Did you do the Alisport Egr blank? I did one on my 2001 TD5 Defender yesterday and it was a bastard to fit. First i found two of the four EGR bolts into the manifold were cross threaded and ruined. Then when i went to fit the exhaust feed pipe onto the new Alisport egr replacement pipe the...

That EGR delete kit ids no good for early Defenders 2001 and before. ALisport do one that has the new large inlet tube with a built in blanking for the egr pipe the goes to the exhaust. It saves all the pain if the two exhaust bolts snap off or just wont come out. BUT..... they dont sell a new...

Anyone know where to get a replacement clock for a Defender TD5 2001 apart from from LR themselves??? Mine ceased working so needs renewing. Also, are they 52mm size as i can see loads on Ebay for £30-50. Has anyone done this swap, for how much and from which seller etc?

I hope its of use to someone , here is a diagram of the wipers, fuses, switches etc in my TD5 defender. I had an issue of no high speed wipers and changed the steering column switch, the relay too. This is of use to use a m/meter to see if there is power to the motor from the switch etc to find...

You wiper motor may be duff or has worn out its internal cog or its flimsy park unit. The park unit is an easy swap out and only a couple of pounds. But, it may also be the two drive spindles sticking where the wiper arms are driven through the bulkhead or it the drive cable from the motor to...

I had it on my 2001 TD5. It was the £2-3 non return valve clogged with washer bottle debris/gunge. The NR valve sits in the plastic pipe between the pump and the windscreen nozzle. Take off the front nearside headlight and look through the hole to see the washer bottle and the pump or pumps. If...

Get a mate to hold the pumps when you press the washer button on the steering . If like me you have a two pump set up on the washer bottle you can then tell if its the front or rear one. If both of them buzz when you press their button, the you need a new non return valve which costs about £2-3...

Anyone reading this old thread who has a small spray on the front screen should do this as i did it on my Def90 TD5 and its fine now. Remove the front headlight panel and lights. Look in the hole where the headlight was to see two washer pumps on the washer bottle inside the front wing. One...

See this on the web and then go look at a Britannica Restoration Ltd video on Youtube to see a man make his own version with a welder and an old 115 degree cog from a wiper motor. It gives a full screen sweep and no gaps like the 115 degree original version does.

I was trying to save the £25 cost of the new 140 deg cog and the wasted effort too. If your wipers go onto the screen rubber then i would say you need to move them on the wiper spindles one groove so they dont.

I was hoping to get a much wider sweep of the screen than the 115 degree version gives me. The newer Defenders have this as standard and the annoying non swept part of the windscreen will exist no more. On Youtube there is a man from Britannic Restorations who does the modification to the...

Has anyone any info on the wiper drive cog upgrade from 115 degree to 140 degree? I would seem to be a good upgrade but has anyone done it on a standard wiper motor on a Defender 90? I have a 2001 TD5 and am thinking of swapping mine and have seen a Youtube video that shows a similar change and...

Thanks it all helped. I found out from a guy on Youtube videos in Canada that the fuse i wanted was the one for the hazard lights and the rear wiper/washer. So top row and third from the right. No mention of indicators but the man from Britannica Restorations Ltd knew where to look and which...

If i can get a friend to use his Multi meter on my 2001 Def 90 TD5 wiper motor i can test the wiring to it from the stalk on the steering column. If it doesnt connect or work, i will then have to also buy a new wiper motor as i am told it has an internal switch that detects the higher voltage...

The diagram for electrics on the 2002 Defender shows fuse 21 and 31 as being used. 31 in a satellite fusebox and 21 in the passenger area one. Trouble is mine only shows 20 fuses and i have no idea where a satellite fusebox sits,

I dont have an alarm on it but do have a disabling anti start switch. Did you see what i meant regarding the hopeless diagram from the fuse cover. No mention of the left/right arrows like on yours/

What do you think a 'SOUNDER' is? Could it be the Flasher that normally clicks or the horn? Being an English motor it should say horn surely?

My nearside rear indicator light was that bad when i removed it and it was totally caked in mud behind it. When i waggled the wires after removoving the plastic light unit i pushed out inches of caked dirt onto the rear wheel. It shows how badly treated these lights are. I then dried out the...

I changed all the bottom row 10a fuses trying to resolve this today as in the pic i posted of my fuses.

See my version which is very different and this is why i couldnt locate the indicator fuse as the two left arrow one in your pic isnt on mine.
