hi all, quick question. does anyone who does mot's know if you can put spot lamps on your wing mirrors forward facing? the discovery I'm building is to suit the job i do and its a handy place to have them their. its complicated to explain. many thanks for your time chris

If im honest i dont expect to get what iv paid for the vehicle which we recon just by memory is around 12000 so far. But i havnt skimped on parts ect an their genuine land rover parts where i can. There is no mot or tax. As its not ready yet.

Sorry these are all i have. I havnt pulled it out of the garage yet but it does run. Due to ill health i havnt touched it in 2 months. It also had the compushift system too.

Hi all. im looking to sell my defender td5 110 high capacity pick up project. its based on a 1991 high cap vehicle with all the v5 documents. the vehicle has a fully rebuilt td5 engine with genuine land rover parts. Ashcroft stage 2 auto box Ashcroft rebuilt Borg Warner transfer box front and rear axles have been rebuilt with arb air lockers built in and ash croft heavy duty half shafts. bf Goodrich mud terrain km 2 tires all around. heavy duty prop shafts full twisted performance exhaust system hybrid turbo. large inter cooler system. discovery 2 auto box cooler the vehicle was currently been modified to have a foot well in the back to accommodate 2 more seats in the tub area. mot checked and is fully legal to do providing the appropriate anchors are used. i have exact measurments of the roll cage from the original tomb raider . the main part of the cage has been made just needs mounts and cross braces. also the dash is half made in alli but was going to be modified to have a double din radio system, the loom is from an 2005 xs defender so has heated windscreen . heated seats etc. it also has a coated in black heritage grill as the original one does. the sides step are also half made to exact to the same ones from the original. the chassis is brandnew as the old one was shot . and also galvonised polyurathene bushes all round. new fuel sender unit egr by pass new half doors . fully painted body work in bonatti grey. im sure iv missed something i could just do with an idea of what the vehicle is worth. many thanks for your time guys chris

Oh an nanocom comes up with no faults. An the engine has been rebuilt.

Right guys iv just spent all night trying to get my defender td5 started for the first time. But im still having problems. It cranks over tries to fire up but wont. Heres everything iv done. Changed crank positioning sensor Brand new battery Checked all an i mean the wiring.(Ball ache) haha Brand new fuel sender Bleed the fuel system New fuel filter. New starter motor contacts. Now what iv found thats happening is when im cranking the engine the starter it will crank for like 5 seconds an then seem like its loosing power but the battery is fine. I even plugged it into a battery charger on boost. My minds boggled. Any ideas guys? Pleeeeeease.

No iv built this project from nothing. But thanks for the advice. Much apprieciated. No iv built this project from nothing. But thanks for the advice. Much apprieciated.

ill bare that in mind aswell. thank you. its mostly for the first time starting it up since the full rebuild and it sucks a lot of juice. im told they usually do

brilliant ill give it a go thanks for that

hi all. just a quick question. if i put a red positive lead from one battery to another the same and the same with the negative. it wouldnt affect affect anything would it? like make it 24v or anything. all im trying to do is start up my defender td5 for the first time and it seems to be drawing alot of juice to do it so my idea is to double up the batteries and put it on a charger at the same time. its nearly there with starting just runs out of juice as its about to .

I have it mentions a noisey crank ?????

Now you mention it. The engine light goes out but as soon as im attempting to turn it over the engine light comes on??

iv checked all these. iv been doing some research and one thing iv come across reading is someone having to change the crank sensor due to the vehicle not firing up but does crank? could this be something to look into or is it a myth?

im keep trying to start my defender td5, it cranks but doesnt fire up. iv checked all plugs and there all pluged in. also they sender unit is brand new and working fine. iv checked the ecu for oil and nothing. is there any common problems you guys can think of that could be causing this? thanks

Hey thanks for the reply. The numbers and the fault iv put up are what comes up on my screen. Where would i get a technicians manual from? If you dont mjnd me asking

Thanks in advance. Chris

Hi all. im fitting an auxillary fuse box onto my defender td5 which i only want to activate when i turn the ignition on so ill be running it through a relay . my question is where would you guys take a feed from as in which wire that will go to the relay and activate it up on start up? there is a spare plug on the td5 ignition that joins to the brown and white wire would something like this work? many thanks as always for everyones help.

Sorry i should of said. Its a defender td5 so the green ecu type one.

Do alarm ecu's need programming into a defender. If so how do i do it an can i do it from my own garage as its a project im building and the vehicle wont start up with out it. ?

Its a genuine land rover fuel sender unit
