Just when I decide to sell - someone up theirs having a laugh! Its like limp mode if I keep the hammer down it will eventually clear and accelerate like the turbo kicking in - if I change down gear it stays limp until revs pick up. If I pull over and restart the engine it does clear it 9 times...

99 Td5 defender 110 There has been a slight leak from top of the thermostat for a while - topping up every couple of weeks depending on use. I had a look and jiggled some pipes and thought you know what I'm going to get my local garage to do this one! Local garage diagnosed new thermostat and...

Revving! Hunting! Surging! It's been getting worse over last few months. I'm now taking slow corners at slow high speed! It's usually worse on short journey. High revs at idle & under acceleration, it does dip & surge randomly. Replaced filters & cleaned sensors. Any suggestions greatly...

Ordering up an Alisport blank kit for my p10 td5. Checked with them if exhaust manifold gasket included but they say they only use a bit of jointing compound. Is this best practise?

Hi, I've searched the site & can't find any discussions on HGS... probably a reason for that! My garage (independent LR specialist) says he thinks HG has gone. It's been a long road to this point with many parts being replaced to resolve issue. Radiator connector hose split a couple of days ago...

Hi, has anyone bought one of these racks? If so are they any good. Mild steel, zinc primed & powder coated. I'm looking at around £500 for a slim line one for my 110. Thanks.

Apologies if this has been covered. My ongoing mission to stop coolant disappearing has now turned to the water pump after replacing the fuel cooler. I've noticed rust coloured coolant on top up the water pump. Does this suggest it's failing & are they quite straight forward to replace? Thankyou

Hello all, so I replaced engine and transfer box oil a couple of weeks ago in my 1999 td5 defender with the intention to replace gearbox oil. It's like the gearbox is shouting you forgot me! Because reverse gear selection has become mighty stiff. So first port of call replace oil? ....and if so...

Hello, not sure why it's taken me so long to join this community as I bought my 1999 TD5 110 Defender last August on 84k miles. I use it for my landscaping business so need it to be a daily driver. I'm quickly realising this is not as straight forward as I thought! Since last August it's had a...
