Retaining sleeve for door lock barrels
Lockylockwood replied to Lockylockwood's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Hi all, a little update i soaked it in WD40 for a night and then just used a hammer and chisel. It’s currently looking like this. I’ll give it another soak and try again. I wish I had a vice. Might buy one 🤣 -

When you say warm it what do you mean? Blow torch? I have some WD40 but no plus gas. Would that work? -

Mine is metal. The instructions above are for a TD5 which they changed to plastic. Probably for this very reason -

Hi all, I am replacing the lock barrels on my defender 90 and I can’t prize the retaining sleeve from the old lock barrel. I have drilled the clip out (which was stuck) but it has all oxidised together. Any advice? either that, or does anyone know where I can get a new one from?

Retaining sleeve for tdi lock barrel

Did you ever find an answer for this? -
Hi all, I have just bought a galvanised rear door with a heated window. It comes unpainted so I was wondering what I should spray it with before the final coat? if someone could make some product suggestions for me and perhaps tell me what type of final paint to buy too. Here’s a picture of my defender

Update The following day I went out and it wasn’t starting again. I bought a new battery. One with a higher capacity and CCA. It seems to start every day since (although it takes a few seconds), however the battery light is still there and for some reason when I try to rev or even drive, the engine is lagging. Almost as if there isn’t enough power for something to engage the engine. Whereas before I was able to rev hard straight away. Not sure if that’s making sense to anyone?

So what you’re saying is that the warning light is somehow blocking the alternator from charging the battery until it’s off? That’s really interesting So what I’ll do is give it a go tomorrow morning. If it doesn’t start then I’ll jump start it and buy a new battery I definitely want this issue with the warning light fixed so I will definitely follow your advice on a higher wattage warning light (although I don’t know what the wattage is of the current one) Where can I get warning light bulbs from?

Very strange - I just bought one of these and it started immediately. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B015TKUPIC?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image I checked the volts straight away and it was 13.5 whilst the engine was running I took it for a drive and it was fine. I’ll leave the battery connected all night and see what happens tomorrow. I feel like almost everything needs replacing in this old banger 🤣

It was one of the cheap ones from Halfords website that showed as compatible for my defender 90 200tdi (retro from 2.5TD). This one: Halfords HB072/HCB069 Lead Acid 12V I tried to charge it overnight and it is still showing as charging this morning after 8 hours. I think you’re both right. I’ll get a new battery. I don’t want to make the same mistake again so I think I’ll buy a decent one. People are recommending 1000amps and 115ah Whats your thoughts? Anything wrong with having a stronger battery?
