I've got one of these air scoops fitted to my Td5.... Since fitting the engine noise seems to have increased and mpg is slightly lower than before. Is forced/cold air better for the engine? At the moment it's pretty bloody cold, so is that a factor? I've been told that cold air is...

Has anyone used LR Servicing in Oxton, Nottingham for servicing, and if so what did you think? They're very local to me, I've been there for a few spares but not for a service yet. I have a TD5 that'll soon need a good seeing to.

I thought it only had one belt!! Thanks for the replies, it looks like it's slipping due to oil dripping onto the drive belt, I've not had time to have a good look at it yet, mainly because it's bloody freezin cold at the moment, but thats my best guess.

Whats the probable cause of screeching on a cold start-up? I've heard it lots of cars, not just Defenders, it sounds like a belt, maybe the fan/timing belt or alternator belt? It has been doing it over the last week, since its been getting colder, might just be a coincidence though, for about...

Hi, is this still for sale, do you still have it? I know it's been ages!!

I've got a brand new set that I don't need, where abouts are you, I'm in NG4, Notts

£250+vat

This isn't an advert - just a word of thanks and a recommendation for anyone in the East Mids who's thinking about having a tune. I eventually given in and had my 2005 TD5 remapped, it ran 'fine' as standard but after hearing what 'could' be done, I decided to take the plunge. A local...

Do you need all 20 nuts? I have 5 new ones that I bought by mistake if they're any good?

Do you need a set of 5 or a full set? I've got 5 brand new nuts for P38 alloys that I've bought by mistake, they cost me £16 delivered. £10 posted. Cheers

OK, thanks for explaining the tyre size thing, I never knew the percentage equation. You learn something every day. I'm still sure of the wheel offsets though, the Boost are +33, the steels are +8, so it stands to reason that the difference is going to be 25mm? This'll move the outer edge of...

Thanks BGB, top reply. The Boost's offset is (I think) +33mm, the steels I have are +8mm, with the 265's fitted they come nicely to the edge of the wheel arch, so if I swapped the 265's to the Boost then surely they would be 25mm inside where they are now? Does that make sense? I also can't...

I've got an O/E bumper from a 2005 Defender 90, straight, no damage, couple of bits of rust starting to come through but nothing major, all as you'd expect. £10 collection only - from NG4 (Nottm)

I know that somebody will say this has been covered a buzillion times but.... I've just bought some Boost alloys for my Defender 90 and now have 2 sets of wheels and tyres, 265/75/16's BFG's All Terrains fitted to my steel rims, and 235/85/16's General Grabbers fitted to the Boosts. I've been...

Thanks Shifty, very much appreciated, I'll have a look and clean it all out as soon as I get time, many thanks for your help.

OK, thanks, is it located inside the end of the inlet manifold, next to the 4 bolts that were undone to remove the valve? Is it easy to take it out? Cheers

I've removed the EGR valve from my 2005 defender, it's the type with the cooler as part of the system, here's what I've done so far - have I missed anything ----- ? 1. Removed plastic engine covers to the engine and the one above the fan 2. Disconnected the vacuum hoses from the EGR and...

I'm after some wheels to fit a 2005 defender, 5 alloys preferably, boost would be great, nothing with more than a few marks on please as they'll be my main set, I have 5 good tyres on steel rims so I don't really need the tyres but I'm open to offers - let me know what you have - PM me if...

Thanks, what's RRC? I guess D1 is discovery 1 but not sure about RRC
