Hi guys, The ignition system on my 1989 V8 3.5 looks original - apart from a new dizzy cap someone put on quite recently. But the amplifier and coil both appear to be 36 years old. I'm getting a very weak spark and am tempted to fit a new electronic ignition and have done with it. A bit of...

Hi all, The V8 I bought recently was becoming more reluctant to start and this morning I couldn't get it running at all. I pulled off the petrol pipe and spun 'er over and fuel positively gushed out. So I grabbed the HT coil output lead, disconnected it from the centre of the dizzy and coiled...

Hi all, On this County 110 I bought recently, there are some areas of severe corrosion on the panelwork. For the most part these are localised and I need to decide what to do about them. Getting new skins is out of the question as I want to keep the bodywork and its signature decals as original...

Hi all, I've been offered this 1989 V8 County 110 Safari by the widow of an old friend who died a while ago. I quite fancy a County but this one's a bit tired and scruffy as you can see from the picture. The shabby bodywork with rusty bits lets it down. Interior's not too bad and it appears to...

The following synopsis has been circulating online. I'd just like to run it past the Panel here to check if there's anything noteworthy about it; does it all add up? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++...

Sorry, folks, this has since been sold.

Hi all, Got a problem with the clutch on my Defender 110. The first half of the pedal's travel is only resisted by the pedal return spring. Only when over half-way down do I feel the heavy resistance of the hydraulic valve present itself, so the clutch only becomes fully disengaged at about one...

Hi all, After 5 years of faithful service, the time has arrived for me to reluctantly sell my Defender since I'm finding the clutch a bit too heavy for my poor old left hand knee which went under the knife earlier this year and hasn't been the same since. I'm totally out of touch with values...

Hi all, Just tidying-up a few loose ends on my 2003 Defender TD5 before I put it up for sale. I'm finding that the n/s headlight is blowing 10A fuses whenever it's put on main beam. The fuses blow right away so it looks like a near or total short-circuit. Any ideas as to what could be causing...

Hi all, After four fabulous years, I've decided it's time to part with my faithful Landy. Trouble is, I haven't a clue what it's worth. I've looked on Ebay (as you do) but the spread of values is so vast it's impossible to get any idea of an accurate value for mine. So that's where you come in...

Hi all, I've been with Adrian Flux for about 4 years and they've basically just helped themselves to the renewal fee via direct debit every year. But this time I had a query concerning the renewal so I rang them (always engaged) and emailed them (no reply) to try to get some clarification on...

I tried to buy my usual Motoquip engine oil for my next upcoming oil change, but my local retailer is no longer stocking it. I was offered some German stuff for an astronomical price which I declined. On the way back I stopped at a petrol station to top up on diesel and noticed they had Castrol...

Sounds like a washer motor, anyway. I've just replaced the entire front wiper system ('orrible job access wise) and upon stuffing all the wiring back behind the dash I thought I'd best carry out a few checks before finally tightening the screws. Since I'd had the instrument cluster out I...

Hi all, Well, after my wipers packed up I determined by various means that the problem was the wiper motor. And indeed there is a serious fault with that motor, so buying a new one was not a waste of money. But it's clearly not the whole story, since the wipers are still frozen in position and...

Hi all, I need a new front wiper motor for my TD5 and was wondering if anyone can recommend a decent by-post parts supplier they have had a good experience with? Or failing that a decent parts supplier in central London as I have to go there next week anyway. I did check out the forum...

Hi all, I finally got around to trying to find out why my Defender's wipers have packed up. On removing the top panel, I was able to spot a problem immediately, although I'm not sure if this is definitely the cause, it's certainly highly likely. At the point where the wiring from the wiper...

Hi all, My wipers just suddenly packed up. Thought it might have been a blown fuse but it isn't. So next thing to check is the front wiper relay. Er, anyone know where it is? This is a 2003 TD5 station wagon if that makes any difference. cheers,

I'd like to do something about my rusty doors. I won't waste time describing the degree of rust beyond saying they've rotted through to holes you can stick 3 fingers into in places but are totally fine elsewhere. So complete door replacement would be overkill IMV. At this point I would have...
