  1. My td5 ( 2001) has been using significant amounts of water. No obvious leaks. But constant driving would require frequent stops to allow for cooling and then 3 or 4 litre water refill. The gauge isn’t rising above the half way mark at any of these moments and will usually rest at the below half mark for the duration after warming up. I’ve put new recommended concentrated type coolant in, but seemingly to no avail. After 15 to 20 minutes of driving I can be sure there’s been a loss of around a litre of contents, I replaced an old top hose set up with a new one thinking I noted some loss of integrity around the hose layers. So in sum, no leaking signs, new hose, coolant added, but water disappears. Any thoughts or advice welcomed as per.
  2. Thank you mmgemini: I will follow up the tip which is much appreciated.
  3. Recovery Man: as you had suggested, I removed the air intake on the wing, and found in the tube receiving air from there, what appears to be a piece of black (sound-deadening?) sponge. Removed that and removed the previously reported whirring noise. My hat has been tipped in your direction.
  4. Guys, whatever your intentions, the posts are very welcome to someone who's still in the early learning centre of land rover mechanicals. I will do as I am bid. Thanks to all again.
  5. Thank you Recovery Man. I'm assuming it's the drivers side your pointing me to, and hopefully when I get to it tomorrow it isn't a lengthy job? Can I pick your brains,too, about another fault? And for anyone else that happens across this thread. The last few days have seen the heater making a loud whirring noise when the setting is onto full. The air is being put through the respective vents of choice, although albeit not necessarily warm when set to heat. The noise appears to be coming from the floor plan area, or under. Any ideas on fix?
  6. Hi everyone, so, the horn on my defender 110 ( 2001 version) has recently decided to go all feeble like. It works from the stalk, but there is a sense it is either got faulty wiring or some problem in its volume. Regardless, my first problem however, is where is the horn located on the body of the Defender. I read different things, offside and or near side headlamp area, behind the front grill. Is there someone who can tell me exactly where and save me some time searching here and there. Oh, if you have an idea as to what is causing the problem then that would be helpful too. I can say that the relay under the drivers seat appears to be doing its job: which is probably evident given there is some noise from the horn.
