Problem all sorted! Turned out to be the worn/pitted solenoids (see attached pic) on the starter motor. I replaced these with a $20 eBay kit and she starts beautifully each and every time. Thanks to e ...

Recently been having issues when starting my 110 TD5. Half the time it cranks longer than usual. Always starts eventually and drives flawlessly, but worried that it might be a sign of bigger issues to ...

This tab also definitely needs to be removed, since it obscures the top two bolts of the pedal box.

Need to replace my clutch master cylinder since it's been leaking onto the floor mat for quite a while. The biggest headache seems to be removing the pedal box. Has anyone achieved this on a RHD Td5 w ...

Common problem: my indicator stalk cancels prematurely when indicating right. I'm 110% sure that it's due to the rubber gaiter/boot/grommet, since the stalk works perfectly when the gaiter is retracte ...

Might be worth replacing the relay anyways. All the contacts look good and tight, but inside the relay will probably be pitted from the constant on/off. Mine still did it until I replaced the relay :t ...

Got a Defender TD5 2006. Very intermittently (maybe 10% of the time) it doesn't start on the first attempt. It does start properly on the subsequent attempt, but after driving for a few seconds it giv ...
