Technical Discussions / Defender TD5 Rebuild

Last post by grizzlychicken - May 20, 2026, 08:51 PM

Yes I'm still alive and back at it this last week again. Busy winter of travel to Europe!

Finished one door prep. Just waiting for the new exterior handles to arrive from exmoor.
Pretty happy with how it is Turning out:

Also got the auxiliary fuel tank installed. This was a wrestle! Had to make sure all the right rear wiring was good as it get buried behind the tank!



Then moved onto the battery box compartment. I've installed an espar airtronic d2 which should work great in the winter. Going to use its radian heat to help with keeping the aux battery at temperature.

If you are not aware of how the truck was found, it happened in this thread on the Roverlander's forum.

My cousin has 3D printed these radio holders, seems to fit any beofeng nicely, but I am sure it'll fit most handhelds. If you would like one let me know and I can bring some to the next dinner meet in Edmonton for June!
They are 5$ each to make them. Let me know!
