    Disco II - Starter or Glow Plugs or something else?

    Hi, hope you all had a good Christmas! I've a 1999 Disco II, she's been struggling to start over the last few weeks and yesterday wouldn't start at all. Full battery but symptoms of a dead battery. I have tried two other batteries just in case, and she will start with jump leads off my...

    Crank Case Breather Valve?

    Hi, Can some explain why the mushroom valve is required on the TD5 engine? If it is one way and potentially blows (albeit nominal amounts) of oil into the turbo why not bypass it altogether and bank off the breather valve? Thanks....

    Chequered Plate on Bonnet/wings

    Hi all, I am going to fit some 3mm chequered plate on my 110 (1999) wings and bonnet. I have seen a few videos and one or two suggest putting something between the plate and the bonnet. Is this something you have done or gone for riveting straight to the bonnet? I am getting mine from Rimmer...

    Quick Aux Battery Question

    I have a professionally installed Second battery that was originally installed to power a fridge etc... I really only use it for internal lights and a convertor, 12v cigar lighter extensions for compressor and so on. Is there any harm in leaving it 'On' via the isolator switch? Its a bit of a...

    Defender 110 Light Bar Wiring Question

    Hi, First off, I need to say I am pretty useless reading wiring diagrams, a bit of a blind spot, so bear with me! I am looking to wire in a Light bar, already fitted and good to go. I would 'like' to be able to have it work both independently to the main beam but also to come on with the main...

    Battery Clamps...

    Hi, I bought a new battery, one of these that I highly recommend. However, the old one was wedged in by the PO, and now I am looking for some clamps that I can use to secure this one properly. As the terminals are in the centre many of the ones I find won't work - any advice recommendations...

    How noisy is noisy?

    Hi everyone, Quick question, how noisy is a TD5 (110–1999) fuel pump? My Disco TD5 (2001) is silent, but my 110 goes through two stages, is whines and is definitely audible, there's no doubt its doing its thing, then it increases in pitch, sounds like its had a sudden voltage increase - very...

    Is it always the Syncro?

    Got a bit of a 'crunch' when going from 2nd into 3rd gear. Is that always a syncro issue or could it be the gear stick / selection end of things? I know that there is a relatively easy selector mod you can buy...can't recall the details! 1999 TD5 110 SW Ta!

    If money was no object.....

    What battery would you buy? I've a 1999 TD5 110, dual battery system - start on the dot when batteries are linked, main battery drops to below 7v when cranking....when cold battery only holding around 12.5v - so I need another! Are the Odyssey PC1700's worth nearly £290 squid? Ta! p.s. I...

    Is this battery or fuel pump...or what?

    Hi, have a look, but more to the point 'listen' to this video for me. My 1999 110 struggles to start (you can hear the fuel pump in the background, does that sound right to you)? Then I link to two batteries and she fires up almost first time. What do you think, duff battery, fuel pump on the...

    Flat Spot at low revs...

    Hi, On the whole, my 1999 110 runs fine...well I am happy with it anyway. However, sometimes, I have to get the revs high for it to 'bite'. This only happens when I slow down for example, then press the throttle, it goes 'flat'....then I have to either change down into a (not needed) lower gear...
