Hi all, It's my first time here so please be gentle :) I have a w reg Defender 90 and ever since I took it on a fairly long journey a couple of weeks ago, I'm getting a rumble/vibrating sound from the front whenever I slow down through 40 mph and sometimes 30mph. Pushing the clutch in...
