    Keeping my Defender safe

    You can fit one of these: SV solenoid fuel valves - FW Murphy Europe in the fuel line. It will only allow fuel through when it's getting 12v. You can switch it through an immobiliser or just a simple hidden switch. As others have said, once you have made it difficult to drive away, the...

    Does anyone know what this is?

    Showed these pics to a vehicle safety engineer. The box looks like a data logging unit, the sensors looks like they could be accelerometers, especially given their placing around the vehicle. So, that would indicate some kind of vehicle testing that involved logging how the vehicle moved and...

    Wading - What needs to be done to a defender to get down and deep?

    The OP on this thread has a picture of the hole the wading plug goes in on the TD5 flywheel housing: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/bolt-missing-gearbox-207850.html If you can't see it, it's possible you have a plug fitted already (in which case, take it out to check if there is any oil...

    Wading - What needs to be done to a defender to get down and deep?

    On a 300tdi there are two places to put wading plugs - in the bottom of the flywheel housing and in the bottom of the timing case. The plugs are just little threaded plugs that screw into the holes. I would guess the td5 is similar but I'm sure someone can confirm. When you fit wading...

    Early or later engine??

    I don't think the prefixes on the engine number run chronologically - rather they indicate the original vehicle the engine was for: (from The 300Tdi Engine | Land Rover Expedition) If the history of the engine is unknown, you might be better off opening the timing case and having a look at...

    Name of part that joins air filter straps to bracket

    If anyone is looking for these parts, the cheapest I have found was paddocks (where they call them 'mounting rubbers') - £1 each compared to £8.90 for a set of four from ebay. ERR2337 | Mounting Rubber

    Name of part that joins air filter straps to bracket

    I'm trying to find some replacement bits to secure my air filter box (at the moment, all four mountings have broken so it rattles like a goodun) Judging from the remains that are there, the parts I need are like two bolts joined by a rubber section in the middle. I've found some discussions of...

    removing window winder handle

    It will have a circlip behind the winder - my 1998 defender has circlips rather than the removable insert. To see the clip, you need to push on the door panel and the black circular bit between the handle and the winder - you should then be able to see the clip in the gap and get some long...

    Advise on Defender 88 value, looking to buy one

    You want something that will be easy to maintain. Why on earth would you go for a Frankenstein's Monster of a vehicle that has parts from at least 3 different models on it?

    Fuel shut off solenoid

    hmmm, the plot thickens... The kit the_wolf refers to is on this page: VWP - fuel filters, fuel pumps, fuel valves 200Tdi and 300Tdi engines do use a leak off system to return unused fuel to the tank so based on the statement, this kind of solenoid is not suitable. Can anyone with more...

    Fuel shut off solenoid

    Will do. For obvious reasons, I won't be posting any pictures of where I end up fitting the solenoid, but I will happily provide details of which one I end up using and how easy it is to fit.

    Fuel shut off solenoid

    Any chance you could post the details of the solenoid in that kit? I don't need the rest of the kit so if I could get a part number for just the solenoid, hopefully I can find somewhere that will sell it.

    Fuel shut off solenoid

    The amazon product seems to have disappeared since I posted - annoying! I'm planning to connect it through the immobiliser. Basically, a 12v line to the solenoid, connected through one of the two immobilser circuits. Can anyone point me in the right direction of the solenoid to put in the fuel...

    Fuel shut off solenoid

    Following Ratty's advice, I want to use a fuel shut off solenoid with the immobiliser I'm going to fit. Is this the kind of thing I should use? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fuchs-Shut-off-Solenoid-In-Line-Diesels/dp/B009YXRGZ6
