2002 Defender 110 Td5 XS DCPU Bonatti Grey
I’m coming back to Land Rover
Over the years I’ve had a Series 3, 200, 300tdi and a TD5......then I went to the dark side (got a BMW company car).
Now I’ve realised I can’t live without a defender in my life! I’ve seen a 110 Utility XS that is in budget. It’s a 57 Plate with 85k on the clock. My question is does this year have any particular problems to look out for?

Any and all replies will be greatly appreciated

Jim

Welcome back Jimmi. Original clutches and output shafts can be problematic from what I’ve read. Good luck with the USW. Thumbs Up

Loose injector clamps, oil leaking around the injectors - all indicate it'll need the injectors pulling out and refitting with new washers.
