I’ve only had it a few weeks. It happened the night I got it and it happened last night. I bolted straight out of bed and didn’t spot anyone around. It’s a pretty quiet street. It’s on my driveway with another car parked in front of it, it’d be quite difficult to get out with that there.

So a couple of times now my TD5 alarm has gone off around midnight, and it’s loud. My wife is unhappy about this so it’s got to be my priority job. I’ve been looking round and it sounds like the ultrasonic movement sensor might be what’s setting it off, triggered by changes in the temperature...

I like that idea. Looking on eBay the sides don’t seem too expensive and I could prepare them before without having a Defender sat there with no roof. Plus I wouldn’t have to buy the window kit.

Nice to have confirmation that I can look into removing it. It looks like there did used to be glass in there because it looks like the rivets were drilled out. Even the glass in the rear door has been removed, I’m guessing it was to stop animals from smashing it while being transported. I was...

So I'm trying to make sense of the back of my SW 110. This is what the inside looks like: And the rest of it: It's a flat panel on the outside but it seems to sit slightly proud of the rest of the bodywork. also, on the inside the rivets look a little oddly placed but it does have a...

It’s a 110 Station Wagon.

Thanks, that’s exactly what I wanted to hear. That steel bar I removed just became my cheater bar.

So looking around the Internet I see that this appears to be normal on a Station Wagon. Looking around mine it looks as though the bulkhead might be behind the front seats and already have one of those reducing/reinforcing bars on it. Can anyone confirm this is how they’re done so I can drive...

I don’t know the difference between them but I suspect not, I thought they were basically the same tub but the SW had windows in the upper body. How would I tell? I assume the partition is homemade.

Another stupid question about my new Defender. So I bought a 2001 Station Wagon that had been converted into a Utility. I'm in the process of converting it back somewhat. There was a partition installed behind the rear seats where I thought the bulkhead would be but when I removed it there...

Thanks, the thing about the strike plate not being far enough out did it. I realised that if I closed it really hard it would actually lock so I moved it forwards by about 1mm. Closes and locks no problem now.

Thanks but I have the lock changed over, it only took about five minutes. The problem is that the lock still doesn’t work and I’m not sure if it’s user error or not.

So I’ve just got a 2001 TD5 110. I love it but for the life of me I can’t lock the back door. I thought the lock was just broken so I bought a new one from Bearmach. When I flick the latch on the inside up it stays up but when I close it I can still open it, and the latch is down. I don’t know...

Hi guys. I've been looking at Defenders for years and finally bit the bullet and bought an early TD5 110. Please don't feel like I'm expecting anyone to read all of this, I'm just dumping my mind here. I've still got loads of googling to do. So it's a TD5 with the 10P and all that comes with...
