Oh - thanks!
Looks like a trip to the workshop, albeit not under its own power. |

Hi!
I had this issue as well - not all doors locking. It turned out to be a chaffed cable inside the affected door that caused the problem. Might be a good spot to check! |

Folks,
I have to say, despite all rumors: my Defender has been very robust and reliable, as we're approaching 120,000 miles now. It was clearly the right choice to get one and I still love the old ... |

Interesting to see this topic is still active!
Here's an update from my rattler: with the exchange of my only loosely seated injectors the problem had been solved for good. The 110 ran fine for an ... |

I've identified my problem in the meantime:
the injector seals were leaking, and albeit I had the job done at a garage, they did it badly and skipped one injector.
Once all injector seals were b ... |

| Hmm, both could be it. However, I would presume the turbo dump valve only doing it's job when accelerating, i.e. when reengaging gears and pushing the accelerator down again. I'll have to keep an eye ... |

Dear fellow Defender enthusiasts,
my car is a neverending source of the most astounding quirks I have ever experienced in a vehicle. I still love it to bits though 
So, now my latest stra ... |

| Sounds pretty similar. What confounds me, though - squealing (or rather, chirping) from the brakes only occurs at 50mph. If I step on the brakes, it stops. But if I accelerate, it also vanishes. Rathe ... |

Hmm, there might be a thermal cause, though. Squealing starts usually after half an hour on the motorway...
On a sidenote: yours is a 2007 java black 110?
Nice car, got just the same

Hm, I also just had new calipers fitted... would not be good. They're maybe 3 weeks old, and 2k miles. Was rather pricey altogether.
Is there any way to diagnose stuck calipers? Can you see them mo ... |

Quick question: can anything be done to prolong the life of the output shaft, or is there any way to see it's state from the outside?
Also, gearbox needs to come out for changing this, right?

Thanks a lot for your advice, folks! i presume it's either the pads being run in, or something vibrating at a resonance frequency, as it always occurs at exact the same speed.
Maybe it's just part ... |

Hi folks,
I'd like to ask for advice. Just had my rear breaks completely remade at a garage (disks, pads, calipers, everything, ), only to find them squealing today at (only!) 50 mph and exhibiting ... |

Here's how I would proceed:
1. run the engine, open the bonnet, see if the injectors are perhaps loose and dance about. Sometimes the H-shaped brackets loosen and cause knocking. Easy fix, new scre ... |

Hi thujack,
I have since sold the truck and the problem was never really found out.
However - it's sucessor, my current Defender, has revealed the probable cause. My current Puma (at 70k miles) ... |
