ELLI 110 TD5

Hy guys Many thank on comments so far it has been a great help. In on the other hand can not say much to others as of this point but hopefully in the future i can. I just got home from putting checker plates on my defender 110 and the right side doors are not in there original place so they need adjustment . The gap on the bottom needs to be at least 4mm so the plate fist and door can be opened an closed properly. I did not want to go for taking the door off as i did not see any way to get to the nuts on the other side of the bolt. They are visible on the bolt that goes onto the door it self they are easy to access but what happens when you undo the bolt that attache the hinge to the body. Will i hear a cling sound when the nut falls into the middle of the body and i will have many problems ore is the nut welded on the back and no worries. Just undo them and remove the door from the body and adjust then Pleas advice if this is in the manual then i need to get a copy as there was none in the car when i git it. Elli

Hello guys I am still new here and have found out a lot from being here and getting hints and tips from other LR fellows. I am wondering about oil thickness for Motor gearbox Diffs and all that stuff. I have been to to use ATF oil for gearbox. The red one you put on Automatic transmission but need to know the rest and if somebody has anything to say about ATF on gearbox it would be great to have some feedback. Elli

Morning All I am a new Defender user have been looking for 4 years and found one and took it. 2001 110 defender TD5 has only 85KM on motor. But a few problems so far after a 3 week period of having this LR. At first t was a noise fuel pump and after a few seconds in some gear 2nd ore 3rd it choked for a split second here and there bumm bumm bumm With out the bumm bumm sound and i changed gear and problem gone until i got to a higher RPM then again. This problem would not com when just slowly maintained the diesel oil and got the car to its highest speed slowly. But when i did floor it after coming out of a round about in 3rd gear then this came back sort of bumm bumm bumm. And this morning i did check when running cold i did floor it and nothing came then after about 10 minutes when the engine was getting hot then it started aagin Ok fine every one i asked said your fuel pump makes so much noise that it is going to crash any day so i got a new pump and put it in. @ workshop so all done by pros. But the problem is still there fuel pump is not noise and i would not think it is messing things up but something else is. I have read there is a RED ECU plug that may be dirty in oil. I am about to go for that if i get some other ideas then i will be very happy. has any one had a similar problem with is Land Rover. Please Please help please. Elli Cassata
