Which one did you go for stage 1 or 2? I am totally confused what to go for half the people you speak to say the cost is the same go for stage 2 (190 ish bhp) it’s the same price and isn’t too silly and the rest say just do a stage 1 (160 ish bhp) it’s fruity enough without running at too high a...

Not interested in turning it into a race car just a bit more usable, better power for pulling of especially with a trailer etc, and if I need to overtake a bit of extra power to get past in a safe time.

So would you get a remap done first and then fit an uprated intercooler at a later date?

When i bought my defender 90 it was half way through being fitted with air conditioning, the blowers are all mounted and the front radiator and pipes, but they didnt get as far as fitting the pumps and the last of the pipe work and the belt, which i have. I live in Scotland and this is not my...

Thanks for that, will lock it in aa shed as well just to be on the safe side. there have been a lot of modern keyless entry cars nicked in our area but we have a signal jamming box we keep our keys in, i imagine they turned up to nick one of those couldnt scan for the keys then thought they...

brake cleaner is the best thing for that isn't it?

I will eventually get a remap done so it will need to be done at some point, I have read quite a few posts now from other vehicle forums and everyone seems to be saying the same thing “spend a little more and get a reputable manufacturer’s one” no one seems to have had any bad experiences with...

I am ashamed to admit I did order a Britpart one as it was £28 an original was £150, will it be totally useless? The EGR blank is an Allisport one. Some scumbags tried to steal the vehicle last night, luckily it has a very loud alarm and they scarppered. Hope they don’t come back.

I am toying with the idea of a stage 2 remap so would need one for that.

Been looking to put an up rated inter cooler into my TD5 defender, so would be interested to hear if anyone has any experience of these, did you end up going for one?

bugger, took the landy out his afternoon and the problem seems to have returned, i have ordered an EGR blank and a new MAF sensor will fi and see if that fixes it, also wondering about an uprated intercooler?

I currently have standard (heated) seats in my defender, looking to put something a bit more comfortable in, not fussed about them being heated. a lot of people recommend the RX8 seats but i am not that keen on the racer look that these seats have. i had heard that some Alfa Romoe seats are an...

Not sure we’re yours would be mine is an older TD5

Changed the actuator and put the new turbo pipes on, the 2 the turbo side of the engine went on simple enough but the one the drivers side would not go on no matter what I tried (bloody LR Center sent me Britpart ones instead of the Terra Firma ones I ordered) the old one was still good and it...

It’s really easy, I used fairy liquid to get the seals nice and lubricated and they went in no problem, first time I had ever put any type of window in a car, looked a lot smarter and stopped the leaks!

Waste gate is seized solid, actuator is seized solid and two of the pipes on the turbo side of the engine look like they goosed, free’d off the waste gate tonight but new actuator and silicone pipes don’t arrive until tomorrow. Checked the leads to the ECU and looks like I have oil creep ‍♂️. Is...

i read a lot of stuff about the waste gate but assume that is only an issue at the top end of the boost not when its spooling up?

thanks for that will go have a look, the Bearmach ones are about half the price their stuff is normally ok what are there hoses like?

not sure, might run it to a mates garage and see.
