First Landy I drove was a lightweight fitted with that engine and it was amazing fun! I am so glad you are far away from me or Id be driving over and I know where that would lead.

I have posted some hood sticks on ebay. To be honest not sure which landy they are from but among them is a front rail and 4 clips for a 90 ( I know its from a 90 as it was on mine). The others are either series 3 or defender. NOT a full set though. link is...

I have 2 steering locks for sale one is a 4tress type, voted best deterrent a couple of years ago when I bought it, and the other an auto loc which is no good for a standard defender wheel but fitted my smaller Mountney. 4tress is like a crooklock type thing whereas the autoloc goes around the...

Most ex police were manual I think. Look for white ones!

Car sold to first person who came to see it. I had loads of calls and seriously think I under priced it.

I have run my X reg Disco 2 for two years and its been fairly trouble free. Certainly nothing more than you would expect from a 16 year old car. It has never stranded me or broken down. Worst was a fuse for the rear suspension. Chassis has had one bit of preventative welding although many newer...

Sadly a new job means I am selling my Disco as I think 2 hours a day on the motorway wont do her any good at her age. She is a TD5 ES from 2000 on an X plate with the headlamps that don't get nicked. The body is pretty immaculate (as many are) but the main thing is the chassis is really solid...

That's fair enough and its each to their own. I have had both 300Tdi and Td5 and know that a tuned TD5 will be head and shoulders above a tuned 300Tdi for everyday use and driveability IMO. I am not talking outright speed which doesn't matter to me but torque uphills, driving when cold, and so...

Just curious why you want a Tdi and not a Td5? I have had both and when re mapped a TD5 is miles better in my opinion.

I used to police Halifax and there are a number of specialists in Land Rover and parts thefts and sadly just as many places that will buy them from the thieves. Disco2 headlights are particularly popular in these parts.

There's loads on here about remaps but it makes a massive difference on a TD5, well worth the expense!

Suspiciously cheap and while it might be ok it could also lead to loads of problems. I used Mike at Dynachip and have no regrets at all.

Why do they want mobile numbers?

When I sold my 90 I thought I had taken plenty of photos but genuine buyers who were willing to travel emailed me asking for pics of bulkhead, chassis, underneath etc. When you get a good day I would perhaps consider taking some for when people ask? Good luck with your sale. What you need is a...

I had the straight through exhaust and EGR removed and found it made no difference to the power though it sounded better. The remap made a massive difference, losing that terrible flat spot you seem to have (like the old Tdi also had) and just made it so much more responsive. I replaced the...

I would second those comments about dynachip. He comes to you and mine has been done for a couple of years now. Its like chalk and cheese.

I had read something about a warm up cycle but if that is what its doing then it cant be doing it right as its far more noticeable than I would have thought it should be.

To be fair the car looks alright and if I was local id investigate further. It is ridiculously cheap though and I always think if it looks too good to be true then it probably is. But then that little part of me thinks........

Honestly nothing to do with me but this seemed very cheap to me; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Defender-110-Country-Station-Wagon-TD5-Silver-/182023510865?hash=item2a61725b51:g:ivwAAOSwll1WwEum Unless I am out of touch on prices?

That's occurred to me about it being gearbox related as diagnostics revealed nothing. Would torque convertor problem only be evident when cold?
